You have one page of post history that mostly consists of slapfighting with QPQ, who you then dropped your case on to vote met, who you then dropped your case on to vote me -- "I don't need a reason" -- you've been inactive and have dropped any attempt at actually playing the game outside trying to get me lynched and I have yet to see you (or anyone else) make a case on me

how's that

You have one vote on you. You could put a third on QPQ and lessen your risk, instead you're trying to claim some sort of "self preservation" by throwing a protest vote against me.

It's eerily mirroring the previous couple of days where you got oddly defensive when QPQ dropped a vote on you.

It's really not, so I'm glad you're able to understand how you've offered nothing to the game beyond bribes and being defensive.

The Ninth Layer posted:

I'm reading some of QPQ's link posts more closely than I originally did and one thing I'm noticing is that all these helpful links point to filtered post histories. Even if it's a one-off link it almost always leads to a filtered post history. (One of his links actually led me to a "New Post" window.) I know it's somewhat his style to link like crazy, but to me this looks a lot like paint-by-numbers scumhunting. In other words instead of discussing conversations in context he's scanning down peoples' post histories for his cases and picking stuff out.

This has pretty radically changed my impression of his posts, some of which I liked the first time around but didn't really follow through on the links. QPQ's cases aren't really persuasive because they tend to be a review of someone's post history, like Gridlocked did for all of us, rather than a particularly convincing argument for why doing X looks scummy. They look great though because obviously if you went through and sourced all your points it means you put a lot of effort in and everyone knows effort=town right?

This is QPQ's second post of the game and it has a link in it already:


Did this observation need a source? We're on Page 3. QPQ didn't even make a joke in joke phase (scummy).


I've already talked about this post, but again, did any of these points need sources? There's not even a vote here. Was QPQ worried that we wouldn't know what he was talking about if he said "I think LUTR looks better because Ecco was suspicious of her" without him linking to the event?


This is literally just a summary of LUTR's post history with an "I don't like that" or "this is weird" to transition from one post to another. QPQ even links LUTR's jokevotes as if it's at all relevant to any sort of vote or case. Why?

How many people really read this case the first time around? Did you see all those sourced points and go "well at least QPQ put a lot of effort into this case" and glaze your eyes over? Did this post engage your brain into thinking about LUTR in a new light? Did anyone even follow any of these links?

##vote QPQ

I am not sure I understand your case, because all this really says is that I use a lot of footnotes, which has been my playstyle since time immemorial. As for the actual cases you quote, I disagree with your assessment that they are nothing more than post summaries. When "I don't like that" or think "this is weird," I find it usually pretty important to indicate what it is that I find to be suspicious or weird so that others can provide their thoughts.

To say that my posts are "literally just a summary of... post history with an "I don't like that" or "this is weird" to transition" is like saying a recipe is literally just a list of ingredients with vague directions to transition. You can not really have one without the other. Given the overall tenor of this game and the level of activity, I won't fault using copious footnotes and trying to engage with other people.

What's your reasoning now though? Your original thing is no longer valid so give me something new.

Do cases have an expiration date? If someone puts pressure on you for making a weird vote and you subsequently unvote, are we banned from calling attention to that earlier weird behavior because "the original thing is no longer valid."

To be quite candid, I would probably stab dscruffy. Have not really liked dscruffy for the entire game and his contributions are dangerously thin. I am on a mobile and cannot easily bring up his posts, but it feels like he is just punching his card every few days by mentioning people then disappearing.

Maybe also Shanakin but that is almost entirely because he is a lurker and he has missed several opportunities to increase participation.
