Wow. Thank you for that Stream of Consciousness version of "The Show So Far", Pandar. I'll try to unravel a few bits for analysis and clarification.
Zathras tries to use my schooling as a stand-in for a real attack, keeps vote on Spade for "scummy vibes."
No, not your schooling. Your lurking. Those are not synonyms; even if you use the one as an excuse for the other, it's still merely an excuse. And I'm calling you out not just on lurking, but on lurking specifically when you had said your strategy was to maintain "everyone"'s activity. This reeks of a cover, flakiness or hypocrisy. Pick one.
As for as Spade, more on this below. Your lurking first:
Breadbocks says "all but one" of my posts are fluff, then quotes:
-1 primary post
-2 posts calling out him and Zathras as scumlike.
-2 posts explaining why I was absent and that no amount of yelling at me or even voting me would get me back in at that point.
I don't think you two really disagree. There is indeed one primary post (non-fluff), two about school (fluff, yes?), and two
one sentence brainfarts that you consider gems of scumhunting, while he considers fluff. The problem is that these
five freaking posts, at least 40% of which are indisputably fluff were all your contributions to the game so far. Sure, his numbers are more bogus than a turtle's placenta, but you're not giving the thread much material to work with... or am I wrong? Hadn't your entire contribution to the game at this point been: one post + 40% fluff + two one-sentence "calling out as scumlike" gems/brainfarts?
But anyway. I find the defence of your lurking scummy and insufficient, but I wouldn't hang you just for that. No. You (and Spade) will hang for this:
Spade is posting but nothing he has said stood out to me as scumlike or townlike because he hasn't actually talked about THIS game, like, at all. Ever. His post about Org, facetious or not, is still meaningless.
Spade realizes he was being derp, so nevurr mind about that... except he apologizes then doesn't scumhunt after. FFFFFFFUUUUUUU-
Guys, please address with regard to this point of Pandar:
a) isn't not talking about the game a scumtell in itself? Wouldn't someone else doing that strike you at least as a bit suspicious?
b) Isn't the fact that Pandar
doesn't find it suspicious, when, I think,
all other players do, a bit suspicious as well?
c) Rhetorical: Isn't it interesting that the meaningless smoke bomb did derail the thread and distract us, precisely when Pandar's lurking was becoming
most suspicious? And that he specifically calls it neither "scumlike or townlike" when it's said by Spade?
Note that Pandar also says, about bread's analysis: "inexplicably deciding my so-called lack of non-fluff posts is more scummy than Spade's much worse lack."... So, Spade's worse lack is scummier than yours? So it
is scummy? So how come you get no tells at all, either "scumlike or townlike"?
Spade and Pandar are each scummy enough on their own, but this last point makes the Spade/Pandar pair inescapable, I think.
My verdicts are as thus:
Toaster is town. He's done the most work to keep this thread railed and the discussion relevant.
Zathras is the godfather. Breadbocks is throwing a fit trying to get either your votes on me or my vote off him because they are the scumteam, though I'm not totally certain Zathras is the godfather.
I'm not surprised you vote me, since I'm riding your ass about your "forcing people to be active", and your mutual shielding with Spade. Although I'm not actually voting you (Spade is scummier in my book), this reeks of OMGUS, doesn't it? Isn't that in the HOOG or whatever?
Anyway, as you say, cite your actual scumtells please. In that verborrheic avalanche avalanche of yours, I could only find these:
- I picked lame RV questions (which I grant -- they were lame)
- I voted you. No, wait, I didn't. I voted your scumbuddy. Yeah.
Are there any more? Maybe this?
Zathras almost rerails the thread. Breadbocks promptly forces it back off. Zathras attempts to rerail again, posts about my absence.
Is this, in your mind, a scumtell? Or merely a non sequitur? Or just part of your "The Show So Far" performance?
PPE: Just realized Zathras is trying very hard not to OMGUS me despite claiming I'm the one consistent link his scum theories (Spade/me and Bread/me) have. This is a HOOG scumtell.
Spade/you is my only theory. The Bread/you was me trying to make sense of Toaster's post, which didn't quite parse, and I'm always willing to entertain and evaluate all ideas. If you see the end of that post, I clearly said it's Spade and You. But no, I'm not clearing breadbox, or Toaster. As far as I actually
know, any of you lot may be scum; but my two first picks are
Spade and
Pandarsenic. That's my best guess, interpretation and analysis, which is the best one can do in this game, yes? Or are you claiming that you know
for sure?
Also, I have no clue what the HOOG is. Linky please.
