This thread is to keep from hijacking the main day thread any further. Let us continue the discussion here. ;D
Do you agree that Idle Thoughts' request to be mod-killed was poor form?
What else isn't against the rules, but against the spirit of the game?

I think that lurking is against the spirit of the game. If you can't post between 3 and 5 times a Day minimum, you should sub out.
And frankly the way this game is going, you should really be closer to 10 times a Day if you want what you have to say to be relevant.

Mal, would you please modkill Auto for that? Now, now... Auto shouldn't be mod-killed for that. He should be mod killed just for being Auto. psst... I made a side thread for this so we can keep playing in here.

Okay, since I haven't really added anything here, even though I posted it:
1) Obviously, I don't like the idea of a mod-kill for any reason other than rebalancing after certain specific issues.
2) I think fake real-life excuses are against the spirit too.
3) I think a certain degree of lurking is within the spirit of the game (not everyone has to post 50+ times a Day), but there's a fine line between lurking and not participating. I think not participating includes just as much things like a having a "regular" post count, but with lots of contentless, inflationary posts like "me too", etc.
4) Also, like what came up in M3, I think any meta-game things deliberately asking rule questions to look more pro-crew. It's one thing to ask for a rules questions that everyone is wondering (like most of the ones that were asked recently), but if someone is deliberately feigning ignorance by asking a question that a pirate "should" know the answer to, outside of a PM just feels... icky. When in doubt, make the rule question a PM. I just don't like the idea of something legitimately not having to do with the play being used as reason for or against suspicion.

No no... it's fine if you don't understand rules... we've all been confused because these are some complicated rules. However, I simply think it's good form to make something that's an honest question, that might be misconstrued as evidence for or against them, should be in PM. I don't remember what the exact questions were (and I'm not trying to make him look bad, because it obviously wasn't his intent), but there were rule questions that Diggit asked in M3 (and I don't remember what they were off of the top of my head) that, were they asked to intentionally look town, I would have thought that was against the spirit. That is, I think if a question is directly relevant to the conversation (like with a lot of the rule clarifications Today), it's okay, because it's a question that's obviously going to be asked and it's obvious who was going to ask it. However, if it's something not directly relevant to the conversation, where the identity of the asker could incorrectly sway their suspicion, I just think it's better to PM. ...I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job explaining it...

You're doing fine, Blaster. It wasn't 'til Rachm mentioned it (in explicit detail) that I saw what I was doing. And since then, I have asked all my ruling questions via PM. And I think that should be expanded to a rule: any questions about rules, no matter how easy or how complex they are should be asked via PM. It's up to the moderator to decide whether the answer should be sent to all other players.

One last thing: I don't know about the rest of you but I hate, hate being misquoted and/or quoted out of context. If anyone does that I'll do my best/won't rest 'til the miscreant is keelhauled and drawn and quartered.
M3 Players, you know what I mean.

But, especially if you're dead, and they can get away with it without anyone back-checking... shame on the crew for letting the scum pull that off.

Bah... You'll be dead eventually, and you can rub it in everyone's faces then. It just seems a little silly to want to die now. It would be like hating your parents so much for pushing you to succeed and "make something of yourself" that you deliberately destroy your life just to "prove them wrong". ...okay, maybe that's a bit of an extreme example. But seriously, for most crewmen, we're eventually going to get wrongly accused and even perhaps set up, by scum, in a nearly unescapable way (does the SCL lynching in M3 ring a bell ). Everyone who took part it in had to eat crow. Of course it's an emotional game, and you'll get frustrated or upset or anxiou or whatever... but remember it's JUST a game

In general I dislike cheats. Intensely.
For Game III, blastermaster, stop metagaming. It is not only bad form it is about what I would expect from the scum/certain players in MIII (I have a very large flame post ready for certain players the second I get out of that game).
I would suggest leaving discussion of MIII out of this thread, at least until its over.

I would suggest leaving discussion of MIII out of this thread, at least until its over. What do you consider cheats? If you have a flame ready? Are you really that upset? As far as M3, the comment about SCL was just intended as a friendly jab and reminder to NOT take this so seriously; and the one about the questions Diggit asked were simply as an example (as you'll recall, I mentioned it in THAT thread as well). I am paying careful attention to what I say to not accidently give anything away that would taint the game any more than it already has. That said, if my in-game or out-of-game actions bother you enough that you have written a flaming post, I'd rather handle it privately so that I can explain and, if necessary, apologize. I would hope you'd do the same for anyone else who has ignited your exasperation from the game. I had no idea you were so upset.

And with zuma's final post, I'll go ahead and say it again. His insults towards me on Day Three are damn bad sportsmanship.

I'm guessing me, probably, since I knew info I shouldn't. : p Although how that applies to what she was talking about here and now, meta-gamewise, I have no idea.
Plus, well, I already know I should have subbed out and feel bad about it. : /

Pfft. It was me. Even though I said in that PM and the next that I feel I should have been and it was what was fair to everyone else...I also expressed interest, if there was any possible way, to stay in. Really, I should have insisted on it instead of mentioning the latter part at all.
But no matter...we'll both probably go to our graves thinking it was our own faults. Hahah.
In the end, it's just a game and mistakes/accidents happen. Although I do hope, if what she has planned is toward me or regarding me, that she reads that one really long post/confession I made in the forbidden thread on there (the MIII one) first to see how bad I already feel about it.
