Max posted:No I didn't understand it either since it looked like you had very little to say about moat beyond the fact that they were weird when your read of me seemed stronger. While your post was strange as pointed out by Serious Keane, and confirmed by me I felt that moat' s joke phase play had been more indicative of scum behavior that I've experienced in past. Involved enough to joke about all the goings on. But not actively contributing. Present enough to be relevant at a glance and that's more telling imo. I feel like I play with another handbook than most of you all.

Atomic Soda posted:sure "Thank you for your clarifications. They are appreciated." And I mean it too. It is always to the guild's benefit when we share the methods we use to arrive to our conclusions. What is obvious to one set of eyes may be invisible to another. Yet privately I disagree with the implications of this response. Atomic Soda derives a negative tone from what I would instead characterize as a somewhat jovial acceptance of a claim. Podima's advice to be cautious of investigation results struck me as prudent for the situation, so I wonder why AS frames this instead as searching for extra knowledge beyond what has been presented. If anything the accusation is itself revealing, leading me to question the wisdom of making it at all. Finally I am perplexed by how AS can claim to disagree with a question asking for clarification, or for that matter how such a disagreement says anything substantial about Podima beyond that there is a disagreement. Should Podima not have noted the apparent discrepancy? In short, it seems I still do not see the malicious intent in Podima's statements even when presented in the worst light possible. I am once again left pondering how Atomic Soda could have arrived at these interpretations naturally.

Atomic Soda posted:i thought my follow-up was reasonably clear, but again i'm suss of him because of the tone of response to yami plus possible fishing, and trying to make something of something that wasn't there re: aa. My case is that you don't actually explain why Pod is scum. TNL just said it in many flowery words, but you disagreed with him about making a miller claim, but don't say why that makes him scummy. You also disagreed with his read of AA's case, when he asked about some confusing wording (which I also got tripped up on and had to re-read to understand, which is why I clarified it for him). These are things you disagree with Pod about, but why does that make him scum? What about his tone did you find scummy? How was he fishing?

Podima posted:Hey Sal why'd you unvote Monathin here in response to the miller claim? Seems unrelated. I momentarily confused Miller with Bus Driver. Plus my vote for Mona was a joke. I had planned to vote Yami which is why I unvoted.

Atomic Soda posted:i'm always interested in who asks. its day one, i'm not claiming this is some air tight slam dunk, but i think it's worth a vote. i agree the aa post was not easier to read. I find these comments suspect for several reasons. AS simultaneously acknowledges Podima's defense of her accusations but then repeats those accusations to anotherr without any sign of taking Podima's defense to account. When challenged to explain why Atomic Soda's accusations speak at all to alignment, AS instead simply repeats them verbatim, as if unwilling or unable to explore them further. AS offers two very disposable, unexplained reads of others here and ends the statement disparaging Asiina's vote and implying Asiina needs to post opinions of others. It is as if Atomic Sofa offered up these quick opinions solely to accuse Asiina of not having done the same. An assassin should always trust their instincts. Mine are telling me to ##unvote ##vote Atomic Soda

Max posted:Hmm, but it does. Max posted:I don't agree that Podima was fishing there and meta wise I know he just thinks claiming miller is lame and is alignment neutral for him. "It seems you came to a similar conclusion Asiina did regarding this accusation. Why then did you disagree entirely with her case?" To me it seems that Atomic Soda's case would be faulty and alignment neutral independent of who had made those original statements, but Max has instead presented this as if he thinks the case is only invalid based on his unique prior experiences with Podima, and would otherwise be fine. I am curious to hear which parts of the original case he thought did speak to alignment.

Podima posted:This jumped out at me from IS' post, which is also guilty of a bunch of quotes/words without a lot of actual game content. Feels like forcing themselves to put something out there. Hmmm. Can you explain why my comment on TNL jumped out at you over a similar comment that you glossed over? Asiina posted:That's a lot of words I don't feel like reading. (I thought I remembered someone else other than Asiina, too, but can't find the post at the moment). Re: "not a lot of actual game content"- no, probably not, but it's D1 (a day I notoriously hate) and I'm trying to point out things that ping me where I can. Atomic Soda posted:i'm also a little suss of sober. Care to explain more? Max posted:I'm OK with Keane's gotcha since there wasn't much else to go on at the time, and is fairly standard fare for early day 1 casing. If that's your opinion of it, cool. I'll state for the record that I feel like I dial in on being suspicious of Keane early across multiple games, so if no one else sees it at the moment I'll just file it away for later.

"Considering this, might it be possible for us to view an accurate count of current votes?" It occurs to me that I did not remember the guild having an organizing butler type figure to guide us along when I had initially joined. Perhaps this suspicious individual is the real master assassin..? I blink. There is no one before me. What had I just been thinking about? I can no longer remember.

Got home from work, read through the thread, here's my current opinion: A lot of nullreads, really. People are jumping at nothings right now, in my opinion, but I don't really see them suspicious over that yet. I will not be around at the deadline either, since that is 4 am for me. Now, lets talk content.There's something that struck out to me immediately, and it's... AA. Specifically, this post: quote:For obvious reasons this is suspicious, but as voiced... it's one of their earlier posts so they did the safe and right play it truly a miller, but still... a low suspicion for obvious reasons. What I am reading, between the lines here, is a fairly big lack of commitment to their reads. "This guy is maybe suspicious. That guy is maybe suspicious. This post looks a bit weird. That guy is a bit weird. I don't understand where the moat vote comes from at all. The "meta read" seems like a flimsy excuse to vote someone with just as little commitment as the earlier reads. It's d1, calling people out over not contributing feels a bit too early to me. I really do not like AA's current content currently showcase. My vote remains on him. As a side note I don't see where the AS votes are coming from. Especially asiina's looks far too easy of a vote to me. I don't like the circumstances behind that vote. at least TNL had a proper case, asiina's looks like a bandwagon to me.

Speaking of which, your posting style kind of reminds me of AA. A bunch of words (propped up by quotes making it appear more than it actually is) that don't do much except low-commitment jumping on choice phrases. Hmm.

She also followed it up with actual pointed questions at people and isn't letting them off the hook. That reads town to me, so I'm being more generous with her post.

Hmm, I forgot about Sal and BK entirely. I'd put them at even footing with Bow in that case. Monathin checked in just before I did so I'm sitting and waiting there, and Keane I think did enough earlier that I wouldn't feel comfortable dunking him atm, plus I know he has a work schedule.
