Russians vs. Americans: A Werewolf Game for October 2015

[a500lbgorilla]

Completely separately from the actual discussion at hand:

Why is it that only rilla's opinion matters as far as the chat being hidden, whereas BID's opinion that he want's the chat shared is not equally valid? Both were wolves. Both are equally passionate. What is the missing factor which chooses which opinion dominates?

I have a few half thoughts but I'd hear you out first.

I don't see the connection between this post and the one you quoted.

What are the answers to the questions I posed?

I.e.: What rule is being used to resolve the conflict between two players on the same team who want something different?

If it's as simple as, "rilla's the WW forum mod, and BID is not, so rilla gets what he wants," then I am disappointed, but at least I understand.

No, I will not blindly speculate as to what makes one wolf's opinion more important than another wolf's opinion in baudib's mind.

I can assume that you have a reason why your opinion matters more than BID's.
I can assume BID has a reason why his opinion matters at least as much as yours.

I know JKDS weighed in on what he would do in baudib's position.

I am curious as to what swayed baudib's mind, though.
What is the guideline which he used to determine which of these two disagreeing parties wins out?

I find it notable that you were playing as a wolf this game. I would find your arguments significantly more compelling if this were not the case. I.e. if you were a villager this game and you were making the request to keep the wolf chat private, then I would not find your own arguments to - at least some degree - stem from a position of entitlement.

Really?

Your question wasn't a question at all, then.

Very clearly stated questions.

The answer was: because BID was complacent with the decision during the discussion. It was only after the fact that he changed his mind.

Man, these seem rather weaponized to me. I'm willing to wade into the muck and discuss what I see, but you're bearing teeth right now.

I don't think mod status has any part of this discussion whatsoever. That's not what's going on here. If it were aubrey who wanted to keep her wolfing private, I'd feel exactly the same about it and I assume everyone else would. That it's rilla and not aubrey is irrelevant.
