I'm just going to make these two posts, then I'm pretty much done for today: I have better things to do than stress myself out over this. So, typing this post and the next post the night before the game starts up again.
First, ##Vote ActionDan
ActionDan is the most useless and most detrimental player in this entire game, and I have a really hard time believing that it's "because he's new" or "because he's derptown" or whatever other reason people might come up for him. A few points:
First, his first "serious action", if you can call him that, is pressing UK on, of all things, the meta behind a joke vote. Everyone knows it was a joke vote, it was so obvious, but he then later treats it as though he was responding to a serious question by me in his defense against Hourai, despite the fact that it was blatantly obvious that I was treating it like a joke vote. This leads on to Bardiche voting for UK because it was one of the more interesting things going on (the other one being my dumbass vote on Rou), and then Dan proceeds to waste three days pressing Bardiche on it, despite the fact that the UK/HW melodrama was going on, or Shadoweh's thing, or all those other things.
That, by the way, was the first question that he completely failed to answer, even after I gave him everything he needed to figure out what I was referring to.
Second, his whole love affair with Hourai. That's just a huge mess that no one even wants to delve into: he starts laying into Hourai and Kiro because they voted for me, and blatantly tries to intimidate them into changing votes. When Hourai calls him out on him essentially protecting me, because, really, that's what it blatantly appeared to be, Dan immediately goes into defensive mode and claims that he isn't and begins making attacks on Hourai. What follows is some of the most idiotic arguments I have ever seen, and I really don't want to get into because they make no sense and it makes my head hurts. He then tries to claim that Hourai made up the claims that he was defending me (blatantly untrue, as I posted links to the posts where Dan did otherwise) and that his attack on Bardiche was justified because of me making the first "serious" question (which, as I explained above, is also blatantly untrue).
That, by the way, was the second question that he completely failed to answer, even after I gave him everything he needed to figure out what I was referring to.
Third, he makes no sense. His arguments are circular, he'd rather talk more about irrelevant meta than actual fact, I can barely tell where he's going half of the time, it takes diagrams to figure out what he's even said, he misrepresents everything other people say to him, and when he's not "arguing" he's throwing out personal insults (clearly seen when I voted for him and posed my question: he spent more, no, the entire time insulting me rather than answering).
That, by the way, was the thi- wait no I didn't ask that question. Disregard.
Finally, and this is the more personal point, I'm just tired of seeing his name, because it just makes me groan. I'm tired of having to read his posts three, four times in a row, just to figure out what he even said. I'm tired of staying up till one, two o'clock at night, trying to figure out how to type responses to his posts before just giving up and going to sleep. I'd rather not end up being like I was with Kips, where I was awake at five o'clock in the morning, heart racing and stomach clenching because dealing with the guy was making me physically sick.
So, in conclusion, ActionDan is scum, whose sole function is to make town completely and utterly befuddled and disorganized, and he's getting away with it.
Post on other people incoming.
