Positive, Neutral, Critical

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...

Positive?

Neutral?

Critical?

Positive: You're kind and caring, not to mention a person of good character build and amazing leader.

yikes sorry for digging into you so hard here i wrote this without access to the site

3. You don't seem to really invest a lot into people here. That is to say, in all of my interactions with you we've never gotten beyond a simple greeting and small talk. From my experience with you and the way that I've seen you interact with others, I think you're similar to pingu in that you're outwardly nice and easy to get along with when it comes to everyone, but that people don't see you as someone close.

You live a duplicitous life when it comes to alternate accounts on EM, at least as far as I can remember. I don't know what it is that you're trying to hide from others, but I get the feeling that you're hiding something all the time. It's a scummy vibe and that's why I've listed it as a criticism.

Positive: You're honestly one of the sweetest people on this site you look out for your friends always an amazing admin and you always made me smile whenever we talk you're also a lot smarter than people give you credit for

Negative: Sometimes you can be very naive and blind to actions that are right in front of you and if you can't understand the answer you outright say the other person is wrong because you can't find that answer the right one in your head

1. You draw people close to you very easily and make them feel safe around you. This sounds like I'm talking about your survivor gameplay but it's true in general as well. Even when you're outright antagonizing someone in public, it's hard to tell whether that someone is someone you're actually extremely close to that you're just messing around with or someone that you actually have a problem with. It's a good quality to have, as it makes you feel approachable.

2. I tried to watch Danganronpa once and couldn't make it very far and thought about you.

3. You can be emotionally manipulative in the wrong situations and it can leave a bad taste in others' mouths. It's one thing to do it in a game where it's purely to your in-game win condition, but to let it transcend the game is unhealthy. This is something that can be said about everyone to some extent, as the more meaning we attach to this site and the people on it, the more likely it is that we take EM game related things personally. Perhaps this could be re-said as: "you attach too much meaning to this site," but I don't think that that's ultimately true for you.

Positive: im pretty sure you're a math / coding / everything genius and also you're a god in survivor games. not to mention you're really nice and know when to admit you're wrong

Neutral: we allied once in a survivor game but I'm not allowed to give any opinion since this is neutral

2. My first impression of you from your username was "dumb" because it was in ranked/competitive mafia and I thought that it was N1 bait. Lo and behold you were actually killed on night one in a good portion of our games.

3. You seek too much attention from the "popular" people around the site. From the way you behave around them in survivor games to the pages and pages of posts that you make in forum mafia games, the word that comes most to mind is "obsequious." It's a bit harsh, but I feel like you just want to be on their good sides regardless of how they treat you. Be your own person and make yourself the center of your existence on the site!

Positive: You're too polite to everyone.. even if that person is after your life, saying random things about you.. you're thoughtful, you analyze things properly before taking actiom

Critical: You can get a bit stubborn at times once you're on to a conclusion

oops, did all 3 for you too

1. You're intelligent and analytical. You see things from a neutral perspective and look at them level-headedly. You're one of the people on here that I think truly does not care for any of the social drama that goes on around the site and always stay out of it.

2. You have the best custom emote in the squad lobby by a long shot. Every time I think "prayag", the little bouncing guy jumps into my mind and makes me smile.

3. This might be entirely wrong but I feel that you might be a little oblivious to the affection that your friends have for you. It's okay to come out of analytical-mode for a bit and just enjoy their company and let them know how much I know they mean to you.

muse says

Positive: You are extremely easy to talk to and you are very friendly. You seem to be very gentle and easy going and those are all really good traits for a person to have

ended up doing all 3 for you oops

1. You're very candid and honest, and are not afraid to speak up for an ideal that you feel strongly about. You work towards your sense of justice and value it highly, which is a quality I admire.

You talk to unfamiliar people easily and quickly find common ground with them, building rapport with your attitude and knowledge. You find insightful things to say about other peoples' interests and are good at connecting them with your own in order to fuel conversations.

2. You enjoy a lot of non-mainstream music.

3. Despite how upfront you are when it comes to your personal opinions, I think you're less clear in the department of expressing what you want. Maybe you're afraid of imposing on others, or maybe you really don't know what you want. In the latter case, some introspection could be good for you, or in the former case, realizing that open lines of communication are almost always more beneficial than a few spared feelings can be helpful.

