Thinking about it, posting once in 4 days kinda implies that he had no scumbuddies to prod him to at least keep up appeareances.
I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. If quid is scum, then his scumbros are almost certainly prodding him, or at least asking chic to reach out to him/request a replacement.

Yeah, that's why I think he might be disinterested town. I find it hard to believe that a scum player couldn't find the time to drop a couple empty posts, especially if there's a scumchat reminding him.

I mean, he hasn't posted, but neither has bagshotrow. We have 2 players who have done nothing.

The Quid vote stemmed from a Clord joke about finding a slip of paper.

Don't act like this is some mind-numbingly dumb move to not vote Quid when overall participation has been lackluster.

I would also be fine with 50 he will probably never really do much all game.

And Dancer, I would vote them, I know I have not liked some recent posting of theirs but since I'm stupidly in 3 games and also very busy and I can't recall if it was this game or not but whatever

Here's why I don't want to vote Quid, and why I think it's scummy as gently caress that he'll likely be the day's lazy push:

A. It will tell us nothing. Quid has made like 2 posts. We'll be no closer to solving the game or identifying scum.
B. It having told us nothing allows scum, REGARDLESS of Quid's alignment, to act freely. We will have no one to link Quid to so it will be D1.5 with a fresh corpse.
C. The odds of Quid being scum are slim. With no evidence to support it he is at the default percentage chance for being scum/non-town being probably 27-36% with 6-8 non-town in a 22 Player.
(C addendum: Setup-Spec: If everything is tiered by multiple factions, then it only further proves he shouldn't be lynched.)
D. Lynch someone with bad content, Christ.

Are people voting for Quid solely because of lurking? Scum typically don't lurk because they have scum bros prodding them to vote. I don't like this vote and will not vote for Quid for now.

No thats true. My experience with scum hasn't always been the greatest so I guess I'm not really sure what scum team should be doing. I would assume though that they wouldn't want to lose a player so arbitrarily so they would prod them to post.

voting gulag for voting Lupus for that weird fishing post is a kind of reflexive thing I find suspect, laughing it off is too

LOL the “fishing post” had nothing to do with my gulag vote. We already went over this back on page 4, when you asked me to explain my reasoning for voting gulag. Which I did. An admittedly weak meta read.

I kinda like bminus's case on genex. Nep-Nep also feels weirdly argumentative, but in my (limited) experience it could both be overeager town or scum trying to build cred, and I still can't get a read of their earlier interaction with Dancer.
