Space,
So you told me you were a motion detector, even though your role said you were a monitor of some sort. And now you're saying that actually, it said all along that you're a watcher, except that faust really meant to say you're a tracker. Does that cover it?
Yes. I explained this in the response to Ashersky. The word "track" was in not part of my descriptor or the explanation of how my role works until this morning. I didn't know that is what I was. If DatSwan and I had longer to talk, I think he would have set me straight. He asked me to tell him the exact text in our QT so he could understand. But then I quoted and then it got locked and then he died.
Can you also confirm that you agree that you really did say that you'd quoted from your QT with Swan initially, but that you then updated yourself to say that you were quoting something in that QT? This one still worries me, because while the motion detector issue is a question of mafia rules/familiarity, this other one is a question of use of English, which I understand you're something of an expert at!
I 100% agree that my post was not clear. Here is what I said
Hi! I did not have chat N3. I quoted something from my QT with DatSwan and the repercussions were not chat ability for N3.
When I said "from my QT with DatSwan" what I was trying to say is that I quoted something from my QT (when I was talking) with DatSwan. I am obviously not trying to hide what happened and it is more clear when a couple of posts after that one when I say
I don't really know why faust decided to resolve it that way. One guess is that because I shared QT info in another QT, none of which was in the game thread, it does make some sense to have it be a QT penalty.
If the quoted material in question was not
in the QT with DatSwan, I don't see how it makes sense. Where would the quote I was penalized for be posted, if not the QT? If it had been in the game, you'd have seen it and the penalty would have been public. I now have 4 QTs that I flip between, so it is a bit confusing. But, its my fault for being unclear. It's not inconsistent, just not well explained. If it was some sort of slip, I really wouldn't be offering so much information in an attempt to clear it up. Obviously, a better way to say it would have been "I quoted something from my QT with faust when I was posting in the QT with DatSwan." You're right...I know a whole bunch about language and words are kind of my jam. I'd expect better from the professional version of me. This was just a lazy typing error, probably because I was on my phone. There is another error at the end of the sentence..I say "not chat" when that should have been "no chat".
I do agree with e that you sound really townie -- I've been saying that all along -- but I also know you're smart, and I don't want to underestimate you. So if we as a town are going to overlook these scumslip-magnitude u-turns, then I want to document it here for future reference!
Thank you for the grace. I apologize for the wasted time and effort. It wasn't my intention to obfuscate or be unclear. I have been trying to play transparently and I hate it that a perfect storm of inexperience errors, a mod error, and a mod penalty are giving the folks I consider my team reason to doubt me.
TL;DR- Didds was unclear and erroneous, and prone to typos, but is still town
