I'd say it will depend on the lurker ratio. But it's a small game, so I will agree we need pretty low lurker tolerance. Anyone played with each other before I played my first game with Blurry and Bereft. Blurry played a solid town, I would expect him to do the same here. | ||

I think we should hold off on lynching lurkers the first day, but if they continue to lurk we definitely should lynch them, imo it's a scumtell as that's what a scum would like to do - be passive and watch townies kill other townies and jumping on lynchwagons whenever a townie is in danger of getting lynched. | ||

I can't imagine anyone would give themselves up on the first day. As a result, it seems that using the first lynch to help us create the right sort of environment is a better strategy than killing someone who we think is a few % more likely to be scum based on their first post or two. Of course, if I do feel like someone has 'raised their hand' Day 1 I'll let you know. | ||

I personally agree with Blurry, Playerboy345 and Stormtemplar we should NOT lynch lurkers on day1, it puts zero pressure on scum and will likely just clear out townies.. | ||

Can you explain your opinion on this a bit more? The only thing you CAN achieve with lynching lurkers is getting people to be more active, and I'm pretty sure we need to hunt scum, not force people to write meaningless posts. It puts literally ZERO pressure on the mafia, we need to be actively scumhunting - not lurkerhunting. | ||

As for my idea on on lurkers, I think pressure is key as there is really no reason for town to avoid discussion. Anyway, greetings from Australia  | ||

I'm all for lynching a scum read for information as first priority, but first we need scum reads, and to have scum reads we need people to type things. One of the few ways anyone is going to go after each other day one is based on their meta knowledge of each other, and in this game that only puts Bereft, Blurry and heavenz in the spotlight so far (unless someone has neglected to mention playing with each other, so far). In essence, we don't have good odds for hitting scum yet. We can try to produce active townies and posts from scum to read. So let's do that. | ||

While not lynching lurkers might be the attitude we have towards the end of the day right now we need to be in the mindset of lynching lurkers until we see that it won't be a problem. It's not a black and white choice for day1 right away. If it's not a problem when it gets close to voting time then we succeeded. If it is a problem, THEN we can discuss whether or not to policy lynch lurkers. But right now the game is still opening up, our mindset should be to policy lynch lurkers. We need to be scumhunting, so hopefully this post serves as an end to the lurker lynching discussion (we will lynch lurkers!!!) and the start to the good stuff. I'd like to hear from the guys who have played together so far (i think that was Bereft, Heavenz and Blurry?), what do you guys think about the opening tone of the game and can you give us some insight on each other's play? | ||
