But what's to stop everyone for killing me again for some stupid offense they shouldn't know about without me getting a roll for it? Why should I play the game, when I do so at the pleasure of all you jerks?
Because we wouldn't do the same thing again now that we know how serious this is for you.
C'mon guys...drop the armed nukes and probable malevolent ulterior motives.
While I won't speak on another's behalf, I'm fairly certain that nobody had any 'malevolent ulterior motives'. I didn't, at least. It was just a (failed, apparently) attempt at creating some fun for fellow audience members. If you were really that attached to that guy, you should've been more clear about it (I really did think 'Use Magic Dope Slap technique' indicated you were down for some silliness). I'll be sure to ask permission for full blown murder first next time (though that does kinda defeat the purpose, doesn't it?)
So yeah, I can offer no more than sincere apologies at this point, and I hope you can continue to enjoy the game.
I do think we need to cut down on the audience behavior a lot. The audience is not the game, the audience is *watching* the game. Audience actions should be restricted to interactions with the game, with actions like murdering fellow audience members either outright ignored or completely lacking a penalty to the victim. The audience isn't the competitors. I don't even think of them as being the *next* competitors. They're just mysterious observers whose only relationship with the competitors is that they'll occasionally shoot them for no reason, and that for some reason they give all of their money to a competitor the same day the observer mysteriously disappear from the audience
Sure, if PW tells us to shut up and sit down, then we will, no doubt about it.
