959: Malth's Alternate Reality: Game Over

[UncertainKitten]

The flip side of frequent posting is you create a lot of chaff which makes rereads harder, and makes you look scummier, due to signal noise ratio.

This is mildly hypocritical since I have a high signal noise ratio as well in general.

[SocioPath]

Rereads are better when nothing is quoted.

[NavyCherub]

Rereads are better when the first few pages aren't filled with someone doing dumb things "on purpose" to make other people post as much fluff as he is.

But seriously, I dislike it when people do that.

[SocioPath]

Me too.

[Cobalt]

hey guys UK is scum

[Twomz]

Care for a reason there Cobalt?

[Cobalt]

vote:Jack

Ello, again

[UncertainKitten]

Once again, Cobalt is wrong.

This is not very surprising because, well, Navy said it best.

[jasonT1981]

ok, wow... this game gone 4 pages already... damn

Cobalt, you seem to call UK scum and then say because of her posts, what is it exactly you find scummy about her? It is a pretty big jump to jump in right away and say someone is scum with no reasoning, and then say 'her posts' when asked why you think she is.

Please to reading my sig.

This is scummy and overly anxious.

Jack likes easy targets ^-^.

Why do you say this?

[Pittbunny]

Either self-admittance or the fact that you can't be bothered to post more than five words at a time?

Apologies, you had six that one post.

Why are you annoyed?

[Jack]

And to stave off a "gosh look a 4 word post" reply because I actually want an answer: answer it please.

[UncertainKitten]

I say it because that statement was pretty easy fodder when it has negligible benefit for me to say as scum. It's one of those "oh look a scumtells" that doesn't really appear to pan out that often ^-^.

I prefer flowery but meaningless prose over one-liners that, while holding the same weight as everything else on Day 1, are blaaaaand. Personal inclinations, more or less.

To say that someone is picking on easy targets is to say that they are accusing someone who has done a bunch of scummy things or is a popular suspect. To say that someone "likes" to pick on easy targets is to say they have shown a consistent tendency to do that. That's the rhetorical implication of your post.

So on page 4:

1) cobalt votes you with no reason
2) you insist that cobalt is wrong, and link to someone else who apparently rejects cobalts opinions
3) I asked why you seemed to feel threatened by a vote
4) you tried tried to undercut my question


That's twice in a short time period you've used rhetoric to try and undercut votes and accusations.

I prefer flowery but meaningless prose over one-liners that, while holding the same weight as everything else on Day 1, are blaaaaand. Personal inclinations, more or less.

In previous games I have observed scum keeping up "banter" longer than they should.

[Pittbunny]

Thank you, Jack.

Yes, hypocritical irony.

[Jack]

Have you played anywhere previously Pittbunny?

[Pittbunny]

Yes, on a different site. That was Werewolf though, usually multiple factions, and games in excess of 16+. This streamlined setup MS has going on is new, bizarre, and interesting to me.

We've got a stealth/doublevoter.

That or Mal can't count.

Unvote;

I'm worried that Mal bolded his votes.

I just can't count. Fixed.
