Lower than expected activity can indicate blue just as much as scum. I like when DTs focus their checks on the lurkers rather than players who are active. There isn't a great in thread way to deal with lurkers. If I analyse lurkers post history at all, I usually wait until Day 2 or 3, that's enough time for the people who are lurking for a reason to make themselves more apparent I think. not to be rude but this all seems obvious to the point of fluff... i rather just put all my votes on best mafia read and attempt to discern b/t town lurkers and mafia lurkers as the game goes along instead of making activity a point of interest. i don't worry about them until i get a vote record unless i'm really stumped verdict: Doc's post seems stiff and awkwardly timed, and I feel like most of the policy discussion that might ensue from this won't really get anywhere, but it beats chasing people up trees for opening game banter. I guess I like Doc as town for now | ||

I guess I like Doc as town for now I think a town meta that sticks to LAL makes it much harder for mafia to maneuver in general. If people start letting town lies slide I feel way less pressured as scum and immediately start thinking of how I could abuse fake claims. A town that clinches down on that sort of thing would make me nervous. I dont usually support policy lynches but anyone caught in a lie deserves intense scrutiny and questioning imo | ||

I guess I like Doc as town for now I'm going to go ahead and shut down this line right now. Maybe you get a point for being zealous, but not really. I've played and read a number of games w/ DrH. He doesn't care how discussion gets started up, he just wants the ball to get rolling. He hasn't played in a while. I don't think his post makes him town or scum. It's a bland boring useless post for the most part, but it's one that used to be a more standard way of opening games. I'm more concerned about how you find a post that is "stiff and awkwardly timed," two traits that are more often considered mafia tells, towny? Can you explain that more fully? It's also pretty weird that you reasonably correctly point out that his post is going nowhere while simultaneously responding to it. | ||

and i mean yeah, "intense scrutiny and questioning" sure, but are you afraid people are actually NOT going to do this? this almost seems like an empty statement | ||

Ov course , in the timeframe of a single game it doesn't mean anything. I'm just talking general meta and from when I did most of my playing (a while ago) it was v eady to get away with fakeclaims as scum (ive been scum many times and done it myself many times) or set up weird vuses (buses) in themed games and sfuff (stuff). When towns in general are lax about that stuff (as i have once known them to be) i don't worry so much if i roll scum. Townies who lie just throw a wrench into everything by creatinf (creatinf /€ fuck) we Creating mislynch opportunities. Sorry for the typos amd weird formatting. Did it again. Can't backspace on my mobile for some reason, really abboying annoying seeing as I have enormous thumbs. | ||
