I'll be honest - as a person playing this game, I have trouble digesting the hyper-aggressive way that you respond to someone trying to make a case that you may be scum. Calling everything I say bullshit and rubbish, saying I am getting up on a high horse -- even things like calling PPS monumentally stupid for not reading the fine print on the item he bid for - just seems really unneccessary to me.
If you think I am lying and manufacturing everything I say, why not just ask me questions designed to expose the flaws in my reasoning and make them more clear for everyone to see?
If you can't play a little less crass, I am going to have a hard time arguing with you or treating anything you say as more than just textbook OMGUS.
I will try though!
Mmmff.
On the off-chance that you're town, I apologise.
I may have overreacted a bit to what looks to me like a deliberate attempt to misrepresent me. I still believe that that's what you're doing, but even scum!you doesn't deserve an explosion like that from me. I'm sorry.
I'm a bit frustrated, this being my first game in a while and getting weirdly read as scummy (by a player I usually get on well with) for what I see as no good reason whatsoever.
I won't apologise to PPS; I think he'll be agreeing with me from the speccy that he screwed up bigtime. (Unless there was some mod-error that caused all of this, which is unlikely from faust.)
I don't tend to "answer a question with a question" very much. I think I've exposed the flaws in your reasoning myself without asking you questions that you could then twist to suit you. If you strip the (unnecessary - again I apologise) emotional language from my previous post, I think you'll see I'm just defending myself from an unwarranted attack.
Why would PPS be more likely to be lying?
Thankyou for putting what I said in a much clearer and less emotionally-charged way.
