Ha, ha, Boro!

I know what you mean. We were spoiled by those extra long Days. As today was wrapping up I was thinking no, no, it can't be over already!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-07-2009, 01:01 PM

I would have voted Mith as my rep.

A game of Mafia I played once had a Day 1 deadline of six weeks.

The moddess has decided .. the judgement will be posted on the game thread.

Mith, we in no way intended to upset or hurt you. What we did we intended as a silly joke! Just something to make you laugh when you opened the thread. Did you play in that game where Bethberry randomly popped up as a cameo and some people jokingly voted for her? That was the idea behind this. It wasn't a plot to derail the game, it wasn't a plan to ruin it, the fact that we were talking together had no bearing on the outcome of the game because nobody mentioned a role.

Basically, this genuinely wasn't deliberately malicious at all. Had we known it would upset you we would never, never have done it.

Mithalwen · 01-11-2009, 11:41 AM

it is the off thread discussion - as well as the specific ban that make this situation untenable. It is so grossly unfair on tho others. Now I kniow it was premeditated I thinkIeither have to mod fire the lot of youor pull the plug onteh game. It breaks the trust that surrounds the game.

At least Bethberry was actually there and I took the consequence of my vote for her in Fea's mystery game.

I have spent literally years thinking about this game and now it is all it tatters.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-11-2009, 11:54 AM

You should know that the only werewolf discussion in that chat was about games in the past. Nostalgic reminiscing about the first time we were wolves, or 'Do you remember that time that-?' or 'Do you remember the gae when-?". The idea to vote Legate came after no discussion of the current game apart from, "Wow, half of the village is in this chat right now." Most of our conversation actually centered around trying to convince the phantom that Shasta was Lari, and discussions of fortune cookies.

We did not discuss this game at all in terms of mechanics, roles, or strategies because the game is in play.

The vote for Legate was a silly prank which we hoped would bring about laughs, but it had no basis in the structure or play of this game.

I do hope that you decide to let us continue, as the joke was in no way intended to mock or hurt anybody, especially you, and because the discussion of the build up to the joke did not violate game rules.

If any one person must take the blame for the actions of others, let it be me. I will be no loss, and mine was the last word that determined the decision to go ahead with the scheme.

They hadn't decided on anything until I arrived.

If nothing else, please don't allow our foolishness to ruin the game for those who were not involved in it. The phantom, for instance, was not part of the plan, and posted after we did. He should therefore not be held accountable for our actions.

Please forgive us the hurt we have caused you, and please understand that it was not intended to in any way cause you to believe that we would break the rules of your game, or that we would try to intentionally throw it off track.

Kath · 01-11-2009, 11:55 AM

Mith I am truly sorry that this has upset you, please hold on to the fact that it was never our intention to do so. It was a joke, a silly joke - no trust has been broken because we didn't mention the actual game, the roles, the rules, the players, none of it. I can PM you the entire IM discussion if you would like and you will see that at no point did we do anything to alter the fundamental idea of the game that everyone has to work things out for themselves.

We never, never intended to mess up your game, it truly was just supposed to be something silly to make you laugh.

satansaloser2005 · 01-11-2009, 12:00 PM

Again, I apologize if we've upset you. As Fea and Kath said, at no point did we discuss the game amongst ourselves (except when we planned our little stunt) and I also would be happy to PM (or e-mail, or whatever you prefer) you the entire discussion so you can see what transpired.

Lariren Shadow · 01-11-2009, 12:06 PM

I'm truly sorry for this

. I never meant anything by voting that way. I wasn't really part of the conversation(as in participating with my own screen name) but I was there with Fea. Nothing came up about roles came up at all. It really was a sort of "why isn't Legate playing...let's vote him off for fun! That should be laugh worthy!" nothing more than that. Well and Shasta was pretending to be me.
