Also you may or may not lose control of your body upon the first few seconds of reemerging. Regularly the recalled hallucinations are unsettling, but my mental auditor assure me that the ultimate cause is simply distorted, repressed memories pertaining to previous encounters with your maternal progenitor. + Show Spoiler + Sorry, couldn´t resist | ||

Ummm... what? I'm sure you know this. Kenpachi's townie claim means nothing. It never means anything. He does it every single game. LSB ignoring it does not imply contradiction; it implies common sense. And your FoS on him is incredibly scummy. FURTHERMORE, claiming town is not pro-scum, because it is in everyone's best interest to appear as a vanilla towie. Townies want to look green because they are green. Blues want to look green so that they are not a Mafia target. And Mafia wants to look green (most of the time) because they don't want to get lynched. Claiming Town is in the persons own best interest, but Town isn´t helped by people claiming Town, it doesn´t give us anything, except knowing that people are saying things we can´t possibly trust. Anyway I don´t much care about the claim, Kenpachi isn´t the one who said that we should lynch all liars. I understand that you want to defend LSB but I really want to hear an answer from him, not you, Nisani. | ||

I assume "the mob" means "the scum", unless I'm terribly wrong at English. which would end up translating to "as the scum picks us(the town) off". Nothing wrong here imo. Yeah, I caught my mistake right after posting. I saw Mob and thought of Town on a murderous rampage lynching Town for mistakenly lynching other Town. A Mob is a large gathering of people without much direction or reason, while Scum are a small and organized group. In Mafia, Mob usually fit Town better than Scum. | ||

What I don´t like is you advocating not lying as a general rule, but ignoring Kenpachi for doing an either useless, Pro-Scum or Anti-Town claim. If we are using LAL then why are we leaving Kenpachi alone because of his metagame, when his metagame is very unhelpfull for Town? That´s the inconsistency I have a problem with, why you want a big overarching policy but only apply it sporadically, and why specifically Kenpachi is spared your wrath. | ||

It is pretty simple, if we start lynching lurkers then scum will start talking and we will just be lynching into busy townies most likely. About lurkers, we have a seemingly unlimited number of lynches at our disposal and everybody has to post every 24 hours as it says in the OP. If we don't lynch any lurkers day1 we can still lynch them day2 and by that point we'll have like 6-7 posts from everybody. If they're all useless one liners, then lets go ahead and kill a few of them but there's no reason to lynch them prematurely when we can just postpone it and lynch them later. Later we will have more material and the lynch will not be based solely on their lurking but also on their being useless for a long period of time. For people who did not notice it the OP says that you must post in this thread every 24 hours The bolded part. Explain how you know what mafia are thinking and what stances they are taking. Also explain to me how lynching lurkers with our multi-lynch means we will hit only town with all our lynches. On not lynching lurkers day 1, if we show leniency for lurking now, then it sets a precedent for days to come. Waiting for lurkers to provide enough content to decide their alignment one way or the other is exactly the problem with lurkers and can take weeks. Show no tolerance by lynching them straight from day 1, and they'll realise we're serious. Lol because if you start to lynch lurkers then scum will stop lurking and we'll just end up lynching people who are busy doing their homework, I think I already wrote that in this thread, don't you read this thread? I don't get it, are you trying to claim that only town has homework, and only scum will become active? Rofl so you want to lynch people who has homework based on the fact that scum also has homework? Lynching lurkers discourages people from being abolutely useless to us, and not even providing enough material to make reads. If lynching some lurkers forces the lurking mafia to post, we have a higher chance of identifying them correctly. On the number of lynches, we should consider three a maximum. I figure we would have just been given a double lynch if bad stuff happened past two. If we ignore lurkers day1 then we will have 6-7 posts of theirs by day2 lynch. Then they will not be lurkers anymore and we can start discussing what they have posted. Also, arguing about lynch-all-lurkers defeats the purpose of the policy itself as it will allow people to lurk even harder. But not in this game, because by day2 lynch they will have 6-7 posts anyway. Am I getting through to you at all? prplhz, 6-7 posts during a week of play is nothing, we can´t really get a read from just that and will be forced to lynch them anyway. I can see that you want to wait with lynching, but I don´t think the end result will be any different if we do it day 2 instead. We might as well push lurkers now and get more activity. | ||

WBG, even if there are players that often lurk, metagame isn´t the issue, the issue is that lurking hurts Town. If they do this often and get away with it it´s probably because it´s harder to deal with lurkers in other games where only one player is lynched each day, them lurking in other games hurt just as much there. Having a history of lurking is no excuse. | ||

I agree that history of lurking is no excuse for lurking, but then if we're going to actually lynch a lurker today we need to figure out which one that is. The other thing I want to stress is that focusing on lurkers is going to distract us from the scum who aren't lurking. Hell, if we are fervent enough about punishing lurkers a lot of them will probably just become active and lose a lot of suspicion. Okay, we shouldn´t lynch all at once in case some of them just have a slow start. IMO the goal of lynching lurkers is to activate Town and to force scum to post or die, if scum change their playstyle then it´s actually a win for us. On the subject of this taking attention from scumhunting, unfortunate, but what else can we do? Waiting until the last few hours before the lynch will only make it harder to get enough votes on the lurkers. | ||

That's a pretty silly assumption, my post said nothing of the sort. Why does "This is my first big game" become "I'm trying to help but will probably fail"? What makes you think that because I'm new to this sort of thing, I'm just gonna be a hindrance? Sure, I don't have the same experience as some of the veterans here, but I can still be just as useful. I'm not using being new as an excuse to "lurk", I've actually posted a decent ammount already. You really seem to be over-analyzing a simple hello post, I don't know what else to say. 25% of your posts are used for defending against my FoS, so I wouldn´t call it having posted a decent amount. The posts you have is mostly policy, and a FoS on sabin010, something echoed by too many other players for my taste. You are among the players I might have put on a lurker list. Fine, I´ll give you the benefit of doubt, let´s say you don´t want to use being new as an excuse not to contribute. If so, can you give us/me your opinion of the game so far? Is there anyone apart from the usual suspects (chaoser, sabin010 and kenpachi) that you think needs our attention, or that you want to, for whatever reason, see more posts from? I want to know who you think is acting weird, but not who you think is a Town player. | ||

And then there is a similar thing on Sabini. Add to that letting the vote on you slip by without a hint of defense from your side. I don't know what you are doing but it is not pro-town play and that is why I vote for you. I disagree. My FoS is directed and doesn´t really involve anyone but me and my target, so I don´t disrupt the overall discussion much. I know that LSB and xsksc have to take a stand and answer when they are being called out, instead of just posting policy, one-liners and bandwagoning the latest target. I also know that since LSB responded with a long post to my FoS on him, he has posted twice, one useless spampost and one where he did a weak push on WBG and Chaoser. As for not defending from votes on me, they vote because the inital cases were kind of weak. That might be true, but that´s still not the point, I´m trying to get people talking, not getting them lynched due to one odd post. | ||
