I suspect what you’re seeing there are statements made based on the exact evidence in their hands. Rather than making a claim that ‘everyone’ needs more time (which then gets utterly dismissed the moment one idiot or one edge case comes up to demonstrate that no, that particular idiot doesn’t need more time), they’re making statements based on the evidence they have directly available to them.
‘The people I’ve spoken to’, for example. Now, did Brisc and/or Aryth say ‘our guys’ or ‘the people I talked to’? We have only the minutes to make that determination. How accurately can we gauge the minute-taker’s attention-to-detail? Well, let’s just look at the bit I’m re-reading right now…
So the Damavik’s gotten 2 passes and isn’t yet in a good place, but the trig ships are ‘monsters in all categories’. Because I don’t know that I’d call a ship that needs a third balance pass a ‘monster’. Maybe Rise said/meant the other Trig ships are monsters? Cuz they are.
And Megathrons and Apocs are the only… battlefields… in use? Wat? Sort didn’t say battlefield. Even with his atrocious Aussie accent, he didn’t say ‘battlefield’. He’s flagrantly wrong, mind you, as I’ve seen Cruise, Torpedo, and RHML Typhoons all in use in the last couple of months, as well as Tempests and Hyperions… Dominixes… Geddons… but even if he’s wrong, he’s not wrong enough to say ‘battlefield’.
And then there’s this bit:
I mean, this is just ridiculous on its face. This should clearly read as follows:
‘Brisc Rubal points out that the Monitor is a terrible ship that’s used by people who are bad and they should feel bad. Moreover, CCP should feel bad for introducing it in the first place. Killah Bee also says that the Muninn is a better FC ship than the Monitor and it still can’t boost.’
(Note: This last bit is me poking at Brisc because holy carp, the Monitor’s a terrible ship, it should not have been introduced, and attempting to give it more reasons for fools to push it as the bestest and only FC ship ever is just insane. Seriously, it’s a command ship that can’t boost (BUT TRAIN WING COMMAND V ANYWAY!), has half its EHP in the wrong tank for literally every fleet, and one which we consistently show just amounts to a big, flaming ‘SCRAM ME AND WEB ME DOWN AND MURDER MY FLEET WHILE I WATCH IN IMPOTENT RAGE’ sign.)
That said, I don’t blame the guy who was taking the notes. From what we could see from the pictures of the Summit, he was clearly wrapped up in blankets, so probably not feeling well at all. I don’t know how good the recording equipment in the conferance rooms there is, but trying to make sense of a jumble of voices is a lot harder in a recording.
