Positive, Neutral, Critical

Cody
over 8 years

Post in this thread with a positive, neutral, or critical observation of me and I'll post the opposite for you. Please state the category of your observation. If your observation is neutral, I'll reply with a neutral one as well.

I'll be writing all three for each person, so if you want more, you can give me more and receive more in return (this means that you can get up to 3 responses from me in this thread).

Example: A says "Positive. Cody is smart and observant." I will reply with something like "Critical. A is too easily influenced by other people."

I'll be gathering all of the observations that I write into a file somewhere and maybe making a wrap-up post to summarize them.

EDIT: Here is the file that I've made with all of my responses for everyone in the thread. If you're seeing this, then I'm only doing responses for those people that I feel like responding to from now on. There are a few people on the file that didn't post here for whom I wrote these observations down prior to posting the thread, so if you didn't post here and you're someone who knows me pretty well, you might be in there!

Are you...

3. I haven't talked to you enough to have something solid for this, I apologize. I spent some time thinking for a stretch, but couldn't put my finger on anything.


You just think im flawless, right? :)

1. This might be coming from a biased point of view for obvious reasons, but I feel that you respect those people that you deserve respect. The way that you behave towards others makes that respect feel more valuable. You were relatively courteous and able to understand my perspective even when it wasn't aligned to what you wanted.

2. You are bad at ban evading.

3. You have a hard time seeing the good in other people. You fixate on other people's negative characteristics and belittle them. I also think that you bring mostly negative attention to yourself on the forum. Your thread about "angerbanging" is beyond cringe tier and I would be surprised if you created it while sober.


2. I just didn't care haha.

3. Agreed, and I was totally messy, but then I don't do things because I care what others think. I enjoy the reactions and assumptions people make me about me based on certain actions.

positive: clearly intelligent
neutral: while you have personality, the way you type doesn't show it.
critical: u are/were a bit sensitive about your mafia skills


1. Smart guy that likes Smash and is really good at mafia.

2. Proponent of social justice.

3. Managed to forget that an internet connection is a basic life necessity and forced himself and his girlfriend to go for two and a half weeks without it in their new flat.

All right everyone, it was fun doing this. I've compiled all of my responses into a file linked in the OP. I'm putting promised responses on hiatus and will only respond to those that I feel like responding to.

Negative: Cocky


1. You handle being an outsider to many of the friend groups on the site well. You're often killed on night 1 or lynched because you're an easy target to lynch and you never complain about it.

I'll try not to repeat things that have already been said.

Neutral: when it comes to games of mafia, you have a very analytical play and can evaluate other players' strategies incredibly well at times, essentially just picking them apart. that's fair, but I like how you can do it and sometimes it'll be total bullsh!t.

Positive: you're dedicated to yourself and those you care about, which is admirable, and you often don't give up on something until you've reached the target or it's literally impossible. sometimes even delaying until better timing presents itself.

Negative: when you make initial contact with someone say in a game or elsewhere, I think you can potentially come across as slightly egotistical. personally I attribute this to the fact you hold yourself to high standards and carry yourself in a respectable way.


1. This might be coming from a biased point of view for obvious reasons, but I feel that you respect those people that you deserve respect. The way that you behave towards others makes that respect feel more valuable. You were relatively courteous and able to understand my perspective even when it wasn't aligned to what you wanted.

positive: you're able to pull people out of their shell/s and your communication skills are top notch. you also have a lot of natural charisma. it took a very short time for me to grow fond of you back then, despite my super short-lived narcissistic vibe i first got from you.

neutral: your rubiks skills are awesome

critical: i feel like once you're done with someone, you're done with them, even if they don't know that's the case. you're kind in your own way but there's always been a little bit of distance.


1. The pair of adjectives that I most associate with you are "kind" and "gentle." I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes me think of you this way, but I can't recall a situation in which you've been explicitly mean to anyone no matter how great of an injustice you felt had been done to you.

2. You were one of the people that I put on some list of the people that I felt closest to on EM about a month after I came back in March.

3. You have a habit of using sarcasm to argue with people, specifically, you twist the idea that you disagree with slightly and repeat it and expect the person you're disagreeing with to see why you think it's an unreasonable idea. I think it would be more effective to come up with logical arguments to make your points.

Positive - You understand when something is wrong and even if you do it (or think about doing it) you face your consequences and aren't bitter about it.

Neutral - I think you were rushed into the admin position whether you wanted it or not.

Critical - You seem to let the people around you influence a lot of your actions.


1. You aren't afraid to put yourself out there to entertain others (see: Jigglypuff impression).

2. The mental image that "rutab" brings to mind is of a cow mooing while it gets milked.

3. When the joke's over, the joke's over. A lot of your posts look like they're trying too hard to be funny when the opportunity has either (1) already passed or (2) isn't actually there. In either case, it's hit or miss, and more often miss. Your hits once in a while, in my opinion, don't make up for the cringe that your misses induce.

Greninja says

pos: u were a circlejerkle friend

neutral: i still don't know why you modded

critical: you modded nothing short of a disaster crew


1. You're actually a very reasonable person to talk to one on one, and have given me good advice.

2. You protest vocally.

3. You like to push people's buttons a bit too much.


Annaliese says

neutral: idk you haha you're kind of irrelevant


2. You probably casually throw mafia games.


Coventina says

Positive- Nice person and good admin ^.^



3. If you're Llamafishcat, then you're that person who always hosted the unranked Illuminati setup at weird hours/timings and would never fill your tables. I always felt bad seeing your tables have ~3 people in them, about to get booted off the front page. It seems that you've made more friends since then though!

Escurai says

Positive, good taste in avis

Negative, we talked in like a few red hearts and then never again and I'm blaming you for this


1. From the few mafia games that we played together ages ago, I think you are good at communicating ideas with other people who are "in-the-know" with few words, and good at picking up signals from others.

3. I haven't talked to you enough to have something solid for this, I apologize. I spent some time thinking for a stretch, but couldn't put my finger on anything.

Positive: Great em player. Decent admin, as well as a good analyst.

Negative: I did not really like that you were often involved in forum controversies. Bad troll posting in the wrong situations.



1. You have always been someone that I know will unconditionally play towards his win condition in mafia.

3. You sound incredibly awkward in mafia games and I find it hard to take you seriously. I'd be surprised if English were your native language.

annajane says

Positive: you are not judgemental and you do anything for your friends, you are a very very loyal friend which is a great trait to have. you're also very honest and trusting to your friends

Critical: you sometimes trust the wrong people which puts you in a bad situation, sometimes your loyalty to your friends is so extreme that you let them walk over you when you need to stick up for yourself and do what's right


1. You're fun to be around when you're drunk and it takes quite a lot to get you there (you have impressive tolerance). You're perceptive of the people around you; you were one of the only people that realized I'd cleared my Skype contacts a little while back. You are good at encouraging your friends and saying positive things to them to cheer them up and motivate them.

2. You often find yourself entangled in annoying drama.

3. If set A is what others can do for you and set B is what you can do for others, I feel that you focus on set A a little too much. There's nothing wrong with looking out for yourself, but I think that people's positions on your totem pole are far more centered on A than B. If you were to think about B more, I think a lot more people would genuinely appreciate you.

Positive. I really enjoyed playing with you when your username was MapReduce, I rated your playing style, and I felt we got along quite well in those Jan 2.0 games along with RedVelvet.


3. It feels like you come on EM sometimes to seek attention. This is mostly based on the pictures that I've seen you post here and there in the pictures threads that are floating around. There are better places on the internet to find attention and/or validation.
