Ok back momentarily before out for the night.
I wanted to say, I don't want to focus entirely on the post restriction since it's not really contributing much to the discussion.
I'm going to change my avatar since I keep confusing myself with NNR.

The exchange between DNA and BBM on page 1 raised an eyebrow. Yes it is RNG. For me, I put down a random vote until I have something to improve it to. I do think DNA's shift was odd. On page 2 he had another run in with BBM after his 'BBM is tryhard = town' comment re: unvoting.
DNA
like i dunno, mb we can start guessing at what Junko is saying? that seems like a massive waste of time to me tho so i would just wait for him to simplify his codes
I think...trying to decrypt what Pokemon is saying would be a massive waste of town's time since they will probably be able to post normally at some point to explain and if they wanted to be clearly understood they would surely post more intelligently than they are now. At the moment they just have a random vote, I'm sure once they have a serious vote down they will try to explain it better in some way.
EG
this post I don't know that face; is it one of the dudes from the Godfather series? What's it supposed to mean? I don't understand but I want to believe if it was something important, Pokemon would make it clear. Until then let's move on.
Zak said:
Basically, the use of "Why X not Y?" is a fallacy based argument which is a soft scumtell.
People make bad arguments because they aren't good at logic. Scum make bad arguments because they have to make up stuff.
I can't really agree that a logical fallacy is a scumtell. It just invalidates the reason for their vote; if somebody pushes their vote even after their reasoning has been pointed out to be flawed, theeeen you probably have a scumtell.
I also disagree with this:
I don't like that he used it in what was basically a unneeded defense for me, in what might have been an attempt at buddying me.
I don't think that's what happened at all. BBM was asking NNR to explain why he was voting for you instead of another player who had also voted for Pokemon (himself). I don't think he was defending you, he was interrogating NNR. In the same way that I don't think I'm defending BBM now; I'm questioning your interpretation of the events because see point a) if somebody pushes their vote even after their reasoning...etc etc.
Anyway I'm more concerned with how DNA keeps coming back to Junko who can't really defend themselves at all right now.

i feel better unvoting because a vote signifies you want that person ded.
I'm gonna paraphase Kilga here; an empty unvote could be a scumtell because town are always trying to improve their vote.
I can see the arguments for Zak and BBM, and I feel that DNA's focus on Pokemon and...I want to say flawed but I feel like it's more misguided...arguments are damaging.
So I'm gonna go with this for now.
##unvote
##vote DarkNinjaABCTo be clear, my case is 'wasting time, misguided or anti-town points, empty unvote'.
I want to see some content from Polaris real soon.
