You don't seem to realize that. You're only looking at the responses to my posts here. Some aren't that keen on making their feelings known here in the forum so much, but still say things to me in more private settings. 20 minutes ago, Sir Scarfalot said: That does raise the question, if not in fact actually beg the question of who the actual heck your intended audience even is. Believe it or not, I don't actually reveal everything I know. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I actually do with hold things, but of course you wouldn't know what those things are. 4 hours ago, Sir Scarfalot said: Including, apparently, people's private communications to you. Friend, that? That's just rude. Don't do that to people. Here's the issue- the thoughts of some -really- make a difference. Alliance leaders, say. Sometimes, I think that what they say is so important, that I think it's best to reveal it than to simply hold on to it. There is, of course, a price that frequently has to be paid for that.

"Frequently" is probably not the most accurate word here. I doubt you are ever going to get more opportunities, unless someone out there is really, really, profoundly stupid enough to tell you anything of even mild importance ever again.

I've actually been given more opportunities. I think the main issue here is I'm fairly new to all of this. Clearly, I made some mistakes at first, but I'm getting a better feel for the politics here.

They have not told you anything new that they don't expect you to spill on the forums. Almost certainly they've just fed you their public narrative at this point. You are the antonym of OPSEC.

Put simply, I do actually maintain some things in private. The trick is to have a fairly good feel for what I will keep private and to know what I will reveal. Once people get a feel for this, it's easier to speak to me. Clearly, some people still believe it's worth taking the risk. Another thing- if I believe in someone, it's pretty hard to shake my faith in them, barring me finding strong evidence that suggests they weren't being honest with me. I like to think that I am good at figuring out the truth given sufficient information and time, but this is something that everyone can judge for themselves as time goes by.

To them I say, sure, put me on ignore or what have you. If you keep on reading, though, then clearly there is -something- about them that is keeping you here. So, as mentioned yesterday in a post, I think I may have reached some final conclusions as to the genesis and continuation of Global War 16. I believe that at best, it started due to a misunderstanding on Boyce's part, with his notion that HM/TCW/Swamp was going to attack soon, possibly in early December. Quack decided Boyce words could be trusted and that it would be for them to strike first. From everything I've read, it would seem Boyce misunderstood plans for a defensive Coalition and instead took them for plans for an offensive Coalition. Boyce and Partisan may have since begun to have doubts as to the veracity of this, but they may feel that it's best to continue onward with this CB then admit they may have been mistaken. Some time after Partisan made a CB thread that included Boyce's statement of the afore mentioned forces allegedly conspiring to attack Quack, Ronnie stated that Swamp had approached HM, suggesting that they attack Quack. I believe his memory of events might have been influenced by Partisan's CB. When Ronnie explained to me that he hadn't actually spoken to anyone in Swamp and showed me the log of his conversation with a fellow HM leader, which was much more ambiguous than Ronnie's statement, I came to the conclusion that Ronnie's fellow HM leader was simply referring to the defensive Coalition that Swamp et al have made no bones about creating. Initially, I thought it should be a simple matter for Ronnie to get clarification from his fellow HM leader as to what he meant and I asked him if he'd do so. Ronnie never responded to this line of questioning, however. For a while, this frustrated me- why wouldn't he want to clear this up? I finally came up with a theory that may fit- he may have realized that he'd made a mistake and that his fellow HM leader had indeed only been referring to the defensive Coalition that in fact occurred. However, for him to admit that might make his judgement not look so good and so he decided it would be better to just remain silent on the issue. That's pretty much it. Wow ok miscommunication goes a long way World leaders take notes on this you may need it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
