Admin Thread for WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Brinniel]

Ehm, guys remember this is just a game, so don't let things get too heated. The whole purpose of this is to have fun, and getting too worked up will only result in hurt feelings and ruin the game for everyone else. So please keep in check what you say and not let it get personal. Any issues or hurt feelings should be resolved through PM. I'm too tired to deal with any unnecessary problems and I just want this to be a good experience for everyone. I'm sure other players will agree.

Rikae, please don't leave - you know everybody gets heated here from time to time and people don't tend to deliberately insult anyone. It would be shame if you dropped out because I really enjoy playing with you.

Seconded. I missed the last 15 minutes or so before DL, but I want to say I certainly meant nothing personal by anything I said, and I'm sorry if that was the appearance.
I will explain my responses in more detail in the main thread when it reopens.

[Rikae]

Thanks, Lommy! I decided I'll stick around.

Don't worry Inzil, it's not about anything you said.

I fell asleep on Salmon (that's what I call my very comfy couch, so I'm not saying I slept on a bed of fish ) watching a game, and that's why I missed the last coupe hours of the DL.

Rikae I second Lommy, don't leave. Although I would be a bit of a hypocrit if I didn't say, it's just a game afterall and not all that important, but that doesn't mean we still won't be sad if you left.

Gwath, I know how you feel, and truly understand your reaction, if you wouldn't mind, after the game I would like to send you a PM.

Edit: crosse with Rikae...Yay!

I understand how frustrated people can get in WW (so often I am that frustrated person ) and I think that this perhaps is a particularly frustrating game since there are so many unknowns and the only clues are peoples "attitude" or way of speaking and there is consequently a risk things can seem more personal. Also with the role play it is perhaps harder to phrase things so it criticises the behaviour.

I do remember I gravely offended someone for saying something they did was stupid - I never intended to mean that they were stupid, only the action, IMO, in the context of the game - an important distinction that it is easy to lose. It is just a game but there is still the possibility of sports injuries!

[Gwathagor]

Gee I'm an *** sometimes. Especially when I act first and think later. Sorry everyone. Sorry Rikae!


Oh looks like I can't say that word. Well, it's still true.

[Brinniel]

I understand how it is as I've had my own feelings hurt in a game before. It's just important to remember that no one around here intends to offend anyone, but it's easy to rub someone the wrong way without meaning to. One of the disadvantages about forums is that tone can be interpreted entirely different in the written word than what tone perhaps the writer intended to use, which I've noticed has often resulted in hurt feelings.

Continuing on, I'm just letting you know the Day will start a bit late toDay. I didn't return home from work until after nine, which put me a bit behind on narrations. I'm still writing yesterDay's. Depending on how fast I can get this done, I may perhaps start the Day without the narration and add it later since I don't want to start the Day too late.

Also, wilwa has informed me that she's dropping out of the game, so she will be mod-fired at the Day's beginning. Like anyone else, she'll be ghosted and is welcome to return to the game and post later on if she is so able.
