So a failure to do so is not something you can pin blame on me for; it's a collective failure. Am I without blame, no, I am part of the collective, but I am not the entirety of it so stop pretending I am.
Yes, yes you are. You need to stop dragging your feet. You three (you, Jingle and Vecna) moaning that most of the players are doing shit all when they are doing shit all B/C you are not gladiating them.

We are also almost at deadline and Jingle is in the lead.
STOP. DRAGGING. YOUR. FEET.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Mastina, a player that barely posts as it is...IDK, I just think its idiotic that you're like "don't gladiate until 11!" If she doesn't gladiate today I want her dead.

My track record of reading you is poor; all the same, your actions have generated a stronger scumread than the already existing one.
Guess what about twisting words.

You are a poooor communicator so 99% of ur shit means nothing and only 1% means a god damn thing

And I don’t think I twisted anything you said you weren’t going to read me because you had a read on predecessor so you didn’t need to read me. I can pull an exact quote of you saying that.

You have now backtracked. Which isn’t surprising cause when you throw a bunch of shit at a wall your eventually going to back off the wall so you don’t smell like shit

I mean, you kind of flaunted the idea of using your role as a day cop. Did you, as town, really think about NOT using it every day? Like, idk, If I knew I was a town loyal gladiator and thus a public day cop with the only minor drawback being that we no lynched I'd WANT to use it every day. The way you worded it makes it sound like you didn't think about that which is kinda :igmeou:

Why don’t we just cancel the game?
Does anyone really want to play this thing?

RC doesn’t even want to mod it.

Like I think most people here feel like this game is a chore

I mean, I'd play. I was thinking about pming a list mod last night and asking them to ban RC from playing in games until he actually mods this. But I also wouldn't be sad if this game got called.

Very likely an oversight, though, and plenty of much larger games have been run to completion so I'm cool with playing it out.

I am modding this

I am not responsible for compiling a list of hurts and heals and the VC has changed extraordinarily little. I've requested replacements and I've prodded people who are inactive. I don't feel like I am the problem here.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

Players without a gladiate opinion at all: ,

With 20 alive, 11 is the proposed Gladiate Threshhold. If you want to reduce or increase the threshold, please indicate as such.

Please note, this includes information stolen from the recent votecounts and possibly from reads lists, assuming that all players you're claiming are scum you are also willing to see gladiated.
If you would like your name removed from a wagon, please indicate as such.


Additionally, I have begun the process of bolding the name on the wagon of their strongest scumread (Or what I percieve to be their strongest scumread). If you would like to have your name bolded on a particular wagon, please say so and I will oblige.

Links added and votes moved to be roughly chronological. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed/added/removed.

It's still nice to have regular VCs at least once every 5 pages, even if votes don't change just so
1. Everyone knows votes haven't changed
2. Everyone knows you're still around and keeping up.

You can also include the prods/replacements info/timers going on your VCs so we can be a bit more aware of what's going on there.

But yeah I think you're doing fine and I don't begrudge you for how people have chosen to play the setup.
I also don't expect you to keep track of hurt tags or anything like that.

None.

The issue isn't with mod action you've taken/haven't taken. The issue is that it's going to be incredibly difficult to find 3 replacements for a 200 page game with 20 living players, especially considering the number of previous replacements. I'm down to keep trying as long as everyone else is though; I just wanted to address the elephant in the room that it's probably going to get worse before it gets better.
