Give me a jindori-scum reason for lying. Tell me why jindori-scum-who-claimed-PGO-D1 has any incentive to drop this claim. From everything I can see, jindori's play has been bad, but not scum-motivated.

I recall there being several posts made back when the Nobody Special wagon was getting started that anyone keeping their vote on jindori was likely scum. They're buried and I don't really feel like digging through the spam to find them, though I will if you insist.
Why, yes, I would appreciate that.

Whether he is scum or not...I have no idea. There's not enough to get a read in either direction. I do know that a wagon this size doesn't build up this fast and this hard based on a single post whose biggest flaw is odd wording. Not unless there's scum driving the wagon.
Do you think that NS violated his post restriction by not posting in color? If so, what do you imagine the penalty for that violation to be?
For NS' post restriction to be legit, all of the following have to be true:
1) There is a post restriction, either given to NS by the mod, or given to him by a player. Fine. I can believe that.
2) The post restriction limits the total words and posts (this is what NS says). Fine. I can believe that too.
3) The post restriction requires him to add in extraneous fluff ("I like pistachio ice cream"), which may or may not count against his total words. Still good.
All of the above I'm fine with, and could believe. But let's move on:
4) Either the post restriction limits his # of posts to less than keeps him from being prodded, or he's choosing not to post. Let's look at the timeline so far:
- Day 2 begins 2011-04-18 4:50pm CST.
- NobodySpecial posts 2011-04-21 6:14pm CST; more than 72 hours later, after he's passed prodding range.
- It is now 2011-04-24 5:43pm CST, which puts him at half an hour until prodding range. He's posted in plenty of other places in the site, but not here.
So either his post restriction is "You can't post until I can prod you," which is dumb on the face of it and I don't believe it, or he's choosing not to post.
5) His post contains "so many posts" and "so many total words", but doesn't actually contain any useful information. It's not "one post 200 words 72 hours" or "6 posts 300 words each day", both of which would've been *more useful* and *less words*. He even includes extraneous bits like ", so" at the end. Hell, if it's based on a formula, I bet you could even state that, with some simplicity, in seven words or less, or at least give some information about it.
6) According to his behavior, his post must be in a certain color. It wasn't. If I had a post restriction, which had limitations on it, I would double, triple, quadruple check I hit all those limitations before I posted it.
So it's the quadruple play of not attempting to convey information, not being scrupulous about the requirements of his restriction, and posting so little that it doesn't make sense, post restriction or no, that I find to be scummy.
