I dunno if I qualify for veteran status, but it's pretty clear that I ain't gonna be here next season. No big whoop - there was one season (I think it
was 7) that I bagged this place because of spoilers. It got so bad here that someone would make a very long, cogent analysis that ended with something like,
"This does appear to confirm the "XX" spoiler..."
I laughed and said ta-ta. And it appears that I will do so again. I want to make this clear - anyone who reads spoilers and posts ratings here is suspect. Anyone who reads spoilers and posts winner selections is a piece of work. And it's pretty clear that there are a few here (cindidindi, I believe) who are taking names and dates and will reveal these miscreants about five minutes after the finale ends. Good. I truly believe that edgic and spoilers simply don't work together. For anyone who claims they can remain unbiased about winners after reading and posting in spoiler threads is full of sh!t. I have more respect for those who discuss, don't make winner selections, and tell all they are spoiled, but even those folks are plowing through hard soil. As of now, it's pretty clear that many who post here are basically fully cognizant of spoilers for S19 and S20. Based on this there is no point in me even peaking in edgic s20. (I might add this is one reason I didn't change my MickPick. I got the sense that there was a sudden increase in interest in certain players about the same time that there were general announcements that spoilers existed, and there was also a sudden increase in posts from those whose names were unfamiliar. It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the edgic wind is sucking. And it began to suck about then. I hope these so-called edgic'rs are called out for the crap they were shoveling.) I respect Blake's thought about just doing ratings. That's feasible, and I hope he and others do their best to keep them unbiased. But I doubt it. |

Well I don't read spoilers and won't read S20 spoilers, so I'll definitely be unbiased. If it gets really bad, I may just have to keep my own chart
and not visit the site until the Finale of S20, or enter, post my ratings, and leave once a week.

Awww, did I strike a nerve ??Nah, mate. It's not about me. I just can't bear people being all doom and gloom about Edgic. Bitter and twisted with regard to individuals is one thing; trying to tear the whole edifice down just because things don't pan out the way you want them to is another thing entirely. |

getting real wrote: In case you haven't noticed, the quality of the Edgic thread has been steadily declining over the last few years. Lots of vets have left or are about to leave. Phoenix posts the numbers and maintains the voting site. And that's it. Warrior posts the vis chart and occasional ratings. And that's it. flf pops in once in a while. And that's it. OTH pops in once in a while. And that's it. CL doesn't even pop in once in a while. Call it burnout, call it frustration, call it whatever. This season, the Edgic thread has been SHIT ! Neverending fights. Biased ratings. Early abandonment of Edgic guidelines. Spoilers running rampant. Ghosties running rampant. Trolls running rampant. It got so bad that I began posting in panurge's thread. Panurge's Thread ! Edgic should be retired. Be put to sleep. Be honourably discharged. Whatever. A new thread can be started next season. To discuss editing. To discuss story arcs. To discuss characters. To discuss themes. Heck, we can even use Edgic terms like CP and OTT and UTR. Forget the voting site. Forget the MORD. Forget the vis charts. Forget the tone ratings. Forget the close calls. Forget the winners tally. Just have a nice simple thread for discussion. And that's it. |

Say, Oo, how is that Panurge thread? Just wondering for a response from someone who's snark level is so high that a positive review means something,

Seems to me the Mick supporters are pretty quiet here, almost having to apologize about Mick being their winner pick or add a disclaimer that they aren't
sure Mick is winning (like I have). Even Blake has said that lately and he still gets reamed for wanting to defend his pick. Blake has been put on the
defensive many times, it makes anyone supporting Mick not want to even post here!
That's not what this board should be about. Natalie supporters are much more aggressive in Edgic as of late. Many have her already winning and are demanding Edgic guidelines be changed because of that. If they can be so sure Natalie wins, why can't anyone defend Mick being their winner pick if they want to? A few picking Russell are equally adament their pick wins and seem to be laughing about Mick even being considered. I am not pointing a finger at the majority here, just some of the posters who know who they are and shall remain nameless. :) If there are spoilers out there and that's why some of this is going on, I will be ticked. I am here to do Edgic, I do not want to be spoiled or have pop in posters making suspicious fly by remarks ridiculing other posters because of what they think they know. Seems a certain band wagon has been getting heavily loaded lately, that's all I will say. Since Blake came back he has been behaving pretty well and has a right to defend his pick and not apologize for it. That is what others were complaining about with him a few weeks ago, now it's some on the other side doing it to him. I feel like I should be sorry I am picking Mick when I read posts here, like I am making a huge mistake and I'm not sure why that is. Mick hasn't been invisible, he hasn't been OTTN, he hasn't killed a baby, he hasn't been too OTTP....so he should still be considered a winner pick by some who think he can win according to Edgic and how they perceive it. I can't think of a better thing for him than to be shown as the only possible anti Russell Foa Foa player, struggling with his doubts of sticking with an alliance that includes "the snake" Russell, and his loyalty that has been there with Foa Foa since the beginning. If the jury dislikes Russell, would they not give Mick some credit for that? Maybe they would, none of you can say they would not since you can't possibly know for sure. I also think that has been part of his story, his struggle all through the game, trying to take it one day at a time and hanging in there without complaining. He is not as closely associated with negative,evil Russell as Jaison and Natalie are....if it were Natalie saying what Mick has been saying (about Russell) she would be getting applause for it. I have given credit to those defending their picks other than Mick and meant it. I think we all deserve that respect here, no one should be ridiculed for picking Mick because they feel Natalie has more story and vice versa. Natalie's story is solely connected to Russell, is that really going to make her the winner? It could, but there are still those three bad episodes in the beginning that make her Edgic chances not so good IMO. GR has made good points for Natalie but is also decent about it and not acting like he's one hundred percent sure it's her. Some people here could learn from GR and others who make good points about their winner pick while respecting other's choices for winner. Oo's brief posts are starting to look good to me...I never thought I'd say that! Okay, I am back to being UTR Abby. PS: I can't wait for Cindi to name names Sunday night, if anyone should get bashed here it's Edgic posters who read spoilers and deny it. No one deserves bashing just because they picked Mick to win, he has had a better EDGIC edit than Natalie and Russ, just saying.... |
