okay, i am pretty much caught up right now. my leanings for scum atm are: TMM > Rarity > merk?

((did i post enough to be a "top poster?" am i allowed to criticize TMM for white noise posts yet????))

While I obviously don't agree with your assessment of me, I certainly thank you for putting in the time and effort to make those posts.

The only issue I have with your posts is your seemingly extreme aversion to any sort of setup spec. I mean you even quote Exakt and respond with an overblown 'Stoooooop' at the most basic of setup chat: discussing how many possible bad guys town is facing. I understand that setup spec can be a great way for scum to hide, but it is what engages some people and as long as it doesn't go overboard then there isn't any real harm in it. On the other hand, trying to shut it down completely just doesn't sit well with me at all. As far as I can remember, all of the setup spec so far has been very light and very general.

Also, you call me a mafia dad in your posts (one of which doesn't even make sense because I'm clearly teasing Kash when it's read in context), but then turn around and do the same thing by telling people to stop the setup spec. It just doesn't sit well with me.

inspired by but legally distinct from CATS (2019)
The young merchant spends much of the morning examining documents, peering over documents in an attempt to try and suss out the economic connections that link those in the town together. For such a small, wholely provincial place, the webs of duty and debt are thick and complicated, nesting patterns within themselves, forming chaotic relationships. The task was hard and the sound of argument proved too much of a distraction for his tasks. He pulled himself from his desk and emerged out into the light, there seeing GUISSEPPE PIZZAPIE and merk and their clash of words. "I think that merk may be acting overly aggressively, and I'm more than willing to take GUISSEPPE at face value. In our conversations in the past, we've come to gain a bit of an understanding, and this seems in keeping with their character."

The rest of the gathered rabble proved too much for the young man, but he attempted to understand things as well as he could. Ultimately, it was CCKeane's ghostly jester act that made him speak up again. "What the devil is this? This seems most inappropriate."

Unironically true. You've talked a lot and said little. "Hey, look at me, I spammed poo poo during joke phase!" is not an argument for you generating content, particularly when over a third of your posts were made before the game even began.

Set-up discussion requires no engagement with other players for little actual gain. It is a cancer that consumes the public's attention, a parasite that masquerades as something useful. Scum latch on to set-up discussion because it allows them to post without really posting at all. They seem like they are providing the town with useful information, but are, in reality, doing little more than malicious guesswork. I see no benefit in allowing such actions to continue and make no apologies for pushing against such discussion.

uhhhh... I mean *faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrttttttt*

as for your second issue, I have to ask: a) is it really clear that you are teasing kash; b) is pushing against setup chat in anyway mafia dad behavior? my understanding is that mafia dadding is posting for the sole purpose of mentoring new players via easily understood info; c) even if it was mafia dadding, how do my sins exonerate you of your failings
