It's my first game, so maybe my expectations were too high, but the number of people who are just bailing or flaking or disappearing or being right there but not playing their roles is making me nuts.
NUTS!
Goddamned Pod People replacing forum members grumble grumble grumble.

Yeah, I don't want to speak ill of domebo, what with being newly re-elected management and all, but I would mosey on over to Giraffe's place for the next mafia game if you don't want to join us here.

Giraffe has been going well, and it seems more friendly. I'm disappointed by the non participation on domebo as well.
Your game itself seems very well designed, julie, and it's one that can be run multiple times, I'd suggest you get in the next lottery and try it on Giraffe.

I think my experience might be bad enough that I don't try again.
It sucks because my brother and I were coming up with a sweet terrorism-themed game. Um, if a terrorism-themed anything can be considered "sweet."

Um, if a terrorism-themed anything can be considered "sweet." Julie...My first modding experience was not pleasant at all. I won't give all the gory details but, well the players kind of exploded on each other...it was bad. A number of people here were very nice and told me not to let one bad experience with modding ruin it for you. So, I'm going to say...take some time and come back to it...think of it this way, you've already experienced worst case scenario.

I'd like some of the players to explode. Does that count? I've had two players send me nasty messages saying I was a shitty, narrow-minded, horrible mod. That sort of explode?

That's just wrong. Even if they don't like your game, there's no reason to take it out on you. I haven't seen you do one thing wrong in modding your game. I'd have to assume these were new players who didn't understand the concept of the game itself. Did they want you to change the game to suit them? How can a mod be narrow minded? It's even an open set-up for goodness sake. They have to know what's to be expected. on Facebook, where Mitey had first modded, we get players who take the game less seriously and think themselves brilliant. They cannot handle being wrong, and so, become belligerent and rude when confronted. (OTOH, I'm just belligerent and rude to start with, it has nothing to due with my brilliance) Don't worry about it. It's not you, it's them.

Yeah, it was pretty much out of the blue and I should be over it, but it soured me. I can't claim it didn't bother me a lot.

I stopped following the game about half way through Day1 (it's hard to stay interesting in watching without anyone to talk to) but there isn't a damn thing you could possibly have done to provoke that sort of reaction. Really, it shouldn't be like that. Moding should be a fun experience, give it another go with a better crowd.

I haven't following the Pod People game at all, but I can't think of anything a mod could do that would justify that sort of PM. Not even deliberately lying to the players and deleting their posts and posting the list of power roles on the scum board and the list of scum roles on the Mason board.
Er...you didn't do that, did you?

Yeah, I can't imagine anything that would justify this. If you think you like modding, don't let a single bad experience stop you. Come 'round these parts and let us abuse you, we'll give you something to quit about.

Um, of course, if anyone wants to sub in I really need a player or two. Now that I've made it look so appealing.

I'll take a look at the game and see if I want in, since I'm dead in both my games.

That's inexplicable and wrong. Hey I'm enjoying it for what that is worth, except for that belligerent special ed guy The set up is great - although I think it does inherently lead to a very quite first few days I suppose too much discussion of that is not a good idea right now.

I feel your pain...I had the same thing. I'm not going to lie, it really hurt at the time. I vented on here and privately to NAF and Idle about the game and Shaggy had to wipe tears several times. And I never wanted to mod ever again!! The moral of the story is that I have modded again and it was so much fun. It was a mini here and a great group of players and I had a great time! Don't let a group of assholes ruin it for you! I'm sure that you're a great mod!

Yes, I am! Going out to breakfast now. Send me the role PM there, and I'll read it when I get back.

Just echoing what everyone else said: don't let a group of assholes ruin it for you. Modding is great, you just need to do it somewhere with decent people. I'd be happy to throw your name up on the list here; we are probably going to switch to a lottery format after the game that's starting after mine.

No, I completely understand that life comes up, so you were the least of my troubles! I'm sorry if this came off like an attack on you, pedescribe. Right now, I'm worried because jali disappeared and hasn't been seen since and paulwhoisaghost has apparently disappeared! I'm loath to replace paul..., but I guess I have to try.

FWIW, I am having a grand old time in your game and I think whoever is giving your grief needs to seriously gain some much-needed perspective.

Ulla, Cookies, you're so nice to me. I appreciate it.
I'm in a much better state of mind after this thread. Y'all talked me down from the ledge!
(Still need a sub for paul. I'll give you a nickel. Shiny, shiny!)

Ah, the juicy details:
Winston Smith and What Exit? were scum and they NK'ed AllWalker, a Vanilla. AW was willing to come back in and sub after I had a ton of missing people, and WS and WE went BERSERK, saying that I was a shitty mod, unfair, unreasonable, a jerk, etc. because I brought AW back in after they had killed him which meant I had destroyed their chances of winning, had unbalanced the game, had screwed them over, had been a big meanie, and had to fix it.
I asked how they proposed I would fix it (since I was curious what they had in mind and would probably have gone along with something like a request to extend one Night or something), and they said I had to give them the name of a Town Power role.
I said absolutely not and that I considered that cheating, so then WE said he couldn't possibly continue to play under those conditions.
Then they both wrote to CatinaSuit to get him to make me see reason, and started it all up again. WE said again that he didn't think he could continue to play when I couldn't see his point, so I said fine and replaced him with PCM.
One funny part of this for me: jali was supposed to be recruited Night 3 but she disappeared from the game. Scum NK'ed Special Ed and he was willing to sub back in. Scum didn't throw a fit about that, just AllWalker.
In his last fuck you move, Winston today went to the unspoiled thread and threw in a fake spoiler.
