The walls are piling up. Time for time management.
ResponsesI described it as milking because you did multiple things before I ever posted to frame my relationship to the thread around the wagon on me and nothing else - voting me, asking for an immediate reaction to the wagon, and then talking to Lenglon about his vote on me. This has more or less continued since (e.g. the question to Persus and your responses to me). It's also been my previous experience here that people will for some reason sort of shrug at the actual posts I make (maybe due to formatting?) and hyper-focus on anything that has to do with votes.
Tea: Alright, I think I understand your position here. You are uncomfortable not so much with the vote as with my treatment of this as a noteworthy event, one that generates reactions worth looking at. Treatment, I will say, that was more successful here at generating worthwhile interactions than in any of my prior games.
What's interesting here is your highlighting of the question to Persus as part of the milking. Let's
look back at it for a moment. It is quite clear from the context that Persus was reacting to the wagon (
as he confirmed). Do you believe his reaction was not worth examining?
Also, a quick question: had the RVS wagon been on TolyK instead of you, would you be similarly uncomfortable?
Curious about using flabort's reaction is what I meant.
Ah. The title was interesting, but there was little about Webadict's behaviour to look into either before or after the start of D1, and before, I had almost no context whatsoever for the role of themes. The idea to reveal my theme and use it as RVS fodder? That I came up with on the fly, with full awareness of my role PM.
You know, there's something remarkable about your line of questioning. You've asked a lot of questions about the design of my first post. Alright. Most people question me to figure out my alignment from my posts. Your questions, however, seem aimed somewhere very different. You do a lot of cross-examination-style questioning, yes-no questions with a clear intended response.
Was your wall of questions written in the order that you posted it in?
Here, you expected a "yes," the answer that would indicate the least thought and care put into my first post. You didn't get the answer you expected. You got, essentially, "no." You were skeptical. Your response was to cast doubt on the extent to which I put thought and care into the order:
Considering Pozzai was already at the bottom of the playerlist I'm not sure why him ending up in that spot took that much more thought for you?
Then there is this question:
...Even though you posted before the game was rolled here, you weren't curious about flabort's reaction until after reading your role PM? Because I felt like that was really the meat of what you decided to include about your claim - using that pregame information as a jumping off point to create RVS information.
Here, your skepticism is aimed at the idea that my decisions, particularly my theme reveal, were built on post-PM thinking, and the question is meant to help show that my decisions were built on unaligned thinking.
You seem remarkably uninterested in figuring out how my alignment is reflected in my behaviour. Instead, you're working hard to disconnect the two, trying to explain my behaviour away as built on unaligned thought and minimizing the influence of my role PM.
So,
Tea, consider this the point where my vote shifts from RVS stuff to being something serious. What have you learned from your questions?
Have you gotten the chat link or whatnot?

Do you think doll is performing a similar gambit? If so, why?
Fallacy: I have the chat link. Quicktopic. I think doll is trying to generate some activity, but at another level, doll wants to use powers and have the chance to use them. Cool set, and a D1/N1 burst means they would definitely get to be used. Legitimately resigned to death, and legitimately will die (whether by suicide or angry mob). This certainly isn't the first deadly point system in a Wuba BYOR, so the role is credible.
Everyone: What're y'all impressions of me! :3 Am I a magnet yet. Please treat me as a magnet. [1]
Jack A T: Why do you BYOR D: [2]

In all seriousness; Jack, how do you feel about my response to you, and to everyone noted here? [3]
Tiruin:
[1]:
Tiruin waited. The grounds of Rideau Hall, official home of the Canadian monarch, were quiet. Almost still. Almost. Earlier efforts by the mafia (non-Quebecois) had failed, but she knew they were returning.
All was almost still, but only almost. A few blades of grass shifted oddly. A Heraldic Authority office chair creaked slightly. They were coming. They had returned.
The signs had all been there. Another dead internet addict. Another penguin in the wrong climate. Another signup sheet, sixteen names long this time. Tiruin knew. Tiruin knew all too well.
As the mobsters raided her living quarters, though, she could do nothing, for the Tiruin in Rideau Hall was...a fridge magnet. Dun dun dun.[2]: 'tis fun.
[3]: You took the RVS question first and foremost as a joke, and responded accordingly. Fits with your personality, and was what I expected. The softclaim has been noted; you will have a fun time at massclaim. Beyond that...not sure what you are looking for with the second half of your question. Please clarify.
Content beyond responses later.
