House Stokeworth Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just didn't like how he said Tyrell was sneaky, and then wouldn't explain the comment. It's not a huge point against him, but it's enough to get him on my radar.It was the fourth post in the game. What were you expecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Stokeworth Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The game wasn't moving so it wasn't advantageous to put himself out there with something as crap as that, especially since someone would easily pick up on it like Arryn did.Is it ever advantageous to post something as crap as that?

House Dondarrion Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is it ever advantageous to post something as crap as that?Crap like that? No. But people do get the feeling (or feel pressure) that they need to post something in order to look like they're contributing. Generally speaking, I would expect a FM to do that when others have been contributing and they haven't, not when no one was contributing and they haven't. So even if it's crap, there was an advantageous reason to make the post, at least in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Velaryon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Why is it weird?I have no problem with Arryn's vote on Plumm nor his defense of the vote. The post was suspicious enough even though I'm not suspicious of it.I do, however, agree with the point against Baratheon. The whole exchange was hypocritical.remove vote as I'm still voting Plumm from joke vote stage.Hypocritical how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Dondarrion Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hypocritical how?Uh, didn't I explain this already?You thought he was aggressive and overdefensive. I asked you how you would defend yourself. You said pretty much the same way. Yet you still think he's suspicious for being aggressive and overdefensive (which is debatable as it is).

House Velaryon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The post was suspicious enough. Meaning I understand why someone would find it suspicious. Arryn broke it down well enough. But I don't find it suspicious because the timing isn't right. There was no need to make that kind of post. The game wasn't moving so it wasn't advantageous to put himself out there with something as crap as that, especially since someone would easily pick up on it like Arryn did.Make more sense?Crap like that? No. But people do get the feeling (or feel pressure) that they need to post something in order to look like they're contributing. Generally speaking, I would expect a FM to do that when others have been contributing and they haven't, not when no one was contributing and they haven't. So even if it's crap, there was an advantageous reason to make the post, at least in my eyes.I think I'm missing something - it seems like you're saying Plumm's post is not suspicious, then the second quote sounds like you think it is?(eh, I think I answered my own question while writing this, but would still like to hear you explain it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first post is saying the timing isn't right which the second is expounding upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Velaryon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Dondarrion, perhaps I was being a bit flippant with my answer 'I'd defend myself like he did'. What I meant was that I would always defend my thoughts. What I didn't like is that he was a bit snippy about it and seemed a touch overdefensive. I, of course, would find that perfect balance of defensive and reasonable with out even a hint of overdoing it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Velaryon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Huh?Yeah, like I said - I'd pretty much answered it myself as I was posting it. Just wanted to make sure I was interpreting it right, so wanted you to answer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Redfort Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Piper - you still feel good about that vote on Arryn?I'm good. Thanks for asking.Have been pondering switching to you though.I think I need to have a think about some people who I haven't formulated opinions on to date, as I'm not going to be around for the rest of the day after I leave in about an hour.

Lady Gaga Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Kettleblack, I'd like to hear your response to my post here.Well, considering the timing of that Plumm's post, I see nothing wrong with it. Your critique is right, but what do you want from one of the earliest serious posts of the game? Those are always like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Stokeworth Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Crap - I don't like that word.I was echoing Dondarrion for rhetorical effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Dondarrion Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I just did a reread of Stonetree and guess what I found out. He likes Arryn. Guess what I didn't find out. Anything else.About 2/3rds of his posts are questions and not a single question he follows up on. He has no opinions minus one posts that says "I like Arryn" and yet he has the most posts. It's ridiculous.I also wouldn't be against lynching Baratheon for reasons stated but we need some spotlight on Stonetree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Velaryon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm good. Thanks for asking.Have been pondering switching to you though.Pretty much what I thought. You seemed to be swinging to me in your thoughts and I wondered why you hadn't out and out switched yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
