there's also this

us, us, us

vs.

them, them, them

line that he is reinforcing with this post

he is hard-aligning with you, rayn, which if i were you would make me instantly wary, but i don't know how well you know this guy. and town will want to start cozying up to townreads, too, so it doesn't make him scum. doesn't keep the subtext from making me itch, though

@Rayne, I think that this game is forming up to be a clash of mindsets - Old vets like myself, you, and possibly Yamato compared to the newer styles of rsoultin, ruxxar, and... most other people here.

Somehow, there's a mental disconnect preventing communication between the two sides. We need to fix this if we want to win.

WTF

1 - I don't even know why you count yamato in your team when you're not sure he's town or mafia.
2 - Rayn actually asked you to drop the lynch inactive thing and start to scumhunt and comment on things, so it's not far from what rsoul and ruxx are scumreading for
3 - WHY are you fucking segregating the players in opposide sides ... there is only two teams : town and mafia. It really feels like you're trying to get people to fight

There is NO disconnect preventing communication. Everybody, scumreading or twonreading you, agrees on these two things:
1 - sure we should lynch lurkers refusing to play
2 - you should start doing something else though

People I know in this game are in green, people I've seen play are in black, and people who are complete strangers are in red. As long as you keep completely missing obvious things, yeah I'm going to act like a cheerleader/coach/wise old mountain sage because as far as I'm concerned, you're all rookies. I'm trying my damnedest to channel my inner Ace here, because anyone who doesn't know what active lurking is is a Jujub and my shoulders aren't strong enough to do this by myself.

rels is right

if your issue is you can't english and don't understand what's in my posts, there's little i can do to help with that until you bother to be more specific

Sure, one group understands what active lurking is and the other doesn't. One group realizes that LAL is a great policy to start D1, and the other thinks it isn't.

The circles aren't Town/Mafia or anything like that - I'll welcome anyone in. I'm including Yamato because I've played with him for a long time and I know he'll get it. If he doesn't, ezpz scumread, but he's better than that.

OK but you're wrong. Everybody is OK lynching lurker if we don't have better lynches. You stated at the beginning of the game that you would hard push lurkers; good, I agree with that.

Now it's time for you to do something else though. Cause the only person that did less scumhunting than you was yamato. The only thing you did was a case on rsoul paraphrasing all her posts, that didn't convince me. So you are an active lurker right now.

You could start be doing what you said you would when waking up:

iGrok can you comment on the actual cases in the thread?
Like i get your approach but there is no reason to actually discuss the inactives. Everyone knows what you are saying about inactives and active lurkers.

Care to take on onto what me/Rels have posted in the last couple of pages?

As its 6am, I don't have the mental fortitude to go through other people's cases at the moment, but I'll do that tomorrow. Right now I'm just watching Dota 2 and checking the thread occasionally. Unfortunately, some people still don't seem to understand what active lurkers are (Ruxxar, I'm looking at you).

You and Rels have been talking about things but, as I said, I'm not super mentally sharp right now, so I'll go over it tomorrow. I think I said something about EAP earlier today, and also, iirc Shining hadn't even posted before I left for dinner? Could be wrong on that. The point is, tomorrow I'll go through and reassess everyone to figure out who the lurkeriest lurker is.

Problem I have with your strategy is that lurking is a nebulous term for people of low post activity.

Maybe you define lurker differently from me, but lynching people with post count as the only metric without looking at the content if their posts is stupid.

Everyone will hate my shining read but it is right. It all deals with the emotional responses he shows and the tone in which he responds in the thread plus how he does his posts a bit.

For example his first real post is horrid even for shining, and it made me want to scum read him. But his other posts that are somewhat catch up posts with reads and a response to me make me go yep this is town shining.

This is really vague but shining can't really be read content wise early even if he says smart things he's always going to sound super robotic in his posts instead of more free. He can't change his scum tone shrig

eh, ruxx, if he's trying to lynch me it's clearly not based on post count

he's saying my posting is useless, but he won't ask me what i mean on the posts he doesn't understand

others are clearly finding my pushes and points, but he's not, yet he doesn't have the curiosity to see what he is that he's missing? or prove to them that they're wrong and he's right and my posts really are nothing but fluff?

it's...god how do i even begin to explain these things ><

people here will call it meta. i usually call it tone

in reality it's a hybrid of meta/tone and actually speaks to what i know of his personality and what mindset/thoughts i believe are natural for him. scum usually has a very hard time replicating the thought process they'd have as town

this is the same way that i'm reading damdy, btw, but my track record on damdy is very, very good. i'm most confident of my damdy read as a result

The thing is no one is going to say "I love lurkers, let's lynch active people!"

As scum this is the perfect strategy for pushing lynches without much resistance.

And of course with your own arbitrary interpretation of what is a lurker or not(active lukers?!) you could easily pick a few townies to mislynch before you change up your strategy and lynch people for other reasons.

Ruxxar, nowhere did I say that post count was the only metric. If Yamato were to write a 2000-word treatise on each player's relationships with each other, he'd be well on his way to not being a lurker. But low post count means low interaction with other players, which is literally all the information we have to go on.

British Dictionary:
lurking
/ˈlɜːkɪŋ/
adjective
1.
lingering and persistent, though unsuspected or unacknowledged

In Himalayas I used this exact same logic of "I hate lurkers" as scum to mislynch town, so excuse me if I'm a bit suspicious.

1 - it's clear that by "lurker" igrok means "no content people"
2 - whatever the definition is, ruxxar said he was OK lynching lurker and suddendly he's not anymore

Honestly you can argue about what a lurker is but even when we lynch lurkers its for another reason usually besides lurking.

So I need opinions about other people.
