Xenoblade Mafia (Game Over)

[fferyllt]

i just realized that xenogears would've been perfect to debut the fery/buldermar/orcinus hydra

eh wtv

It would. I'm kinda afraid to unleash that hydra upon ms.

[BROseidon]

^I want to see that hydra. Sounds fun.

I didn't want to use my fakeclaim because my fakeclaim was jailer which at that point would have been fucking stupid to claim. "Hmm, all these kills are going through but we have a jailer, what's going on here?"

Although I guess I could have no-killed for WIFOM, but that would have been risky, and I still would have had to claim actions that weren't "Oh, I protected Orc every round except when that would have prevented us from NKing looks like I need an excuse to switch..."

[Nachomamma8]

yeah there were too many crosskills for scum to really need their fakeclaims.

[GuyInFreezer]

I was gonna use my fakeclaim if I didn't get crosskilled :<

[BROseidon]

And I would have shot you instantly for being scum

[Metal Sonic]

Ah I feel guilty for screwing this up for all

I had suspected Bro in my "secret reads"] that I didn't tell my replacement

and nacho hasty hammered without waiting for me or hawk

we are sorry

[Cabd]

So long as you agree to never ever EVER mention an ongoing game inside another one I forgive you.

[Varsoon]

I usually get away with it by writing something like,

Well, in this [ONGOING GAME I CANT TALK ABOUT] there's things I could use to refute you.

This is not allowed. If it could be perceived as referencing an ongoing game, no matter how obliquely, no matter how much obfuscation you're trying for,

do not do it

.

Talking about ongoing games is expressly against site rules

, and that includes any loopholes you might be thinking about.

Don't damage game integrity and ruin someone else's game for the sake of a read. We are heavy on punishing that behavior for a reason.

[Metal Sonic]

Even if the player you're referencing already flipped? Hypothetically.

[Varsoon]

Aaah, right on then. Then I shall not talk about other games, or even mention that I might want to talk about other games. Fairnuff

[Cabd]

Nb4 mod says "nope, still not allowed"

[Cabd]

Because I mean, let's be honest, you could still somehow accidentally reveal their teammates or something.

[Tierce]

Even if the player you're referencing already flipped? Hypothetically.

It is still an ongoing game. The answer is still No.

[Varsoon]

True, fair enough.
Although, there's nothing stopping people from searching other games I am currently in and looking at them right? They just can't mention them.

[Metal Sonic]

All right, thanks for the clarifications

I can only use those in 'secret reads' but not as evidence then.

[Tierce]

You're allowed to think whatever you want, and search whatever you want. But what happens in a game thread stays in a game thread until the moment the mod declares the game over, regardless of whether you are a participant in it.

While we are at it, calling things "secret reads (due to blah)" is also an oblique reference.

In short: don't be an ass. Referencing ongoing games creates a lot of trouble for the mod(s), for the players, for the Skittles. You wouldn't want the integrity of a game you spent a lot of time and dedication designing/playing damaged because someone thought their argument needed a push from an ongoing game--so don't do it yourself. Happier Skittles, happier players, happier mods.

[Varsoon]

I agree on this point.
I'd like games to be fun before anything, and games getting stalled for technical issues/having to find replacements is not that much fun.

[Metal Sonic]

How does talking about an ongoing game in another game cause technical problems and replacements?

I understand how it skews reads, but rules aside I don't think it causes something as serious as a game stall?

[Metal Sonic]

But yeah sucks to have a game ruined and we must not do anything that may potentially cause I trouble

If you're breaking the rules, you either get force-replaced or modkilled (the latter if the slot is compromised). That right there is going to create problems. And skewing reads is problematic. If a player thinks their read on someone who is mentioning an ongoing game is irreparably damaged, the morally correct thing to do for those players is to inform the mod of the situation and then replace out to avoid compromising the game

further

. Skewing reads

does

compromise the game. You're bringing in outside influences.

Don't do it. We have a lot of experience with how this damages games, the rules exist for a reason. You don't need to know all the details of WHY it's bad to reference ongoing games, just use common sense and follow the rules.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

quite unfortunately i'm pretty sure that it was your overmodding that damaged this game, not metal sonic

[orcinus_theoriginal]

but it's okay i guess you did what you needed to do, i actually would've thought that the game should've been suspended until metal sonic came back, but whatever, satisfying finish i suppose

[Metal Sonic]
