*yawns*
I realize that my content yesterday was lacking and I had no votes down, but shock and amaze, I pretty explicitly I was going to be gone all day tomorrow. So please, quit acting shocked or whatever. It is fine and dandy to vote me for lurking, but you all are acting like I didn't give warning about this either.
Otter... learn to read, perhaps? Obviously I was having some trouble with analysis (I was fairly obviously returning to the post constantly to try and get something), which seems kind of silly to keep drawing attention to if I was scum. I was making an effort, it just wasn't panning out. Then, obviously, I haven't had a chance to look at things since Fnorder bit the bullet.
Ciato...
Andrew has had crazily little presence in the game. He switches votes a lot, latches onto Corwin and then smodge and then it stays there, basically not existing. Day 2 he's all like "I'm going to attack the lurkers. Maybe!"... um... wow. One thing he does say is making a complete 180 on his view on the argument between Otter and me, despite nothing actually happening in that time! He says we feel like townies arguing, and then he tries to vaguely waggle fingers at both of us. It kinda feels like he's trying to add content artificially?
Impressive number of misrepresentations and contradictions in a single analysis. I switch votes a lot (which, to be strictly clear, was three times after the mistake on Excal: onto another (which I formatted wrong), onto Corwin for the hypocrisy and Smodge for his faulty logic)! ...but I only latch onto two people? I make a complete 180 on her and Otter when nothing new has happening! ...by looking closer at the arguments and bringing up things I stated I've seen earlier in the topic to keep them fresh in mind? Furthermore, you make it sound like a bad thing that I saw something scummy and stick with it. Admittedly, I did lack a bit of content after that, but that is because most of the conversation was Smodge, myself or lurker related. I simply didn't have a lot to say there.
I don't say I'm going to attack the lurkers, maybe. I say that I'm going to be gone all day and don't want to put a vote down when I won't have the opportunity to manipulate it for a while, so I toss out a strong warning in place of that to make it clear what I was intending without having a vote stuck out there that I can't change.
Corwin... tosses out a vote for me that I'm not seeing an explanation for besides "admit your role, go on, do it!" so if you could clarify your accusations before I do, I'd appreciate it.
Kilga's posting habits are a bit lackluster, but he has thrown down some decent looking material today.
Nitori is still generally slim on the content, which is bothersome.
At this point, where stuff has happened, I'm starting to actually quite uneasy about Otter and Ciato. On top of essentially ignoring my post and misrepresenting what I have actually posted, they really do seem to be limiting their hunt/s fairly exxclusively to lurkers and posting large chunks of fairly... neutral analysis. Looking back through, it partly occurs to me why I was having so much trouble with day two posting. They were saying lots of things, but not really saying anything that felt particularly meaningful. They both jump on me for lurker attention, when they've basically been doing the same thing, just supplementing it with a lot more words that may or may not be useful to, as Ciato put it, "add content artificially."
This also makes their initial skirmish look a lot darker obviously as, yeah, they both were getting written off for acting like themselves and even I fell into the trap of, for that reason, generally feeling like it was a townie vs townie argument. It did the exact opposite of really obfuscate the arguments, and instead placed the two of them in direct opposition (which totally mellowed out) and got people to generally wave it off.
Out of the two at the moment, Ciato's reasoning for voting me is relying on contradictory claims and outright misrepresentation outside of anything related directly towards low posting though. As such...
##Vote: Ciato
