I am trying to collect as many JIDs as possible very quickly, but people want to have a conversation rather than just swapping JIDs. Why?

JamPuz is NOT about quickly collecting JIDs. JamPuz is about conversations not just contacts. So please take the time to have a conversation with the person you are swapping JIDs with, and not simply ask for their JID and move on. There are no prizes for completing the JamPuz documents, they are simply an aid to encouraging people to have conversations with a wide range of people during JOTA-JOTI. ScoutLink has set up a #jampuz channel on ScoutLink IRC for those that simply want to swap JIDs.
