[Mad Cow]

[EMAIL] Attempted to warn Melissa, SP loyalties heads up

[ABoxInABox]

Everytime you send a message to Melissa through Dana's account, the less likely she is to think we are supporting her. Also, telling her about things she doesn't already know about is a very, very, VERY bad idea. She's the mentally unstable one, remember?

Well then, everybody can thank gkrohne for the end of Lt. weephun's committal to full disclosure to this group.

I never post here, because the signal to noise ratio on this board makes my ADD tweak into the stratosphere, and any attempt to respond usually gives me a mild aneurysm.

I also don't criticize all the spec and meta posts made here, because some people need those to help them form their thoughts, and I can appreciate that. That's their way of playing the game.

But I felt I needed to post tonight to implore weephun and Mad Cow to keep posting their communications here, because *I* appreciate it. You guys are just trying to play the game, and you don't deserve the mountains of crap that have been flung your way, and I'm sorry that some people will go to ridiculous lengths to ruin your fun.

My observations of weephun and the other crew members have consistently shown me that you folks are just trying to play the game as honestly as you can, and I appreciate it. Some folks here are so jealous of your success that they'll do anything to lash out, as our friend gkrohne did here.

Let me apologize on behalf of the silent majority of players that appreciate your contribution to the game. You've taken time out of your days to go and answer axons, tye up posts here, etc, and I appreciate that. Without the dedication of folks like you and the people that update the wikis, maintain this board, etc the rest of us would have had a really short and unfulfilling experience. Sometimes we're too busy enjoying the fruits of your labor to say so, but we always appreciate what you do.

Please continue to play the game in whatever manner you see fit, and try to ignore these spineless jackanapes.

To the rest: If you have an honest in-game reason to compete with folks like weephun and Mad Cow feel free. But the example posted tonight was clearly designed to simply subvert weephun and elevate the author in Melissa's eyes at everyone else's expense, and that's just ridiculous. Melissa has proven that she only gives the good info to those she trusts, and undermining those channels simply sends us all in the wrong direction.

Thanks for your time,

Ripp

Confused....

Yes, people are turning in other people. One I liked the best was seeing one guy's angel picture being rejected after Melissa was informed he didn't really pose for it.

Here's the subtle distinction, with explanation thrown in.

[atdt1991]

Yes, this is an in-game post.

[atdt1991]

In-game? Out-of-game?

[TuxKamen]

Where I draw it is the distinction between the actual data and reports about that data.

In other words, if you show the pictures *you* sent to Melissa to others, they're fair game, even when placed here, because they can then say to Melissa, 'look at X's picture'. They've seen it, so they can make a judgment.

What isn't so great is taking someone's report saying, 'Hey, I sent this to her'--the purpose of which is to keep you in the metaloop about interactions--and using that report as a basis for trying to advance yourself. Instead, hey, weephun sent pictures too. Why not check those for hidden messages?
