When I adopted the Unspoil strategy, by announcing it was risky I was accepting the probability that people would fail to understand and attempt to join together to narrate it as something it isn't. I prepared for that and dealt with it and continue to deal with it as part of the strategy. Nothing is failing and people are being pre-evangelized, even though you don't see it.
If you mean I responded to another member here differently when he started responding to me differently, that did happen, that's not part of a Swamp Rangers or Unspoil strategy but part of human relations. (I won't mention his name because he hasn't replied to me since I offered him a ceasefire.) But please review the conversation. Somebody suggests we restart roundtables and I naturally check on the current mod and announce there is none. That somebody considers and rejects himself for mod and starts talking about modding in general and I finally bite and say I could mod as well. That somebody then ravingly endorses me for mod and I demur and say it would require community support and I would go to Meta about it. Shortly afterward, that somebody discovers he doesn't like my strategy and disacknowledges the whole conversation, and so I back off from self-promotion while still seeking, like any contributor, to gage the community's interest.
If you think my making public a discussion about lack of mods, or my describing my ability to mod after another person described his, or my promoting myself after another person promoted me, are a strategy of some sort, you must be inferring that I had a goal in mind and failed to meet that goal. But I don't set longterm goals like that, I just take the step fitting to the moment. God reveals what's in the longterm, one step at a time. I get what I need. The Unspoil strategy describes itself as irrespective of whether I mod a community or not, modship is not part of it at all. I'm disappointed that you're joining in the voices that are shocked, shocked that I'm not what they wanted me to be, but always being what I am is fine for me.
Mabye stick to destroying fake beliefs without making any mentions of mods, modding, or anything related.
Been doing that for 3 weeks at Conspiracies, pretty much, except for playing catchup with others who are making mention wrongly.
Say it with me: "My Hindenburg Blimp strategy failed so I'll use a different one."
