We DO need to have pressure to make people who usually lurk (whether they be town or scum) post more often. So I like the guideline in general. So lets try to aim for 40 as a benchmark why not. Balla is this your first mafia game? I was browsing some of this towns old games and didn't see you. | ||

And its not like there is anything from stopping me from literally posting ... ... ... etc if I were actually scared koshi (or anyone else) would follow through with it. Is there anyone who is legitimately advocating for letting people lurk? I understand that its largely inevitable (hell, im one of the poster children) but we should still be making a reasonable effort to pressure people and get thoughts when they are around. What are you trying to accomplish with this post? I disagree that its inevitable. If we as a town are all posting well and making concise thoughts then we could just find lurking scum on the wayside. It almost seems like your advocating to let people lurk. I don't even know why your bringing up you making numbered post. Of course that isn't acceptable do you even have to ask it? | ||

How do you avoid drawing my vote? By spamming as much as possible. How do you conclude that I'm "almost advocating to let people lurk"? I literally ask that question as a rhetorical because its implied that lurking is bad. Is this real life right now? Why use a logical fallacy. 40 posts is a decent benchmark to strive to hit. I said we should try to hit it but not spam. There is obviously a middle ground. Implying that we should vote simply on the basis of posts was not the intention. And no this isn't real life your playing a forum game called mafia  | ||

No one's being lynched for having 39 quality pro-town posts. It's a fine benchmark. I liked his vote on LM. I noticed earlier when i was going thru some players in the mafia database that his name wasn't anywhere. And his opening seemed like he wasn't new. | ||

But yeh, look for content instead not postcount. We do NOT want ppl spamming useless shit. Why did you want Jonny to out Ballas scumtells in the thread this early before Balla even had a chance to play into them ? Scum tells are much harder to change then it would appear. It isn't easy for balla to change his scum play on the dime so it isn't like its helping balla if he rolled scum this game. I would like to know for a point of reference for my self and for the thread so they can know what to look out for. By talking with jonny even about basic stuff like this it can help me get a read on him as well. Day 1 is all about generating discussion. I'm sure if I hadn't asked this question and Balla had a similar game to his scum games and Jonny noticed this he would of made a case using his knowledge. So I can only think of good reasons to ask. | ||

Why did you want Jonny to out Ballas scumtells in the thread this early before Balla even had a chance to play into them ? Sidesprung you asked me a question I responded. There is alot going in the thread right now. I don't just want to see content I want to see some post count too. People are conversing, poking at one another a back and forth. You make one question at me and you disappeared. Don't you have anything else to comment on, or respond to my post or make a comment on another post or give your opinion. Anything really. Dropping one post and leaving the thread is not the environment town should be fostering. Thru discussion like i was talking about earlier we can learn other alignments and discover ulterior motives. Ill give you somethings to post on. What do you think of Balla's early vote on LM? Was it appropriate given LM"s posts? What do you think of my response to your post? Does what I say made sense? Do you agree that I should have questioned Jonny about Balla's scum game or should I have not said anything? Why do you think Suki poke at Jonnys two opinions? Do you think Suki got defensive after Balla inquired about her post? Why do you think Suki would post about jonny if not trying to discern if hes mafia or not? (These questions go out to Suki as well?) Who is your towniest read at the moment? Who do you think is most likely scum? Do you believe in policy lynching lurkers? What is the lowest amount someone should be expected to post? | ||

This post feels like a lot of fluff and not much substance. The point of the questions is to have sidesprang answer them ^^ What do you think was my intention? | ||

On February 04 2014 12:05 JonnyLaw wrote: I'd say it could feel like bussing scum buddy. This is interesting. So why does it feel more like bussing a scum buddie (implying im scum) As opposed to trying to get a lurker to post. I should properly preface this by saying that before the game as I was looking at some of the games from other players. I noticed sidesprang had a worrying about of posts in his town game. Perhaps like 2 - 3 posts a cycle and that was pushing it. I noted that and planned to put alot of pressure on him this game. I was considering trying to start a policy lynch on him with my first post to get conversation moving and put pressure. But we had good thread conversation when i joined it. So i dismissed the idea and decided to approach him with this questioning. I want to see his reads. And if he lurks like he does most other games we will have a problem so I don't want to let that happen. Here are his other games for refrence. I think the game where he posts the most is as mafia.

Oh I answered all those questions in my Google spreadsheet already. I ll post what I got on you guys so far. Its not all up to date on the recent things that happened. 1. Balla24 Town I like him so far very aggressive and making discussion and seems like a real player in this game 2. Sidesprang Bleh One post so far I knew he would be a candidate for a policy lynch and hes confirming that. 3. Alakaslam Posted 2 things with no content so far 4. cakemanofdoom no content There is quite a bit of things in the game atm and he chooses to comment on suki saying thats nice. Pretty lackluster choice 5. LoneMeow slightly scummy His first post sucked I don't like it at all and might be down to vote him just based on that. He followed up with basic policy stuff. I dont like him so far 6. Jaybrundage The towniest town that ever towned 7. Hopeless1der Meh we argued a bit over nothing hasn't posted any content tho so much is going on in the thread where did he go? 8. Oatsmaster Hasn't posted yet. I think at the start of the game is pretty late for him tho 9. JonnyLaw Pretty waffly at the start. He is posting but he doesn't seem to have firm convictions. He didn't liike Balla early but he has played with baller 3-2 times with him being scum so his suspicion is warrented. He hasn't produced much content tho he just seems like going with the flow 10. Suki scummy I don't like suki so far she just seems like she has no real motivation behind her posting. Her poke at jonnys waffleing was ok but then when balla inquired about it she said she never said she implied hes scum or anything LIke wtf? Why poke at someone but have no real reason behind it. It would seem that she didn't understand him but then she didn't say that she got very defensive. Said she didn't see anything with LM posting slight defending I dont like her atm 11. Koshi Posted some generic lets post alot then disappeared | ||

On February 04 2014 12:29 sidesprang wrote: People should post enough to be readable and enough to get their scumreads out. I don't belive in a set number. So what im worried about is that as I have shown a good bit with my recent posts. Is that you aren't going to put enough posts in the thread that we can read you. Your games are testament to this. People have trouble reading you because of your lack of posting. If your scum you seem too put more effort into the game. (I can relate to this with my newer games as scum you have complete information and know what your doing, as newer town it sometimes just feels like your fumbling around in the dark) So having all this in consideration. I would actually like you to set a post amount that you feel you should be able to reach with in a cycle. I am all about quality over quantity but we need a little bit of both. Set for your self a arbitrary number that you think is maybe a bit high but reasonable and try to reach that goal. Of course I want you to put thought and have a clear meaning in your post. I can not stress this enough. When you post something know what you want to accomplish with your post. I don't want you to spam. I just think you set the bar to low for your self in post count and I would like to improve this part of your town game. What do ya say? | ||
