Firstly, I've talked with Faraday, and due to some RL distractions,
Faraday will be indefinitely V/LA for a while.
I may talk to him now and then about the game, but in the thread at least, it'll be all Mina, all the time.
I'd started a post breaking down the Pepper wagon, but then something distracted me all evening, so I'll save actual substantial stuff for tomorrow. Random thoughts:
-Are we continuing with the bidding claim? In retrospect, I'm not sure it's the best idea.
-Was debating a switch to Kingdom Aces, but I kind of vaguely like some of her more recent catch-up posts. Given that Nero could have claimed before his V/LA, his lengthy (particularly since was also like pulling teeth for me to get advertisement claims out of him) He also comes across as though he's given up today.
-Not as sure that upside down are town as I was yesterday. From my knowledge of Quilford, he doesn't like being scum and flaked on the Pandora scum-hydra in ADwD (although granted, he was fairly active on D1 in that game).
-Would like to write Garuda off as town, but having reservations. For one thing (yes, pot calling the kettle black here, and I know Empire was sick), I dislike their habit of going quiet for long periods at a time. Unlike Faraday, I actually got a favourable impression from Nacho's effort-posting spree, because he looked like he was trying to solve the game. But I felt as though some of the stuff they "liked" was shallow. For example, Seanald's point that "scum like posting when something big happens" (actually, the opposite tends to be more true on average) was silly, and what was worse was the way it was framed came off as though he was validating that as a reason to suspect us. Also, IIRC, some of the positions of reads on their lists didn't seem to quite follow from all the positive things they said in the rereads. I'm focusing on the us stuff because I'm a narcissist, my body thinks it's 5:30 AM, and it's what sticks out in my mind in such a huge thread, but I didn't like that he'd basically called most of our posts super-town but then moved us a tier lower for a couple of throwaway sentences. (I'll find examples to do with other people another day.) Finally, they'd have been a great N1 kill. Either way, he can only be RH scum.
-I've been warming up to pieguyn lately, despite disagreeing with much of what he says (was very confused. That said, random questions since I reread him.
1) So you think Mhork is fakeclaiming his connection with Pyro...but just coincidentally guessed the secret information morph had?
2)
What led you to make this assumption when you did?
3) From the same post as 2:
79 from LB seems genuine[/quote]
What exactly gave you a genuine impression about that post (given that most of the game voted us for it because it was "fake", and everything in it actually WAS a complete lie)?
