I guess I need to specifically highlight the parts of my posts where I describe why I thought Albarn was acting scummy? All right, then. Hopefully all the innocents in this thread can weather the storm of this wall of text.
I know this is all fun and exciting, but pushing people to post because there's four or five hours of silence in ED1? Don't give me your "get in here" nonsense, we celestials lead busy lives. I have family to attend to and rituals to perform and parties to attend! The path to enlightenment isn't so easy that I can spend every waking moment gracing you with my presence. Maybe someday, if you work hard enough for it, you'll follow the path of enlightenment to Heaven, but empty town-posturing about deadlines and activity and 'scum love silence we must galvanize into action' aren't going to start you on that road, especially during ED1. Post #32 is way too early for walls, too.
This was specifically in reference to #33 and generically in reference to Albarn's prevaling attitude at the time (#32 and #34 also had commentary on the alleged lack of activity). Posts like #33 are the exact opposite of effort, by the way, since you kept using that word in regards to your perceptions of my voting reasons.
The large post had some opinions in it, I get that, but they're ED1 opinions, and scum can form ED1 opinions too, so guess how much weight I put in them overall. (Also go read Busy's #37.) More important to me was the pointless chaff. Complaining about activity twice in the span of four hours of presence (and then worrying over a "coherent lynch at the end of the day" when there's still about 60 hours to go) is cluttering up the thread. Period. So is prodding "lurkers" less than 24 hours into the game. One faction is hindered by a cluttered-up thread, one faction benefits from a cluttered-up thread. Guess which faction is which?
I didn't see anything more worthy of my vote at the time, so there it went. Stayed. Whatever.
Bold for emphasis is new, as much as I don't think it should be necessary. Also noteworthy is that "coherent lynch at the end of the day" is pulled straight from one of Albarn's posts (#33, in fact!), which is why it was in quotes, so if anyone still wasn't quite sure what I was trying to reference they could have at least found the Albarn post that contained it to help themselves on their way.
There is also this piece that came right after the end of the last quote.
Hopefully this clears up for the rest of you why the vote was laid down, since people seem to think I voted because Albarn talked about anything or something? I don't really get the nature of most of the rest of the accusations against me, since I thought I made it pretty clear in my voting post which part of Albarn's combo I was focusing on.
This was written partly due to the question(s) you posed and partly due to similar questions from other people, which I will also post here so the comparison is easy to see.
Miss Hinanawi, if I am understanding correctly, your current vote is placed on somebody that you believe to be putting their best efforts into this game solely for that reason? Do you have any other reasoning for voting for miss Alburn?
If you're upset that I didn't include things like "You are not understanding correctly, because that was not the reason for my vote" or "Yes, I have a different reason for voting Albarn", then I don't know what to tell you. I figured me (re)providing my reason for voting for Albarn would have answered your questions enough since it was not the reason you posited.
Why's Albarn peachy now? Because the chaff stopped and I haven't seen Albarn say anything new that I strongly disagree with from an in-game standpoint.
This post is already wider than the gap between Heaven and Gensokyo's surface dwellers, so I'll try to be concise with what I feel are the remaining important points.
* If by "a sizeable portion" you mean "it was the last of four things I listed, the first three of which were, in order, discussing Farina at length and then voting for someone that wasn't Farina with far less explanation, suspecting Farina over what was pretty obviously RP to the point of thinking it was a third party softclaim, and finding Farina suspicious for not pursuing a point against me when you didn't pursue a point against Irene", then yes, "a sizeable portion" of my vote was on you for being inattentive.
* With that said, I will concede the difference in Farina's comments about me and your comments about Irene. I had parsed "questionable" as you finding something suspect with Irene's methods and then simply not following up on it.
* With
that said, I'm not happy that I had to requote a large part of my case here, especially given the existing "inattentiveness" accusation. I still don't understand where the multiple misconceptions of my voting reasons came from, and seeing them come from you a second time after I had tried to clear things up really makes me wonder how much of my post you're reading. Nor can I see where you gathered that the inattentiveness was "a sizeable portion" of my original case, as much as your continued behavior has spiked it up.
