You've got the quote wrong in your Sig BTW.

It's "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Me: It's Better to Remain Silent and Thought to be a Fool Than to Open Your Mouth and Prove It.

Lambda: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Haha, but I am a fool, so, I should remain silent and don't give anyone proof that I'm actually a fool.
If your quote is what you go by, then you are certainly no fool unlike me?

So... wait.

QUOTE #1:
PREMISE #1: drmyshotgun is a fool
PREMISE #2: It's better to remain silent and thought to be a fool than open your mouth and prove it.
CONCLUSION: drmyshotgun should remain silent.

QUOTE #2:
PREMISE #1: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
PREMISE #2: drmyshotgun is a fool.
???
CONCLUSION: Lambda isn't a fool.

How do you get from Premise #2 to conclusion?

It's called the ninja turtle clause. Lrn2Argument.

Ah, drmyshotgun, is this what you're getting at?

QUOTE #2:
PREMISE #1: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
CONCLUSION #1: Fools that know they are fools should remain silent.
OBSERVATION #1: Lambda does not remain silent
CONCLUSION #2: Lambda is therefore not a fool
?

Well following that train of though, Lambda could be a fool that did not know she was one. Therefore your reasoning cannot be the right one.

I didn't say it was a completely LOGICAL train of thought though, I just asked if that was the train of thought he was utilizing.

To destroy all premises presented above: I'm not a fool. I am certainly not silent.
Anyone keen for some random questions? I do them all the time, but in a game this big, don't think its such a good idea.

vijay2vasandani · Post Post #42 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:15 pm

^ YES! Me likey.

No tangents this time though. Also, does Peregrine say when we actually start?

Nero Cain · Post Post #43 (ISO) » Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:58 pm

he said 60 hours from when he sent out roles but all but three have confirmed and the other three may have site flaked.

Screwit, if people can post other than /confirm.... we all have our roles. This shit counts. (Votes obviously won't)

RQS is a waste of time, and I will not answer any questions like that.

I'd much rather quick lynch someone. (we can talk theory on this)

Also Shotty, will remain as Shotty, and drmyshotgun, can be "drmy".

What we call the shottys won't matter as we are policy quicklynching shotty day 1.
