Forgive me, master

Clicky.

That's cool, I got my own page on encyclopedia dramatica!

As for not getting PMs, if you are not on this list: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...ayers-database people generally won't contact you, as plently of people don't want to be contacted.

I mean when I already joined a game, noone usually wants to work together with me. This is not a complaint, just something I noticed.

Its true, only some people are congratulated, normally the person or few people that secured the victory. In the last two games, I survived something like 3 weeks after my two mafia partners died on day 2 and 3. In the other game, after having a few rounds of fun, I took control of the town and won the game that night phase. I got a few 'good jobs' but no one will remember it in a weeks time.

I've played more games than anyone else in the gameroom, hosted 13 mafia games, several non mafia games, and very rarely have I not been in the top percentage for post counts for a game. But I'm never remembered, never congratulated. Never nominated for a gameroom award, never included when discussion goes to 'best players'.

It's not about lasting glory or anything like that, just in some games I've worked hard trying to help the team and then I wasn't even mentioned by some of the people I thought I worked together with, as though I hadn't even been there. That was a bit disappointing and if my contributions are that useless then I guess mafia is not for me.

But I don't want to sidetrack this topic to a mafia discussion, we should address Subotan's posts, it was just an example that sometimes you just don't fit into a group where others feel right at home.

sometimes you just don't fit into a group where others feel right at home.

And those you think do fit in may also feel they do not.

I learnt that lesson.

Me and Pizza are in our very own special group, but he usually whores himself out on weekdays, and it makes me feel betrayed.

I would be like "Hey Pizza, what's up?" then I will walk in him and Woad & Fangs and he goes "It isn't what it looks like!", then I reply "What does it look like?", he goes "Er.. dunno, but I am just trying to get some info from him for this mafia game". I roll my eyes and go "Fine", then I open the cupboard and Seon is in there looking back out, waving. "What the... Pizza?", I turn to look at him and he goes "Oh, I was just saving him for later after I have done with Woad & Fangs".

I go to the bar and meet up with my drinking buddy, Furunculus, we are there chatting about politics as usual, but this day was special, he now became a green. I congratulate him with a drink, then Andres comes along from another group, "Now you are green, you are cool enough to drink with us, Furunculus!", who gets off his chair and goes off with them to the 'special' Belgium beer section. I ask Andres if I can come then he just laughs at me and walks off.

So I just wander the streets of the org, kicking tincan's, look inside the various shops.

When I looked at the EBtavern, a hand redirected to a sign which said "all members have to be too cool for school".
In another, pevergreen, reenk roink and beefy are acting out the badger badger badger dance.
In the french café, Louis the Fat was wearing high heels while Strike, built like an Ox, was sitting between french women slurping on wine.
In a brand new shop, Prussian Iron and Hooahguy set up "Helpless Lovers Non-anonymous", sitting awkwardly when women walk past.
I even tried wandering in the Org Church, where PVC and Rhyfelwyr were conducting the evening mass, but I was sent away for being too much of a sinner.
I even treaded through the Entrance house, then I was besieged by people in gimp masks not making much sense, so I ran away quickly.

Beskar cannot into cliques.

Beskar cannot into cliques.

That's right. And you never will into cliques!

I feel basically the same as the OP. Though I won't go into that much detail.

[Fisherking]

Hum, so would someone like to tell us who some of the members of this exclusive “Gentlemen’s’ Club” are?
I am sure most of us would really like to know who these powerbrokers and their cabal are. A few names maybe, so we could judge for our selves?

Andres! He stole my drinking buddy, and took him to the special Belgium beer section where exclusive 'Gentlemen Club' are, along with people with green names, like Fisherking, and peverGREEN.

More seriously, if you want to get friendly with people, talk to them. If there is a poster you really like, why not PM them, and try to build up a rapport? Sometimes it might not go anywhere far, it depends on the person, but those with similar interests or talk might be willing. I know I have tried with some posters and we haven't gotten far at all, and with others, I talk to on programs like MSN with them often since we built up a decent rapport.

There isn't much into cliques, but then I am not much of a clique person myself.

Also being a common gameroom player, there are many people I talk to regularly, like Pizza, Renata, Diamondeye, God Emperor, Johnhughthom, TheFlax, Beefy then there are non-mafia players like 'The Mad Arab', Husar, Miotas, etc. Even then, there have been game room players I felt I haven't really communicated that well with, so I don't really talk to them, then there are others ArpgiatteTHIS, etc, who are not around often due to real life circumstance.

[Strike For The South]

No one ever talks to me

Its lonely on top

bolox!!!

Do you thing Lemur and CR agree anymore now that they are green than the did before?

Or Louis? Depending on his meds he has trouble agreeing with himself.

The only thing the green guys have in common is responsibility that the rules are followed and to kick out spam bots that clutter the threads we all try to use.

ByzantinePrince, Navaros, Elmo, YoungYogiBear, and the notorious ringleader: DaveinKorea.

And those you think do fit in may also feel they do not. ...

Indeed. I've often felt that way, except maybe in the distance past when other STW MP friends were here. But it didn't keep me from just being me and participating in my way. I finally realized that at least some of my more serious posts weren't necessarily being ignored. Sometimes what you write is enough. On occasion, someone will acknowledge you for it. That does feel golden. I certainly appreciate it when that happens. But just because it doesn't, doesn't mean that people aren't appreciative, or that they disregard you and what you have to say. Now I just *shrug* and think to myself, 'well maybe someone hears, understands, and appreciates--maybe not. I've had my say,' and move on.

About the assertion that "nothing" is being done: there is a quite a lot going on that isn't readily apparent. Keep in mind that many if not most who serve on this site do so in their spare time, with jobs and families too. It's just gonna take some time, and a lot of effort, to actualize the visions that have been put forward. Consider according a little respect, as the staff does hear; staff does care (or why would they bother working here?!), and staff is doing what it can to move the Org forward, peu à peu.

I only remember you being in one game where some one first nighted you, but I invited and encouraged you to join in on other games, but you said you wasn't interested.
