A&W,
I posted this thread as fluff, a diversion. It was intended for CoCo, not aimed at anyone on the game thread. I was not whining about the game, it was just an anecdote. After all, It is only a game.
You did not post on this thread to promote peace, you posted here to stir up crap and play a martyr.
I did not go into histrionics as you did on the game thread. For someone to be as supposedly shaken as you claimed to be, within a couple of hours it was as if nothing had happened. WTF?
Yeah, you PM'ed me, apologizing while telling me I was too rough on you. If that is an apology, I think I would rather be cussed out.
If you recall, I called you the first day of the game when things were heating up, and in our conversation you gave me no indication that there was a problem. You were the one that taught me to play the game aggresively. You came after me with both barrels in the first game. I found it funny! I enjoyed playing, and that's why I thought I would do it again this time.
I tried to call you after your meltdown to see if you were alright. I was available to talk last night if you wanted to, but apparantly you did not. You would rather take cheap shots at me in PM's, text messages, and here so that you can garner sympathy.
I really do not understand. I thought that we were friends. Heck, I even baked you cheesecake!
There is a reason I stayed away from the game this time. I explained it to Jackie like this:

| Message | Thank you for pulling me out of the game. This is the first I have been online since posting earlier on the new game. I didn't know that I would be included in this one without signing up again. I apologize if that made things worse for you!
This game means a lot more to others in JWD that it does to me. Apparently I upset Xxxxx, and she seems to live for playing it. So I will not be playing anymore so as not to ruin her fun. I am not upset or anything, I just feel bad that I hurt her feelings.
What I do not understand is why people get upset. I mean IT IS A GAME. And it is also a VIOLENT game. People get killed right and left. Everything is make believe, so why should anyone take this stuff personal? Xxxxx and I have met and are friends in real life, and I would have assumed that she would have called me if she were really upset about my comments. I thought that her complaining was part of her strategy to take the heat off of her in the game. Some people take this way too seriously!
Anyway, thanks for your help, and I hope this game goes well for everyone!
