Fine. Have it your way. It's there, they can read it if they want to.
a. in a minute
b. Wait, so you were accusing me of using minor points?
c. Flores voted after nag did. Also she did so after I revoted Nag.
d. see b.
e. Read your own post again and try to imagine a 6-story quote piramid above each line of text. I would call that illegible. (this also answers the green discussion)
f. ~
g. funny how all the three quotes where I don't use the pr are one liners. As on the third, idk if quoting myself counts but there's a bunch of references at the top.
a. In a minute, then.
b. A lot of minor points > one minor point
c. WHEN she voted is not relevant. The point stands, it was for the same reason.
d. ~
e. Once again, I'm cutting back (somewhat) largely due to complaints from others
g. Again, it's not about the post's content apart from the PR so much for whether or not one actually puts the small amount of effort required to include the PR (and subsequently why I don't think quoting it should count). Since I have one PhD, it might be easier than if I had such a great burden as you with 41 PhDs.
a. Possibly true, I'll believe you. But I wasn't implying that you had. Nag, /, probably someone else as well, has been saying "xxx" and then "ebwop my 39 phds say xxx". This is what I referred to.
b. True. As I mentioned I'm playing several games and every now and then I just have a loose remark that's got nothing to do with my role. In those cases, yes, I forget my pr.
c. I saw. Sig technically isn't part of your post but if Chu is happy with it I suppose good for you.
a. I'll give you that. That happens quite a bit.
b. Sounds reasonable enough.
c. Silence is consent
So what did it lead to? Nag only answered my quote with something like "go f*ck yourself, you noobish lyncher". I don't call that a defense, so I requoted and asked again.
We're still not on the same page here. Your point here is in reference to what occurred because of the post. I was making the point that you weren't talking about the discussion which created the quote.
- He wasn't saying anything. Except when "vote safari" counts as a very well thought through argument.
- I voted him for hypocricy first, then Nag insults me and now you jump all over me. Reread the argument, I only started grabbing my pitchfork and torch once Nag accused me of lyncher and you're his new sidekick.
- I know right? lol
- An implicit reason, to be sure, but a reason nevertheless. Again, that's just a theory.
- No, you didn't vote nag for hypocrisy first. Technically, it was the random vote (which may or may not have been random) at the beginning of the game. But even if I don't nitpick, your reason for voting him still comes from bandwagoning (on the surface, at least). So hypocrisy has been your most recent stated reason for voting him.
And once again, I'M NOT DEFENDING NAG. People always think I'm defending someone when I do stuff like this (and I can see why). Fact is, I'm getting a little frustrated because some people (notably nag) aren't talking at all.
Let's see.
"But no. Instead, he votes for nag using one of the worst crafted reasons ever. He claims that the guy with 39 PhDs would be the one with envy because he's metagaming Fircoal based on the fact that there's always a guy with 40 PhDs."
This is true. Nothing more to add. There indeed always is a guy with 40 phd's. As for the "worst crafted reasons ever", read the post from ga7 on page 6 and then fit in the envy argument.
BLAH! THIS IS WHY YOU QUOTE THINGS!
For the lazy:
ga7 wrote:I think the fact you'd be a doc without a phd makes me think you might have phd envy that could push you to kill others with phds. Say what you really feel, you can talk to us.
Vote Saf
Now that makes sense! Why didn't you just say that before?
"There are a lot of holes in this. Wouldn't a guy who has no PhDs be envious of people who do?"
Possible. But not definitive. As you've seen during the end-of-day scene.
"Doesn't that, I don't know, make SENSE?"
It does make sense, but since about half of all players in here have a PHD PR it doesn't matter.
It's true that it's not definitive, but safari's the one who acted like that, not nag, so it is what it is. Whether or not it was just safari being safari is questionable, but I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility considering that based on your posts that bragging is a part of yours (if it's even real, which I'm still not sure about but leaning towards real now. Still not sure though. And it doesn't mean your not scum if it is real.) Since that would make it a least/most type deal, I'd say that's plausible.
"Why should the guy with 39 be envious?"
Because the 40 phd doctor, who is always the "regular" doctor in Fir's games, has one phd more than the 39 phd doctor. He has ONE more phd than the 39 phd doc. Idk about you but if I had 39 phd's and all the cool kids had 40 I'd be pretty jealous.
Not definitive. Just because 40 is the "cool kid's number" doesn't mean anything. Apparently all the cool kids just have PhDs.
"If so, wouldn't the doc with 40 be the one who would be envious (which nag rightfully pointed out)? "
No he wouldn't. He has exactly the right amount of phd's. Who would he be envious about? Me? but I was faking my pr, remember
But from a hypothetical standpoint, wouldn't he be envious of you? And why wouldn't YOU be envious for also being one off?
"And on top of that, why isn't he concerned that the one with 40 was on the wagon, too?"
Because that guy had voted Saf a very long time ago and just didn't unvote. That's not the same as "being on the wagon".
As I noted earlier, covered.
Missing something?
Explanation would be nice.
Was in reference to your lack of PR in the post.
Are we looking at the same Page 6?
Still only 1 vote count. But there is one, I grant you that. I guess I was ignorant, punish me for it if you like.
4O LASHES!
Also (it'd really be very stupid to forget this now) I have 41 phd's
Ah, there it is.

I'm almost positive I've run into it before, so I don't doubt you there.
You've explained yourself somewhat, but there are still some loose ends so I'm not ready to unvote just yet.
For those of you complaining, feel free to add your thoughts. For those of you not complaining, feel free to add your thoughts.
