Why do you need me to specifically make that statement when I've answered it in spirit.

Like, if someone truncated that statement to "I'm town, 'x' is town," would that satisfy you, or would you ask them to rephrase it exactly the way you have asked?

I'm just trying to figure out how you think set-up speculation is in any way useful, especially on D1 when there are multiple other tangents to pursue. It's just a little pointless and distracting, friend. :)

You're being awkward and self-conscious about the whole thing. It's not so much about posting the statement, as much as it is about you avoiding an issue that could have been really easily resolved for no apparent reason.

"Hi, I have a good track record and now I will speculate on how many people are here publicly for no reason." <- I don't understand the impetus for making that post aside from wanting to create content for the sake of looking helpful.

To me, it looks like Keane is playing a variation of the Synx Gambit (1), which I don't see as harmful. I don't understand what you mean by it "speculat[ing] on how many people are here for no reason," because the point seems to be getting reactions out of people.

No, I was talking about Gamer's "I'm here and ready to talk about how many scum may be in this game." statement, which I just kinda voted him for.
