What happened is that an entire day passed, and while there was initially what felt like a lot of eagerness on your (Syryana's) end to question people and lead the game from a townish positioning, Maestro's disengagement has gone from seemingly casual engagement//dismissal of that style of play towards a sort of suffocation and disengagement from the production of content within the game itself.

Tl;dr: A day passed and Maestro didn't post much else.


I've been fairly explicit in explaining that I don't really know what to make of it, and that I could likely argue it either way. You'll find that in both of those quotes, I do explain that. Calling scum or town at this point would be a fool's pursuit, and not because I'm fence-sitting or some other rubbish, but because there isn't enough content produced so far to actually dig in to.

;_; I don't think it was irrelevant.

I don't think it's fair to just say Maestro didn't post anything else and that's why my opinion has skewed, so much as...

Maestro made a handful more posts since that observation and speculation of mine, and none of those posts were simultaneously articulated, engaging, or game-related. Sure, there was an expansive post tackling how I feel about production of content (496), but that's a discussion of playstyle rather than the game itself. It's like someone asking why I hold my chess pieces for a moment before moving them. The move itself isn't what is being discussed, but the means of movement, which holds no significant bearing on the play. Maestro's game-related posts are largely dismissive and succinct, and he has yet to ask any questions of his peers in this game, aside from the rhetorical one in 486 and the question towards my playstyle in 496.

I hope this helps you understand why I've shifted a little on how I consider the other players in this game.

jesus, the walls hurt my eyes

I'll go back and read the last page later Varsy, but I've been working a lot this week

Thanks, Maestro. I understand being busy, but we should really put in a lot of effort this weekend. After all, the deadline is in 3 days. I'd like to have three days worth of content to look over, rather than a sparse and vacant thread.

...I can't tell whether you understand how patronizing you're being or if you're doing it by accident

I think you're reading too much into it.

hah fair enough

Maestro, going to post your thoughts?

Really? That's it?

Well, who are we going to gamble our votes on, then?

Going from the posts from the last few days, probably you. Your responses to my FoS wall feel overdone, like you're trying really hard to convince me you're town. It just doesn't feel genuine.

However, Maestro's responses (or rather lack thereof) have really been bugging me. He's got nothing to say, even after I specifically asked him for his thoughts. Granted, not a whole lot's been going on in here, but he ought to have relevant to say.

why should I have something relevant to say just because you think I should? you just admitted "not a whole lot's been going on in here"

No gut reads, no questions? We've got less than a day.
