My thoughts is that I'm missing something since Disney is getting freaked out over his posts apparently.

Okay so I'm actually way more busy than I expected and can't talk about anything else for the most part, so sorry everyone.

Oh, totally! I know exactly how you feel! Why just the other day during one of our meetings, some jerk barged in and demanded I take a call about someone putting their head in an oil can.

Can you believe that? Jerk trying to disturb an important busy meeting?

Sheesh.

fitting that Google is the one to respond

I must be missing something then. Alibaba is giving a little bit of town cred to Apple in this post, and the following posts Alibaba is talking directly to IBM. IBM dismissed Apple's theorycrafting that he could be the acq. himself, and then Alibaba responded with the line I quoted.

I think this is best left for Alibaba to explain when they return to thread.

People who have an idea about the true identity of the CEO will know that this isn't really out of character or worth lynching

What's fitting about it? I'm merely pointing out there's nothing to explain, you're just not reading it properly

There's also the fourth interpretation that they are the Acquisitioner themselves, unless that's what you meant by the second suggestion. I think drawing attention to themselves that way would be a net negative though. By the same logic as your third suggestion, a village-aligned CEO should not want to be Acquired, though, since their acquisition would be bad for the village and would also be an acquisition that doesn't happen to the wolves.

I don't get what's to explain about it, the progression is easy to understand

Interesting that you loves are labeling me anti-town for not contributing much; quite frankly, I'm far from superb at day 0 solving, as I'm not very keen on semantics. I'd say it is definitely a fair accusation, though. Definitely doesn't help that I'm a bit busy with some other... matters.

I must say though, that it can be quite the... difficulty to have inactives in this style of game, due to the presence of an acquisitioner.

On a similar topic, the prior... troubles towards IBM, as well as their diligence in retaining a posting style that is difficult to replicate, leads me to push them as being non-VT; not sure whether that's red or blue, of course. I feel like it would especially be a babe in a seat of particular... power that would go to such a length, as to be an undesirable acquisition, because it would definitely be a crucial matter to not lose such an essential role.

I think, and bare with me here a tad bit, the whole ordeal may be wolf-orchestrated, to divert heat away from the wolf PRs. That's all I'm seeing anyways... though I'd just love to see more.

It was a joke on the fact that you're Google.

I guess I'm just an idiot.

Dirty as it is to say, this is where I am too.

If it's an act instead I'm impressed.

[Wells Fargo]

It feels like Xiz recruited people from Mafiauniverse or whatever the site is, or maybe inDheart/AA.

If that's not the case then I mean this as a compliment to some of the more active posters here.

Toyota, no one is "good at solving on d0," so saying that you're not good at d0 isn't really a reason to not participate. I get that you're busy (especially if you are who I think you are), but we're gonna need more than what you've given.

[Toyota]

For what it's worth too, dears, I'm not terribly fond of Alibaba right now. I've looked back over their... posts, and there's a trend of verbosity with not much being said (notably #202 and #216). It's very similar to why I'm being redread, I'd say: popping in infrequently, and coming of as well thought out due to high... word count.

This is fair. I just don't want to lead you fellows on... the wrong path, due to my own poor perceptions. If it's what you all want, I'll start opening up, however incorrect it may prove.

who cares if you're wrong or right or way off or kinda close. Just post, and I don't mean shit post.

RE: Highlighted companies,

A quick report has been dispatched.

Above post claims IBM's posting style was extreme. Analysis indicates this is far from being true, but we'll move on from that now that he has decided not to do it.

(Victoria) I'd just like to briefly mention that I find IBM's reasoning for stopping his alternating letters is fishy, or he just got tired of role playing. I don't fucking know yet.

Like nobody could really be this out of touch with the game

Above poster indicates Visa's neglect of game rules. China Mobile task squad agrees with said analysis and would like Visa's feedback on the matter.

Above post was cross checked with Toyota post history. Use of ellipses is attributed to attempt at a posting quirk, confirmation required. Poster also claims retention of a hard-to-replicate posting style indicates red/blue, but our analysis disagrees with this statement. Use of such posting style indicates a player's will to defend against acquisition and leave clues for remaining corporations, nothing more.

(Victoria) Why the fuck are you trying to bring up IBM as a non-VT role anyway?

Cheers wankers,

Victoria

[Toyota]

I'd say I don't much like Visa or McDicks, for their... lack of caring about reading the OP. But that topic has been beaten to death, yes?

I recall some people being fond... of Amazon particularly, but I don't get that impression.

I am the last person to be requesting this, but I want... more from Microsoft. I'm leaning Verizon green-y right now, but some more from them too would help me decide my true thoughts.

Oooh my, yes this is good, good... and this is true too. Though, I could still see even... further stress on not being taken over by a PR, be it red or blue.

The IBM as non-VT, dear, is to truly scope in on my thoughts, yes? I would sooner lean red than blue, mind.

[Apple]

China Mobile, I'd like to reiterate this from earlier:

Switching to Visa because of my agreement that the posts come across as kind of bad attempts of dumbtells/fabrications and the post I quoted where they said they'd mess up reading the OP and speculate about number of wolves as either role.
