ATTENTION:
Alright, everyone, here's the deal, just so everyone now knows what has been going on because I feel it would benefit to put everything into perspective. There has been A LOT going on behind the scenes this game due to separate independent incidents and the hosts and I have tried our best to deal with all these situations.
I would very much appreciate it if everyone read all of this.
To summarize, at some time there occurred a host error that resulted in a baddie team feeling that they were unfairly denied their chance for everything to play out and for them to secure victory. Additionally, as I am sure all of you can recognize and agree, this game is complex -- with all its secrets and all of the failed lynches and NKs -- and consequently, sometimes things don't work out the way that players are really hoping and strategizing for them to. As a result of these, there was an incident when someone acted a bit in frustration but also without foresight in the thread regarding this matter. While that person had absolutely no intention or thought of offense, it caused some serious offense, and I tried to deal with it properly by listening to all sides involved. The hosts have been busy and were was not exactly sure how to resolve the situation and asked for my advice. I had players venting at me in every which way, so I stepped up and just made a decision to try to best appease to everyone given ALL facts of what has occurred throughout the game at that time. I spent, no exaggeration, hours behind the scenes dealing with all parties affected by not only what occurred in thread that upset some parties but also the fact that a baddie team felt that, at that time, frustrated and wanted to be remedied. However, I felt that the situation was adequately resolved after I let the main two individuals involved in that situation vent to me regarding the matter, and no one even indirectly affected by this remedy of whom I made aware of it consulted me regarding it.
Because all teams have played such an impeccable game and this has come down to the wire, the game has become especially heated. Now we seem to have another incident with an individual, again, frustrated because that person feels that victory is impossible to reach now, decided to make a proposal in thread that has caused some uproar, upset, and disagreement as to whether it is fair or not. This person has sent a PM to the hosts explaining the reasoning behind the decision and has resigned to their judgment on the matter whether it is fair or not. If it is fair or unfair, the appropriate decision will be made, but at the discretion of the hosts, who are busy and have not had chance to weigh in on this matter just yet. It is unfair for me to make a unilateral decision on this matter because it is not my game to run. Because I am the Mod on Duty, I am more of an acting arbitrator and assistant to the hosts in this game, but because of the wealth and extremity of situations that have come to arise throughout this game, my role has at times had to step up from what it otherwise should be in order to best assist the hosts and ensure that all of you players have the fair and enjoyable experience that you all signed up for, and so fairly deserve because you've made a commitment and invested your time and effort into this venture.
Because I feel all of these outbreaks in this game have arisen as a result of everyone not knowing everything going on and because players perhaps don't understand the exact train of thought of others and why they, in the moment, acted the way they did or think the way they do regarding any situation or how any situation has been handled throughout any point in the game, I am proposing a more than thorough discussion at endgame. Of course, usually these things happen at the endgame discussion, but I feel it is especially healthy and beneficial for absolutely anyone and everyone in this game to be able to voice 100% of everything they feel regarding the first incident, this baddie outing incident, or absolutely anything. After such a discussion where everyone is able to express their thoughts and feelings behind why they acted how they did, I am sure it will be recognized that we are all among friends, that none of us meant absolutely any offense, and that we all are but actors in the play of what Rox and bea have so graciously and impressively concocted as the play of Grimm's Fairly Tales.
Consequently, let's please refrain from the heated discussion as to whether we agree, disagree, or whatever with the current or any other incident, see what the hosts have to mandate and what they believe is the best way to go from here and resolve the matter, and continue playing the game.
The hosts deserve a hand for crafting such an excellent game and all of you players all do for playing such an excellent game, so let's keep that in mind. I think some stars should be thrown in celebration all around because of all the excellence going around here.
Account fail. Oh well, it doesn't matter at this point.
