^Misinterpretation. It happens. I can't read minds either.The Fonz wrote:1) You kinda contradicted yourself there, saying it was Ythan who was too lazy to go back and quote himself. That implies that the answers were there, and therefore Ythan was in the right.
The thought process I went through was this:
-He claims he answered the questions, which I'm not seeing.
-If he thought he answered the questions, why didn't he go back and quote what he thought to be the answer?
-He covers it up by labeling it as spoonfeeding to quote the answer he claims to have.
-I see this as hiding something because he refused to answer a question clearly.
He was attacking a totally non-threatening random vote. It got the activity going, but that's not necessarily pro-town.The Fonz wrote:2) Overly defensive is a scum argument. Also, to my mind, he wasn't defensive, he was attacking- trying to place pressure on a minor point to get the game going. This to my mind is slightly townish, as it reads as trying to create an argument to get the game going. I've also attacked players in the past for seemingly being unable to keep their story straight about their reasons for their random votes.On hiatus indefinitely. This was a nice distraction when I was working through my faith transition out of Mormonism, but I need to move on to bigger and better things now.

Never said it was.
That thing about shotty asking for meta surprised me- that's a first for him, period.
I'll be looking at your meta, also, however. Since that was brought to my attention..
Speaking of which, again, Ythan uses his spoonfeeding excuse in both alliances in the same way he's done Today. If you're going to call him scummy, don't do it through that.
I don't want to go any further until I get my Desktop back.This time, I'll not care.-

Funnily enough, having played on the site for three years, I have come across active lurking, but nonetheless, I do find your condescending douchiness refreshing. [/sarcasm]Zajnet wrote:
Umm, do you know what active lurking is? I've been straight up lurking because I've been out of town. Active lurking would be if I was posted on a regular basis, but with no content. Anyways, expect more later today.The Fonz wrote:At Netlava: Zajnet is the worst active lurker.
You've beenV/LAbecause you've been out of town. You know when I said 'The worst active lurker is V/LA?' That. I wasn't holding that against you, in fact, it's the reason I didn't vote you then (it's pointless trying to pressure someone who isn't there). What I am holding against you is your lack of content up to that point, and your attempt to pass your fence-sitting off as 'just my playstyle.' THAT is active lurking.

You'll have to forgive my tone this first post. It's far too upbeat and casual for you guys. But it'll be my only one like that. I promise. I need it to getintothe game, you know?
I like this logic.The Fonz wrote:unvote, vote netlava
I can't think of any protown benefit of answering that particular question. I can think of a problem (as Al pointed out). This suggests Netlava didn't really think about it very much, and just went for go with the flow approach.FoS Netlava

Yeah, I don't believe that one can make assessments on my playstyle that quickly. If you really like meta so much, you would have learned about the search feature by now.
Well, the wording kinda bothered me at first, but I can see what people are having problems with now.Well, pro or antitown is an opinion, so can't really be a mischaracterisation.

Bingo, and also the sentence or two of quote, sentence of response, another quote structure. Prox, bear in mind people HATE Mastin, and some are willing to policy lynch him just for being him because of the negative impact posts like that have on the game (although at least so far you have not shown the worst part of Mastin's game, that is, his tendency to repeat himself in slightly different wording). It would be helpful if your posts were more concise and kept to that info which is strictly relevant, for all our sakes.ekiM wrote:More the way he's made a massive wall of text, a lot of which seems to be irrelevant or trivial.

PREVIEW EDIT: Oh my. This hasn't happened before. But don't worry, my playstyle isn't anti-town in any obvious functions. Except:I do not role claim at L-1 unless sure of a hammer. Remember that for later. And, like I said, my first-post is more for me than for you, though in this way indirectly for you.
vote shotty: you get my first vote because you might be town, but right now you suck and look...disingenuous. But I read you as a lazy town who doesn't want to go through the effort of trying. Fix this.
@Netlava:
Why not?Netlava wrote:No, I don't disagree.
That doesn't mean you should support it the proposal. I call this bull.Netlava wrote:Blatantly anti-town? That seems like a mischaracterization. I was about to answer the question, but then decided to see if there were any objections first.

I'm not liking how Ythan is refusing to (basically) defend himself calling it spoonfeeding. Recapping is NOT spoonfeeding. I'd say spoonfeeding is more like building someone else's case for them. You're obviously hiding something.
This post doesn't make sense. So you do think Ythan was just dodging the question or that he was too lazy to go back and find them or too...

How is it protown to publicly narrow down the possibilities of who the vigilante(s) might be?
Also, wouldn't it have been easier to just go ahead and quote the post you knew you already made or at least restate what you had already said rather "I've already said this"?

This reminds me of Netlava not putting much thought into his posts.Ythan wrote:I was uncertain, which is why I asked. I had a hunch it might not be ideal so instead of coming out and asking I did that.
But you didn't speculate about how rolefishing would make the town's vigilante(s) more obvious?Ythan wrote:

He didn't explain the purpose of his speculation, which is what I wanted to know. He said 'I would know how players act, which would help my speculation' which simply begs the question.Prox wrote: Why do you insist that Al make up a reason for his random vote? What is going through your head?
Ythan wrote:Knowing how players in this game would act as a vigilante, a role whose actions are immediately apparent if successful, would aid in my speculation. I was trying to narrow it down but in this complicated setup that really won't be fruitful for some time.THERE IT IS! THE REASON YTHAN ROLEFISHED. HE ACTUALLY DID ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Standing on principle, which is something I've done loads of times, like when I refuse to answer a question because I believe it is stupid, even if I know full well the questioner is going to keep pressing me and find me scummy for it.Prox wrote:Also, wouldn't it have been easier to just go ahead and quote the post you knew you already made or at least restate what you had already said rather "I've already said this"?
Oh, and I really don't think he backtracked. He said 'I want to work out how people would act as vigs, this would help my setup speculation.' I then basically asked 'Why were you speculating about the setup in the first place?' and his answer was essentially 'Oh, no reason.' That's retarded, but it's not a contradiction. It basically asks us to assume that Ythan had a curiosity about the setup entirely unrelated to his win condition (he wanted to know as much about the setup just because) and either didn't care about or didn't realise the impact it would have on his win condition. I find that implausible, but I find a lot about Ythan implausible. People are strange sometimes.-

I thought it was obvious that he wanted to narrow down who might and might not be vigilante so he could find out the VVVVV's or whatever. Or did I misinterpret?
But could you, ah, wait to respond to the parts of my post directed at specific people until they respond to them?This time, I'll not care.-

We know there are an even number of V's, and so we know there is a vig in the game. People giving away hints as to whether they are the vig or not does not help ascertain whether it's vv or vvvv.Prox wrote:I thought it was obvious that he wanted to narrow down who might and might not be vigilante so he could find out the VVVVV's or whatever.

Not if I think the answer is utterly obvious to any third party paying attention.But could you, ah, wait to respond to the parts of my post directed at specific people until they respond to them?
