Yes, everyone, please completely ignore the primary and secondary definitions. Only look at the tertiary. Nothing to see in 1 and 2, move along, nothing to see here! http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

The Mittani wrote:I mostly delegated discussion of hybrid issues to the CSM6 hybrid experts, Prometheus Exenthal and White Tree. I'm a nullsec sovwar guy, whether rails need a 10% buff and a 12% grid decrease is really too micro for me. I'd just mess things up.
I'm pretty happy with what Tallest has posted in his hybrid blog.
Another demonstration of the Mittani expertise and dedication to a subject. Which is pretty interesting since he has been missing for a week seemingly disinterested with CSM 7 and yet his campaign slogan is "Our" work is not yet done. |

Sure, if you're willing to believe that the third definition in the dictionary is actually the primary, and the primary should be disregarded. 1 is 3 and 3 is 1. Black is white, and white is black.  http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

As per standard Goon logic, please focus on the 2) and 3) in the definition, and ignore 1). Thank you. http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

Hello, linguist irl here. FYI in most dictionaries, the order of the definitions is determined by the date of attestation, that is, the earliest known occurrence of that particular use of the word. Not the most frequent or the "most correct", whatever that means (hint: nothing). A notable exception to this is the American Heritage Dictionary, which orders by some type of usage frequency. However, in either case, there is no meaningful distinction among lexicographers of "primary", "secondary", "tertiary" etc. definitions. No definition is any less valid than the other, regardless of the numerical order in which they occur.
You can verify this by asking any lexicographer or just reading the introductory pages in any decent published dictionary.

You'd be wrong him keeping his roles separate. He actually references his CSM candidacy and in-game activities in the same sentence, for example:
The Mittani wrote: "i sling mud, i scam supercaps, and iGÇÖm a sadist, this isnGÇÖt new or particularly interesting"
I believe that parses to "i sling mud [in the election], i scam supercaps [in game scam], and iGÇÖm a sadist [both? not sure], this isnGÇÖt new or particularly interesting"
He goes on to say:
The Mittani wrote: In CSM6 I vowed that I would put my skill at raw bastardry to use GÇô to improve the game and make the CSM actually work; I did exactly that. IGÇÖm not a saint, an angel, or a ~nice guy~. Those kind of people donGÇÖt do well in a political group where your task is to influence and persuade others, to cut deals, to think in a Machiavellian manner.
Now that SOUNDS like The Mittani, his in-game role. But it references the CSM, which is not in-game, and what a "raw bastard" he was and will be in Iceland. How exactly is this approach "different" than how he plays Eve? http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

You know, the funniest thing is princess whining about mittens will most likely have absolutely no effect on whether The Mittani gets elected, as the staggering majority of voters will either A. Vote for him despite her (Weak) arguments against it or B. Didn't read this thread anyway and voted anyway. Or C. will vote just BECAUSE of her arguments, just to know she raged when mittens got re-elected
Which of course brings up the question, if it isn't achieving anything, Why is she still here bitching about it?
Oh thats right, because most likely Princess likely has nothing better to do........ |

Whining? Really all I've done is quote the candidate (and Machiavelli). As I've acknowledged previously, I view his election as inevitable, so I'll hardly be raging when it happens. http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

Twist? Since when is fully quoting someone in context and on subject "twisting"? http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

But by your text throughout the thread you clearly view Mittens Re-election as a bad choice which it isn't, it is an interesting choice, which is better even than a good choice |
