2.718:
in
182, he declares that
nothing
is worth his attention. I mean, what exactly was the purpose of this post? To prod dodge? Or is it more along the lines of “hey I probably could gamesolve, but it’s just not worth my time”? Whatever the case, it certainly didn’t contribute anything. Blatant active lurking and apathy.
And then in
215, he asks “everyone else” to get some wagons going because he finds the game to be getting “boring”. So rather than doing something productive himself, he is simply expecting
everyone else
to produce content. Again, blatant active lurking and apathy.
In
231, instead of helping to gamesolve he gives excuses for why he
isn’t
helping to gamesolve. Blatant active lurking and apathy.
Toranaga:
In
190, he literally admits to not having any interest in this game and blames it on everyone else. Again, a case of someone expecting everyone else to make the game interesting, rather than producing meaningful content themselves. Blatant active lurking and apathy.
In
192 he namedrops me, Sesq, and 2.718 as his scumreads, only to say that he could case all of us,
if only
he had the motivation to do so. He’s carrying himself with this “I don’t give a shit about this game, but if I did I could easily gamesolve the whole thing” attitude. Blatant active lurking and apathy.
218 and
241 are just fluffposts.
In
243, he once again reinforces his lack of motivation in this game. Blatant active lurking and apathy.
Sesq:
He votes for me in
222, with no explanation other than “Yeah, I can see that”. Then in
249, he declares that he might as well vote for me because, hey, he didn’t have any of his own scumreads anyways. What is he trying to say here, that he doesn’t think for himself and try to gamesolve, but rather just goes with the flow? Blatant active lurking and apathy.
We’ve got multiple people who are engaged in blatant active lurking and complete apathy towards this game, and yet I’m the first one to even bring it up in this post. Why is that?
