I'll refrain from posting my own receipts of Req bitching constantly about the game, but suffice it to say once we reached an understanding of what being toxic meant (after Req changed his definition midgame), Req directly refused to comply with the specific requirements of his role after being warned that failure to do would result in immediate modkill.
I agree that I could have drawn a flowchart titled "babby's first time pretending to be toxic", but I think that the instructions are pretty damn clear to anyone that's played a mafia game here; be a total asshole. Unless you're Tirin, I think anyone here can figure out how to be a relentless dick without it appearing like a genuine display of their personal character.
As you can imagine, I was initially very unhappy with Req's behavior. The string of messages in my inbox and shitty memes a few posts back tell me that Req's not too pleased about my decisions either.
But game-ruining behavior aside, Req caused Wholesome Mafia - a game I secretly designed to become increasingly toxic as it went on - to become rather toxic on a meta level. And he accomplished this by refusing to make toxic posts, even when ordered to do so by the GM under the threat of modkill!
Requiem became a martyr for wholesomeness, which is why I encourage you all to vote for him in the poll. By his actions, we have learned that there must be balance in the forum. My efforts to force others into my toxic design led to extremely wholesome behaviors, which in turn created a measure of toxicity between us, which in turn will spur the following wholesomeness:
Req, I'm sorry bby. We still have some disagreements about how things went down, but ultimately I'm really glad you were a player in this game. I'm sorry I got mad and modkilled you when you said you'd refuse to meet by conditions of being an asshole. At that point, I should have worked with you so that we could figure out how to make your posts toxic in such a way that wouldn't make you uncomfortable, but would still fulfill the mechanic's requirements while being engaging for the other players.
I think that this game was a great learning experience, and I'm happy all of you were a part of it.
Thank you all for playing Wholesome Mafia. <3
