SilverWolf is being force replaced. If a replacement is not found within 48 hours, she will be modkilled. The thread will be locked while a replacement is sought. Do not discuss this as any indication of her alignment.
I'm explaining these actions without the color red because the explanation is long enough. I've been sitting on the sidelines for most of the game, just doing votecounts, interacting with the dead and advising ika on any issues that have came up. There have been a few. I probably should have written a message sooner but I've treated this as ika's games and sat on the sidelines. These decisions are our decisions. I'm just explaining them.
Elusive is being modkilled for discussing ongoing games. Her last post before the thread was locked was a discussion of ongoing games. That cannot be done even if the readers can or do mistake the game to which you are referring. If the game is ongoing, you cannot discuss it. Period. There's a thread defining what is allowed. It is
here.. If you have any questions or ambiguities, let me know. Considering discussing ongoing games is a mandatory modkill, we do not discuss any abusive conduct elusive may or may not have done since it is unnecessary. There's already a modkillable offense and you can't really modkill twice so there's zero point for a mod to engage in a theoretical exercise that's only going to lead to hurt feelings. Maybe the listmods will take further action, but that is up to them.
SilverWolf is being force replaced for her conduct insulting other players but if no replacement can be found, she will be modkilled as well. Her conduct was not as grievous insinuating a player has a low IQ or is generally retarded, which is why NakedJogger was modkilled. I was almost declared retarded so I find such insults particularly harmful. SW just called a player a bitch repeatedly. That can happen in heated conversation both in mafiascum and in the real world. However, doing this repeatedly is not conducive to a safe mafiascum environment. We are here to play a game. The game is sometimes antagonistic. Players can act bitchy but you don't call them a bitch outside of the game. Given that SW has been warned about this conduct in the past, we could have modkilled the slot. However, her insults were not as severe as NakedJogger and that does deserve to be taken into account. They could not go without consequence however, especially because of the fact the drama notices have been given in the game. The deadline to replace SilverWolf will be strictly enforced. It is even one minute over the deadline I set forth, SW will be modkilled and the replacement denied.
I saw at least one or two requests for mod interference in the thread. This is in poor taste. If you think a rule has been broken, PM us. These discussions are best handled privately. Any requests to have a mod take action in the thread will be ignored. Repeatedly asking in thread will result in a penalty for your side or a boon to your opposition(s). All moderator decisions are private but fair.
ika was ready to pull the old "rocks fall everyone dies" but that's not cool either to those players who have been well behaved.
This decision is final barring some sort of interference from the list mods stating we must take a harsher punishment. Do not PM them. They are aware of this game already and what is happening.
If you have any questions regarding the rules, you are welcome to PM me. If you feel that this decision was unfair, please save it for the post game. This decision was not made lightly at all.
Thank each and every one of you for playing. I'm sorry to have to take these actions, but I did not feel like we had a choice.
