You're neither cute nor clever.
And you had better not be scum, because that would be a modkillable offense, attempting to manipulate the mod to further your win con.
How would me asking for you to be force replaced because you can't stop bickering and browbeating and instigating fights help anyone's win con? We would be rid of your horrible attitude and instigation that makes people uncomfortable and not want to play, and presumably someone much less prone to behaving boorishly would take your slot. That impacts whose wincon exactly?
Implicit in your statement is that you are town, and you also seem to be implying that I asked for you to be modkilled, which is not at all what I asked. What if you are scum? Would me asking for you to be modkilled for your abuse of other players and you being scum be a modkillable offense because it furthered my wincon?
First you browbeat anyone who dares to disagree or question you. Then you call someone who is ostensibly a good friend of yours who came with you from another site to here stupid, but in a more polite way using the word "dense", then you pretend that someone trying to make your supposed good friend feel better is actually the one insulting her, and carry on instigating a bunch of nastiness for a few pages, and now that I've finally grown tired enough of it to call you out, you want to use the situation to try and plant the implication that you're town and I'm scum into the game?
Seriously?
How about you just admit you were angry or frustrated or whatever caused you to start abusing people for no particular reason, and give a blanket apology, and if you get frustrated or angry you find some outlet for it that isn't into a game that's supposed to be fun for the rest of us, and then we can shake hands and move on? There's simply no need in this game for you to tee off on people. The way to handle frustration in mafia is so simple it's ridiculous that it's even a problem: attack the play, not the player. Feel free to rip apart points I make or cases I make (or anyone else, for that matter). As long as you don't tee off on the people themselves, there's no problem.
I'm super disappointed that you keep escalating. All you ever had to do at any point along the way was admit that you screwed up, drop an apology, and move on. It takes a ridiculous amount of bullshit before I feel the need to ask the mod to step in and do something. In fact, in over 8 years of playing forum mafia, I believe this is only the second time I've been so flabbergasted by how outrageous someone was acting that I felt the need to ask the mod to do anything at all.
If you wanna be civil and stop with the bullshit, I'm all for it, and I'll happily drop my request. If you want to keep escalating because (presumably) your pride won't allow you to admit the obvious truth that you were in the wrong to go after people and instigate crap ... I seriously don't know what to say. I wasn't making empty chatter earlier when I said I admired your approach to the game and enjoyed playing with you. I don't enjoy seeing people abused intentionally; however, and it doesn't matter how much I like the person doing the abusing.
I'm extending an olive branch and I most sincerely ask you to go do whatever you need to do to calm down and think about things and come back and take it so we can move on and have fun playing mafia. It only takes one person to cause fights and drama, but it takes two to make peace. I can't do it alone.
