I have only played with a few of you, but from the games I have read we will do well if we can maintain a good atmosphere, as we have right now. Because we also don't know how many or what type of roles exist, we need to focus on logic and behavioral analysis, rather than hope for power roles to carry us. I think we should process forward assuming no blues exist. This guy's scum | ||

Read it from a town perspective. We all know that already. It's all fluffy puffy feel good bullshit that scum love to post at the beginning of a game. Did you guys know diphallia is a common disorder amongst the sub order Eunectes of constrictors? | ||

The Day post gives us the name of the Scum boss. It also gives us the "Elements of Harmony" I have never watched this show so I don't know what those things are but I am going to assume they are items. Please enlighten me as to what these elements are. And how many there are. Chaos13 - I'm quite sure Forumite did not understand the basis of you calling me scum. Actually I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the game that understood it for what it was. A couple of games ago I informed Chaos that every game he does not call me scum on day 1 is due to him being scum. It was a truism that I'm sure he looked back on and realized I was right. I should have never told him that and let him languish in his inability to avoid a day 1 lynch when he's scum.  But that was the reasoning behind his calling me scum. It's all WIFOM now. But it did make me laugh a bit. I will occasionally break into song or go off on a tangent. I'm only here to keep you all happy. And wtf is a rock farm? | ||

Every lurker discussion I have ever seen has been fruitless and inevitably pointless. Lurkers never get lynched. Everybody claims they want to but nobody ever does. By day 3 or 4 it is to late to get rid of them. Scum love them. They're like a weed bed they can hide in. I would be all for lynching a lurker day 1 and having a vig shoot another night 1. But the reality is it isn't going to happen. | ||

Rinse and repeat. Drone All Day doesn't bother me. He's a noob. This game can be intimidating the first couple times you play it. I'm willing to give him a chance to speak up. I'm willing to let him float a day or two until he gets an idea of how things go. Original Name on the other hand needs to die if he doesn't show up. | ||

And then in 3 days when all the active players are dead we get to listen to you cry, whine and complain about a game full of lurkers. But it's all good man. I plan on being dead by then anyways. | ||

On September 14 2011 03:54 wherebugsgo wrote: yeah no shit, this genius already managed that one: This is very true. Listen to the voice of reason, AKA greymist: Lurking is a null tell, IMO. If we pursue null tells vigorously through policy lynches of lurkers we're gonna get screwed hard when those lurkers pop town. This is exactly what has ruined some games for us that I've played in. Correct lynches rely on townies establishing themselves as town early on (as in Resurrection) and then pursuing behavioral clues in order to find mafia. We HAVE to lynch mafia based on contradictions and behavior. If behavior lines up with activity and voting patterns, great! If not, then we can't use activity or a lack thereof as a reason to lynch someone. It's just not reliable. wtf is this If active players are making sense then town needs to listen to them, medics need to prot them, etc. etc. If active players are contradicting themselves and being wishy washy then we need to lynch them. Killing lurkers is the job of the vigilantes; they can more clearly determine who is scummy out of a pool of lurkers without having to deal with the shitfest of information that is influenced by both mafia and dumb townies. If we lynch lurkers then we are susceptible to be influenced heavily by scum, and that is EXACTLY what we do not want. Dreamflower are you an oldtimer? nice to meet/play with you.ON's mafia play is really easy to spot, IMO. By his vote post alone I knew he was scum in Resurrection. Until that point, like we see now, he was just another lurker. Finally, I have to disagree about this: We gain next to nothing by lynching a lurker, unless of course that lurker happens to be mafia. Lurkers, by definition, haven't contributed anything. Thus, except in exceptional circumstances, we can't really link them to anyone else, and we can't even be sure about their flip until they die. It's just an unreliable scumhunting method IMO. With your last sentence you can easily replace "townie" with "lurker". What happens when the townie is also a lurker? Then, what's up with you concluding that neither approach can give us much useful information? If you think neither method is good, then wtf do we do? Do we go after behavioral clues, which are easiest to spot among active players, or do we lynch lurkers? I'm not understanding your conclusion, you don't really suggest what we should do. It's exactly what I said. I have no problem with lynching a lurker. I have no problem with a vig shooting a lurker. I have no problem with brooming them on day1/night1/day2. But I also know it isn't going to happen. I'm not advocating the lynch of a lurker over the lynch of an individual that plays scum in such a horrid manner that it's painfully obvious during day 1 he's scum. That rarely happens though. What does happen is some townie makes a stupid case on somebody, scum jumps on board and there ya go we lynched a townie. So ya I'd prefer lynching somebody with one post and nothing else. Because he's gonna get us killed on day 3. | ||

9.) OriginalName 11.) sinani206 If and only if we don't have a more active, scummy target? I don't see a problem with that. If you do please explain it to me. I'm not being a smart ass but I honestly see no problem with one of them if no other viable candidate arises. And as I said before I'm willing to give the noob some latitude. ON and sinani have no excuse for lurking. | ||
