The Last Thing We Needed

After the last couple of weeks, I don't intend at this point to follow this game any further. Consequently, I'd like to thank our hosts now for all the hard work they've done to keep this game going - you've done an incredible job guys! I'd like to thank those of you who supported me and believed in me throughout this game but sadly, that'd be a very short list. I wish my team all the best - I hope you guys win in the end despite my contribution.

I'd like to say this has been lots of fun but it really hasn't been. I haven't lied to any of you once all game and I don't intend to start now. I haven't enjoyed playing this game and I've come to realise that I don't like the person I am when I'm playing. I intend now to take a break from Mafia and from this site specifically for a long, long time. Maybe one day in the distant future when I become comfortable being duplicitous and cynical of the motivations of others, when I become insensitive and careless of the respect that I currently feel I owe all of you, I'll return and we can play again. It won't be as Glorfindel however (so feel free to delete my account) - you lynched him and there's clearly no place for someone like him on this site. Farewell!

Stay strong, Glorfindel, and give it a bit of time. It hurts, it gives into thoughts of quitting, it might even feel like actively hating certain people, but after a week or so, the feelings might bottle up, shrink down to the size of an irrelevant pea and resolve on their own. Not sure about the feeling of being uncomfortable with playing a game of duplicity and cynicism, I'm personally fine with this aspect, but with the right amount of time off, any bad experience might fade away afterwards, instead of feeling like it severed ties with the community or with who you were as a player. Bit philosophical, but hopefully you get my drift. Tenna' ento lye omenta.

Maybe he confused Ricos Black & White avatar with yours? Rico did say HE was retiring.

And tbh, you were flawless this game. I was still a bit hesitant to vote you even with Bullz so sure. Had you been around more to defend the last half of the day, you might have pulled it out.

Same here.

Thanks to you both. That means a lot and I really appreciate it .

Now I can go back into semi-retirement for a bit with a good feeling. Don't expect me to play any big games for a while, work doesn't allow me to keep up in the early stages of the game.
