But you said "This will be my last game" and that isn't the first time you've said that ... and this is coming from someone who always tells me that I cry wolf Dodgy

Past statements from either of you about never playing the game again are null and void the second you express interesting in playing the game again. Saying something in the moment doesn't make it an ironclad contract, obviously. 

I totally get that you two can't play the game together, but you said you only wanted to be an alt in the event that we didn't find enough people. Evie joining the game adds to our numbers of confirmed players. Him joining is a good thing since you expressed interest only if we can't find enough players.

Calling in reserves:

@Escape Artist, it's time. @Shai Hulud you know you want to. @Smercury44 I promise to put extra effort into praying to roll scum this round so you can pummel me. @mlmooney89, put the baby down and come goof off on the internet.

Yeah I'm thinking the same. I'm not really sure what needs doing to my paper any more. I'm just letting it mature on my hard disk in case I think of any little extra changes to make.

I can definitely play from next Monday.

Okay, so we can count you as a full player if we start on Monday? If we start before Monday, then you'll take a pass this round, correct?

You're like those two friends that we all like but who should never be invited to the same party. You're both good people but putting you together is a recipe for unhappiness. Perhaps next time if your schedule allows you to play Evie will sit one out.

If we start Sunday then that will be Night Zero, and you'd have little to do anyway even if you draw scum.

Poca could play.... but not this week, and not next week.
Sorry.
If signups last until the 17th, then I'm game.

I totally get that you two can't play the game together, but you said you only wanted to be an alt in the event that we didn't find enough people. Evie joining the game adds to our numbers of confirmed players. Him joining is a good thing since you expressed interest only if we can't find enough players.

There's a reason why people skim his posts and point out the obvious. It's because no one likes to be bullied into responding and not being given a chance to read and digest the posts that are in game. He gets impatient and DEMANDS we respond within minutes. Clearly, people have lives and don't live on the game 24/7 but that doesn't matter to Evie. He wants everyone to pay attention to his posts immediately and if that doesn't happen, he repeatedly posts the same thing over and over ad nauseum until someone finally responds. And you can't point this out to him because then he tells you how wrong you are. If anyone dares disagrees with him about anything - they are automatically labelled as stupid or dumb or whatever adjective is in Evie's vocabulary for the day. It's sad because it ruins the game for a lot of people, which is a big reason why most don't want to play anymore. 

Need proof of this? Look at the last game I played and you'll see it. He attacked several people including myself simply because we didn't agree with him. Even Poca tried to gently tell him that what he was doing was wrong and the nastiness that Evie was posting towards Poca was just out of line. We're all wrong and we're all stupid according to him. Honestly, who wants to play with someone who has that sort of attitude towards everyone else? 

The repeated name calling by him towards not only me, but others in the last game I played with him, should have been more than enough for a temporary ban from the game until he could learn to realize that it isn't all about him and that you can't go around calling people names when they don't see things your way. But no - he's allowed to keep playing and ruining the game for others. How is that in any way fair to the rest of us who would like to actually play, but can't because it's a clear conflict of interest? We all have the right to NOT be bullied by anyone - especially by those who think that they are superior to everyone else. 

Bottom line: I would have loved to have played. But I will not sit by and be someone's verbal punching bag because he needs to bust his nut the second others don't agree with what he says about the game. 

It was suggested by someone else that we take turns playing but since that's clearly never going to happen, I guess I lose out. People will eventually have enough of the barrage of insults and rude behavior and they won't want to play and it will be harder and harder to find players. Maybe then things will change. 

What gets me is that S.O. engaged in similar behavior and everyone was real quick to nip that in the bud and refused to allow him to play in their games, yet you all let it continue on with Evie. That isn't exactly fair or right by any standards and is the primary reason why I stated that I wasn't going to play anymore. Despite what he absurdly assumes, it's not about me crying wolf either. It's about people here doing the right thing and standing up to the ignorant, abusive behavior displayed due to the butthurt of one person because things don't go their way.

I hear you, I really do. But there comes a point in time where people need to realize that not everything revolves around them and insulting others because one isn't getting their way, isn't considered playing nice.
