I'm sorry for ruining y'all's game experience. I figured y'all could continue in peace if I left.

I don't feel like my game experience was ruined, but I see how others will think that. There are lessons we can take from this for our lives in the future.

@Ruguo Do you want to make a poll?

I stand by what I said.  I support option 3 completely at this point.

But I would love to see this game make a reappearance when we're all in a better place emotionally, because god it was a greatly executed idea otherwise.

I definitely want to keep the game going. I've powered through worse. I wouldn't mind a break if people want one but option 1 works for me.

I vote for Option 1.

This game is one reason I have been able to keep some of my sanity with the craziness outside which has been causing stress for me.  I have been working hard in the game and this has probably been the one I have been most active ever in.

I don't feel the need to stop playing just because of tension between players.  I know I have historically been able to play well in games even when I had issues with other players in the game, even if I end up being more negative than usual.

Please keep the game going. Don't let my outburst ruin the beautifully planned and executed game Ruguo has going. Minus the drama, the game has actually been pretty awesome. I would hate to see it die because of me.

Hmm, perhaps a 2-day recess would work well? Long enough for the batteries to be recharged, not long enough for everyone to lose interest.

I, personally, support option 3 but if the majority still wants to carry on I will be present.

I don't feel the need to stop playing just because of tension between players.  I know I have historically been able to play well in games even when I had issues with other players in the game, even if I end up being more negative than usual.

I guess the way I'm looking at it is that this isn't just tension between players.  Past games always have that and we do get through fine.

This is more tension from the high activity, getting used to the play styles of the new players (and possibly continued runoff from earlier in the game), tensions from new players not adapting to the game well as well as the amount of inactivity we get, tension from the overall amount of players where we've had to already replace 4 just within/after the first phase as well as actually modkill a couple of inactives...

And then the tension from arguing on top of all of that causing some players to just hit their emotional peak.

I hate saying this as a usual host myself, but at this point I'm mainly just waiting for another heated argument to happen or for even more people to say that they're quitting because of emotional fatigue...and don't think I didn't ponder it myself at first (But because I was supposed to be represnting us in the Championships, I tried to hold it down).

At this point, it might just be better if we step away...but since that usually kills the game in its tracks anyways, stepping away for good and revisiting the idea in the future seems the most logical.

On the note of Laurentus's added bit, a few days respite could work too, just give people a chance to wind down a bit.

I'm just pretty convinced by this point that a negative atmosphere has descended on this game and that people are likely just going to be on edge this entire game. The mood of the game was different then a lot of folks expected and that's unlikely to change at this point, in my view.

I want to be clear, however, that this is absolutely not Silv's fault, they made an absolutely fantastic game. It's just that no one could have foreseen how the different styles people were used to would clash and create this atmosphere.

Alright. If given option 2 I'd be willing to give it a go contingent on y'all actually wanting me in the game. I would also seriously like @Aragonn to continue too but I don't know that he'd want to.

I'm sorry I called you a dick, I was really upset because it felt that you were calling me an idiot for not understanding the PM system on this site. I realize I over reacted. I'm sorry.

I really have had fun playing this. I love what Ruguo has done. Please don't kill this game.

With This being said the genuine fear that this game won't continue after two days seems realistic.

I'd suggest everyone take a break and see where their heads are at in two days. The break I've personally taken already has cleared a few things up and I see how I've overreacted here.

Thats all.

Lau Pengu Aren you all were taking about how Werewolf has made it through some serious lows before and continued.

Including something y'all wouldn't even explain. I hope this is just another one of those moments. I think we just need space for a minute or...48 hours and we can get back to a truly fun game.

Werewolf 6's low didn't drive a wedge between the players. I am legit scared that with the way this game has gone down we end up with another November crisis.

Werewolf 6 was basically a grand old time for everyone involved, and probably my personal favourite game of Werewolf ever. There was just one player taking part who did something unspeakable, and ended up getting banned. The difference between the current situation and that one was that there was no toxicity between the players, and when the thing happened, we moved forward together as one.
