Let me try again... why are you talking about this hijacking thing...? why is it significant for you to talk about it?
It doesn't really involve you, as it was directed toward ashersky. And it wasn't really an accusation at ashersky as it was me explaining why I was talking about faust--as he perceived I was defending him. So why is it important to you?
the hijacking language is what got me. Even while you were sick, while you had no home internet, and all that you posted more than most people in this game. I really really REALLY don't like lurkers/people who quit playing. It detracts from the game and enjoyment of everyone. And I also felt you were unjustly accusing ashersky for something he is not doing. He is actually posting. The thing is, the more you talk about why Faust is not scum without any sort of case against anyone else (I guess you have me) what does ash have to talk about? Say you come out with a case against insomniac. (Used as a place holder and because everyone else is sleeping through this game) insomniac has said this, that, and the other and you find him super scummy. You state why you think that person is scummier, you garner some support, and get people talking. Awesome. That hasn't happened. Because there is no other case with anyone being scummier.
but basically I thought the hijacking language was unfair sure to the low activity from anyone else. You can't hijack something no one else owns
Ok.
First some points...
Everyone can play the amount they want to play. I am with you, I want others to post more. But the rules of the game are to post once every 24 hours. Few players, if any are actually breaking this rule. If they are ask for them to be prodded. Quitting playing is always bad, but no one appears to have quit. Some people just post less than you and me. And that is ok. They might get lynched more often because of it, but hey... that is the game.... Just like a person in RL mafia who is quiet is also likely to get lynched... I am thrilled you are posting a lot and have been a great addition to the forum games community but not everyone can post as much as you and me. It took me a while to get to this point of accepting people who post less, but you have to.
As for the hijacking part. He did... maybe we have a different interpretation of hijacking, but ash repeatedly over and over again, any time he had anything to say at all it was something along the lines of "instead of doing X, let's lynch faust."

herethat is a lot, especially as I was rereading the faust case and ash specifically... these posts just keep kinda saying the same things over and over...
and again, keep in mind that the term "hijack" was used in response to this from ash:
What reason do you have, as town, to so heavily defend faust? That's the question I have for you, and for anyone else pitching defensive walls up around him. I don't see it.
where he asks why I am defending faust so heavily... And the answer is... I am responding to the huge number of posts that you are making about faust (the hijack), why are you surprised that I am writing a huge post about him... you have been talking non-stop about him.
So maybe you see me saying ash hijacking the thread is terribly bad and anti-town. No, I don't really think it is all that bad, so maybe I should have used a less harsh sounding word, but when I get criticized for giving opinion on something that ash obviously wants people to talk about I am going to get a little harsh....
And I still don't know why we are having this conversation in the first place. What do you want from me out of it?
