I hate joke vote phase so I shall begin this with a game.

Randomly selected player: Atrocious Toaster

You have control of my vote until you use it poorly, the day ends, or I get back from my camping trip. Who should I vote for?

How is it faking content or being a buzzkill? There's a lot of things you could call Amnistair's move but these just sound made up.

This is true. I did do this thing. Of course the time before that when I did this game I was town. And the time before that I was scum....and the time before that...

Regardless of how you feel about Amni, look at pmush's post. That's someone who is reaching (very far!) to justify a vote.

Listing "faking content" and "is scum" as two different items!!

Lazy. Someone who wants to go away for a while then have an easy source of info to mine without reading. It's a poopy post but the reaction was worse.

Technically being a buzzkill could be considered accurate based on the fact that you consider it a 'poopy post'. I'm curious about this comment though weekly.

How am I going to get information without reading based off of my post?

Actually, I'd consider "buzzkill" to be accurate in that it ended jokephase but jokephase is bad anyway. It's a poop post because it's lazy and it doesn't do anything but muddle the mixture. What were you actually trying to get out of your experiment?

I should have been a bit more clear on "without reading" and realized that after I posted it. You get to come back and see the results of your little game and mine info without having to read the entirety of D1. You're giving yourself a focus to narrow in on but announcing it to the game which I don't see a need for.

The purpose of my post is exactly what it did. Forcing the end of jokevotes (or at least, bringing some of the game out of jokevotes). I also get to apply pressure in some way to a player and see how they react. In this case I'll get to see how Atrocious Toaster will react.

Ah Goku, you must understand. Though you are strong you lack the subtelty of a true warrior. The knowledge of my 'gambit' does not prevent it from happening. In fact the knowledwge that I am judging his reaction and applying pressure to get it only increases because of his knowledge.

An aside from that, the reactions of the thread have already shown that the 'gambit' has proved fruitful.

Piccolo, I'll never understand you! You subvert the stated goals of your actions by explaining them and thus remove any chance of a genuine reaction test. Whatever they do, it will now be calculated! As to your secondary goal, you're basically moving us from namek back to earth in pulling us from jokephase at the expense of dragging Freiza with us in that the content will be useless. Trunks and his sword of scum hunting are not yet ready. I thought you had repented but I see you're still a grumpy old man.

Calculated content is still content that can be analyzed later. If the player in question is scum, their content will be calculated anyway, by neccessity. If the player in question is town, then the content will not be calculated, and even knowing the purpose of the question they should still answer honestly.
