So I started doing a big post explaining why OS's initial analysis of Omni's play was actually good at its logical core, but it was going to take forever because I was going to have to basically re-word all of OS's statements to not be over dramaticized.
I also then realized it would take equally long to break down a lot of how Omni has addressed OS's points in a very indirect, sidestepping manner. OS points out a scummy attribute of something you've done, but instead of actually contesting the claim, you sidestep it by saying "that wasn't the point of what I did, I was doing it to achieve <insert X protown goal here>. It's not that Omni isn't being logically cogent, but you aren't actually taking on OS's attacks, you're just trying to justify things as if it removes the basis for criticism. This is something I find scummy in that it's very easy to put a protown spin on ANYTHING whereas it is much harder to actually rebut against accusations that certain actions taken have scummy attributes.
I can do a long PBPA on this matter if people want that breakdown but it's going to take awhile.
Since I've got a laundry list miles long of demands to meet I'll start taking things one step at a time but its been taking forever to dissect Omni/OS as it is.
Omni's 246 is probably the best spot, the questions he posed that is.
Omni said:
thoughts on MetaKirby vs. Me exchange?
who do you want to hear more from?
tell me what you think of both tom and marshEE and their play so far.
also want to know how your opinion on chaco for now as well.
1.) Not really getting anything out of it TBQH. Some empty discussion over whether some **** was AtE, not a very pertinent interaction or anything with good game related analysis. Just an empty exchange with some misinterpretation all bundled up.
2.) Kirby-Bot, well KirbyYo now that the hydra is broken up, especially considering my vote is on him and hes done nothing to change my view that he's done nothing other than what I've called him out for all game.
3.) Tom: Backseat player so far but hasn't been nudging people in bad directions as far as I can tell. Usually what I look for when people play more of that background commentator role so to speak, is comments and suggestions that undermine player credibility that is unrelated to on-going discussion, bad or otherwise misconstruing analysis, or attempts to distract players from suspicious activities or in depth analysis of good interactions. He really hasn't done this and so he hasn't been bothering me.
MarshEE: Aggressive. Out for blood. Not really sure what to think of it because that's how marshy always is. His constant hounding of OS doesn't bother me at the moment because he has some callouts that are legit, but otherwise he's just as guilty as OS is of exaggerating points. Though at the core of his arguments I think he's been pretty reasonable, his presentation has been bellicose and I mostly attribute this to him having bloodlust as a result of seeing Omin/OS go at it (i.e. a good excuse to try and tear down OS). His analysis as I said has been mediocre but I know WHY it has been and I don't attribute it to scummyness, just him being distracted. If this becomes a trend later in the game though he'll require more looking at.
4.) Little to nothing? Like he has no presence in this game and amidst all the other interactions to look into in this game my attention is no where close to him. I'll go back and re-read everything he's said but I can almost guarantee I'll have like nothing new for you.
Hope that's enough to work with for now. I'm swamped as **** and trying to catch up.
It explains why he (if he's scum) would choose to ask me, instead of Tom or Marshy. Heck, or even Omni.
