One example of what I am talking about: You post that long bandwagon analysis (which a lot of people, like me, don't care about early) with your typical lack of formatting. Then you put your little 'trap' in the middle of it. But you are surely smart enough to know that people reading up are less likely to read through that long useless post thoroughly, but would certainly notice anyone saying that your were clear and jump on it. That looks very much just to be designed to get a random person making a stupid post and getting jumped on by another random person. That is, it sure as hell looks to me to be just there to incite noise.
Also, I said "gingerly IN SOME SPOTS." I was trying pretty hard to get you to engage me yesterday, but you wouldn't until I came out practically slapped you in the face.
So again, start my wagon scott, and play the little psychological games you excel at. I am anxious for my role to be confirmed.
i didnt put that test in there to trick people into making odd posts, i put it in there to actually see if anybody was reading my posts. those posts are long and time consuming when being constructed. it takes a lot of effort. i wanted to see if my effort was worthwhile. notice that i have defended switch in light of the added suspicion on him due to his post. i didnt sit idly by and let him get lynched. i dont know switches role, but i made it clear that i would not vote for him any time soon BECAUSE he made the post that let me know he was reading my stuff. perhaps im wrong on him, but im making it known how i feel. look at it this way, if switch and i were both wolves, i wouldnt defend him for falling for the "trap" as you call it (it wasnt a trap regardless), if i was a wolf and switch was a villager, i would not defend him, on the contrary, my "trap" would have worked and i would pressure him. lastly, if i was village, i would defend him because it showed he was reading the thread and my long boring post, which i wolf wouldnt necessarily read. which of those scenarios do you see being played out now?
fnord, please to be describing the spots where im "walking gingerly". then we can talk more. saying im walking gingerly in spots is much too vague to be considered a serious accusation.
as far as you "trying to engage me", you being the great scotthoward expert can surely tell that i dont "engage" with randoms. i engage with people who have done something odd or villagery. i tend to ignore people that dont trigger my interest. youll notice i dont put up lists of "lean village" or "lean wolf". its wolf or villager and thats it. thats because if somebody hasnt made me wonder about them, i dont. but are you saying that your goal yesterday was to try and get me to call you a wolf? and im supposed to do that because you were fixated on saying you couldnt figure me out?
