Some have more access to time than others to read posts, some people have more access to the internet than others, some people have more access to the English language than others, some people have access to more analytical minds than others, some people have access to more friends than others to help them vote, some people live in more convenient time zones than others, some people have access to knowledge of whatever that show was that INH wanted us to comb through than others, some people are more creative than others and will succeed better certain types of challenges. Are all of these unfair advantages? Are all of these cheating?

Fuck off.

I don't want to and you can't make me.

Fuck off.

Actually let me elaborate.

Having access to another account is not remotely similar or in the same category as being smarter, dumber, more friendly, spanish, italian, or whatever you're arguing and you know it. The American Gods accounts were a clear competitive advantage for those that had access to them and you know it..

So.. Fuck off.

You do realize I'm a mod now, right? I'd rather you were a little less rude.

Just because you have a yellow name doesn't give you the right to spout trollish bullshit with impunity. :P

P.S Go ahead and ban me for calling you out on your bullshit dude, I already said I'm not playing on this site again after this game.

I never said it did, but I think it's appropriate for all members, regardless of the color of their name, to treat each other with at least a minimum level of respect when they disagree.

If I respected you I'd treat you with respect.

This is completely and utterly out of hand. I am very disappointed in the way this thread has degenerated. We're all adults here. If there are issues to be had, please don't make them public, take this to PM. This matter should have been taken to PM from the very beginning and not spouted in thread -- from all sides.

INH, I understand there was some frustration on your end, and I get that. I've been a host and it is frustrating as all hell to perceive that players aren't putting forth effort in a game that you are spending tons of time hosting. But that doesn't mean you should blow up on the players who are in your game if they choose not to participate in a challenge.

Likewise, players should have made most of their criticism private to the Mod in addition to the host. That is what the Mod on Duty is there for. It doesn't help when a host feels relentlessly attacked during a game, even if all the points being brought up are valid.

Most importantly, any issues ESPECIALLY regarding other players should always be in PM. Threads should never degenerate to this. This is despicable behavior. We're all adults and we're all here to have fun. Yes, it's fun to win, but in the end it's just a game. I was upset to die in this game, but it's good to take a step back and realize it was all for fun. That's something we all need to remember, even though it can be easy to lose sight of it.

It upsets me greatly to see people here purposefully offending and attacking each other. That's not what this site is about at all. Mistakes have been made, yes, but this needs to continue completely privately before even more hurtful things are said.

It's unfortunate but I feel I have to lock this thread. It has gone way too far. Thanks for hosting, INH, and thanks to everyone for playing.

I will unlock this thread once it is proven the issue has been taken to a level of civility.

Thanks for understanding. Apologies for any inconvenience to players wishing to converse about this end game.

Just posting this because a mood struck me. Anyone who cares enough to read it, go for it I guess :P

I said some dumb shit in here and I apologize for that. I don't really have an excuse, and I wouldn't offer one if I did. Anyway, sorry.

This entire game is something I feel like I completely ballsed up, betraying what was actually a pretty kick-ass concept.

I regret pretty much everything I did in the back half of hosting this game, and I apologize to the people who got shafted due to my bullshit.
