I assume you dont want to lynch lurkers then CJS.
Why not? Do you think scum will not lurk at all?

This talk of lurkers is really confusing me. I mean, we SHOULD all know better than to do this. Why is this even being discussed? If someone falls for the "trap" it's mostly due to naivety than anything else. I think we should move the discussion along.

As I have not played with you guys before, it is difficult to make tonal reads on Day 1. I already find a few people scummy: koshi and paperscraps. But this is only a slight lean, as i realize some people just post more "scumlike" than others.

I said I have a slight scum read based on gut instinct and feel. I bunch this together into tonal reads. But like I said, it's very slight as I have not played with the players before. There is no need for me to start throwing evidence on people at the beginning of Day 1 (to be exact there is little evidence). My posts have been much better than some of the fluff already being made. I mean, I can go into more detail why I think koshi and paperscraps have posted more scumlike than others who have posted...but that post can wait.

What trap?
Like what trap are you talking about?

Do you like lurkers in town?

CJS, I think that at least 1 or 2 scum will be labeled as a lurker and with only probably 3-4 town, its a much smaller pool to look at as opposed to all 14 people.

But how are we going to be able to tell the scum lurkers from the town lurkers? We should just shoot them all!

Or we could get them drunk and get them to admit to being bad. Does this plan sound better?

Also:


Please and thank you.

I dont trust you. Bad stuff happens around you..


We differentiate the scum lurkers from the town lurkers by reading their posts.

@Oatsmaster

The "trap" is for people to bait others into saying that lynching a lurker is a good play (when it is absolutely terrible).

The 1st problem with "lurkers" is that you don't know if somebody is actually lurking or just not on the thread in the game. Secondly, there is no direct correspondence between lurkers and scum. The town has only a limited number of lynches. These need to be used wisely and not used on someone who is not posting. 0 information is garnered by lynching someone who has no posts.

But to answer your question, I do not like it when people don't post. But what can you do? .

But if they lurk and don't post, how will we be able to tell the difference?
And nothing bad happens around me. Who am I?

There isnt a difference between lurking and not posting.
There is a difference between high effort low post count and low effort low post count.

@FirmTofu

I'd rather wait until more posts are made. I think only 6 or 7 of the players in the game have posted so far.
