Think of it like a football game where just for the fun of it we decide to dress up as dwarves and orcs. You may paint your skin green and write "Gortak" on your jersey, but remember the goal of the game is still to kick the ball between the goalposts, and not to capture Khaz Modan.

Below is the sign up thread for a game of Secret Hitler I'm organising. It is higher priority as a responsibility than this game as 8 other players were relying on me.

Note I don't post on tha thread it all week until yesterday, much like I didn't post on this thread much until yesterday:

I shouldn't really have to provide proof of out of game activity but it's clearly there.

LOL. So you’re hosting a game elsewhere, my heart hurts for you. I work Monday through Friday 8-5, I spend as much free time as I possibly can to support my daughter while she’s going through cancer, I don’t have a ton of free time to analyze and post. Shall we continue the sob stories outside of this game or just focus on this game and move on. I think we should focus on this game and move on, if you can’t do that I suggest you find a replacement because I could care less about some other game you are running.

*couldn't

@Trent, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope things go in the best way possible for her and your whole family. Let me know if you ever want to talk about it (or just chat like we used to do when we had more time on our hands). All the best, my friend!

Really, you want to correct my grammar now? You can piss off because that’s being a petty rude ass. I so wish I had the ability to kill you in this game because I sure as hell would. Don’t talk to me anymore in or out of this game.

Sorry, got interrupted and called away.


I've gone over your posts up to this one twice now. Still don't see why you'd be happy to lynch PookaMustard.


I must say that I expected, or at least hoped, for more than this. While I can understand that one can't be in mafia_state_of_mind all the time, I'm rather disappointed to see this as part of the reason for your absence. At the very least, you could have popped in to say you're not in the right state of mind.


Putting aside the fact that I never made a concrete accusation (you only have to (re?)read my posts), there's something about your early exchanges with blotunga (starting from post #67) that made me wonder if there isn't some sort of buddying up going on. Like neither of you were seriously squinting at the other one? They read to me sort of bantering, those "vote" exchanges between the two of you, along with the whole referencing of OMGUS-ing from past games included, i.e. they never even counted as votes in my eyes, let alone as serious ones.

And frankly, even now that you defend yours as a serious vote, I'm still wondering about those early exchanges.


It's not some personal oversensitivity on my part, votes need to be clear and not open to interpretation and/or retroactive enforcement for all the reasons others have already stated. That you don't think this is a serious matter, and have to ask, raises my eyebrow.


[emphasis added]

Heh.


[emphasis added]

Dude, is this for real? After how your play has been received this far, you're telling us that another game - let me repeat that, a game - is of higher priority to you than the commitment you made when you signed up for this one?

Seriously? Are you trying to compete with Fran67 for the most careless player place?

If you've lost your interest in this game, can't handle all your commitments or whatever else and want out, ask for a replacement, don't screw over our game.



I was going to say that it is indeed interesting, yet that it doesn't answer my question of what you think of the fact that he doesn't seem to be concerned (tone in his latest posts still reads blasé), but after refreshing and reading his post #257, I may have gotten my answer.

Thank you, I appreciate that.


I apologize to everyone for my reaction to Scene, even if it’s warranted IMO. Today is the 25 year anniversary of my father passing away and that on top of my daughter having to extend her treatments and I’m on edge. I know it’s a poor excuse, and it will not happen again.


That being said, Scene I still have no interest in talking with you outside of this game or anything that’s not game related in the game.

I was a tad optimistic in those earlier posts in that I was hoping/assuming that I didn't have several more days of headache (migraine?) ahead of me. I ended up skimming the posts since my last post but couldn't face reading the several days worth of posts I'd missed earlier. While my normal MO is lurky, it's lurking in the sense that I read but often don't post. In this instance I'm sorry but I just haven't been able to keep up with the thread. I'll have to read during the night.

Quite the opposite, Joe stole 25 minutes from us if that post is to be believed!

With it being more than 4 hours since Joe's 4 hours post and only 15 minutes away from being 10 hours after his 10 hours post, I'm going to call it.

Vote Fran67

Dude, that's piss poor form to the point of being callous.

You can't show some respect to someone with immensely serious issues to deal with in the physical world, yet expect understanding and sympathy for neglecting your responsibilities as host of another online game?


I'm really po'd at you right now, but let's give it a try - please point me to where up to your post #212 you explained why PookaMustard is on the table for you.


You asked for my explanation, I gave it to you. You don't like it. /shrug

I've stated multiple times already my view on your vote being counted retroactively, so won't go into that again.

As for blotunga being near the top of your lynch list - you've listed four people in your "I'm happy to lynch" list, and another three in your "and I'm willing to lynch" one. That's like half the player base, and he's listed last.
You and I have a very different definition of what "near the top" constitutes.

That's...interesting. What have I walked into?

I was going to say that, he brought up the comment with his commitment to the other game as a poorly communicated way of saying "look, that game has a higher priority and even then I haven't been tending to it, so my inactivity is something out of my control" but then...the next thing he does is go grammar nazi on trent and that was his entire response to him. That's...

What.

It's weird. Seeing scene a perfect player in the Secret Hitler game, and then all of this happens.

So...it seems the deadline hasn't come up yet. Assuming we remain a majority on lynching Fran, I am anxious to see what the end result will be.

I could be wrong, but I thought I hammered.
