1. I apologize for being late to the party. I've had some academic responsibilities to deal with and haven't had a long enough block to catch up on the thread until this evening.
2. If you can't be bothered to read all my notes, please at least ctrl+f your name or whatever, because I have some questions for you guys littered throughout. It took me 5 hours to write them, so, ye know, please don't be a butthole.
3. @ Ythan:
A) Zoidberg's votepost bothered me because it did -- the bothering comes before the analysis.
Here's the actual vote post. Looking back, the reason why it probably bothered me is that the tone of the post evokes "random carefreeness" when it's obvious that he's actually following the crowd, which is the opposite of random carefreeness. This kind of early-game thing is more likely to come from scum
B) Early townread on Om is gut. Call it the opposite of the early scumread on Zoidberg. Looking back, it's probably because he was posting very openly in a context that I think would be stressful to a less mature player. He's maintained this trend throughout the entire game. I feel relatively strongly about this read.
C) My comment you're referring to is not objecting to the CONTENT of what you said about NS, but about the FACT that you were focusing on NS. It seemed like you were ignoring lots of much more compelling (to me) thread content. This was strange to me, so I made a note of it.
