If you don't like the wagon on you, then do something about it. "Protesting" is asinine and doesn't do anything to help the town. If you really feel that we are somehow being "unfair" then realize that this is a game, and sometimes "unfair" things happen.

I think it's pretty clear Starbuck is tunneling and taking a something silly(me voting for the same reason she did) out of proportion. It was totally a coincedence. The only thing I'm guilty of is not reading every post. A lot of people seem willing to lynch someone over that, and it's quite disturbing.Brandi wrote:If you don't like the wagon on you, then do something about it.

You clearly have no interest in discussion, just pointing fingers and making accusations. That's why I left the game. You can think whatever you want.Starbuck wrote:I'm definitely not tunneling. I have focused on others as well, but you are acting immature and rude to everyone else in this game. And your appeals to emotion really aren't helping your case with me which is why my vote hasn't moved.
And I'm not taking what you did out of proportion. It's how you reacted to the situation. You straight up left the game and said that you weren't coming back until the lynch was off you. Now, in my eyes, that means I just caught scum.
This is bullshit. If stuff like this was constantly being directed at me I wouldn't feel much like playing either.Starbuck wrote:I'm definitely not tunneling.

How does protesting by not posting help the town? Anyone with sense knows that doing that is anti-information.MonkeyMan576 wrote:I am here. I am choosing not to respond in protest, which is what I originally said.

I think you misinterpreted Starbuck as talking to you instead of MonkeyMan576.chamber wrote:This is bullshit.

This is beyond hypocritical coming from the person who refuses to engage in discussion. YOU clearly have no interest in discussion if you are just going to disappear and wait for other to change the subject for you.MonkeyMan576 wrote:You clearly have no interest in discussion, just pointing fingers and making accusations.

Quoted for truth. I know it's only page five, but the more talk I see about MonkeyMan576 being scum for disappearing until the wagon on him goes away, the more I think we've hit the jackpot on scum.semioldguy wrote:This is beyond hypocritical coming from the person who refuses to engage in discussion.

If you had an interest in discussion, then you could have taken the discussion somewhere else instead of siting by idly and doing nothing except complain.
I agree that feeling discouraged or even possibly wronged (if he is town) is understandable. But his ACTIONS because of such are NOT. He signed up for this game, to play it, and regardless of his alignment, he is expected to play in this game. Not sit on the sidelines of the game and cry like a 6 year old feeling sorry for himself. If he can't handle it, he should at least have the decency to ask for a replacement. SOG is being spot-on in calling him a hypocrite.chamber wrote:You guys are being ridiculous. Could he handle it better then he is ? Yes. Is his reaction completely understandable anyway? Yes.
I would much prefer your stance, giving pause, to blindly following Starbuck, which is what some are doing. And I never said I would refuse to participate, I just wanted a chance to protest Starbuck without everything I did being attacked.Jazzmyn wrote:Well, crap. I was out of town yesterday and hoped to catch up early this morning at the office, but this site is now blocked at my workplace. This is quite an annoyance, because I have always liked to use my break time and/or lunch time to read my ongoing games in order to stay up to date on the posts, even thoughpostingfrom work to game sites is frowned upon, and I have very rarely done it. But now, the site is entirely blocked and I can't even read the games during the day. Crap.
Anyway, I am very surprised that Monkey decided to sit out the game "in protest" over the votes and attention on him. That strikes me as rather bizarre, and it certainly is not pro-town to unilaterally remove oneself from the game (i.e., withoutactuallyremoving oneself from the game by asking to be replaced) just because one is affronted by accusations and/or votes in a Mafia game. This is not the Snugglenet.
As I said previously, I saw the whole Starbuck/Monkey exchange as a bit of a tempest in a teacup, but this extreme reaction (over-reaction) by Monkey really gives me pause.
Gorrad: I don't understand your vote on Brandi, as you seem to be voting for her for agreeing with Kmd, and yet you give Kmd a pass. That doesn't really make sense to me. Can you please explain the rationale behind that?
Kmd: In your post #62, you said that Monkey is probably scum, but you are currently voting for Gorrad. Is there more to Gorrad that you see that I may be missing?

Jazz
