Ghost Mafia - 3 out of 33 survive - Town wins!

[DPR]

[WWWwombat]

Let's analyze Rand's montstrous post that he's so proud of shall we?

 

1.  Admits that he sees what I am saying about telegraphing cases but says that he was worried about getting distracted in such a large game and therefore telegraphed his case to remind himself.  This doesn't hold water for me.  I usually don't reread my own posts.  Furthermore, if I wanted to remind myself of something, I wouldn't bury the reminder in the game thread where I might forget it but the mafia may very well see it.  Rand's explanation is implausible imo.

 

2.  Misinterprets Ape's vote on him to be for making an annoying quote block when clearly, the Ape was voting Rand for the content of the quote (as implied by Ape's expressed interest in anyone who may have followed his Ithi/Verbal lynch suggestions).

 

3.  Pokes fun at and dismisses another couple votes on him.  This seems odd to me.  Seems like he is trying to force a casual attitude towards votesd against him or he needs something to fill out his post.

 

4.  Agrees with my no lynch suggestion, albeit with somewhat convoluted reasoning (this is the only thing about this post I even remotely like).

 

5.  Launches into a bloviating treatise on grammar designed to criticize EP and defend Nolder.  This mammoth paragraph is needlessly verbose as well as incorrect.  Furthermore, he explicitly refuses to summarize it.  I could summarize his point in seven words:  EP sucks at grammar; Nolder didn't slip.  That wasn't so hard was it?  So why doesn't he do this?  Because he wants a mammoth post that looks impressive but says very little other than chastising EP and defending Nolder.  This is further supported by his apparent disappointment at the lack of comments on his post.

 

Rand has now overdefended both EP and Nolder as well as having tried to entangle the alignments of Hallia and Lily with that of Ithi.  Scumtastic.

For those of you wondering as to how exactly Rand's grammatical argument is incorrect, it is because EP's interpretation of Nolder's post was technically correct.  It is true that the suffix -ing can be used to turn a verb into a pure noun, but in this case, such an unambigious interpretation of Nolder's words would be iffy at best.  That is not to say that Nolder did not mean what Rand said he meant.  I don't recall Nolder having impeccable grammar and this is a very minor mistake, so I think to call it a slip is pretty silly.  That being said, it is equally absurd to say that EP's interpretation of Nolder's statement is grammatically incorrect.  In fact, out of context, EP's interpretation is much more likely than Rand's.  The verb "to recruit" already has a noun form ("recruitment") that Nolder could have used in his post without having to resort to the -ing suffix, thereby avoiding any possibility of his noun being interpreted as a gerund.  That being said, I think the context of the sentence makes it clear that Nolder meant for the phrase to be interpreted in the way that Rand interpreted it.  Still, claiming that EP's interpretation is grammatically incorrect is downright false and, in my opinion, qualifies as either overdefense of Nolder, or arrogant ignorance.

 

Also, I'm not sure why Rand says the word "recruiting" is not tied to any other verb or noun in the sentence, as with either Rand's interpretation or EP's interpretation, the word "recruiting" is the object of the verb "stop," but that's not particularly relevant to this game.

I like Wombat's short posts better.   However, this one is very persuasive. I was already on Rand last hour, and I'm willing to go there again.

1. You're basing it off what you do, I do go back and look at my posts when making a case because I have a tendency to forget things, so it works for me.

 

2. Oh Ok, that's why, I honestly didn't know what that vote was for.

 

3. That was one vote...

 

4. The reasoning helps me think, that made me reach the same conclusion as you.

 

5. No, that was half criticizing EP and half practicing for my SAT because they ask questions like that. :P In all seriousness, I didn't want to do it in your short summarized way because then someone would have just told me either no, or explain why.  Guaranteed.  And please explain to me how it is incorrect.  Wait nevermind you go into it later.

 

Yes, I overdefended the confirmed town and corrected a grammar mistake.  So sorry.

 

And as for the grammar, I should have clarified that recruiting was connected to any noun or pronoun that implied possession.  And plus, even as a verb, "we can stop recruiting" does not imply possession of the recruiting by we.  Thats what I was pointing out was grammatically wrong.

With 32 players, it takes 17 to lynch. With this group, it'll be a damned miracle if we even get close - the poor lynch rope is lonelier than that old, dusty bottle of Drambuie in the back of my liquor cabinet.  Come to think of it...

Okay, taking the pup and the wife downtown Boston to the SoWa market for some culture and stuff. See y'all later at some point.

 

 

Have fun Ape.  Eat something yummy and fattening.  

 

 

SoWa has come a long way in the 3 years since the last time I went. There is a whole section with just food trucks... in order, I ate:

 

a grilled haddock fish taco

a pulled pork sandwich

a plate of chicken and rice (sounds boring, tastes epic)

a fresh baked chocolate chunk cookie ice cream sandwich made to order

 

whoa.

 

Do people your age still use the word Epic?

Ok so I will reveal some info now: 

 

I used the FLIR camera to check if Eternal Phoenix is a ghost or not. I started this game out as a Vanilla, and I got the item at the start of 09:00. It was an one-shot ability/item and I was told that it will expire at 10:00 or when a lynch is achieved.
