Could maybe see thar IGCD was around o guess but dipping after and not stating i agree sure

Red is well red its his norm

The difference is that in one scenario you're seeing a case and jumping on it without even saying anything. In the other scenario you're going after a person for a reason while someone else was already going after that person for an entirely different reason.

I mean, if a case is good it's not bad to follow it but neither of them double checked your points and if they had other reasons, they should have stated them. Either way the votes aren't good. It being the norm for the players does not change that.

On the other hand I think there is a clear difference between how you commented on Sultans Dumey vote and how Blade did it.

I know I asked for the explanation while Blade criticized it not being there, but my question should've still made Sultan stop and wonder if maybe Blade wasn't lying instead of calling him it multiple times more. But then Sultan said he missed it and if we believe that it kind of becomes a moot point.

If it was only to pressure me it's probably fine but otherwise IGCD and red both dropping an uxplained vote and dipping is a bad look. See now that is oppourtunistic.

Oh yeah, Bacondorf was there the round before, I forgot. Still, the bracket voting shouldn't go up that round.

This to me looks like you read over my posts, found little substance, felt it could be attacked and is now trying to double down because your attack was a bit rushed and not thought through. I mean, it's fair to pressure someone for lack of substance but mislabeling that lack of substance and (seemingly deliberately) misunderstanding what substance there was looks scum to me.

Asking someone questions or correcting their points is not commentary. 120-121 are the only posts there that isolated could look like it, but they are both extentions to my post right before them.

That summary is wrong or at least misleading multiple times and super weak. This is before even considering I don't think commentary is a problem to begin with in a game about sharing thoughts, as long as it eventually leads to action. I had not been around too much sure, but you labeled that incorrectly. On top of missing my point about my vote entirely.

I will give it that I do wonder why it took a bit for Ctes to vote Sultan when the blatantly lying post was made a while before that.

He said it once to Blade before clearing up our confusion. It was as soon as I saw he kept calling Blade a liar and not me that I placed the vote. I didn't think it looked scummy that he called Blade it the first time, a bit excessive but yeah.

I dont want this question to seem like its pulled in due to momentum, Ctes.
But what was, and now is, your stance on Sultan?

I don't think asking questions due to momentum would be a bad thing. Anyway

I thought that Sultan was being desperate to go after a lead without having one, so he picked something that worked in Blade "lying" about Sultan not explaining the vote (I don't think Blade lied obviously). When Blade had stated he saw no explanation, I asked for it, since Blade wasn't asking only making the point. Then Sultan quoted a post that had so little explanation that I missed it but I acknowledged it was there. At this point it should be clear to everyone what Sultan meant and how Blade and I misunderstood it. Then it looked to me like he was using this to attack Blade and thought it looked bad because he should have attacked me for it to the same degree (nevermind that the attack wasn't good to begin with, but not necessarily alignment indicative), which made it look not natural or I should have triggered the same reaction. So to sum up my stance was that was probably fake.

I was contemplating while finishing work and going home if I believed Sultan did actually miss those posts. Don't know if I reached any conclusion, but then I opened my PC to Sultan having just made an attack that also seemed fake because the reasoning didn't actually happen. For some reason Sultan insists on a leeching vote despite it being for different reasons and despite being reminded of that, which is too tunnelvisioned and also reminds me of a similar interaction I had with scum Sultan all the way back in Star Trek mafia where he also kept bringing up the the same point and ignoring that it didn't hold. This is important because Sultan does get confused at times. So to sum up my stance now, I like where my vote is.

You are aware that asking someone something is not commentary right? Also you ignored most of the content in that post. I didn't even vote for you for the reason Blade did and my reason should be super simple to understand.

And yes I saw, it wouldn't take many minutes to over those posts, though I doubt IGCD actually did it and made a conclusion in those three minutes.

I don't see how the interaction clears anyone when they were just thinking of different role mechanics that have been used here under the same name and not considering it could be different. But I don't believe this Blade/chang interaction can be scum/scum, it seems to real and random, so that's what I use we can take from it.

That feels fake as well because there is not a lot of commentary in the rest of my posts. There is not a lot of anything mind you, but there is no commentary at all. Granted, I know we sporatically use the term as something that covers whatever reason for little content, but every post of mine since the first one you mentioned is a direct question, an answer or a vote.

I mean, I could be convinced you hadn't seen my post despite it looking like you answered one of them with a quote, which would then be exceptional timing if it wasn't directed at me, but it flat out looked like you were voting Blade for something while ignoring that I did the exact same thing, which would not have made sense. Now that you are trying to throw words like leak, leech, and oppoutunistic at my vote, despite how it would be none of those and you already explained you initially missed multiple posts, it looks very much oppourtunistic in itself.

Did you not quote the post explaining it in response to me asking?

