Hi All.

From 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 get influence with us?

3) [fluff] DONT BUY A POOL. I wasted all my time today with pools and hate it !

I won't be around for the next 6 to 8 hrs (DAMN POOL!)

I think we gotta make sure we don't let people get away with easy bandwagon votes. If you vote for somebody, make sure you state the reasons why, even if you think others have already stated those. Try finding a new piece of incriminating info to go with your vote.
This way people will hopefully be critical of who they vote for and it should give us extra information that everyone can benefit from.

The guides are REALLY useful - make sure you read them again; also speak to the coaches. The feedback is invaluable.

BUT.. you are almost sounding "paranoid" - I know this, because after my last game, many assumed I was "paranoid".

zarepath, thanks for the well thought out response.

I actually replied to Sn0_Man before reading this.. if i did read this first, I could have saved myself a post.

Wow. Thats it over the night shift.

Oats u sound like sno_man.

perhaps the aggresion u 2 have shown is why there is a lack of discussion.

I think u should read what i posted to him.

My questions are ice breakers and i have not a genuine comment from to stimulate town conversation. In fact. You are deterring conversation.

@oatsmaster
Why should i NOT treat is the outcome of your agressive posts [stopping fluid and positive town conversation] as scummy motivations

Trotske,

I agree his posts are ermm.. "diffferent?"..
however, there are still to my knowledge 3 participants who have not contributed at all.

@Trotske
Since you are here, I may as well try to generate some meaningful discussion.

(1)
Do you think it was reasonable to mention to Sn0_Man and Oatsmaster that their over-agressive/paranoid type early-game playstyle might actually be preventing people from talking (including the 3 I listed above)?

(2)
Do you think that behaviour is a normal town approach to the game?

Fuck no.
Lynching a scum read is good because it provides discussion around the lynchee which is helpful in locating scum.
For example, a day 1 scum lynch will almost surely not have any scum, depending on the situation so then just lynch everyone who wasnt on the wagon.
Really optimistic example.
However lynching a lurker is bad because it doesnt generate meaningful discussion because its a yes/no question.
Lynch this lurker or not. And its really difficult to actually justify a lurker lynch in another way other than, he has not contributed, he is harmful to town, he should die.


2. I really dont want to answer that. Because I dont think my answer will help town in any way.

Its not that he asked about policy lynching, its that the question is phrased in a such a way that someone can get away with a yes/no answer that doesnt generate discussion.
2.
How confident are you in your answer to question 2?
My point was that the question is not a good question because what do we know about optimum scum behaviour?

All you have done is successfully derailed the thread convo, and made people uncomfortable to post. Others have agreed with me. I see no town motivation for your behaviour.

You have continued this behaviour, and when asked about it, you dodge the questions and instead ask irrelevant questions to the mods.

hey.. you realise your not helping out town with your attitude

Why are you so against town collaborating together to prepare for the scum hunt?

Hmm... Mocsta could you link the game Oats was scum. I just looked through three of his old games and he was town in all. It did bring to my attention the massive change in his play style though. Although it doesn't incriminate him, it sure as hell doesn't help what I'm thinking about him.

The hypocrisy in what you've accused Mocsta of and what you have done so far is amazing.

This is funny coming from you. *ALMOST SURELY NOT*

Didnt you play in Newbie 32...werent you lynched Day1 as scum?


I think its unlikely to lynch scum Day1, and in my 2 games we haven't achieved that.
But obviously something went right in your game to lynch you.

So far, there havevn't been too many contributions; but a few of us have indicated wanting a combined scum hunt and bouncing ideas against each other. I 100% advocate this as well.


Perhaps this will be the key to lynching scum Day1 (after all I dont want you to feel alone )

but a few of us have indicated wanting a combined scum hunt and bouncing ideas against each other. I 100% advocate this as well.

Others have agreed with me.
