Yeah, I dunno what you guys are doing fluffing up the thread with fluff and general bullshit but It's be great if we could discuss the game now.
FirmTofu would like us all to actually discuss the game, instead of all this fluff that's going on, like everyone talking about the lurker lynch policy!
Granted, this post might have been in context with Koshi's 1,2,3 posts, but that was Koshi trying to prove a point.
Firmtofu before this point however, did not discuss anything other than lurker lynch policy:

Hi guys, I propose that we lynch the lurkiest guy D1.Obviously if someone looks really scummy then we lynch him first, but if that's not the case then we lynch the guy with the least posts. I think scum really likes to post as few as possible.
I know that's gonna look kinda scummy, but I'm going to bed now. Gn!
This comes up every game. How scummy does someone have to be for you to want to lynch them over a lurker? You have to consider that lynching lurkers provides very little information whereas lynching scummy people might tell us a lot about how people are related to one another.

To all of you that are out there...
Do you think policy lynching a lurker day 1 is a good idea? Why or why not?

Personally, I think we should use it as a last resort. Lynch a lurker only if
1) Half the town is lurking
or
2) All the active people look genuinely helpful/useful and none of them look like good lynches.
Shitting on town, regardless of if you're being a hypocrite or not, is something scum love doing.
=========================================================================================
If you actually went through the trouble of looking at the context of FT's post at the time, he posted it right after Vayne posted the gif of the gal with the crooked teeth, and Koshi counted to 3 in the thread. He didn't complain about the lurker discussion, he complained about general bullshit posting.=========================================================================================
Then there is the useless vote with an easy out, classic scum:

@FirmTofu
I'd rather wait until more posts are made. I think only 6 or 7 of the players in the game have posted so far.
If you're going to wait, then I'm going to have to vote you until you do.
##Vote: exarezeeYou can't simply say you have scumreads and not explain them.
"I am voting for you, and I will keep my vote on you until you do X!"
This is not a vote to kill scum, this is a vote to have a vote on someone, and he backs off the moment his demands are met.

##Unvote
I'm not sure that the case on paperscraps has much substance to it, but at least it's something.
Not only does he back off the moment he's able to, he's also wishy-washy about the case itself.
=========================================================================================
That wasn't a vote to kill scum, that was a vote to get XRZ to post his scumreads. And he backed off the moment he did it. Did you really think that made FT scum? You are saying he just did it for the sake of voting. I see a guy using his vote to get information for town, don't you think?=========================================================================================
But the most troubling things I found were his last two posts:

If I had to lynch someone right now, it would be CJS. All of his posts are filled with fluff and he has a random vote on Oats. I'm hating having to decipher all of his wordplay in his posting.
Paperscraps would not be a bad lynch for similar reasons. I'm not as convinced as I am for CJS, but suspicion is still there.
Right now, exarezee is looking pretty town.
Notice how he explains that he's having a hard time reading CJS because of his roleplay, and Paperscraps would be a good lynch too because he's hard to read. That's all well and good, pressure them to be more easier to read, but the mindset is revealed in the part I bolded.
He first claims that if he had to lynch someone it would be CJS or Paper because they're currently hard to read, but now he's suddenly saying he's suspicious that they're scum? why?
Then he throws a random unsolicited townread into his post, because scum love giving townreads.
=========================================================================================
Do scum love giving townreads? I don't know man. It really depends. It usually means they can hardly push suspicion on the guy they townread without having to explain themselves for the townread. In fact, you can catch scum by finding unexplainable townreads.
As for your other arguments, I don't understand why someone can't assume that people who post fluff and make themselves hard to read are scum. How does that opinion make FT scum?Like, what's so scum agenda-like about what he was doing?=========================================================================================

I want to hear more from stutters and the people who haven't posted yet. For all we know, the entire mafia team could be in that group of people.
This post is the epitome of useless. Instead of focusing on the information we do have, Firm decides to point out that there's no point in scumhunting because for all we know all the people who haven't posted are scum.
FirmTofu is pretty likely scum and our best lynch right now.
=========================================================================================
Did FT exclusively post that and not do anything else? Had that been the case, then this argument might have been valid, but given that Tofu had shown enough effort before, I don't think this applies at all.
