Ba Da Ba Ba Bah, I'm Lovin' It!

China Mobile is my new favorite person. Also, semi-serious vote on Visa for speculating about how many wolves there are. That's a really easy way to look town, because only the wolves know how many wolves are in the game.

You're not the first person to say something about the number of wolves in the game and I don't know why people continue to bring it up.

The answer is in the first post. It's 4. The roles posted there are the exact roles in the game. This is known. Everyone knows how many wolves are in the game. If you add the numbers, you will get 20.

This is why I called Visa's post the worst in the thread.

Speculating about someone speculating about the number of wolves being an easy way to look town is an easy way to look town

Also, IBM is more than a minor annoyance to me given that they're going to keep their gimmick up. It's of negative value to town, obfuscates their posts and makes them look silly.

It also gives them a significant amount of scum equity, since they've already gone to great lengths to make themself never an Acquisition target. It looks like one of: a style the Acquisitioner will never imitate, one they will abandon quickly if they are the Acquisitioner, or a play aimed at making sure the Acquisitioner can't infiltrate the wolves using IBM as a vector. I'm favoring the latter two interpretations.

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.

Agreed.

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.

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.

Hey, Google's also from 2003.

Pleasure to be your contemporary.
