    I also got a snap person-read from this post. However, I pretty much have to be wrong on it.

    If I was right, this post would look very good for Disney. However, it would mean they're not moderating their posting style at all in a post that is about distinct typing styles. Those two facts don't mix for me.

        I don't really think you should get caught up in who's who, just who's what. This goes for everyone else as well.

          Perhaps focusing it as a read on a specific person was the wrong way to go about it.

          Independently of the person, there's not a lot about Disney's posting that is stylistically indicative to me, and that also does not mesh with concern over being distinctive.

            I just realized that Xiz recovered an account from 2003 for the sake of this game.

            You should feel lucky.

              I think it's fitting. This account was founded in FFR's proverbial garage.

I'm favoring the latter two interpretations.
                This is an interesting take. Not sure exactly how that role works though.
                Because of the 'Your previous company gets flipped in return', it seems to me like the acquisitioner wouldn't have to worry about imitating a ceo, since the next phase they'll be flipped anyway when they switch to a different target.

                  I'm going for the Flesch-Kincaid clear. If my longer posts rapidly deteriorate in grammatical quality between days or start reading like someone ejaculated a thesaurus, I could be compromised.

                    Ironically, I think I know who you are from this post.

                      They take over the company they target. This means they must imitate that company for at least a day.

                      Given that takeovers can apparently happen nightly, it's powerful, but I disagree that they wouldn't have to worry about imitation.

                        I did not use a thesaurus in writing the post.

                        I don't think that will affect your read, though.

                          Nah, I know for sure now.

                          The change you've made is noticeable, but even breaking out a dusty thesaurus instead of a brand new one won't change anything.

                          You guys are pretty lucky I'm not the whatever its called, I'd wipe the floor with you fools.

                            Well, I thought a bit of a change would help. I think unmodified me is a little too easy to copy.

                            On the other hand, you're now in charge of making sure I'm me

                              Yeah, I'm stupid and forgot they'd have to do it for that one day before switching to new target, otherwise they'd be lynched. That's a pretty good point then.
