There were quite a few posts made last Sunday and Monday directly concerning d&p himself:
Post 197 (MF) is a substantial post devoted entirely to an analysis of d&p's own posts.
Post 207 - this is where Earwig first raises the idea of MF and d&p making veiled scum communications. Several of the following posts refer to this, Post 218, by Khelvaster, I'd have expected especially to be of great interest to d&p, suggesting as it does that a vig should kill d&p if MF turned up scum.
How does d&p react to all this? He decides to postpone any response until after he has been through the entire game, post by post. Aimee had already done this, in a giant post that went back over posts 47-164. Many people had already responded to her post in detail. I will confess here to being somewhat less than thrilled to find d&p using Aimee's post as the basis for yet more massively detailed analysis of these early pages. The terrible prospect of a third player using d&p's analysis for a basis of a still
more
detailed analysis seemed quite real, and I seriously doubt that I would have the stamina for that.This process takes him some days, and the posts he really should be dealing with become more and more out of date. He seems at one stage to acknowledge the problem:
.. but carries on regardless, working his way through every single word of Aimee's megapost until post 129, at which point, for reasons not given, he abruptly abandons the exercise. (This is shortly before the bandwagon on Earwig got going.)d&p wrote:Can't help wondering whether I'm falling further behind or catching up.
He finally comments on the issue of collaboration with MF, but apparently only does so because the issue has just been raised again:
I don't think he has ever dealt with post 197. Maybe there are some responses buried in his long posts.d&p wrote:I find it ridiculous that I've been called on again to knock this down, after MF already has.
d&p reaches a conclusion and decides to vote beanbagboy. His reasoning:
I would have found it considerably more helpful to have been given a summary list of all the occasions where d&p thinks BBB has committed these crimes. Just a few words on each. It looks as if I have to go through his posts, wading through unrelated material, to find them.d&p wrote:BBB: for all the times he has just made stuff up about players. He clearly thinks he doesn't need to read. He has thrown all sorts of aspersions around and hasn't backed down when challenged. He has consistently misrepresented what other people have said about him and themselves. He has mixed up the chain of events to defend himself or his arguments. Kab said he thought he was overeager. Eager players read, imo.
I'm aware of two possible examples: the whole "BBB singles out Coppelia for voting Khelvaster" thing and all the related subplots about whether Khelvaster was inconsistent and whether third votes are scummy. All this has been covered exhaustively. Maybe that's why I feel it may have been blown out of proportion. And this:
I've tried to find what this was about. I think d&p means where BBB says this:d&p wrote:He didn’t. BBB just made it up.Aimee wrote:Also incidentally, maybe this is through lack of sleep, but when did MightyFireBall start the wagon? If he did, I apologise
I think what happened here is BBB misinterpreting MF's post 119:BBB wrote:Even more incriminating, IMO. He asks MF for a reason, MF points out he started the frigging wagon, and d8p says that that's not good enough. Nuh-unh. That doesn't fly.
If not, could somebody please tell me what BBB is supposed to have made up? And actual references to the other places where he's cast aspersions, misrepresented people, made stuff up etc?MF wrote:D8p, I did indeed make the first analysis of Khelvaster's post in which he incriminated pickemgenius.
A couple of final thoughts:
Aimee: your analysis has been very useful, but can I suggest that if you do similar analyses in future, you put the post number at the beginning of each paragraph? It would barely take any more time, and would make the material massively easier to manage later.
I think there's a danger, in this game, that we'll not only miss the wood for the trees, but we'll be so busy microanalysing the leaves we won't even see the trees.
Kabenon!
