Meh, it's all good. I just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to spin the thread... but it looks like your notes and your follow-up post are similar enough to forgive. I do think, though, that the Notes utility above might be a better place to do that sort of thing in the future, assuming you can't keep a spreadsheet or other doc. Anyway, issue over, moving on.ting =) wrote:I'm sorry if it annoyed you. Posting was the fastest way for me to save my notes at the time.
I continued the conversation long after it should've ended because I was being attacked and nitpicked over what I believe was an understandable reason to vote someone in the very early game. Since then the logic for the vote became less valid, as I conceded in a later post, which is when I let the entire thing go... or tried to, anyway. My initial attack was exploratory, and then as the debate went on I became defensive and was offended by a couple of comments that were made. (I am not a fan of inflammatory posting or spin-doctoring, as you may have already ascertained... and, for the record, I'm still slightly suspicious of the "Dourscum" crap from back then. I don't see how that sort of thing can possibly be "accidental.")ting =) wrote:These two dominated the early discussion, but I'm really not sure what to make of it. They were arguing about GIEFF's lack of a random vote till well into page 4. While I think that was a valid enough reason for pressure early on, I have no idea why they dragged it on for so long. How serious were you two about the early discussions? Were the attacks just exploratory and meant for gaining information about others, or would you have been willing to follow the votes to a lynch?
When I posted above that I'm not entirely comfortable with the current wagon, it's because of one thing: the wagon was being aggressively led by GIEFF, who I had a bad feeling about from way back at that initial vote. My logic for the vote may not have remained bulletproof, but the feeling is still there. Furthermore, I have a similar read to ting's on Panzer and myko's "lies" in the thread. I believe in "Lynch All Liars" as a general rule, but in this instance it feels like we're talking about people being pushed into poorly thought-out answers rather than outright lies. And who did the pushing? GIEFF. Imagine that.
