There's not much to add to the explanation than what's already been said. But I do want to extend my apologies. Surely you know that none of us ever intended to hurt or offend you or any of the players that weren't involved. I hate the idea that I have hurt someone and it makes me tearful to know that I have.
I understand perfectly if you do choose to modfire all of us. It's ultimately your decision and we deserve whatever you think is fair. However, I do request that you at least keep
Lariren in the game. She wasn't part of the chat itself (only simply watching it) and was encouraged by all of us to take part. I'd hate to see her kicked out of her first game because of us. And of course,
the phantom must stay; he had nothing to do with this.
I hate to think your game completely destroyed,
Mith, and if modfiring all of us will make things even worse, then I hope you will consider otherwise. And I most certainly hope you choose to stay the mod as you have done a wonderful job so far and no one else could do you justice. If you wish to see at least someone modfired, I'll happily remove myself from the game. I feel rather guilty, especially since I invited everyone into the chat in the first place. I never intended for us to discuss WW; I simply wanted to revive the earlier days when I used to chat with several BDers at once. But obviously, things got out of hand. It's apparent now that BDers probably shouldn't be involved in any sort of IM with one another during a WW game as only bad things seem to come from it. After this disaster, I don't think I can bring myself to do anymore chatting anytime soon. And I'm seriously considering abstaining from future WW games as well, I feel so awful.
I could say sorry a hundred more times, but I don't think the words could even begin to express how I truly feel.
