If we believe Kash's claim (and I kinda do), then throwing him at gym 1 is not a bad plan since he is Ice type. Future gyms I dunno, he isn't town and I'd rather give the exp to players that can do something good with it.

Oh look Tobbs thinks he found a scum slip again, but is as usual wrong.

I made the (apparently incorrect if all these shady me too votes are to be believed) assumption that I don't get a stack of hated when I evolve, or some other similarly bad thing.

I'm driving home and can't post for a bit but this is a terrible bandwagon and I would take a close look at the votes if I were you.

More "Trust nobody" stuff from liar quark. We already know that everyone in the first gym was telling the truth. His whole stream of posts is like sowing discontent when I just wanna turn into a big badass pokemon and burn up the scum team.

##vote Truth Quark

Ignoring the first part for now, the second sentence is utter horseshit. "Trust Nobody" is literally the name of the game, I don't know who is town and who is scum yet, and I'm gonna scum hunt. This post is literally calling me out for scum hunting. Or to phrase it differently, calling it me out for playing town.

Then there's the supposed "contradiction"

Truth Quark posted:

Two points:
a) These are not actually contradictory. I read the OP (holy poo poo) and assumed that when I evolve (my PM even says I can do it twice!) I would get cool and good things. I don't know why this is even an argument.
b) The second part of Tobbs' argument stems from the fact that he is assuming that town players received no information on what they would gain from evolving. After all, if scum get that information, then why am I posting about it? I should've known and therefore not "contradicted" myself. Except, if you read the thread, you will notice that I was the first person to mention this information. No one had said their (town) PM gave them no information on their evolution. This is information that Tobbs' is (possibly incorrectly) assuming is only available to town players.

For what its worth, I don't think Tobbs' is scum even in light of this garbage case. This is pretty classic Tobbs' town play.

I think you're scum and you're having trouble juggling fake claims maybe? It's the simplest explanation for why you can't seem to get your story straight.

Actually the simple explanation is that I don't have a story but you've decided I'm scum so you're going to do the classic Tobbs tunnel now.

Hi me again. If that was your actual thought process, then why did you say


If you're telling the truth about what you were thinking at the time, then this is true for literally every single player in the game.

And then the first part of your sentence is you saying that you're neither at an advantage nor disadvantage at this particular gym, so either you have extra knowledge on your evolution, or this post is absolute white noise which serves no purpose.

I see the point you are making, but you aren't technically correct, as there are players that simply do not evolve. I will concede that is true for all players that can evolve, and I that I probably chose my phrasing poorly.

The bottom line is that Tobbs' has made an incredibly pedantic argument against me, going so far as to call it a "scum slip" (maybe it would help if someone would explain why this is a scum slip), and a bunch of people jumped on his "easy" case.

Dude it looks like you've slipped to me. If you're town why not just tell us what Pokemon you are, explain how you messed up etc.

You can evolve once? Twice? You already have a power and know what you'll get when you evolve? You don't have a power and don't know what you get?

It's not clear from what you've said.

I'm not going to full claim.

It's a scumslip in that you seem to contradict yourself/change your story, which is what we're all seeing. Your answers aren't making me feel better either, and the only thing that's stopping me is how many low effort vote piled you right after he made it.
