Writing out a post and doing some previews, but I spotted something that irritates the gently caress out of me:


Max posted:

It doesn’t, especially given him specifically pointing out he’s not 3p.

Hey, buddy, I saw that edit in the grace period. Knock that poo poo right the gently caress off.

(for the record, he fixed "3p" when it originally said "2p")

I'll tell you what I think of (merk's case) ...

Okay, so two main arguments here, from the looks of it:

Point 1: the use of "take a chill pill" and "jumping at shadows" does not directly correlate to my thoughts on alignment. You can still (appear to) be scum and freaking out or jumping at shadows. Not that I believe Rhj is scum any more, but that's a different matter entirely.

Point 2: The second post contains information you feel like I should have put in my first post. I don't believe so -- I think the first post stands on its own merits as written, and the second post was written in response to Rhj asking for elaboration as opposed to out of the blue.

I feel like this is some weak-rear end poo poo to pull right before a deadline, especially on somebody who wasn't a candidate, and especially when you've been pretty much shitposting the entirety of the day to fulfill some vague claimed role. You can still contribute and post more, and you've been around long enough to know this. So why not contribute with your quad posts with small thoughts instead of really bad australian accent jokes? Yeah, yeah, you're at work and I'm screaming into the void, but come on.

##vote merk because like gently caress I'm no-lynching even with a scum down.

Toalpaz posted:

If this had happened earlier I'd be down to lunch you. This is your 5th post in 4 days. Same with RF honestly.

Yeah, gently caress me for having real life obligations basically boiling down to "stop being a massive piece of poo poo or there are going to be repercussions", am I right?

I'll say this much: I probably could have posted more yesterday but I got horribly busy at work and then went out and got drunk due to said day at work. I'm also now on vacation for an entire week, so I'll be more active in the days to come.

Preview add-on(s):

Sure but a simple “I’m town” works. Why bring it up at all?

this is a valid point

And I'm also aware this is a REALLY small thing to point out but when "no editing" has been a rule since the goddamn Stone Age of Internet Mafia, I feel like even a small typo like this should be corrected with a mafia edit/EBWOP.

I can't prove this and I'm not like asking for mod intervention or anything, but I swear I saw "2p" instead of "3p" in that post at one point while I was piecing things together. Maybe I misread it, and if I did I unreservedly apologize.

even so, it doesn't matter.

If you saw something substantially edited, that would go against the spirit of the game and while people "shouldn't" ninja edit.

It's not egregious.

I feel like this is the flimsiest of things to have any one part of your argument/defense occupy the thread with.

How dare you correct a meaningless typo!

If merk made up that claim off the cuff props to him but that sure seems real.

My sensitive side doesn’t want to vote a guy playing his first game in years on D1 but I’ll vote him over merk at this point. Trying to make some time to look at Toal and a couple other people but this morning is turning out busier than I expected (as usual)

Hey, Grinnblade, so who is scum then? With this statement, you've effectively given zero reads. Your vote on me is, as you said, just so we don't no lynch.

Give us a serious case on someone before I flip town at least. You have no opinions in the thread at all now.

I want to point out that his claim only claims the mechanics of how successful his role is, not what it does. It could just as easily be a scum role, so I'm treating it as neutral either way. I believe the mechanics are real, though.

How am I supposed to handle this situation, merk? I'm not gonna go running to Ecco over one number, and PMing a player out of game is chasing bad with worse. On the other hand, yeah it's one character and I probably (okay definitely) should have kept my mouth shut.

Because you poo poo up the thread for the entirety of a game day with drat near close to zero content, with your only case coming when the thread finally got sick of it and started applying pressure hours before deadline? :thunk:

Grinnblade and merk are voting each other, so assume those won't move. The four people on either of those votes are also all here right now, which isn't enough to actually make a lunch happen.

We can either consolidate or wait for two more people to make a decision.
