Why the hell did I watch that? Here I am innocently lurking an MD thread looking for new ways to catch scum and then I go 'Oh my! Vi posted a link! I should click it!' and then boom I get blasted in the faise with some weird screamo-rap shit which made my face go static for a full four minutes.

I hate you Vi. I want my four minutes back. D=<.
It's nice to see the daykill worked on someone, if not the intended target. :D
But do you want your face back too, or just the four minutes?

My music exchange partner sent that one to me with a warning about how it was probably the worst collection of simultaneous noises he's ever heard people call "music". Of
course
I had to share. (And the fourteen-year-old girls eat that stuff up, believe it or not)

All that being said, I'm considering playing one more normal game before heading off into semi-retirement land.

@ Zach: I almost got away with a playing break once. Only got sucked back in because I replaced in for someone as a favor.

I'm probably going to quit, at least temporarily, after the game I'm in wraps up. The game before this one was one of those "almost-unwinnable-for-town" games and I was in overdrive the entire game trying to fight that only to watch it all fall apart the moment I got nightkilled. Now I feel like the hard work I normally put into games is pretty damn useless, completely demoralized. I probably WILL come back eventually, maybe in late December or so around my 1-year.

On a side note, you guys on this site are unforgiving and scary and that doesn't help :(

I've been tempted a couple times this week, since I'm at a low ebb stuff to do wise, but every time I feel like this, I just think of one or two of the VIs I've been subjected to over the course of my time here, think 'Do I really want to put myself through this' with regard to the process of ascertaining which of the four people in an average game who appear to be trying to ruin it IS trying to ruin it, which is scum, and which ones are just so dense they don't know any better, and come to the conclusion that just to *headdesk* a few times would adequately replicate the experience less stressfully.

Might mod a newbie game or something, mind.

Considering retiring completely, coming back to play is giving me no joy whatsoever. People are proud to be VIs, people yell hurtfully all the time. There isn't passion anymore, just hate.

I honestly wanted to go out on a bang, but I may come back for PEGBAM and thats it.

It's nice to see a recurring theme in these posts, especially when I made one of them.
Maybe people will get the hint.

Vetting the playerlist is essential. If enough of them are good players, it's likely you'll have fun by teaming up/mindstorming with at least a couple of them. 1 bad case of idiotism plus 2-3 milder cases of VI rarely suffices to destroy the game, a couple of VIs often help with creating initial scatterplots of reactions. Form a band of obvtown and have fun steamrolling/PoEing through the rest.
Careful with non-invitational larges (especially themes) - hardest game type to find that isn't dominated by mindless yelling/a too large percentage of VIs starting or replacing in.
