I ask him about what he considers content
a though I forget to press him on it when he doesn't answer in his fourth post
4 during which he asks ATH a nonsense question about being friendly, then asks Roo why he's making more sense than usual. Scum-catching gold! This was post number 50 in the thread.
We have to wait until post 147 before we get his fifth post
5, which I consider to be his first "real" post, by which I mean there is already content in the game to comment on. But wait! Amongst offering some opinions on ATH's stance on scumtells, and then getting defensive over his play in another game (apparently he has never been scum, so he has no scumtells, implying he can't
possibly be scum in this game) He says we should consider ATH's cop-claim quietly to ourselves while discussing other things. Doesn't offer anything else to discuss, of course, followed by essentially asking TDS if he's gambiting then asks the other players if they have questions, without asking anything himself. This is the first time he tells is to ignore a significant aspect of the game.
Prior to all this he also says that ATH not dying during N1 could be the scum trying to get us to lynch our own cop. Then says if ATH is mafia, he'll exploit this. Tolyk voted him later based on this
b.
On to his sixth post
6 in which he answers the question I put to ATH in the previous post, then again suggests that continuing to comment on the most significant thing will only benefit scum. This is the second time he tells us it's better to look elsewhere/ignore it. Explained away in the seventh post
7 as trying to get us to get other players involved (funny... apparently I'm scum for doing that!) and then worries I'm FoS'ing him. Defensive, much?
Post the eighth
8 is just fluff. Ignores a question I asked him in the previous post about what else we should focus on. Perhaps ironic considering he's asking about scum players claiming to not reading carefully.
The ninth post
9 says he does't want to push people about not having time to post. Fair enough, just encourage posting when they have time. Asks if there has been anything else to look at other than the cop-claim, evidently wants other people to find things to talk about. If town this is lazy, it's not difficult to go back over it yourself, or ask questions of the others to generate different content.
Post ten
10 he says he did look back and found nothing, then worries about the ATH claim involving lots of town players and no scum. Then thinks out loud(?) that everyone other than ATH could have been scum in all of that. It seems that ATH is assumed to be town at this point. Asks a reasonable question on how the cop-claim will affect the rest of play, then says stuff about lists, suggesting ATH is suspicious, just not
that suspicious. Foreseeing a bandwagon he doesn't want to be on, perhaps?
Confuses me with Tomasque. Reasonable concerns about no content beyond the claim, but still doesn't ask questions to generate different content.
Elventh post
11 he responds to Tolyk voting for him, doesn't seem too bothered by it. Clarifies his stance on discussing ATH's cop-claim, though still doesn't ask any questions to generate content. Fluff post, beyond answering a question for someone else. Again.
Over his posts 4-11 he didn't really ask any questions about the game, beyond worrying about the effect of ATH's claim. He had ample opportunity to question me about things given pretty much all these posts are in reply to me questioning him (albeit gently, I thought he was n00b town at that point) so he doesn't seem interested in actually generating content himself, just trying to push other people to do it. Trying to look active and pro-town.
