It isn't semantics. You accused DGB of committing OMGUS, which she didn't do. The definition of OMGUS isn't a semantic issue at all - it goes to the fact that you can sling it around as an emotively-loaded label when, in reality, it is wrongly used. You also tried re-defining it yourself as "You are attacking me. Oh My God U Suck, I'm going to vote you" and relied on the apparent silence in DGB's post as to her reasons when, in context, the reasons for voting BM were manifestly obvious.
First, since when does OMGUS NOT stand for Oh My God U Suck? I am
not
redefining it. You are. Further, this IS a semantic debate. it is manifestly obvious why I am voting DGB. I don't think the reasons are so manifestly obvious, since she voted him BEFORE he started in with the whole she lied thing (I think?)
More misuse of an emotional label. Hmm.
I grant this, mostly because I got jumbled. I still think that BM was a planned mislynch.
Well, no, actually you haven't. The only points you initially raised on DGB was the (wrong) OMGUS point, and the (context-ignorant) point about her not having explanations. You then later added a point about her seeming "too assured" (which is really just DGB's style of writing)
Then you haven't read my posts. And I have no need to debate you if you won't do that.
It's some basic vote count analysis. Scum know who each other are and so it's usually safe to assume that their play will be influenced by how their buddies vote. I split my suspects into those on ckd's wagon and those off because I tend to think scum won't all vote together.
Well, now you've made it WIFOM, but this is an acceptable explanation. I don't like the vibe I get from it but I think I understand it?
Ironically, you seem to be making DGB the scapegoat for BM's lynch now. Hypocrisy is the best!
And if she flips scum? (not that it's unlikely)
Um, actually, vollkan's point was that you used the term OMGUS on something that obviously isn't.
Even though it was. You all debated the semantics of the existence of OMGUS. vollkan only got beyond that. Nice try Korts.
I agree that forb deserves suspicion. The Yosarian-suspicion I agree with to a lesser extent. I don't really see vollkan as scummy, though, and Elmo hasn't contributed a lot to discussion (I am aware of his computer problems, which might in part explain that).
Everyone deserves suspicion. Some more than others. I grant people don't like what I'm saying. I've never excelled at arguing things. But as long as I'm eventually listened to, I'll be happy.
i think yos and des are both town and this feud between them is a big waste of time
Yosarian2, an Inuit Mafia Godfather, has been killed
whoops. Not that it matters. Just slight amusement.
i think the most likely yosarian scumpartner is korts
Why?
yos was way too concerned about why people were wagoning you day one and made it his business to make sure your wagon didn't outcompete ckd's. then the continued expressions of exasperation over the fact that not many people did address his concerns about your wagon. thats the biggest thing.
Thanks. Um...I guess I have to at least read D1 soon, don't I? I'm not gonna do a commentary post but it might change my views. But I'll do this rl tomorrow.
well that was thoroughly unconvincing
This. Too obvious begs WIFOM.
vollkan is still alive? He's done little more than bus.
And defend you along with Korts. I'd like a response to my vote, no matter how weak the case might seem.
