The Syndicate

In all seriousness, folks, let the mod on duty take your punches. When we're on duty, we aren't in the thick of it, and we aren't worked up. We can be fierce in a game, sure, but when we're modding, we are tame and want to help everyone (the host included!) have a good time.

It helps us if you drop us a line to let us know you are pissed: Even if you don't need us to do anything about it. Even if you only want to use all the profanity, know that what you say to a mod is private. Relieve that pressure.

You know that tirade you're writing in which you call your enemy a total bitch and threaten to quit the game? Go ahead and write it. Seriously. Just send it to the mod instead of posting it. We'll be the only one to see it.

Then go work in your garden. Have a drink. Or escape to a video game. Or play your flute to lure all the children in the city to your secret lair. Whatever it is you do to refrain from publicly losing your shit. We don't judge.

Then come back. The game will still be here. So will the mod, who will ask you how many children you captured and if it eased your mind any. The mod isn't here to make you feel rotten about getting pissed; the mod is here to help you avoid feeling rotten later on because you pissed off someone else and said some shit you can never take back.

So come on. Punch me. Punch me in the face.

Could I PM you and tell you I don't give a shit about your feelings instead?
