there was an unfortunate event earlier in this game that caused a big morale hit to a lot of my beloved town teammates. not wanting to engage further itt and wanting to leave the thread is a valid coping mechanism
HOWEVER
id like to invite the idea that it is not the only valid coping mechanism. when things go rough, when the shit hits the fan, when everybody wants to give up, when nobody is having fun and everything is sour - continuing to fight despite the circumstances, continuing to do your best despite being under duress, pressing on despite wanting to give up, challenging the thoughst that tell you “this isn’t worth it, im out” - THAT is what heroes do
challenging the negative emotions that immobilize you and piercing through the invisible wall with your drill so that you can have fun and win the game despite the past - THAT is what heroes do
the past is in the past. we all have regrets for it. we cannot change it. what we CAN control is every single second at the moment. every second is an opportunity to turn a loss into a win, sadness into happyness, negativity into fun
@Achromatic is my friend and one of the best mafia players ive seen. i appreciate achro. he has talked about being hurt greatly in the past. pretty much all people carry scars in them, and sometimes those wounds can reopen from other people’s words. almost always unintentionally. Achro cares a lot about the game, as evidenced by him winning all the time. Achro cares a lot about people’s feelings, as evidenced by him doing his best to mediate when there’s trouble. Achro is an empathic and a wonderful person
@CamGrrl Mac is my friend and one of the best mafia players ive seen. i love mac. i know how much he has been hurt in the past. i know of some of his scars, and some of the circumstances that can trigger him to relive bottled up hurt. i know that in mac’s mind he was doing nothing more than playing the game we all love to play to the best of his ability - something we all do, and something he finds great success in. i know how much mac cares about other people and goes to lengths to accommodate their feelings. mac possesses a great deal of emotional intelligence and insight both introspective and outwards
there was no malicious intent in that battle. both achro and mac are good people, they’re a lot smarter and more mature than me, and they are friends. i have full faith in them that they’ll square it out after the game and they will return to being friends. im not doubting it even for a second
i believe that the current conensus poe is Zug, Lol, Apo, Guava
I might be wrong on this. If so - challenge my wrong interpretation - what is the consensus poe, if not that?
If you disagree with that poe - please offer a replacement for the names. Take out a name but put in another one. We are looking for a team of 4
If you have any other qualms, grievances, objections - please voice them, and please offer an alternative solution to the problem
I appreciate all of you for playing this game with me
Mafia is a wonderful game that I love a lot. You are all wonderful people, and I’m really happy that I can spend time with you guys. I respect all of you, and I feel endeared and entertained being in your presence
