Hey Tofu, yes we should wait, and I'm sure we'll get better clues than complete inactivity, but it has to be an option. I hope you aren't mafia again This sounds like something a mafia would say. | ||

Lynching lurkers in the early game not a good idea. My reasoning is that people need to be able to post before we persecute them. Something to think about lurkers, Mafia will try to lurk, but their posts will have more intent behind each one. Why? Every post they make is going to push its own idea of an agenda, but the more they post the more the idea could be misinterpreted. Before we lynch a lurker let's look at the intent of the post: a Mafia agenda push or a helpful Townie post. | ||

Well, might as well get started first game :3 I'm questioning why do you speak about town in third person as if you are speaking as if town isnt including yourself, so im asking why are you not using "we" and refering to town as a "they." Also you are justifying killing town just because they arent active, a vote helps even if they are a lurker, its another person who can still vote and help kill off all of the mafia. | ||

If they are lurking scum players, town gets a nice snipe. Should they be town, they would be just as bad as scum in that they wouldn't help town anyways. Seems like the first couple of hours will be spent waiting on the rest of the players to get here. Yay for idle chatter. Not true, lynching an inactive is a waste. Scum wants us to not lynch them. We can call lurkers out, and they have to respond. They don't respond, we start looking at them. Lynching, because they are lurkers is stupid. | ||

Just for your information, im not a native english speaker, so if im not clear when i post let me know. I do think lynching lurkers is a "good" strategy just not on day 1, i think we should wait so everyone can post and "talk" a little bit. On May 10 2012 08:36 FirmTofu wrote: Hi again dahdum!

What are you implying here? We should wait for everyone to post before coming to conclusions? That seems scummy to me, we should be analyzing peoples posts right now. You just created a reason for you not to post. Convince your not scum. ##Vote: Firm Tofu | ||

This post strikes me as a somewhat suspicious one. The previous posts dealt with lynching lurkers and as a response you make a post, stating that you are not lurking, but nothing else. This seems weird to me as nobody pressured precisely you. They were just stating a general idea to get by and you just ignored the issue of lynching lurkers in your post. Maybe you just lacked time, it is just day1 anyway, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on you. | ||

I agree to pressure the lurkers, but its only the first few hours of the game. What are everyone's thoughts on the aggressiveness so far? Note: BroodKingEXE, dahdum , Darkfirex5 , Unforgiven_ve, ShiaoPi already having "suspicions" | ||

Though, I fail to see the difference in saying don't lynch inactives. If we call out lurkers and they don't respond, are they not by definition inactives? Either way, making lurkers either provide help to the town or getting rid of inactives helps out the town, as I said in my first post. | ||

You misunderstand! I believe that some players have confused being "active" with "aggressive." Give players time to post their defense, the game just started after five days of signups. How would it feel to wake up to some shit storm with your name on it? I'm going to withhold my vote until later when everyone has a chance to post | ||

Let's hear more from you Firm. ##Vote FirmTofu While I agree that the back half of his post is worthy of discussion, I would hope that simply saying that him hoping you aren't mafia is worthy of a lynch. Maybe it's just me, but that simply sounds as if he remembers you from a previous game, and perhaps you did well as mafia then. I feel like the mafia/town alignment of a previous game shouldn't be a factor in deciding whom to lynch in THIS game. Posting style, however, can and most likely should be used. A lot of people are shooting off votes 4ish hours into the day, and while it's majority vote at the end of the day, I think there are better ways of getting people to speak up without throwing around votes on a whim. Let's see what Firm has to say. | ||

Let's see what Firm has to say. Actually, throwing around votes is an excellent way of getting people to speak up. You're defending him right now, he'll respond, and we can interpret later if/when he flips what that says about you. We were in the last game together so I also have a better sense of his style than I do of the rest of you. | ||

btw people realize than lynching lurkers and inactive r different and at the start is not always benefitual to town. Every town lynch is a day wasted and a vote less in a majority vote game. | ||

Not sure what about my post was defending him. Fair enough point about his style. Though I did mention that as well. Again, I want to hear from him before immediately calling Lynch. I haven't cast my vote yet either. | ||
