Why you want them talking, couldn't say.
@Ran, oh ok, never seen Lost. What do you mean by in your lane?
Hey Kary, could you explain the purpose of these questions? There are more questions of yours I can't see the purpose of, and I'd just like to know why you ask the questions you do. The first one, where you ask Soup why he chose you: What possible answer did you expect from him? Are there certain answers that would have changed your opinion of Soup? If so, what kind of answers were you looking for to make him seem townier/scummier? Otherwise, be honest, were you just asking for the sake of asking?
Soup decided to try and stop RVS, by asking questions of me. I thought it was reasonable to ask why he chose me, when several other people had posted. I asked Ran to clarify something because I didn't understand the reason, if any, for his RVS vote.
What sort of answer did I expect from Soup? Something like his #76: "Well..I can tell you that the way Kary reacted to your call-out was more interesting than anything else," which gives some reason for why he chose me. Almost any answer, or indeed no answer at all would have changed my opinion of Soup- but not necessarily as town/scum, more as his playstyle. I certainly wasn't asking for the sake of asking, and I don't like the tone of this question- I was trying to gauge the way that Soup plays, and from that get a clue to his intentions.

@D S Hound: you guyyys... got any thoughts on Soup's play so far?
Here's another one. Why are you asking the slot you're asking this question? Be honest: Was there a reason, or did you just randomly pick someone for some arbitrary reason? At the time of asking this question, what were your thoughts on Soup's play?
Now, at this point in the game, Hound had just posted in the thread, but not said very much. Soup, on the other hand, had started a line of questioning which was pretty much the only non-RVS thing to have happened so far. So, I asked Hound because he was around, but not providing much content, and no, it wasn't random or arbitrary. It also wasn't random that I chose Soup- because I felt he had posted enough to have an opinion on.
I think I've already explained why I was asking about Soup. But you asked for my thoughs, so here you go: he seemed eager to get out of RVS. He seemed eager to question someone, and chose me, presumably to try and get a read on me. He also decided to post that read for everyone to see, which I assume he did to elicit a reaction from people. None of this leant strongly town or scum for me.

Why did you ask Kataefi this? Even worse, what made you choose Roxy and Gargaglione? Did you even consider how much content those two players had to work with. What kind of answer did you POSSIBLY expect? Once again, I'd like an honest answer: Are you putting thought into this question, or did you just ask someone random to give an opinion on two random players?
I asked Kataefi, again, because he was around. In addition, Kataefi had not commented on my vote on him at the start of the game, but had asked questions of me, and I wanted to get a response from him. I chose Roxy and Gargaglione precisely because of the amount of content they had posted- they had both posted very, expressed generally null opinions and decided not to vote for anyone, at almost the same point in the game. What sort of answer did I expect from Kataefi? Perhaps some meta data on one of the players, about their posting habits or tendency to vote. Perhaps some suspicion about their lack of stances so far. Maybe nothing at all, but all of these would give me some amount of information about Kataefi.
So, yes, of course I'm putting thought into it. I didn't choose Kataefi at random, I was trying to engage someone who had already questioned me in some conversation. And I didn't choose Roxy and Gargalione randomly either- I chose them for their quiet, conservative posts and low activity, and in the belief that they are more likely to post if they are being talked about.

Oh my. What are you going to do with Garg's strongest town read?
I think I answered this question in #108. I'm not going to do anything with it, especially, but it helps me to build a picture of what Garg is thinking and the way that he reasons.
Please, Kary, clarify this stuff for me. I'm on the fence about all these questions and whatnot and need help deciding what side to jump to.
Why didn't you just ask: 'Kary do you choose the people in your questions randomly, and if not, how do you choose them'? I have tried to be as helpful as possible, but I'm telling you now I'm not going to do this all day. If you come up with another torrent of questions that I do not feel are going anywhere, there is no way that I am going to answer them in full. This is your only warning.
Considering that your main point against me was that you don't see the point of my questions, I really do wonder why you have asked me so much just to try and help you get a read on me. But there you go.
