Re: TWG CXXXIV: C9++: The Last of You GAME THREAD
The confirmation bias in this post is... appalling? Astounding? Your reasoning overall is baffling, given that most of your "facts" rely on opinions that can easily be refuted by someone with opposing opinions.
Examples!
You say I was "joking and goofing around" more last game, yet the definition of such is so vague you can say that no matter the amount of joking content present (and you do seem to have ignored a number of less serious posts, just a few of which are quoted below).
To be fair, I have been trying to make more content-heavy/relevant posts (as evidenced by my first few posts in the game), rather than merely a sparse sentence or two; however, this is more due to my (attempted) scheduling changes and the fact that I actually want to contribute some opinions in case I am killed early again.
I have done this, and I would say that I have done so with more depth than last game (though this is itself an opinion; see above paragraph). The issues about me are part of the events of the game. I'm not sure why you're implying that addressing them should be a bad thing (and it's usually an expected thing, actually, at least where I'm used to playing). As I mentioned before, considering there was little or nothing else to comment on at the time, your comment makes little sense.
This is where opinions especially play in. As I have said before, your definitions, especially that of the word "defensive" seem to be so vague and malleable they could be applied to anybody. As I have also stated previously, making a "defense" is different from being defensive. I believe you are confusing the two.
I did that last game as well. A quick search yields these quotes (on the same page, even! Wow!).
That is fairly normal for me, although, I assure you, if I am dead set on an accusation, I will pursue it relentlessly. I am not at that stage yet. Now, a few examples!
I only have strong opinions on a few people on either end of the spectrum. I don't want to make a reads list that doesn't accomplish anything, considering I have already stated opinions on a number of people (which don't necessarily fall into strict categories).
Insanely subjective and completely false. That's all I have to say about that. Now, excuse me, but I must eat.

He was also a more active and opinionated voice, commenting on events and posts that weren't directed at him more often and with more depth, always theorizing and exploring the possibilities with what we now know was a genuine perspective. I'm not seeing that as much this game.
What I'm seeing is defensive play and bare minimum commentary about this and that.
I see a lot of "Seems weird to me" or "Not sure what to think" or "I have my eyes on" types of comments with little explanation underlying them.
Also, compare the abundance of words and points that he uses in posts defending himself to the dearth of words used when he points elsewhere.
By this point last game he had also posted a well-formed reads list, whereas this game I'm struggling to know where he stands aside from his views on v, zenith and myself.
He seems hesitant to voice opinions, and I think that's because he has no opinions
