and like I said, scumhunting in the thread is more useful than a single cop's night checks | ||

(Don't take what I say to be true... Or should you???) what about never reading your role pm till until 2 scum have been lynched and truthfully scumhunting up until that point? | ||

Obligatory lurker policy post: Newbie XXIII Newbie XXV tldr: Lynching lurkers D1 has recently shown merit in newbie games. To quote lvdr from XXV: On August 26 2012 02:42 Lvdr wrote: "lynching active but contriversial players D1 typically leads to mislynches" My plan for D1 is to proceed as normal, but in the back of my mind I'll be thinking about a good lurker vote candidate. Good =/= lowest post count, it means picking a lurker who doesn't take a side in controversial issues. Near the end of D1, I will be most suspicious of people that have avoided attention and don't seem to care about scumhunting or offering original contributions.

Well there is no effective or distinguishable difference between true lurking and being afk so I'm going to think of them as the same thing. And note that lurker policy isn't based on lynching the person with lowest vote count, it has a lot to do with the content of their posts.

Because honestly it seems impossible to have a good idea of who is mafia by then. Last game everyone was like we NEED to lynch someone, and we ended up lynching WeeTee, an innocent! I love all my townies and I don't want to kill any. I don't want a no-lynch. Even if a townie gets lynched we still gain information from their flip. If a player flips green then the next step is to look at who all played parts in getting them lynched. And besides that if we don't have a lynch goal for D1 I think there will be a lot less conversation than normal. As far as it being impossible to have a good lynch candidate, that's where lurker policy comes in. | ||

Mafia thinks to themselves, "hmm here is something obvious I can post about that wont make me look suspicious." Your point? Are you saying that you are suspicious of KillingTime's post? 3 =/= 1,000,000 and how can you not expect at least that many people to respond to your no-lynch idea especially considering there's nothing else to talk about except lurker policy? I'd hoped that you'd taken a lesson from XXV and eased off from making inflammatory and impulsive posts. | ||

I think you are just OMGUS-ing each other. Nah I don't have a scum read on kush at all, I'm just underwhelmed by his reads so I'm pointing out my disagreements with them. He does look like town because of how eager and fearless he's being and I don't think it's likely that he'd stick his neck out so far if he were scum. On September 02 2012 19:38 JacobStrangelove wrote:Oh and I didn't have a clue what the reference was and was completely confused. :/ Kush was talking about all my king of the hill posts. And sorry kush they're probably going to keep coming whenever I'm bored. As for kush's case and insanely early vote for kreb: my comments in red On September 02 2012 18:45 kushm4sta wrote: ##vote kreb Post is really empty. If no one else comes along in 36ish hours I would be down with lynching him. Really premature vote, I know but I'm going to sleep for like 15 hours so it's going to be a while. Yeah it's an insanely premature vote. I don't see the logic in voting for someone based off their low post count when it's only 10 hours into the game and other people have yet to post. Then he uses 3 sentences to explain why lurkers are bad even though they are not necessarily mafia, a completely obvious idea. So his whole lurker policy is "it's a good idea to lynch lurkers." There is nothing suspicious at all about someone who makes their first post focused entirely on lurker policy. I have news for you kreb, a total lurker will be modkilled since you have to post at least once a day. The most lurkerish person we have to deal with is 1 post a day. Speaking of 1 post a day, You do realize the deadline is very far? A day is 48 hours not 24. Damn guys town is fine. In 30 hours Kreb is going to check SOME filters for a CHANCE to find the SLIGHTEST read. This is the only part of kreb's post that I can see scum motivations behind, and that's only because of the wording, "slightest read." It does stick out as the scummiest thing anyone has said so far but for kush to go ahead and vote just based on a single post when we don't know what kreb's final post count will be just seems ridiculous. An ##FOS would have been more appropriate. So no, kreb's post doesn't justify kush's vote.

@ drazak, kreb, cubu, kville, killingtime and stutters... you guys need to get in here and share some reads. None of you have assigned a read of any kind on anyone. | ||

It's been almost 2 hours since that first post of yours and I expected you to post something substantial by now. Aside from stutters who hasn't posted you're #1 on my lurker watch-list. On September 03 2012 00:04 Sonic Death Monkey wrote: As far as I can tell you've just latched on to my reads and reasonings for thrawn and WeeTee, I don't see why you'd accuse me of not having original reads. In the future remember that pointing out hypocrisy does nothing to address a person's argument. JacobStrangelove: Out of all the non-lurkers you've participated the least in scumhunting (asking questions, pointing out posts you find scummy, etc), is there anyone you find suspicious? Cuba that last post of yours is useless for the purposes of scumhunting. | ||
