Uhhh.... Really? If someone names me a suspect I like to know why. What's odd about it?


it sounded really whiney to be honest. There was no confrontation to say make a case, just a woe is me sort of lament at making someones suspect list.


But surely people should be pushed to give reasons for their suspicions?

Quote

Your response of why not me, makes me think you wanted to be on someones list.


What do you mean? Why would I want to be on someone's list?


pushed yes, i was more concerned by the lack of reaction, it seemed very much a limp effort at giving a fuck. If someone puts me on a suspect list the least i would say is, "give me a reason for your suspicions then? you cant say i am suspect just because you said so?"

"why me?" just wasnt strong enough. It is very middle of the road, its the least affronting sentence i have read on the whole thread and it stood out to me.

And by contrast your response was equally weird. Are you surprised your not on a suspect list? Seriously you could want to be on a list as you may be a symp and are trying to get attention but the fact that someone doesnt mention you isnt cause to go, "oh how odd i am not suspicious?" for example i didnt make bents list should i now grill him as to why he doesnt find me suspicious?

@bent - why arent i suspicious, what are you nuts!

no i was just late. i think the only reason you had an argument was you posted at the same time as obdi which is a very easy way to have an argument.

I was very surprised to not be on Bent's suspect list, yes. Because earlier he'd posted several times that I was suspicious.

If he hadn't made those earlier posts I wouldn't have questioned it.

Nah, Obi never picked on bwgan, hes afraid of girls. See also: Gem. Anyway, Obi latched onto Slick because Slick took the bait. Oh and I am pretty sure the "pissing contest" was actually between Morgy and DK.

One more point, after reading through DK's "rant". Id revise my list to Morgy, Dk, and Shin.



SO my "rant" has now removed bwgan from your suspect list?

Makes some sense man...


bwgan was there because shes so timid ( not a noob, like Dibs says, timid as in please don't vote for me, im sweet...) but you getting all excited so very early looks like distancing.



distancing?....well ok if you say so.
So your only evidence...if you could call it that...is that i could be distancing.
And that puts me as a suspect and you forget about bwgan?
hardly a convincing theory as you could say that about just about any two people that get pissed off woth one another.

Wouldnt it have been more prudent just to ADD me to your suspect list rather?
Is it now out of the realm off possibility that you were right about bwgan because if what i said?
strange that....

because of the reasons you posted when you voted for me? I can somewhat understand why someone would not vote for a person based on that person being logged on without posting.

Morgy is currently making waves purely because he likes people to get wet. It could be day 1 play, it could be a way to seem active.
The solution I have formulated to either issue is to simply ask him tomorrow to give more opinions, and vote him otherwise.

And how you are so agreeable, specially with the old hands Dibs and Tapper,
And how you "went to bed" yet posted here and hour later
And how you and DK had a spat, but it was one way, DK breaking lose and you calm cool and collected,
And because your a dickbag (sorry, I havent called you one yet.)

So, while there's a lot of relatively useful cases being tossed about, a lot of them seem to revolve around the basis of what a particular player normally acts like, case in point obviously being the one on Bent that he is usually angry/explosive. Keep in mind that many people play radically different when they are exposed by a lack of alt, especially with the lists and meta-hate that are so prevalent. Others, of course, like Obdi, don't change a bit :p

Dkt strikes me as having a very over-the-top angry-defensive reaction when he could've had a much less empassioned rant.

Tapper's bit on Slick's "why not me" is quite telling, but I don't see much beyond that on Slick so its not much of a case just yet.

Morgy seems to me like he is trying to cast suspicions on everyone and doesn't care who as long as he can make people look bad...

i think everyone has taken touchy silly pills this morning.

@slick - suppose so, i guess its in your favour that you didnt just accept your good fortune. however to me It read like you were looking to draw attention back to yourself.

well that makes sense, but he is pushing people for opinions so if you dont like how he isnt presenting his own why give hima free ride until tomorrow? i thought he had been opinionated but i guess i am missing stuff. i was trying to avoid my usual attack morgy train of thought, perhaps i took it too far.

You didn't. I just think it's funny that there have been two instances of "someone is being to much themselves!" in this game.