##vote: Sultan

Calling it a blatant lie is weird in itself because why would anyone blatantly lie about something like that if they found an explanation a few posts later. But for some reason it is not bothering him a single bit that I blatantly missed the exact same thing and asked for it, which makes the whole thing seem like a fake thing to be upset about to me.

Well, this is why it's hard to quantify how much bracket voting actually matters. At what point does it drop off? When people perceive their bracket is dead or when they don't have the right winner in the match?

That's true but we're taking about Robotnik doing worse than Ansem the previous round and finishing below CATS. So I'm thinking overlap was the bigger factor at least. Because bracket votes should not increase.

Ah, well okay

EDumey posted...

so it's not like he forgot we all knew

Was me bolding it instead of trying to make it decrete not obvious enough

What was the reason for the Dumey vote? I see the unvote, but still curious.

Ah, sure.

Could be a scum pineapple vender but in such a small game why?

You can make the exact same argument for town. And anyway, this is the meta you said was unnecessary.

I meant more lile was the contest not basically decided at that point. Everyone caring remotely would have Seph, Ganon, Seph. I suppose people not coming here could be different, but b8ers bracket vote less once they know they aren't winning anyway.

What do I usually not "demand attention" or what do you mean

I thought I would be fun and that there was basically throwing the entire bread in one piece anyway.

She also complained that there weren't enough zombies, in favour of going the cliched "Humans are the Real Monsters" route (They must have blown most of the zombie budget on episode 2 with that big war sequence, and the massive horde of zombies hiding under the snow).

Perhaps to a lesser extent, but this was also something I felt was missing in the second game.

By that I mean should be a PM regardless of alignment.

Well I guess the reason to lie about having missed it would be that you would have noticed it if a PM, but it should be a PM so I still don't think it's worth thinking much more about.

Add B8 Wiki

The Wiki deserves it more than anything to be honest.

I would not overthink IGCD seemingly not realizing what Ulti meant in that one post. There is no reason to lie about not having seen a PM imo. Agree that Ulti-IGCD can't be scum/scum.

My flavor is the in list and PM. It's weird if Blade's flavor doesn't match but wouldn't look into it.

My memory wants to say scum Ulti is more eager to confirm himself quickly than town Ulti even if both want it done quickly, although Ulti did say he wouldn't really be much around. It's been a while and I don't even think I played the last 2 or 3 games that was here.

Btw, Pineapple is the best fruit and I'm happy it's the canonical name here now. I don't think claiming it as a big deal. Only a potential town tracker wanting to target him now is probably true, but the mentioned catch of scum faking tracker is also practically the only thing he has given up which is also quite unlikely and I agree it's probably better to claim it now than potentially spend half a day arguing with the hypothetical town tracker another day.

Bracket should not matter too much at this stage of the contest, should they?

I'm in the final stretch of Landstalker but faced a bit of burnout after an annoying boss. I enjoy it, but the combat isn't that great and difficulty exposes the flaws of the game. I think aside from a few annoying bosses, only Greenmaze has not been enjoyable.

Well I mean, the totals are down for all options and it's just a higher percentage stuck around from those times.

Does the b8 wiki and gamefaqscontests count? Because then I may have to make space for them

Probably want to try it at some point given Elden Ring is one of my favorite games but no cross play is a tough sell given the people I would preferably play with.

Oh yeah, I meant Landstalker, no idea why I wrote the previous game I played instead.

Wario Land 4 is incredibly good. I have played it countless times on GBA back in the day. Here's no hoping they add the first two at some point soon, even if they aren't as good.

I hope to finish Kid Chamleon and one more game before the weekend, which should be possible since tomorrow is a holiday. This is because I will be marathoning Ocarina of Time in the weekend with two friends that has never before played it before in our monthly (okay not really monthly anymore) game club. I played ALttP with the same people early last year. One of them has since played LBW. Both had played BotW beforehand, one also TotK, that's their full Zelda exposure. This is what I want to be #150 which is why I need to finish two more games.

I will take the list as inspiration and pick C3PO

Well seems like you have the easier stuff gone then. First two are short but can be difficult or frustrating. Third is nice but takes a good amount of time depending on what you put down as the goal. Fourth is obviously the longest but also the best time.

10. Beat a remake or enhanced port
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Switch)

Tagging people like I did last time got a decent chunk to sign. Again, most people that played regularly don't come here often.

How did he not even make 2013 though

So how many are started but not finished? That was a solid bunch knocked out.

I will be in, but I have not decided on a character yet.

I think needing help with a Pokmon game. I don't really recall what came first, but I used the site for guides long before ever considering posting at least.

Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)
Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)
Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)
Stone Tower Temple (Majora's Mask)

Breath of the Wild was not really big because of its dungeons.
