Admin thread to WW XXX - Tol-in-Elendili - The Isle of the Were-Faithfuls - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am going to step in and intercede before this gets way out of hand. I do not know exactly what incited these responses, from what I gather there was a rather harsh seeming post in the game thread (which I haven't been following due to a lack of time). I am reminded of past problems over 'styles of play' and remind you all to look at the wonderful post that The Saucepan Man wrote up when he was moderator over the Mirth section. I stand behind what was said and request all parties involved to calm down and remember that this is a game in which we are to have fun not criticize others for the way they play.

I am by no means playing blame on a single source and in my experience it's usually both sides that share some amount, regardless I would recommend that everyone continue to play in the game. I will be deleting the posts previous to this that are about the subject at hand.

Mac, I trust that you will inform me if there are any future problems.

Oh and if people still want to withdraw from the game please post it anew though I would request that you consider the time and effort Mac has put into this game before you do so.

Nogrod · 03-03-2007, 08:45 PM

Not again...

I managed to see some of the posts here scantily as Lommy was using the computer and thence have an idea what it was all about.

Please people! It's a game and games should be enjoyed! They should be fun!

PS. Morm if you think this is inapproppriate, feel free to delete this too. I just felt I needed to say this out aloud even if I see that discussion about this is discouraged (which I duly understand why).

When it was 3 for each, Lalaith, tgwbs and Saucepan, I misread Lalaiths retraction and made it 4 tgwbs, 3 Lalaith and 2 Saucepan instead of 4 Saucepan, 3 Lalaith and 2 tgwbs.

I won't post the things I'm calling myself right now...

Suggestions what to do now?

the guy who be short · 03-04-2007, 03:13 PM

Well, as my role's out, we may as well leave it as me dying, I suppose.

P.s. Don't sweat. As Hookbill said, we all make mistakes. Have a jelly baby, if one is near you.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-04-2007, 03:25 PM

Well, I have just arrived - I apologize for missing this day but I had no idea I wouldn't get back home at all, as I had to help with some things to friends. Seems I missed quite a lot.

Well as tgwbs is revealed you can't put him back to the game and any compensations would be pretty unfair (putting in a new Faithful or something).

I guess we just have to accept that the modfire burnt tgwbs for his inexcrutable reasons and the problem for the villagers remain whether Spm is a duck or a dove...

I don't see any other viable alternative right now which would not be unfair as well.

Lalaith · 03-04-2007, 03:16 PM

I'm really sorry for that messy retraction. You can blame me if you like. Pelt me with jellybabies.

Mithalwen · 03-04-2007, 03:18 PM

Given that so many ordos have fallen by the wayside..it may just have made things fairer - but not for TGWBS of course...

Mänwe · 03-04-2007, 03:21 PM

I believe it would be a possible quadruple killing seeing as I believe I have now missed two voting sessions. Even if I didn't withdraw. Sheer carnage!

the guy who be short · 03-04-2007, 03:23 PM

Could the porcupines get Manwe too?

I can see this as an interesting scene. An invasion of giant porcupines, forcing villagers and Faithful to come together temporarily to fend them off. Manwe and I die defending the village... Seems good to me.

Mithalwen · 03-04-2007, 03:23 PM

We have now 11 players 2 gifted 3 wolves. While I have been gunning to lynch SPM and Lal... I think we should leave things and just carry on.....

the guy who be short · 03-04-2007, 03:18 PM

I agree ^ I was heading for a lynch anyway.

Though seeing as I wasn't technically lynched, can I have a weird, interesting death scene as compensation? Involving giant amphibious porcupines?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-04-2007, 03:16 PM

Well, although it obviously favours me, I can't see any alternative to sticking with the position as it is, namely that TGWBS gets lynched.

Either that or all three of us get lynched in a dramatic triple lynching.

Durelin · 03-04-2007, 03:18 PM

Still doesn't beat the quadruple lynch in my game, so I have no qualms about seeing three times the death and destruction.

Edit: Haha, cross posting on the admin thread!

Lalaith · 03-04-2007, 03:19 PM

Well I don't mind either, if that's what Mac decides is fairest. We can all face death by jellybaby.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-04-2007, 03:21 PM

Well, it was only a light-hearted suggestion, but I would not object, if Mac decides that is best.

the guy who be short · 03-04-2007, 03:21 PM

Just to be clear, I was agreeing to just killing me off. It seems unfair to kill a quarter of the village on my behalf.

Macalaure · 03-04-2007, 03:23 PM

Well, since the role is revealed, I obviously can't put Jay back in. Lalaith has offered me to be killed alongside him (and somebody else whose identity will remain confidential suggested this, too), but I don't think that would be a good solution.

A triple lynch would be spectacular, but it would be spectacle only due to mod incompetence.

I think I'm going to let it be as it is now.

I'm so sorry, Jay.

edit: crossed with a lot.
