Honestly I just wanted a place to say "worse tactics than Jurgen Klinsmann", but if you think these threads are bad for the game I won't make any more in the future. I had no idea you felt that way.
It's a feeling that's been growing over the years. Once I finally had some situations where I needed to delete or edit posts because I thought they were crossing a line in a dead player still playing, that's when I found myself starting to get leery of Dead Threads and hoping a player wouldn't post something needing moderation again because I really don't like deleting a person's post. Plus, a lot of times with our recent games, they don't get used that much.
That's why I didn't make one for the Animal Kingdom game I hosted previously. We had such a long period of inactivity before that game, I was hoping players might have forgotten about it and it seemed to work out alright for the first three days or so but then a couple people did remember it and brought it up. I explained my reasoning to them at the time and we did play that game without it and it seemed to work out fine but the other hosts after me all had one so the Dead Thread tradition seems to be staying alive.
I wasn't going to bother with one again this game also but then you made one. I laughed to myself that, of course, the one player who had to be eliminated is the one with the most mod powers who could just make the Dead Thread himself which is fine since the first one eliminated often made the thread in the Funhouse days of this game so the tradition continues. If I really wanted to, I could have deleted it after you posted it and explained why but I decided to just let it be since some do like it. I was just hoping that it wouldn't cause any problems and fortunately, for awhile, it seemed to prove my theory that it isn't needed since it wasn't being used. Until it was used. However, maybe I'm just more sensitive to Dead Thread posting than other users since I have had to deal with issues stemming from it in the past. Admittedly, I've let Thatguy get away with some stuff that is crossing the line of unwritten rules in Pokepal's games because it appealed to me so it's not like I'm always correct or in the right on Mafia matters and maybe this is a case where I should learn to stop worrying and love the
bomb Dead Thread.
