You are a bad, selfish person, and for selfish personal reasons you needlessly messed this game up. (in spite of that, the town did pretty well for itself the first three days, big props to eveyone who helped with that since I know I was worthless, but sometimes that's the game) I know you're probably going to try to vindicate yourself because you happened to be right, like a newbie that fakeclaims a cop guilty and gets it right, but that's not an acceptable thing to do and neither is what you did because while you were right you were right on luck and luck alone (and on favorable odds, to boot) which makes you worse than someone who fakes a cop report because you had no basis for it. You can't claim it generated useful reactions, because most of the scumhunting that people accomplished was by ignoring it. It didn't contribute to the lynch of the scum player you randomly guessed. It caused me to out my role earlier than was necessary. It caused you to get mislynched, when you had every opportunity to retract your claim, and people were willing to give you that leeway even several days into the game. Somehow you tried to blame other people for not realizing that in a game where you are supposed to kill the liars, you made up a lie for your own contentment and refused to admit it when people called your bluff.
Now, all that is terrible and bad and stupid, but what gets me is the reason you did this. You did it because
you wanted to policy lynch the players you named.
And I'm pretty upset you would ever think that's an okay thing to do, because it's incredibly immature and I thought you took this game seriously, but I guess I need to work on my reads. Not liking the way someone plays is one thing. Claiming confirmed role info that suggests they should be lynched sooner rather than later is another thing entirely. And I'm galled you kept up the charade after I showed I had every intention of playing the game seriously, and Izzy was trying, and chesskid replaced out.
You kept up a bluff based on wanting to policy lynch players after one of those slots was replaced.
That is FUCKED UP, and it cannot be described any other way. And who were the people that replaced that slot? MattP and Tammy, both fine players who did absolutely nothing to warrant your harassment. Yes, they replaced a scum slot, but that
doesn't even matter because your guilty on them was based on a lie.
There is no way you can rationalize that being acceptable. But really what I can't get over is how you put me in that list. At the time this game started, I had three completed games on-site (i believe, i don't remember as it's been a long time). None of these games were with you. In every one of those games I was exemplary and played to win. You had absolutely no rational basis for wanting to lynch me. Your knowledge of me is derived entirely from F62, the forum for discussion with less moderation. I know that on there I trolled you and made fun of you at times because I disliked the attitude you display there and felt it was fun to poke at your irrational hatred of epicmafia (a site I no longer played on at the time). To me, that was all just messing around and I didn't take it seriously, but I guess you did. You took a grudge from out of game, and brought it into a game, for your own personal satisfaction. You mock the userbase of epicmafia for being childish, but most of them are mature enough to not disrupt games with their grudges.
And here's the thing: I believed what you said. I defended you. Because regardless of all the trolling, I thought you were adult enough to not let that influence your mindset in a game. Even as half the players in the game (rightly) called BS on what you were doing, I believed you were telling the truth until you stretched things past the point of credibility because you knew you were lying but refused to admit it. Because I believed you had integrity. Because I thought you cared about this stupid game you spend so much time on. Because regardless of the trolling, I thought you were a respectable player and I had every intention of respecting you.
I expected better of you.
MoI, you are a bad person. I'm not going to pretend to know why that's the case, but I hope that one day you realize your faults and you change them or you're going to keep alienating people. And I hope you take the time to actually think about the stuff you post and how it affects other people, and maybe grow up a little. Unless you change, though, I'm not joining any games you play in nor will you ever be allowed to sign up for any game I moderate.
