Because I'm me, and running in the rain is fun
I'm in the mountains rn so I'll mostly just get rain. My town though flooded bad the last time a big hurricane came through so I expect something similar this time around. I appreciate the advice though <3

actually in all seriousness, I suggest we post the final results of DDO HOF on DDO, and then just include a link (or even a google doc link in case DDO dies for good) that leads to the old HOF in case anyone is curious about it. Disguise it under "the tradition started on another debate site: [link]"

I'm about to get hit by a massive cat2 storm, planning on running around in the rain. Unfortunately I doubt we'll get strong winds here but if I don't see a lot of flash floods I'll be surprised.
(I mean I'm pretty far inland rn so I'm sure I'll be fine. RIP the coastline though. I fully expect my home to be flooded)

I have my first college-level "exam" (test?) today. It's a stat test. Should I be like all the other angsty teens on my campus who try to function on 3 hours of sleep and blame it on their "insomnia" when they don't even get back to their dorms until 4am after a night of heavy partying and say I'm gonna off myself because I can't handle the stress of possible failure in a class that's "actually important to my future"?

It's a dating website full of gorgeously toned, tanned, and tall white dom men who are ready to flirt

I can agree. Honestly even telling someone they're an idiot isn't the end of the world. It may not be civil, but it's not like calling them a racial slur or something.
I mean obviously too much of anything is bad but the rules regarding conduct seem kinda strict (and yet very vague).

@drafterman
you're all idiotsAnd here's the trial balloon of the moderation team. A violation of the policy (II.A.1), one of the examples, verbatim, of a violation (perhaps deliberately chosen for that purpose).And, remember, "Just Kidding" (II.B) is not an excuse.What happens?The policy isn't clear. On the one hand, the policy states that personal attacks won't be tolerated and that there will be consequences. However, the warning section says the moderators shall warn in response upon "observing patterns" of conduct violation. Is a single post a "pattern"? If so, has Vaarka received their warning? If not, does that not mean you are "tolerating" this behavior?
tfw I made a joke but it helped out
idk how they're planning on handling this, but saying that what I said is not allowed and punishable is kinda dumb imo. It's a statement that doesn't really carry much weight behind it.
Don't get me wrong, I think that call-out threads and actual threats/attacks should receive attention, but if I hop in a thread and say "lol you guys are retarded" then it's not a personal attack. On top of that, since I haven't specified a particular member, you can't argue that I'm targeting someone and, more importantly, it can go ignored by the other participants of the thread.

The people living above me keep waking me up in the middle of the night. I've had many theories as to what's happening because it's rarely the same thing each time.

mostly just asking for ideas on rules and further additions. the ddo-only chat was just so old DDO members could have a place to chat if they felt like it.

I used to get calls from MA asking for a Patricia. It was an automated message that I'd get sometimes three times a day. This went on for two years, even after I told them to stop calling me. I tried blocking the number but whenever I did, another number would call.

I feel like this is poor wording. It's not that they "don't buy into it", it's more that they just don't care

Most people I know who lost their faith went along the lines of "I realized I didn't really believe it". However, most of them would consider themselves agnostic. They usually don't know how to go about faith, or don't feel anything when they try to be religious, or even just don't care that much.

Not many people use it yet, but the site does have a discord (can be found in the bottom right). However, it's new and not really... finished. So I come to you guys.
1. What should the rules for this discord be? I figure basic TOS (no doxxing, try to be somewhat civil, etc) will already exist, but what do you guys want in the rules?
Obviously I won't implement everything, especially if it's dumb or irrational, but I do want your opinions (for those who care lmao)

My phone is annoying b/c the audio port is kinda messed up (been like that since I got it, thought it was just my old earbuds). Every pair of earbuds I have used with this phone screws up if the jack is touched. Any kind of pressure will pause the song, bring up siri/alexa, sometimes even change the song.
I'm not rich enough for spotify premium, stop skipping songs I want to listen to just because I took a step and the edge of my pocket poked the jack.

My campus has a bunch of gender-neutral bathrooms that anyone can use. I know I've used them once or twice when I was about to blow something up...

@David
@smith - You get blamed for a lot of shit as a mod. You also receive a lot of mod-psych about stuff that clearly doesn't warrant it, which is always fun to watch (seriously, people will find any reason to mod psych you in hopes that they're getting behind-the-scenes information, and then call you a bastard mod for providing them with said "information"). It's dumb and annoying but it just sorta happens. What I wish is any sort of mod slip would be reported via PM instead of through the game. Unfortunately it's not always that way XP
@virt - I think the whole "always kill someone" thing is good for a big game, but considering the size of games here, just leave it be. If mafia doesn't want to NK, then they don't have to. It can be a strategy

@Smithereens
idk if it's true (I haven't checked and group PMs don't exist), but budda posted a replacement thing saying he needed a replacement for 1harder. Virt is pointing out that by doing so, people thought 1harder was the inactive mafia
that or he told someone that he was waiting on 1harder before he ended the night phase.
if it's the first one, not a huge deal honestly, mainly something that would be a "hey maybe next time" fix and a situation where players would hard-mod read. If it's the second one, then Budda is arguing that he stated in the rules that if someone was inactive, he'd give them time to PM him during the NP in case they were just gone for a while. Then he'd replace them if that didn't happen, and therefore his actions of telling people had no mod-confirming merit
I'm pretty sure that's what's happening anyway. Could be wrong

@David
This I can agree with. Never reveal a player name, nor an action or role.
Obviously it sometimes still happens but try to ask yourself "does this give any sort of information to someone who otherwise wouldn't have it" before you say anything.

okay, game's over
The slip-up was my fault. I didn't see the full listed role/justification when I was making it. Was kinda hurry to get the DP up and saw RM and Godfather. My eyes did the slip-up and I went "oh okay" and put it in. That part is entirely my fault, and I apologize
Budda, just a tip I've got for you: chill out. Mistakes happen, and people always blame the mods. However, don't let that affect how you treat the game and the players, and more importantly you should try to keep some kind of conduct on how you react and reply to certain things.
Players don't read the OP. It sucks but it happens. If they ask a simple question about it, you can just direct them to the OP or answer it. If they break a rule, and claim they didn't see it, but it is in the OP, then it's their fault, and they should be punished. It's how people learn.
You're not a bad mod, let me say that. You did a great job this series, just remember not to let your anger or annoyance affect how you interact with the players.
