I'm repeating a lot of what you said here, but this is how I divide things (while mentioning the two very deserving individuals above that you disrespected with your omission): From 2008-2010: The Bourgeoisie (Ver, Incognito, Qatol,Flamewheel, Radfield, iNfuNdiBuLuM, Pyr, L, Ace, BC) Defining Characteristics: -Strong analytical cases backed up by logic -Persuasive and strongly opinionated in regards to how the game should be played -Perhaps you could make the argument that this group could be split in two based on style: A few of the earlier names preferring large walls of texts to convince others, while the later names preferring a more aggressive bullying style -Sometimes a bit stubborn and hesitant to listen to the opinions outside their group The Proletariats and Court Jesters (Amber, chaoser, RoL, BrownBear, Pandain, Opz, Artanis, Bill Murray, chezinu, Caller, bumatlarge, Foolishness) Defining Characteristics: -All capable players, but always held back by the dominance of the upper group. Foolishness was probably an exception who eventually rose to the upper group -Adopted unique posting styles placing a high value on entertaining others through their posts -Perfected the art of trolling while still making valuable contributions to the game 2010-2011 The Doctor Helvetica Baby Boomers (Meapak, Node, Kenpachi, Kita, Wiggles, Coag, Jackal, GMarshal, GGQ) Defining Characteristics: -A large group of players that started playing within a few months period around the time of Haunted and Insane. -Initially viewed the Bourgeoisie as living legends, but friction eventually developed between the two groups after accusations of elitism. Eventually most of the Bourgeoisie stopped playing for various reasons, while a lot of the Proletariats stuck around for another couple years and stepped into the veteran role. -Frequently made use of post by post analysis style posts that were less focused than before but provided more specific examples, concluding with broad themes that were common among those posts. This style was strongly looked down upon by others due to the size of a single post. 2011-2012 The New Kids on the Block (Palmar, Sandroba, Syllogism, mig, Curu, VisceraEyes, prplhz, Toad, bugs, GreYMisT) Defining Characteristics: -Popularized the idea of using "meta" to compare a player's current play to their play in past games and draw conclusions based on the similarities or differences. -Played so many games together that they developed frighteningly accurate reads on each other that were not very clear to the groups that came before or after them. -The role a "thread bully" became popular with several players in this list, similar to the style used by earlier players like Ace, L, BC. Aggressively pushed their views and tunneled on targets that refused to listen. 2012-Current -A plague of dirty spammers that I refuse to acknowledge plus austin -Use a conversational style to maximize information -Place strong value on "feel" reads, rather than well defined cases -Started playing around the time that newbie games became popular developing strong familiarity with each other similar to the previous group, but specific to a certain set of newbies such as hapa/prome/iamp/Keirathi or the video mafia peeps. -Showed a strong preference for mini games, while large games and themed games began to fall out of favor -Popularized the idea of a last minute "wagon of justice" -A small sub-group of players emerged that place zero value on convincing others, instead focusing on identifying the appropriate players to sheep | ||

I love cases honestly I love reading them and making them, sometimes i'm wrong sometimes i'm right when I write them but I think they can really destroy scum but I've found they aren't really recepted well sometimes. For instance I used to make much bigger cases than I do now, with quotes etc., and I had to totally stop that to get people to read what I wrote. Mostly as HF would put it its just boring, so I had to go with more of a mainstream paragraph form and make people fact check it themselves. Its effective but people still don't listen to me as much as people who just conversate, sometimes its hard meh. But that was a great read | ||

I guess what I'll do is focus on not spamming in my own play from now on. Don't expect more than a 10 page from me in any games going further barring unusual circumstances. | ||

If you ever have something relevant to say to the thread, but then you think "meh, I've posted too much, I'll just hold on to it", then you're doing it wrong. Maybe your definition of relevant to the thread could a bit stricter in general, but if you have something relevant to say, say it. *To be clear, I mean the global "you", not you specifically. | ||

I'm pretty sure I can easily catch any scumteam with 200 posts, so it's a non-issue. 90% of my posts are me like quoting someone and saying "lol ur mom" or something anyways so don't worry | ||

This is really true and an under-appreciated skill. Too often, however, people look to vets who they trust to be good at the game (regardless of their read on that vet), as opposed to sheeping their TRs who have a strong grasp on the game. | ||

Like that game Damdred made a case on Eden, no-one had really thought about Eden but when Damdred made the case most people read it and went "yeah, that's right". This is basically on par with you trying to claim that your case on plammmar was good in Heavyweight Champ 2 and you got him lynched, when I was the one that called him out in the first 5 posts. I did the same thing with Eden zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring marv. BORING | ||
