Hmm in a way yeah, but also people are busy in life, so I don't think too much about it atm. I'm not really sure what to make of inactivity yet. Generally I'm not a huge fan, since on a feels level it feels bad to lynch someone for being busy in real life. But on the other hand, I think mafia can have a difficult time joining in because they feel the pressure to always not be scum read for posting some random stuff.

"Mason and Parity Cop vs Godfather goon and roleblocker
cop and jailkeeper vs Godfather, strongarm and role blocker
Jailkeeper and vigilante vs Godfather, Goon, Strongarm"
I do not recognize the jailkeeper, strong arm and godfather.

There is probably a 50/50 red or green on both of you so far.
And what do you think about me so far?
Do "serious" scumhunting on a matter that was put forward as a joke. Bit too hard-try + Show Spoiler +

What do you think Rels?
And lastly it maybe seems like he is trusting people too much and tries to buddy them.
That all said I don't scumread you. It's just something I saw . Game is young.
This could be very wise, or it could be nothing....

what do you mean by this?
who is silent and why is that worrying?
I just think the silent mafia is the hardest mafia to beat!
They will probably post when I am asleep. But we still need more "reads"
why do you think silent mafia are harder to beat?
what makes you think they will post when you're asleep when they're not posting now?
Because it turns into a guessing game, you should know this.
Because they might be on different time zones. Hence my earlier question to americans.
but the OP says 10 posts or you're dead so people will post or they will die. problem solved. also, if they don't post because they're in another timezone then time will pass and suddenly they will start posting so it seems like problem will solve itself again.
dunno why it's so worrying.
and no, i don't know that lurking scum are more worrying. i think active scum are just as worrying because sometimes they turn out to be impossible to kill. maybe because i just played with damdred and he was reasonably active scum and impossible to kill and i didn't realize this until it was too late.

Actually I've been playing the game a lot, so what's your scum lean based off of?
when I say "posting but not playing" I mean you and luna are making a lot of posts but hardly working toward solving the game.
OK, but if there is one thing that I learned from my first 2 games, it is that it is pretty nontrivial to "work towards solving the game" on Day 1. I think the first thing that is useful that one can do is get some activity out there day 1, and get your tone established so that you can be more easily read as town by the town moving forwards. I think this is one of the things that I actually did properly as town in the Onegu Best Host Game.
Town should be trying to solve the game, but some of the players haven't even posted yet, for example it is 10am local time for me and I just woke-up 30 mins ago and am trying to get caught up.
I don't scumlean either of those guys yet, tbh.
At the same time, I kind of like this post by Tumble because it is the kind of thing that can help to start more meaningful discussion going and discourage people from posting random banter, otherwise they might get scum-read by this reasoning.
I am going to slightly town-lean Tumble because his post leads to a slightly more favorable environment for town.

In the same vein though, if we all start thinking about everything that we post will be scum read if it's a bit conversation-y then we are all now thinking like we are mafia (trust me on that one). I don't think that's a good place to go.
