This isn't even true either since the only reason he came back to the thread at all was to talk about his stance on D1, and disappeared again when it wasn't being discussed.

Uh, what? Then it is true. He jumped at an opportunity to discuss random crap that didn't involve case work and then vanished when the conversation lulled on that. Jake offered him an opportunity to continue this discussion by pushing it and then re-pushing it.

If you look at Jake's posting he has done this with a TON of off topic poo poo the entirety of D1. It's a scum tactic.

I'm actually curious what your definition of off topic is because the only conversations I've seen that weren't blatantly unrelated (like Magic chat) have all be specifically related to what one player or another considered scummy in another players posting, such as D1 is useless chat.

Off topic is anything that is not scum hunting or analyzing content. Discussing someone's opinion on game meta has no bearing to the game beyond "do I think they're doing this as a distraction tactic as scum" and that's not what we've been talking about as far as I have seen.

This is mafia 101 I can't even believe I have to explain this to the vets here.

Telling a player who refuses to try day 1, and equates it to rolling the dice that day 1 is in fact important is not off topic

Can you show me this exchange? I'd like to see you explain your perspective.

If this is what I am thinking about, again, the thing Podima jumped on was not the fact that it was strange for TMM to be self consciously announcing a change, but purely that he was doing something new. People do new poo poo all the time, you don't see folks jumping on people as "OBVIOSULY SCUM" when they do self imposed post restrictions to challenge themselves, and yet Podima jumped on TMM for EXACTLY that. That's not a town mindset, that's easy scum grab.

A town member in that situation says "why you feel you gotta tell us to give you a pass for doing somethign new, why does it matter what the thread thinks about you?" Podima didn't do this.

Here is the entire exchange Quid: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3762799&userid=41756&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post456125434

That is my case on Pod which pretty much everyone ignored because I must be crazy. But it clearly shows that Podima asks ONCE about my reasons in an unclear manner. When I respond to his question he does NOT go after me for avoiding the question and instead moves on to my effort in this game. It isn't until 3 hours, a dozen posts later and AFTER I mention that he doesn't seem interested in my reasons for voting JakeP in the first place that Podima finally asks me to completely explain my vote. And like I said, at that point, I knew he wasn't really interested in any answer, so I'm declined to answer.

Telling them is important. Discussing why you think their taking that response in this instance is important. Discussing the merits of D1 in general and your personal theory opinion on it at detail and asking others to do so has no merit on the game.

Notice, AGAIN, that Jake is dragging all of us into a discussion about this that has NOTHINF to do with current game intent. I continue to bring up this point because I believe he is doing things like this purposefully to distract people from scum hunting and creating content based in play.

Notice how that is different from the tact that he is taking.

I can understand people not getting what I am saying with this goodness/Jake interaction. I am not saying that I think goodness is scum at all, and since he was the one who came in and started talking about this I can understand why it's confusing for me to say that this is Jake's fault in this instance.

But I am not talking about Jake in a vacuum in this one instance, I have been consistently pointing out the times when Jake has gone off the rails about irrelevant crap in order to shift discussion from scum hunting. Goodness can be town and Jake can be scum and he can still say "Aha, this dude is saying he thinks D1 is crap, I will feed into that to engage him on a random topic and I know this will also get other people talking about non-scumhunting poo poo."

He has done this a ton this game and I have pointed it out every. single. time. Why is this hard to understand and see?

You two are hilarious. It's not that he's a high volume poster, it's that his high volume comes from a shitload of useless posts. For all his assurance that Quid is scum, he sure doesn't seem to be looking to gather support for his case. Sure, a few posts here and there, but otherwise all he's doing is posting white noise and distractions.

But anyway, let's move to someone else: SSV.

He hasn't been pretty absent and his content sucks. For all the poo poo you've given me about a contentless vote, this is SSVs first vote:

SirSamVimes posted:

goodness posted:

just lol if you are analyzing any of day 1

##vote goodness

After a few posts that are pretty much content free, he drops this terrible vote on me:

SirSamVimes posted:

Misrepresenting people's arguments, declaring that you need no real reason to vote because it's day 1... You're better at Mafia than that, TMM.

##vote tmmadman

Then this gem:

SirSamVimes posted:

People I would vote, in order of how much I'd like to vote them: Goodness / TMM / Maybe Trasson if he doesn't follow through with his promise to review stuff

Take note of how he isn't saying anyone of us are scum, just how much he'd like to vote for us.

Then to end it he jumps in today with a single snipe post:

SirSamVimes posted:

I think we can all agree that the jokephase is useless, but day 1 isn't just jokephase. You are arguing to throw out the entire day.

So he hasn't actually made any real reads, he's dropped a couple of terrible votes and he isn't engaged with the game. This is classic lurking scum SSV imo.

For myself because I haven't read those games. The one I was in Jake was a lot more passive and he was SK. This game he's much more proactive on a couple of targets, which simply tells me that he's got a better chance of not being a serial killer. This isn't really reliable data so I'm going on my read of his current posting which feels more town.

Also, this is hilarious because Asiina has said she thinks both of us are town, but has left herself just enough wiggle room to make sure she can vote either of us.

I'm still quite sure that there are at least two scum in the group of Asiina/Pod/JakeP/SSV.

Like anybody right now with a hinky vote that is the only vote on a player should either make their case or comment on the 3 vote leaders we have right now.
