EPTso the almost complete absence of chatter even pregame makes me a bit wary. so i would suggest that we strongly and seriously threaten any lurkers with our day 1 lynch. 0 tolerance for lurking! my previous newbie game suffered from modkills and inactivity, and as a result it became really hard to gather a complete picture or at least see how 1 player reacted in the context of another considering only 50% was participating..

Considering the game was supposed to start a few hours ago I think you're both being very hasty here. Wait and the scummy players will expose themselves. | ||

Besides, we don't even know who the lurkers are before late in the day, so I'm not sure your point makes sense. | ||

Anyway, I really need sleep. Try to push the lurkers into the open, please. If we make it a policy from the start, they won't get ideas. | ||

Wait and the scummy players will expose themselves. hasty? nah, i don't think so. last game, we allowed lurkers to slide by through to day 2(!). i think that kind of behavior basically set town up as a massive pushover and led to us losing in 2 days. i don't think there's any downside in establishing from the onset how we intend to play and what expectations we may have of each other. plus, one of the worst things you can do as a town player is to make zero effort to establish or at least prove yourself as town. i'm not asking for loads of spam -- i'm at work for >= 12 hours a day myself -- but just a thoughtful post or 2. i don't think that's unreasonable to ask... do you? | ||

I have a dreadful habit of noticing grammar/spelling errors right as I click post and fix them immediately after (probably a good 30-50% of my posts outside of this forum). Hopefully I don't get myself mod-killed Oh god, I do this constantly. Gotta remember this rule >_< | ||

We need to create an atmosphere where players are actively participating and feel that their reads are valued. If you feel like your ideas are always shot down you may be tempted to just bandwagon which won't help us with reading and weeding out scum. On lynching lurkers: we're not sure if we're going to have any anyways so lets not worry about this for now. Post quality information over quantity. If you only have 10 posts a day, but they are all excellent posts, you are doing a better job than the guy who posts 50 times but just spams information. We will be lynching someone day 1. This is the best way for us to get information. Mafia tend to try to keep their heads down day 1 and become braver as the days go on. DO NOT LET THEM DO THIS. We need to hear from everybody. If you're asked questions, answer them. If you're town, you have nothing to hide so why not be as open as possible with everything (except if you're a blue, don't reveal that). | ||

Anyways I agree with Blurry, we have to lynch someone day 1 to put some pressure on mafia, otherwise they can just sit this one out doing basically nothing. On September 25 2013 13:04 onlywonderboy wrote: Oh god, I do this constantly. Gotta remember this rule >_< THIS SO MUCH. | ||
