Thanks for the smiles!

Roa_Aoife · 03-01-2006, 05:11 PM

The arrow thing was kind of vague. After all, very few people knew of the relationship between THE Ka and Sleepy. To those that did, it was kind of an obvious clue. And I think the last one that obvious that we'll get.

Naria · 03-01-2006, 05:33 PM

I am only going to do this once. I really don't think that anyone should be posting in here to discuss any part of the game till the game is over. Keeping our discussion and theory's until the next DAY in the game.

Thanks

Thinlómien · 03-02-2006, 03:45 AM

You're right, Naria.

Just to inform you, tomorrow-Day I will again appear for the first time some 7 hours before the voting time. So no need to wonder my absence.

littlemanpoet · 03-02-2006, 01:32 PM

Hah! I expected this. I'll take it as a back handed compliment. It was fun while it lasted. I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

Valier · 03-03-2006, 12:56 PM

Thanks for the heads up Oh Mod of awesomeness!! (I can call you that right?)

Sleepy Ranger · 03-03-2006, 02:00 PM

Thank you to the person who neg-repped me.

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...&postcount=716

That dis-proves your statement about no prior statement being made against the mod-god issue.

Sleepy Ranger · 03-03-2006, 02:11 PM

And note to my neg repper- Experimenting a new technique with the players comment. Tell me, what do you have against that?

Valier · 03-03-2006, 02:18 PM

Did anyone stop to think that Mod-God may be offensive to some people. Expecially if it has some thing to do with their R.L beliefs. I'm not saying this is the reason why, but it is something to consider.

Valier · 03-03-2006, 02:22 PM

Yes I do agree with you on this though! I do think it is a bit sudden and harsh. Wonder if the death post will be up soon.........

Sleepy Ranger, when you wake up in the morning, have a drink of water with some lime in it and then come here and apologise. If you insist on pursuing your ludicrous aims, you may find yourself without players. No Werewolf strike has occurred before, but there's always a first time.

And that would be a shame, because I'm rather enjoying this game so far, including the narration...

I said IIRC, which stands for 'if I re-call correctly', which obviously I didn't. And no I am not drunk, I am under the legal drinking age and have not abused the law. Its a shame people can't accept one little request I made...

If you want me to apologize I shall provided I get one for being bashed. Those last few posts were a joke in referal to the last two days of my life, now this here is probably my mistake since I have a weird habit of intetwining my life events into my posts. So here you go, I apologize for the mis-understanding but I am not changing my opinion on mod-god, I do not wish to be called and I've been through a lot in the last two days (quite a lot of which was good but meh, I'm worn out) and the insistence of people to call me such is aggrivating as is your direct attacks at me.

So there you go, I've apologize and even if it was in a 'Simon Cowell-ish' manner it still was an apology.

And Jenny, kindly stop commenting on my neg-rep, that is solely for the neg-repper to respond to if he or she wishes to do so.

Taking Valier's comment into consideration, yes, I do find mod-god offensive as I'm an atheist and do not like to be referred to as god. Yea it would've been easier to state this in the start but meh, I don't usually tell people that I'm an atheist.

Oh and Jenny, I did not directly attack anyone on the issue (The Valesse matter was just a joke with her, feel free to ask her), so technically all I did was post a reminder that I should not be called mod-god.

EDIT: I'm leaving this post up because I believe I'm owed an apology.

Kath · 03-03-2006, 02:23 PM

Just poking my uninvited head in to say please don't let this turn into anything like what just happened on the other werewolf thread.

Sleepy's apologised. Please accept it and leave it from there.

Roa_Aoife · 03-03-2006, 03:42 PM

I've deleted my post, and I apologize to Sleepy. I didn't really mean that as an attack, just a mild jab, and I'm sorry that such an avalanche got rolling from it.

Roa_Aoife · 03-03-2006, 05:01 PM

Also, I would very much like for Sleepy to continue the story as he orginally planned, and I think it's a shame that it might not continue over such a mis-understanding. (I really want to know what those red makrs are about, too.) And I did like the idea of this all becoming a short story. Really, it sounds pretty cool if you think about it.

So, I suggest we vote, and if enough support the idea, maybe Sleepy will continue.

I vote that the original story returns, and that this becomes a real short story.

Right... if theres going to be a vote, lets see, passed by simple majority, all who vote against will NOT be used as a character in the short story and instead a generic character will be picked. You may vote for, against or abstain and the votes by those not in the game will not be counted.

