Running games is cool and all but it would be nice to play something too. Otherwise my attention will likely drift elsewhere.

It's funny you say this, because I was recently thinking I'd feel more at ease if I updated my game and ran one instead of playing. My issue is how I've been as a player, and could run one with less issue.

Eh. The reading numerous posts in dead-thread of "Oh I really hope they lose now" and "That's so arrogant", then getting a "bullshit" badge awarded over it, doesn't really convey the feeling that people didn't take it seriously. Even if that's true, I don't think it's super-healthy to (for any amount of time) think a large subset of friends are pissed at you, only to be told "lol jk".
Click to expand...
My entire intention with the BS flag was how we basically were bullshitted and lost because we couldn't see it. Not that your win was bullshit, or that the team was bullshit, or that the roles were bullshit. Just simply the fact that y'all had to be good at BSing to win this one. And you were.

I've said in PM to shortkut and to TD that I was rooting for you guys after the rug got pulled out under my feet. I genuinely was, and thought it was crazy to witness. I'm thinking my master sorcerer plans are easily going to clinch this for the wolves, but once I got to the dead thread, I was rightly floored!

I was never upset with you guys for winning. The badge thing was absolutely blown out of proportion and I am so sad that it was taken as vitriol instead of the cheeky "hey look at these sly motherfuckers" "here's your REAL badge you WIMPS". I thought by being extra playground and extra silly, the joke would not be lost. But alas, it bothered you and I want to apologize that it bothered you. I think you would have realized how not annoyed and how genuinely on your side I was if you had read the dead thread but I know you don't really want to or have time to. In any case, I want you to know it was purely a joke, with an assist by Mark, that I had assumed would just be deleted or removed inevitably. I kind of want the animated badge, ya know? So please Ben, I beg of you, no hard feelings on this one.

Oh, my read was they wanted the B.S. Flag to be used for the Instigator Team Win at large because of all the... well, bullshit, they got fed this game. If that wasn't the intent, that's not cool.

That 100% was the intent. I ate much poop by Instigator team. They sling some hot BS. It allowed them to win. Nothing wrong with that.
Raine said:
I knew Zell was stirring the pot with those posts and that's why I presented Insta-Gator. 'Cause typically after the game is over a couple of folks, chiefly TD, use the dedicated badge thread to (attempt to) crowdsource ideas for any new/relevant badges. Unilaterally deciding on a badge usually results in getting a dubious badge instead and/or in addition to the final one.

That's where my mind was at with the "here's your REAL badge ya jerks" or whatever I said.

Mark said:
I’m just gonna include this here, since I don’t know who’s paying attention to the dead thread anymore.

I blindly added the instigator badge when I was tagged. I’m not even aware of how/why it would be a shot at any one particular person or team of instigators. I just press the buttons when I’m tagged, so, my apologies if the badge caused any trouble.
Click to expand...
This is my fault, so I want to apologize to you too Mark. You did it without asking and we both didn't think there would be any type of negative response to it. I thought it was just going to be a joke because the team that had to bullshit their way to victory were successful in their endeavor. I still think it's a suitable badge for this situation, but if it's making people upset, then we should definitely remove it.

Or give it to me.

It's cool. I'm not upset at you or mark, and don't even feel aggravated enough by it to remove the badge even.

It was just one more layer on the "oh this didn't feel like winning" onion.

That’s exactly how I interpreted what little I did read above/below the post you tagged me in.

You’re good, you don’t owe me an apology, dude. It’s part of the gamble I take every time I do some shit on a whim like that to amuse people/myself. You never know how something like that is gonna land when you’re just rushing through a gimmick or a joke when the objective is to try and be quick-witted and there’s already a delay between when you were tagged and when you replied.

That’s an obvious win, though. I’m referring to the controversial badges, or the ones that are jokes on someone. For example, @Ben and I talked about the Ben-Gay badge before it was even done here, I figured what better way to give a “fuck it” vibe to that whole sour experience after learning about it was to lean right into it. If I were Ben, that’s exactly how I would have handled it, which is why it was suggested. If there was some form of comparable badge I could have awarded myself as a joke at my expense, it would have already been done, which is why I landed on Kim, a dipshit dictator, awarding badges for likely dumbshit reasons.

There you go again. Always making things all about it you. All about what you want and how you feel. Maybe this type of attitude is why we can’t play wolf anymore

I'm sure I missed a lot of context around that, being that I don't scour all the threads in here. From my perspective all I saw was the badge award notification and then Tommy's posts in the Aftercare thread seemingly upset by it. I'm certainly aware badges are used as a form of ribbing, but with the existing belief that everyone was annoyed I just took it as a more pointed barb.

If the community at large doesn't like the badge I made without democratic input, it can be changed.
Click to expand...
Oh that's fine, it's my lunch break and I can't even read this thread much less anything else. Welcome to the club on missing context!

For whatever it's worth I, personally, am completely indifferent to badges. I only have/wear the Dipshit McFuckup badge because it perfectly encapsulates who and what I want to be within the context of these games. But the one you whipped up is cool as hell, as always, and if that's what y'all want then I think you should have it.

That being said.

Insta-Gator was still robbed.

I love that Mark has only tertiary knowledge of Wolf, but has inadvertently created a badge that sounds like it would be Priest+1.

You only get it if you're the Priest, kill a wolf with your action, and that wolf was Instigated.

Vash can officially never retire.

Tertiary? You’ve greatly overestimated my knowledge. I’m like a primitive search engine. Keywords only.

What? Saying something is a cop out isn't calling anybody a liar. "Cop out" means to avoid responsibility. His complaint is essentially the same as this one here:

TD said:
I feel attacked and instead of ANYONE acknowledging it, it's once again dismissive.
Click to expand...

Ants also felt like his voiced concern about having his feelings hurt was dismissed. He felt the reason he was given wasn't a good justification. That's all he was saying.

I don't say that to invalidate how it made you feel, TD. I'm only pointing this out in hopes that you'll feel better about the original message if you take it in that vein instead of as an accusation of dishonesty.
