EPTFrom other games, it seems the best 3 questions to ask are:
1) Stance on Lurkers: i.e. Do you policy lynch?
2) How do you think scum would try to infiltrate us?
3) [Being from Australia] Do you like prawns/shrimp on the "barbie"

Yes, the last Newbie thread was *FULL* of lurkers. I suggest inactive people be voted. I think the chance of scoring a scum hit is worth more than the chance of killing a townie (that was not contributing or helping!) 2) How do you think scum would try to infiltrate us? Tough question, I have to read the OP again as I am not sure whether the number of green/blue/red roles was fixed (I dont think it was). Therefore, its hard to know if there is 2/3/4 mafia. I think that will change tactics a lot?? Anyone else agree? 3) [Being from Australia] Do you like prawns/shrimp on the "barbie" I prefer my prawns in price paper rolls  | ||

Hmmm. How few posts defines a lurker? I mean if someone really does not contribute, I guess. But we should at least try to get in contact with her/him. 2) How do you think scum would try to infiltrate us? No idea. I guess by acting like town? I'm not that knowledgeable about what they can do. I don't think just lurking is the best strategy for them though. 3) [Being from Australia] Do you like prawns/shrimp on the "barbie" I hate seafood. | ||

Anyway, Mocsta: 1) I don't really want to discuss policy lynching since it defeats the purpose, but we as a town need to be hard on lurkers this game. Last game had some painful lurking (from my comfortable obs perspective) and that was a main reason that the town lost. You don't have to spam up the thread all day, but you do need to give your thoughts/reads/comments often. 2) Pretty sure it's 3 mafia. OP doesn't say anything but the other Newbie games with 13 players all had 3 and anything else is just unbalanced. 3) Not sure, shrimp are good though. | ||

agree. We need lurker definition. I think its not just lack of quantity (e.g. 2 posts per day) but also lack of quality (harder to define). Need others input on lack of quality. @all What is defined as a low quality post? sorry if typos. Writing on phone on bus | ||

Not sure. I'd have to go with yes for similar reasons as stated above. A lurking townie is doing us little good, so lynching lurkers should generally have a positive outcome (for town). I'm for it. 2) How do you think scum would try to infiltrate us? Also not sure. This is my first game of Mafia outside of some eight grade bastardization that shall never be spoken of again. 3) [Being from Australia] Do you like prawns/shrimp on the "barbie" Yes! Seafood is my favorite! | ||

I think we need to try and focus on getting some good conversation going for D1. We need to get information but also as stated if anybody posts like once a day... then maybe D2/D3 we should look to get rid of them. 2) How do you think scum would try to infiltrate us? cause suspicion on the newbier townies and any lurkers. Use LAL to their advantage to buy them some time and hope we mess up some lynches. - Also why I don't think we should immediately LAL (lurkers anyway... liars are a different story). And I love shrimp. | ||

Townies, don't lie. What do you mean by "how they would go about infiltrating us"? They're going to act as townie as possible without actually contributing. From experience (XXXI), I wouldn't expect them to offer any controversial opinions because it really is nerve-wracking to be put under suspicion as scum. IMO, end of day votecounts are the best form of evidence against scum. | ||

To answer the questions proposed: 1) I still am not sure whether or not lurker kills on day 1 are good, it's a high variance move which I don't necessarily like, but if no one has come off as being scummy, it's better than having an obvious mislynch. 2) I'm sure there will be some sort of pressure voting happening in this game, especially since we don't know how many mafia there are, they could easily start ganging up on one person and it'd be a lot harder to detect than last game where it was guaranteed to be 2 members, it could be fairly high at 3 + even a serial killer who would be willing to lynch anyone since they don't care whatsoever. 3) I don't even know if I have a slight allergy to them, my mouth gets itchy when I eat prawns  Moc: Low quality post are just filler posts which doesn't really help encourage discussion or which are kind of pointless and can be considered just posting to create noise. The latter is the type I dislike more though, since it becomes a lot harder to catch up on the thread without getting lost and having to backtrack and read again. | ||

Obviously it doesn't benefit the town but I don't think it hurts the town that much also. It benefits the scum because it makes it easier for them to blend in but good players should still be able to find the mafia even with lurkers. I can understand "not knowing what to say", but do you agree that providing your opinions on other players and justifying your vote are necessary? Also, what timezone are you in? | ||

I think that should be the hardest pick... | ||
