in the context of that specific provocation it's on par with the discourse preceding it.

I think snide ad hominem attacks on a person's mental health are icky and belong exactly nowhere near the game of mafia

and that "this is actually fine because it's in a context of other people doing it" is not a defense

I don’t know how to interpret “icky” in this context

Is it a halfhearted way of saying “bad” or just something you aren’t particularly comfortable with

In any case I think Ecco would be the first to say krell was right, in that mafia brought out the worst in her personality and that’s why she left

As a rule people are generally responsible for their own actions and Ecco being bad or good doesn't mean Krell is not bad. lol. Not that I know Krell but that seems like a bad post.

Well, it's in the character of my point. People single out the marginalized and make their behaviors a rule while excusing members of the in-group, one of whom triggered this scenario in the first place.

"krell" as understood here is a boogeyman constructed of every personally distasteful thing he's ever said, and projections from players who never encountered him with things he hasn't done, rather than a full and fair picture of the individual. Otoh, a similar record from one of the good ones is minimized and viewed as out of character

I get the point you're making taste and I think that's valid. Ultimately I think it's just best to refrain from any kind of personally derogatory statement about other players, because they matter very little in this context, that's why I cut several paragraphs from this post.

Agreed. It’s why I made an effort to approach this conversation by positioning a player viewed negatively and asserting the positive than anyone in the opposite situation

Self crit as a community isn’t about poo poo talking anyone, it’s about recognizing general trends in the negative and without assigning blame looking to what we can do better

It’s me saying it’s disgusting and stigmatizing, but without using those words so as to lower the connoted strength of the offense to the appropriate level. I’d be shocked if you didn’t know that full well, of course, but I’ll allow that you could hypothetically be asking for clarification in earnest.

I used to get pretty hot when people attacked me personally in mafia.

Now, I try look beyond the attack at what is behind it and brush it off. I think there’s good scum tells when people get ugly. The rawness is easier to identify as genuine or not.

I was emptyquoting this because I heard about Martin Van Buren and his nicknames on a podcast this week. One of his other nicknames was “Little Magician.”

I try to speak precisely on things that matter to me. I haven’t used that specific word in any serious context ever so I don’t know what it would mean to you. I do appreciate the clarification.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



I used to get really angry and call other players retarded.

Not proud of that poo poo.

Lot more fun to be chill!
