Are you at all surprised that the highest percentage of my posts is in IT?
Which two teams are your picks for the World Series?

mlb789 :

Not at all. Many people SHOULD have the highest percentage of their posts in IT. I've been here forever, and have nearly 4000 posts in IT alone (the next highest is 3300 in Your Forum).

My World Series pick as of right now is dependent on whether or not the Red Sox trade for Cole Hamels.

If the Sox do not trade for him, the World Series pick for me is Nationals over Tigers.

The the Sox DO trade for him, the pick is Nationals over Red Sox.

Cole Hamels would put them over the top in the AL, and I'd have them making it to the World Series, but being beaten by the Nationals due to superior pitching. A rotation of Scherzer/Strasburg/Zimmermann/Fister will be hard to beat in the post season.

You may ask why the Tigers... the AL is the weakest it has probably ever been, most of the talent has dispersed itself well, and there's a lot of parity in the AL right now. There's only one team in the East with a shot at the WS, and that's only if they trade for Hamels (which I actually hope they don't do, since it would cost us Swihart), two teams in the Central, and two teams in the West... And of those 5 total teams, the Tigers have the best all around team, especially if Verlander bounces back, which I think he will.

The Angels, Mariners, and White Sox all have good looking rosters, but have too many weaknesses (Angels lack high level pitching and have a meh offense outside of their middle of the order, Mariners still don't have enough offense, and the White Sox have some decent pitching, and could be a stealth pick, but I have concerns about their offense as well.)

The NL has soo many good teams right now. The Nationals will be great, the Marlins could be sneaky, as could the Mets, the Cubs, Pirates, and Cardinals will battle it out in the Central, which has become the strongest division in baseball for the time being, and the Dodgers, Padres, and Giants are all interesting as well.

I hate Clownball (the NL needs to add the DH, badly) but I'll be paying attention to NL teams this year... in particular the Cubs. I love the Nats and think they win the whole thing this year, but the Cubs look like they are close. And I think they are honestly on the way to being the best team in baseball.

Do you think Innocent Town's quality has ever gone down significantly?

PacmanandMariofan :

In the past, yes.

There was a time when we had too many mods and I was pushed out despite being the co founder. The time when IT didn't have Leggy was the low point.

Question: I see that you don't trust most people. You only trust a select few. I wanted to ask this: What do people have to do to earn your trust/respect? By that I mean what allows you to trust some people more than others?

Did Not Dungeons and Not Dragons end already? 

Do you play RPG games on your PS4? 

What are your initial thoughts on the PS4's performance? 

Would you recommend the games you have played so far? (Also PS4 question...)

ZeroTails :

I'd ask you a question in turn, why does it matter if I don't trust most people? Is there a reason I should? You aren't under any obligation to answer, nor do I expect one. It's mostly rhetorical.

As for your questions though...

You are correct, I do not trust most people. I count the people I wholy trust on less than one hand. I've had too many people try to screw me over for me to trust people en masse.

There's no formula for gaining my trust or respect. It's something that just happens. Eventually, I warm up to some people, let them into my heart, and start sharing with them the more personal details of my life. Generally, the people I trust are the people who made the most effort to understand me and how I think. It's not as simple as wanting to know me, it's more about understanding than knowing. One can know that a monkey swings from a tree. It's another thing to understand why the monkey does it.

You didn't really ask this, but I completely trust only two people outside of myself. My best friend (who has been my best friend since I was 5. I am now 22.) and my girlfriend (who has seen every side of me imaginable and knows me better than I know myself).

darthyoda :

No, I'm just very busy lately. I will be updating it sometime in the coming week. The players recognize how difficult it is to plan for a large story, and now that the game is about to open up (tutorial stage is over), it's going to take more time before I commit to a direction I want the overarching story to go. It's hard to explain, but even though it's open world and choose your own adventure, there needs to be an engaging conflict that the players want to get involved with, and I'm trying not to be cliche with it.

I would if there were many on the system I were interested in. I like the idea of Diablo III, but lack the money for it. I'm a huge fan of RPGs, however, and it is by far my favorite genre.

The PS4 runs like a dream. It's ten times faster at doing basic tasks than the PS3 was, it actually gets on the store within 10 seconds, whereas you had to wait forever to get on the PS3 version's. In reality, the only negative point of the PS4 is the lack of a library. But even that's about to change.

So far, I'd recommend Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Rogue Legacy, Transistor, and the MLB the Show series. Of those, Rogue Legacy and Transistor are FREE for PS+ members for the month of February. Anyone who gets a PS4 (or PS3) needs to get PS+. The free games they give away are ridiculously good, compared to those on the XBox, which I have gotten to see at a friend's.

legacyme3 : How do you think we can get people talking about pacman? I made a pac man vs mario thread, but it does not seem that anyone cares to defend either mario or pacman! How can we fix that?

FaithFighter :

I don't think it can be done. As I've told you before, people care about Mario. They don't share that passion for Pacman.

The worst thing you could do would be force the issue, because that'll just lead to people finding you annoying.

legacyme3 : I guess that thread will just die then...

legacyme3 : To answer your question, you don't have to trust lots of people. It's better to not trust lots of people, since they can screw you over easily. It's totally understandable that you wouldn't trust people because of past experience. History repeats itself. I asked because I was curious.

My question to you is, w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶r̶h̶e̶t̶o̶r̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶n̶?̶  Actually, my question is, what do you think of newbies? I mean, do you think they try to become actual members of Vizzed or do most of them leave? Is it worth it to post in the newbie form? 

ZeroTails :

I don't have much opinion of newbies. They almost never stick around. I used to frequently look at the Newbie Forum as a global, and greeted the most interesting of the lot to Vizzed. Of the people I greeted, very very few have stayed on Vizzed.

The fact the interesting people leave as soon as they join disappoints me. It's hard to have fun when you get the same dime a dozen person staying, and the unique golden sheep leaving.

Does it ever bother you that your ask anything isn't as active as it use to be?

pacman1755 :

To be honest, no.

I'd prefer activity, but the fact of the matter is, I'm just not as relevant anymore. I'm a legend, but I'm not an active legend. It's kind of like geeo's from when he was inactive. It'll get questions, but not nearly as many as it once did.

My AA is still the third most active on the site I think, behind geeo's and David's. And theirs are in forums anyone can access.

When will you change the Fantasy schedule so I don't get screwed into playing you four times?

mlb789 :

I plan on changing it rather soon. But don't get too excited, you'll still be playing me twice, probably. I haven't fully finished the scheduling matrix. All I know is who people face in their division right now. Everyone plays the teams in the other division at least once, and some may twice.

Which game do you think/know is the most active in Innocent Town?

With staff apps coming out sometime this month, are you planning on applying once more, or are you officially done with staffing for the site? 

PacmanandMariofan :

The most active game in IT is easily Mafia. We get upwards of 20 players in all games, and there's never big worries about inactivity. It's a game everyone plays and enjoys.

thing1 :

For the long version, click here.

For the short of it, I am done. 100%. Officially.

legacyme3 : I'm not sure if this question has been asked, but I'll ask it anyway. Do you have a job in real life? If so, what is it?