1. You have an incredible appetite for learning. You've bothered me over and over again for my solutions to math problems that you haven't seen before, for problem solving techniques, and even for general life advice. You're like a bright ball of curiosity that constantly jumps back and forth between different subjects and absorbs everything that it can.

You are perceptive; moreover, you are able to express those things which you perceive in a clear manner. If I were rating you as a job interviewer, I'd say that your verbal communication skills are very strong.

You put a lot of effort into basically everything and it shows. Some people would call this being a tryhard; I admire it and think it's a great quality. Most things in life aren't worth doing, and if they are, they're worth doing well. Rock on.

2. You don't have a trophy on epicmafia.com haha get rekt loser.

3. You have a hard time seeing your own faults. Harder than average, I'd say. Instead of acquiescing to critical feedback and using it to fuel self-improvement, you find something wrong with the feedback and defend what is being criticized. In another light, this can be a positive (sticking to your guns), but from what I've seen you've refused to acknowledge valid critical feedback, preferring instead to obstinately defend an incorrect view.

pamda says

my observations are based on what I've seen and not what I've heard from other people. My positive observation is the same I posted on that other thread.

Positive! You are a really nice and sweet guy. You are smart and I really admire your analytical skills and good values (maybe some mistakes were made, but nobody is perfect).

Neutral: good at mafia.

Critical: i feel like you didnt have self control when u lost ur games before lololol i dont know if thats thr case anymore.

1. I feel safe confiding in you. This might be skewed because of my mentality back in March, but when we talked back then I felt like you were incredibly trustworthy and that you were able to empathize with me. You're someone that respects honesty and integrity and I appreciate that about you.

2. You have a weird interest in eggs.

3. You, like me, have an addictive personality when it comes to social sites like EM. It's not healthy and I'm not sure if it's something even valid to criticize, but it's a critique that I think is worth pointing out. Perhaps we need to find things in our lives that are more fulfilling and spend time on them instead of frequenting the internet so much.

Thx Cody :). LOOOOOL weird interest in eggs... do you actually think im for real when I say that? I'm dying ahahahasdhbfds

1. You're far more introspective than I thought you were. You're able to look within and see what's going on and coherently express that to others, which is a valuable ability to have. You are able to identify what you want in life and what you need to do to get it.

2. You're very excitable.

3. You're too lazy to actually do the things that you need to do, with regards to the end of the first point. You lack self-control; I've noticed this when it comes to the ceountless nights this summer where you've pulled all nighters for no reason despite me pointing out the drawbacks of doing so, to the things that you say to me and others without giving a second thought to how they might affect us and then regretting it immediately afterwards, and to your attitude when it comes to discipline.

annabelle:

1. You have a lot of experience when it comes to consciously pursuing happiness. For you, happiness is something that you have to work hard to obtain, and it shows in how you express it. You don't take things for granted; rather, you appreciate what you have and what others give to you. You share your happiness with others rather than keep it to yourself through your words and actions.

You're incredibly real when it comes to interacting with people. No matter how close you are to someone, you're always going to give your honest opinion when asked for it and you won't hesitate to be critical to a point when it comes to helping those you care about. Fake is an adjective that describes many people, especially online, but does not pertain to you.

2. You have a good eye for visually appealing things and design nice profiles. Special shoutout to the disneyland family page!

3. You have a very hard time when attention is on you; I've noticed this in a few different scenarios (important vote/position in survivor games, mod chat, social situations). Your fear of (1) making enemies, (2) not being acknowledged, (3) being judged [correctly or incorrectly] plays a big part in this. We've talked about this though and I think you're doing a lot of things right when it comes to getting better about it!

Your initial impressions of things are sometimes colored by the lenses that your friends hold up to your eyes. Instead of interacting with other people or trying something out for yourself to form an opinion on it, you might talk about it just based on what you've heard from others. I think it's better to experience things for yourself and tinker with everything a bit before passing judgment.

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.

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.

deletedover 8 years

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.
