Kairyuu:
In answer to your question, I wanted the debate dropped because it seemed frivolous at the beginning, and I've seen town get distracted and derailed by such long, sustained arguments before, to their detriment. However: I admit, your reasons for continuing are technically sound, even if I doubt the value of continuing. I can certainly see you're not planning to stop, so I will continue. Btw, I do see the value in making people take a stance. That said, I can't decide if you're opportunistic scum who's latched on like a piranha, or really zealous town, and its bothering me.
If there's another relevant question I'm missing, please ask it again. I don't mean to ignore anything (since I am going to the effort of continuing this debate, after all) I just don't see what else you're asking.
malthusis: your sentence in 175 was a bit confusing. Are you suggesting that the note has little to do with alignment, or the other way around?
MSSK: you have yet to answer my question from earlier.
Me in 177 wrote:MSSK: are you sure you don't consider any of the debates going on right now relevant to the game? What's your take?
tajo: it sure seemed like you asserted scum didn't get the list. It sounds like you consider Vi scum, is that about right? Also, what's your current stance on the note? Do you think scum began with it, or no?
(Also, on the thesis topic, I had the opportunity to write a 12 page final paper on Ghost in the Shell for my Gothic Lit class. It was an enjoyable paper to write, and I don't usually say that.)
