Bolded (mine): I don't see why these are mutually exclusive: in fact, both are probably true given the circumstances. I mean, you did state that you thought you were wrong and AK47X2's alignment matter-of-factly.
I even believed your explanation about thinking you were wrong. The explanation doesn't, however, change the fact that you spoke as if you knew AK47X2's alignment it only explains the remarks about believing yourself to be wrong.
For clarification, claiming that you only stated your degree of correctness matter-of-factly doesn't change the fact that you also stated AK47's alignment matter-of-factly.
See, this is pretty much the exact point where it crosses the line for me. You see, all the points where you claim that I am claiming to know his alignment are really just me saying I'm probably wrong. On a side note, now that I think about it, me the conclusions are not at all equally logical. Me predicting my own failure is infinitely more likely than blatantly claiming scum.
I don't see why it's a matter of which is more likely because they are not mutually exclusive and they both have already occurred.
Diamond:Read as: I am no longer accepting a logical explanation and will be assuming you just claimed scum. That's essentially what you are saying. You are saying that there is no possibility that it was just a strange way to say "this is what I think, but I think I'm wrong about what I think" and that is most definitely in your mind me claiming scum. The real interesting thing is that (note: this is directed at diamond, I just realized I was using second person now and I'm too lazy to edit, so just replace all the you's with diamond if it's confusing you.) you and AK are together on this. When you look at it, it's ridiculous. The only shred of logic in there was that I didn't explain this line:I've ruled out bad wording at this point.
This is blatant misinterpretation. I've already stated that I believe your explanation for most of your post except one exception. It seems like you're trying to make it seem as if I disregarded your entire defense.
llama:And as soon as I call him on it, the time constraints go away. Cue the self-loathing when he is telling the truth and flips town...
1. This is not me claiming to know his alignment, it is predicting me being wrong.
2. This is not meant to be taken literally. You see, I am a pessimist for a reason. Either something good happens or I at least get to be right.
Whether or not you were attempting to address your own failures does not change my opinion here. I don't think you understand the main discrepancy here: the difference between "if he flips town" and "when he flips town". Given your explanation and your lack of acknowledgment of the bad wording, I've come to the conclusion that bad wording wasn't the problem here.
The explanation for this wording unless you know two things about me. (ignore this if you are one of those paranoid types that thinks everything is an appeal to emotion. This is put here merely to explain the statement, and I believe it does.) First, I really fail at this game. I normally play on a different site, and there I am usually wrong. This is the seed for the pessimism about my suspicions. Second, I doubt myself a lot. This serves to amplify the Negative light that I view my reading of people in.
Bolded (mine): This is incredibly inaccurate. Considering that 4 people posted from post 140 (which is what I'm assuming you're referring too since it's the first post since the suspicion on AK built up) it is a blatant lie that I have attempted to divert attention let alone succeed in it. Just take a look at the people who have posted since then: the mod, me, AK47X2, the replacement who hasn't read yet and AK47X2. You clearly haven't lost focus of AK47X2 and no one else who has been posting has been focused on him.llamaeatataco wrote:Now that that's out of the way, There is one last thing that I need to say here. Potential Diamond/Ak scum team? The buddying is pretty hardcore.Diamond first tries (succeeds really) to divert attention away from Ak's very convenient sudden increase in free time, (If you think this is a really stupid scumtell, I'll explain why I think it's suspicious, but I don't want to waste time) and then proceeds to attack me for something extremely far out.AK backs him up. If they aren't scum together, then this behavior doesn't really make sense. They both did things of a buddying nature, even when it was not necessary. Diamond first deflects attention, AK then comes up with some quick bs and Diamond backs him on this. Now that I have (hopefully) explained why this is a stupid thing to attack someone on, I will ask you... Why are you teaming? More importantly, why are you teaming on something so silly?
The whole buddying accussation is based on a horrible double standard. I borrowed you're point when attacking Suffer, llama and then you later pointed out that it was good. Suffered attacked Almaster on the same line that I had just pointed out the post before his. The recent case on AK47X2 was Peabody following Almaster's point.
You scrapped together a completely inaccurate and fallacious OMGUS that was clearly not like your other cases and points. Because of this, your OMGUS seemed more like an attempt to discredit your attackers (or rather who you perceived to be attacking you) more than it did legitimate scumhunting.
Therefore
Max has escaped.
