Did...did you actually think I was saying that I wasn't reading this game? I thought it was apparent that I was trying to convey that I didn't think there was any way the comments you were making applied to this game. Perhaps I should have added a "/s" tag.
In any case, I didn't think Post 109 was worth responding to - I thought it was obviously absurd on its face, and I didn't see any questions in it directed to me, and you made it clear you weren't going to be changing your vote off of me (much less commenting on any other player in the game). However, if it will help other players, I'll talk about it.

Yet
So that accusation from him was a blatant lie.
I said you weren't doing anything meaningful about activity. You respond with how you'd requested the mod to prod players.
This is exactly my point.
You've requested prods from the mod, but you've not asked any questions of the truant players, tried to find out their alignment in any meaningful way, or (in those posts particularly) helped them with any framework for discussing things. As is clear, I've worked on trying to get people talking. You, on the other hand, have made it very apparent that you want people posting, but give them no reason to whatsoever, and have in fact tried to actively shut down discussions because you didn't think they were worthwhile, while simultaneously not giving any guidance for where to go next. This is
exactly
what I would expect scum to do - contribution without content.
The whole game you have epitomized posting without substance. Outside of railing on me, requesting prods, and answering obvious factual information about votes, you have done no scumhunting, no seeking information from players, and certainly no tying yourself to any of them. Your meaningful interaction with players outside of myself is nil. That is exactly how scum want to play this game.
What I posted several pages ago remains true:
In post 82, Thesp wrote:4. Jake from State Farm has been doing nothing to scumhunt outside of attacking me.
He has used our playstyle difference as an excuse to provide otherwise empty content, and has been asking players to post, but hasn't been doing anything to get them to say anything substantive. He's done things like complain about a lack of activity:
...but doesn't actually do anything to promote activity. That's the hallmark of trying to look busy while not accomplishing anything. It's crazy scummy and bad for the game.
You've also said:

Since you so it as either alignment though, it's not enough to determine your alignment and so I have to look at your play as a whole.
...and this...

Forgive me if this looks like revisionist history, given this:
In post 104, Jake from State Farm wrote:The fact that Thesp can't see that me trying to get him to stop asking those questions and to start scum hunting as being pro-town behavior to me proves he's not town himself.
In post 109, Jake from State Farm wrote:Basically he has no reason to continue this charade because it doesn't actually help him find scum. It does stop people from playing the game because answering those questions isn't playing the game.
In post 130, Jake from State Farm wrote:Since i have already proven that RQS doesn't actually help Thesp find scum better, my original question is still out on the table (now slightly revised)
Why does he stat the game with RQS when 1. it slows the game down more than RVS does and 2. its been proven to NOT be useful in Thesp finding scum.
Look, I understand you don't like me opening the game with questions. You've also said that you believe
I
find the questions helpful in finding scum. You
also
have repeatedly hammered away at me for "not scumhunting", a charge which I disagree with even outside of the opening questions.*
These two positions are mutually exclusive. They are not consistent, and you have been attacking me the entire game based on playstyle difference, rather than trying to scumhunt.
When you say things like this, it makes me think you're just not paying attention, or just willfully mischaracterizing me. I was very, very clear that my problems with your behavior were not about cursing.
I remain happy with my vote on Jake from State Farm. I look forward to contributions from our truant players, or their replacements as need be. (I think many of them have pending questions, or at the very least things that have happened in the game which need to be weighed upon. If you're around but not sure what to say, I'll be glad to give you further guidance on what I'm looking to hear about.)
* - Seriously. Go back and look through the meaningful interactions Jake from State Farm has had with players other than me. Then, go back and look through all the meaningful interactions I've had with other players. Then, consider who you think is actively scumhunting outside of each other.
1. This is incorrect because I have interacted with some people. 2. That actually isn't how scum want to play this game, there are much better techniques to utilize than avoiding interaction with people.
