Before going on to Jam, I've got a quick message for Tom. There is a huge difference between actively lurking and simply not posting. One of them you eventually notice because they aren't around while the other looks like they're around until you read everything and realize they've actually said nothing the entire time. This is the difference, Learn it, Love it, Live it.
Ok... so Jam's huge immunity post is kinda killed by the fact that she notes in a post before her vote that Chaos is doomed unless another train starts. Even when she votes it's more because he's put his foot in his mouth yet again. And... that's it. Aside from answering one question, there's nothing new there, and her content is mostly constrained to UD/UK/Chaos.
Day 2, one post of mostly derivative opinion before... spending her time feeling that UK is town and then trying to coach her? And... what? Day 4 already?
Alright, I'll be honest. Alice, I'm not sure I see what you mean where you state that Jam's produced something worth considering in her first post on Day 4. It mostly seems to be a defense, and asking people why they're on her.
Her defense when it does come up is trying to play the newbie card, but given that even newbies can get the scum roll, this is a null tell. Whereas the harping that clearly if we've missed the scum so far then they must be super experienced as opposed to not giving us anything to really latch on to.
Which brings me to the thing I do actually find the worst about her. It's how much of her posting until now which is essentially meaningless and without any actual content. Which brings us back to both what I said to Tom earlier, and Kerigis.
The difference between not posting and active lurking can be derived by looking at the difference between Kerigis and Jam. Kerigis is not posting often, true. But when he does post, you typically get a post of reasonable length with a certain amount of individual thought. But Jam, while she has also had issues posting, she seems to have managed a higher post count, and when she posts I never have this "Wait, she's in the game" type reactions, because I see Jam's avatar pop up often enough. But, while Ker gives us something when he shows up, the only thing I get from Jam is that she's anti-Tom, and pro-UK. And the anti-Tom stuff is only to do with vote order to boot (hint, despite there being no evidence for it yet, even townies can start mislynches). Everything else we've been given is recycled or given to us as a feeling. And this is before you look at Day 1, where one post is spread out over the space of three, or Day 2 where four posts are devoted to trying to tell UK that what she's doing is making her look bad. Honestly, I can easily see this as a newbScum trying not to tie herself to anyone.
While UK does seem worrying, she at least talks, and has enough content that I have a decent idea where she stands. And Tom... I'll admit that Tom worries me. But annoyingly, one of my main points against him is Tom being Tom. He's like a bloody bulldog what will follow its scent regardless of how it looks whether he's Town, Scum, 3rd Party or Missile the Wonder Pup.
So... yeah, I think this is the way to go.
