I made no such claim implicitly or explicitly. I made an observation and shared that observation.

Afterwards, community members made assumptions about my motivations and then proceeded to act on their fantasy of my mind's thoughts.
The fact that everyone here has come to the same general conclusion about my motivations and thoughts, does not de facto make their conclusion reflective of reality.
People could have asked, "Trilo, what do YOU think it means?" But no.

The mere publication of a table of VOTM winners and their relationship with the Ville administration and Ville clans does not in fact constitute an expression of criticism of Ville policy or its members. Still, few can deny that this is an interesting table. It could mean many things. It could mean nothing. But rather than explore its significance in a reasonable manner, I get dismissed and mocked.

I love the Ville and all my friends who play here. But I wonder about things sometimes.

I think the reason most people aren't considering the table in a serious manner is because it's an "analysis" (for lack of a better term) of something so mundane.

VOTM is just a small way to recognize the people who burn a couple extra calories to make The Ville a fun place to be. There's really nothing much else to read into it.

Don't leave your posts open to interpretation, or people will make assumptions. I think that may have been your intention, though.

Have an opinon? Share it. Otherwise, don't get upset when people try to infer what the hell you're getting at.

That and the fact that there is a list of VOTM already compiled, so it stands to reason that the only other pertinent information you were providing for discussion/consideration was pointing out if they were guilded or an admin or supporter. Whether it was intentional or not, there was definite inference.

Holy crap everyone...take a chill pill. I'm not exactly sure why everyone is jumping on Trilo like they are, it's not like he is the only one who has done this. TBH I'm not sure everyone would be jumping all over me in the same way if I had posted the exact same thing, for I have (for all intents and purposes) the exact same thing that I created on my own (I just have never mentioned or posted about it because I felt folks would find it odd that I had spent the time that I have compiling it). I took it as an interesting spread of VOTM winners of who belonged to who. Yes Trilo maybe should have included more of a point to the post, but why does everyone have to insinuate that it was of poor intention? I can't believe that this is a thing, that people are actually getting hostile over something so insanely stupid (caveat that with VOTM isn't stupid, the argument in this thread is)!

Thread seems pretty un-hostile to me.

you can sea lawyer all you want, but the fact remains even said you were "stirring the pot" which means everything we inferred about you implying was on the right track.

I am truly surprised to see that not one Kilaak ever has made it to be a Villan of the Month.


No wonder they hate us so much.
