Ald, your avatar makes you look somewhat experienced for some reason...

Thok: Your avatar would make me give less credit to what you said, if anything. It doesn't make me think alignment.

Alduskkel's makes me think scum, because it reminds me of phoebus', who was scum in one of my first games on this site.

Xtoxm's avatar gives me weak protown vibes. Pokerface's too, but in a different way.

Xyl's avatar makes him seem more savvy.

Thok's avatar makes his posts seem more precise to me.

Not much on the others, maybe because I haven't played with many of you.

These are just the avatar's I noted while playing mafia.
My first game with PF he had a different avatar with a bunch of kings. I actually thought because of his avator he was shifty.
Llama's always makes me happy. Call me a cartoon nut. I feel secure seeing his avator.
Bob's always makes me think of a kid.

Everyone tells me my avatar is an appeal to emotion. :P
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.

To go with the original title thing, PJ's avi makes me think he's the vig. All the time. Even when he's the mod. Which, admittedly, is the only experience I've had with him
I'm vaguely curious what effect people think my avatar has on others.
When did other people start using vaguely curious?

I'm less suspicious of people with cool avatars.
Fact.

Shaft.ed's is a Godfather with daykill, obviously.

I just tend to associate the people with the avatar. Goat is a goat, shaft.ed is black, Cyberbob is an under-evolved simian.

Which is actually why I chose it over the other one which looked more confused.

It actually might be an interesting experiment though to run a F11 or something with experianced players and have all the names be RedPlayer, BluePlayer etc and all avatars just be a solid color block. The biggest problem I could see there though is all the players would need to know eachother enough to be able to say "oh its them" after the game, but not realize it during the game.

Meh, it doesn't really bother me either way. My avatar-based impressions are rarely strong enough to influence my play.

It does look better now though. :)

Weird, I've only skimmed past his avatar a handful of times, but I always thought Goatrevolt's avatar was a frog. Then I looked closer and it's actually a goat - now I can't see the frog any more.
