@Soup: You aren't really pointing to a reason as to why you contradicted yourself, only to that fact that you didcontradict yourself.
You started this Day hailing the usefulness of pairing up and wondering aloud why other players wouldn't take advantage of it. You've made several posts explaning to everyone in the game why it's a good idea. This has been clearly established.
What I want to know is this:
Do you now think that pairing up will be detrimental of town?
-and-
What was it about other people's pairings that made you think they were doing them randomly, rather than simply following your recommendations?
Ideals change. Is this hard to understand? I stated my reasoning as to why I didn't like the way it was progressing and I'm not sure what else you want me to say. I think pairing is still a good idea as long as it
doesn't hinder the content posted in-thread. I think that was the only point I was trying to make, and as I realized that people were just pairing with people they have history with, I feel the content from them will become more sparse. I wanted to highlight the fact I don't want this and more importantly, I don't trust Ryu's pairing with FML because I feel like it was just a bandwagon (see: hip and trendy) and he didn't really have a plan from it. I also didn't care for Potassium's because it was the same thing. Have we gotten anything out of their pairings yet? If you answer no, then you'll see my concern. Right now I haven't discussed much with Zen but I feel he can tell you where he stands with everything. I expect him to. I'm not his messenger.
I don't understand their intention to pair with who they paired with other than their history. It's true I paired with Zen/Vandy because of the same deal, but I've already said there's more to it. I haven't seen anyone else jump the gun on pairing because it's likely that they don't have anyone like that. Xastrn, what do you feel is more likely: Scum pairing with Scum? Town pairing with Town? or Scum pairing with Town?
Do you now think that pairing up will be detrimental of town?
Yes and no. I think it could be if content becomes sparse but FML is posting so much it's hard to give input on anything with him constantly clogging the thread. I haven't been motivated to post in awhile because of this. I think that the idea of Scum pairing up with Town is more likely than Scum pairing up with scum, or at least presently. I want to hear more about what people are discussing currently. Right now I just proposed to Zen if he wanted to shoot someone. I have no plans in doing so because I feel this day will drag itself on if there isn't an action taken, and I'm not confident enough in my reads to be one. I suggested FML to shoot for this matter to help garner reads better, even on him for that matter. Do you disagree with the shot?
The deadline's not until Sunday, and there is still plenty of time to gather more info for town to use on later Days. Why does Soup offer the not-so-subtle encouragement for FML to just quickfire and get it over with?
See my previous reasoning. I also believe it will help get better reactions. FML claiming he's going to do it is only pressuring him to put his money where his mouth is. He's stating he thinks he's obvious scum; what is stopping FML from pulling the trigger himself?