Also for the motion to be accepted I will need Anguirel to offer an apology. And also if the neg-repper wishes (not required to bring back the original format) he or she may reveal their identity. I will not, I repeat, will not take any action against you. I would just like to know who you are.

THE Ka · 03-03-2006, 05:56 PM

If a writer puts to paper a folly, it is of no surprise that his critics will be as well in their judgement.

That is all I wish to say upon the matter, dears.

Well, that's nice and specific, and leaves me with the choices of either ruining everyone's fun because of pride, or being completely insincere. Ah well. Here comes the lesser evil.

I'm sorry. Do short-story-ise it, my gallant chipmunk.

Seeing how you were the only person not to have apologized you were the only person mentioned. Alright now that could be read in two different ways, depending on the tone.

Quote:

Well, that's nice and specific,

Either way this is a complaint at being the only person asked to apologize.

Quote:

and leaves me with the choices of either ruining everyone's fun because of pride, or being completely insincere.

Now here you either refer to your own pride and say that you'd be insincere.
Or you're saying that my reasons to ask you to apologize are pride and insincerity.

Quote:

Ah well. Here comes the lesser evil.

Again, this statement will not change much either way. By this you could mean dumping your pride and apologizing would be a lesser evil.
Or you're saying if you had to choose between apologizid to a proud and insincere person and spoiling everyones fun then you'd pick the former as you see that as the lesser evil.

Quote:

I'm sorry. Do short-story-ise it, my gallant chipmunk.

Now the meaning of this line would change depending on how the rest of the post has been said. If you truly are aplogizing then the 'gallant chipmunk' is obviously a bit of humor.
However, if your post was not intended as a true apology then the last sentence is a massive insult. For not only would it be a mock apology but in slang terms 'chipmunk' stands for arrogant. Of course I doubt anyone would bother using such a subtlety just for an insult but... *shrug*

If you really do apologize then I accept it and believe we should forget the past, this goes to you as well JH, though that may have been a bit of an over-apology.

And you as well Roa.

So then, *raises glass* to a better game!

Note: No, just because the apologies and such have been done does not mean anything will be re-implemented untill a simple majority gives its approval.

Anguirel · 03-04-2006, 04:49 AM

I didn't know there were any connotations to the word chipmunk...I was just trying to reinstate the lighter vein...let's amend it to three-toed sloth...

I figured so, its not really a common expression and the complete meaning is rather obscure but I still am interested in what you meant by the rest of it. Which part of my summary held true?

Anguirel · 03-04-2006, 04:59 AM

The truth was, I was a bit bitter at being singled out, but the insincerity I referred to was my own, not yours.

Worry not, let's be done with emotional chess and slide back into slaughter and revelry.

I've explained myself for signling you out but I agree, let us go back to the awesomeness that is death. I shall go re-write Valier and W_Q's death right now and re-implement the red marks and 13, if the people playing don't want those they may make their voices heard. Really if someone wants to neg-rep me for trying out variations to freshen the game by all means they may do so.

Anguirel I'm sorry for singling you out but you were the only one left, I hadn't a choice but I'm glad we're all willing to put this nonsense behind us and go back to the fun.

What should that be in GMT? I really suggest, we should use GMT in all the questions concerning time. Otherwise it gets quite problematic. As everyone doesn't know everyones' geographical place, one's evening could be others morning... so for the other it is tomorrow, for another it's the same day...

I too will be hindered by RL in couple of days to come. I probably can be in the game at the starting of the gameday, and then sometimes during the day. We'll see...

Eonwe · 03-05-2006, 06:23 PM

Let me say right off, I'm very sorry for being so neglegent in this game. I think I only posted once yesterDay. Spring break is proving to be allot busier than it should be. Hopefully I will be able to get down to the real business of spring break, namely wasting time playing Werewolves with those truely brave souls on the 'Downs.

Roa_Aoife · 03-05-2006, 07:18 PM

Right, I'm going to be traveling most of Monday, so I may not be able to get on untill late. Possibly not untill Tuesday. Sorry!

Sorry about not voting today. RL son's birthday,a little more important than ww. Sorry again folks

Sleepy Ranger · 03-06-2006, 10:00 AM

I may not be able to post the death on time today due to unavoidable reasons so if you don't hear for me till at least half an hour past the start of Day, begin posting.

Since all the gifteds have sent in their pick here is the wolf kill- Naria

Sleepy Ranger · 03-06-2006, 12:39 PM
