When I left in a huff in 1997, I did so largely because I perceived that
people bore a grudge against me. I had the impression that, whereas my
proposals were almost never voted for, equivalent proposals from other
players attracted votes. My paranoia has reduced, and when I started
playing again this year I thought that my perception had probably been
mistaken. But here's a much clearer case. Back in 1997 there weren't
actually identical pairs of proposals.
Whence the anti-Zefram movement?
It might be a tall-poppies thing. Let's look at the VLOP and VC
leaders, grouping partnerships with the players who most often
control them in practice:
27 33 Zefram + Pineapple
15 23 Murphy + Human Point Two
12 9 BobTHJ + Primo
11 14 root
9 6 Wooble
8 2 comex
followed by roughly half a dozen players at around 5 and 0 - and
most of that is not because of the BVLOP increase, but rather
because I've been spreading VLOP around in recent months.
