actually I thinly it's bad because people are sleeping during Lynch deadline, which is a big help for mafia because town can't change their minds at the last second .

it seems like it would be really depressing and lonely to get serial killer

I am so fucking sick of lurkers from last game.
#1 They make the game shittier regardless of if they are scum.
#2 They are 100% null reads all game long. You ask them a question and of course they aren't going to responsd because they post like 1 thing a day and dont even read the thread.
#3 It gives scum safe people to accuse.
Most of the time they aren't mafia but in the 2 games I played both of them had semi-lurker mafia.

Lurker Policy: LYNCH ALL LURKERS, semilurkers at the top of the lynch list if we don't have a very strong scumread to bandwagon.

Yeah I agree, there's not much else to add other than that lurkers are assholes and they are going to lurk whether there is strong support of a lurker lynch policy or not... especially in these newbie games.

So on to more important matters, here's an idea:

last person in the thread gets lynched

discuss?

Terrible idea? Since we prob have liek 3 different time zones.
Biggest lurker gets lynched is a better plan but still not that great.
A lot of noobs are pretty lost about what to do day 1.

Here are my suggestions for discussion topics:
1 discuss lurker policy. I know you are bored with it or whatever, thrawn, but for peopel to say how they feel about lurkers and if they want to lynch them or let them lurk (both are viable strategies imo) gives us a baseline for FOSing people that go back on their lurker policy.
Like what if a scum says lynch all lurkers, then one of the scumbuddies turns out to be the biggest lurker. That puts him in a bad position that he could avoid without lurker policy discussion.

2 I think we should discuss a plan for how to spend time.
Here is my proposed plan: Freely making cases against anyone you think is scum in the first 24 hours of the day, then focusing on a couple of the biggest bandwagons in the second 24 hours.
Do you like this plan or do you have a better one? I would a more systematic scumhunt this game though.

3 Give an introduction of yourself. How experienced are you? Are you a total noob or have you obsed some games?
Very important IMO is will you be around for lynch time? That's 9 pm normal time btw if you are new. How active do you plan on being. Honestly I think once a day is okay IF your posts are good.

An intro for myself is coming.

Sup guys I am kushmasta IRL name jake. I live in maine and go to college for chemical engineering. (think all that random shit you learned in chemistry applied to real world situations).

No fluff zone:
posting habits
I probably will post a lot because I have no life. I work but my work is basically a study hall so I will be posting on my phone at work. That is why sometimes my spelling and formatting will be ass.

experience

I have 2 games played and I have won both games and never killed. So far I am unkilled and undefeated and I want to continue my streak so I will be tryharding this game, but not tryharding enough so I'm the best town and mafia kills me. Call it selfish but I dont want to die...
@thrawn I know you have 3 games undefeated but you got killed by scum therefore you aren't as cool as me.

I am looking to step up my play this game. Last game was quite humbling for me. I made a lot of bad calls, and d1 caused a mislynch >< IM SORRY CUBU
So I'm going to try to be more careful and have better analysis this game.

Lynch time
I will be around on my phone at least.
I think deciding on a lynch at the last minute is a really powerful tool for town beacuse it makes scum panic and do stupid things. However that's really not possible with this mess of time zones we got going on here.

Also, wtf kush. "Honestly I think once a day is okay IF your posts are good" after you talk about how much you hate lurkers?

If you write 1 post a day but it's a brilliant epic post then that's cool with me. I can be realistic about people's busy schedules. And that is WAY better than a few little posts with no content. .. and I'm looking at you STUTTERS, DRAZAK, and ESPECIALLY CUBU who were all town last game but pretty trash town.

I'll write you an intro. Hey everyone this is kush. Judging off his username I suspcet he is a fellow lover of the ganja, which probably explains a lot of his posts. He says whatever comes to mind, and in the games I played with him he said a lot of very scummy sounding things as a townie. So basically expect to be confused. He likes going for crazy ballsy plays which often is the reason why I always thought he was town, as scum would have to be crazy to do those things.

And I like to attention whore esp day 1.
and If you accuse me of being scum I will omgus and start a flame war with you just because im really sensitive and hate being called scum. drazak knows what I'm talking about.

Im trying to play better this game though so f u thrawn.

Lurkers are a minor annoyance sure, but I think just lynching based on lurker status could end up hurting us more so as the game progresses.

Lets focus on getting a mafia lynch for the first day.

remedy getting a good scum read d1 is impossible. It's the easiest thing ever for scum to look like town day 1.
Unless we have no lurkers, we should lynch the biggest lurker or the scumiest semilurker but please not someone active.

@remedy dude why would you FOS me in a spoiler? lol
Ok so let me explain that statement. I'm saying lurkers are automatic 100% null reads. They could be town they could be scum. The problem with leaving lurkers to fester day after day is that it gives scum someone safe to FOS and say they want to lynch. The problem is not in actually killing the lurkers, which is what I want to do, but leaving them for half of the town to be mad at and waste discussion on day after day.

Which leads me to my next point: I agree with thrawn that lurker lynch candidates should NOT be discussed until later in the day when we are deciding who gets the lynch. I think that is a policy all town should agree on. Lurkers by their very nature make no or very little content to discuss.

He did give a reasonable response to my post... but kush I'd like to ask you, how would you feel about specifically me only posting once per cycle?

I'm always terrified of thrawn scum because, as I said before, I think it would be really hard to see through your meta. But having said that, I know that you have limited time, because you have been talking about it for quite a while and way before this game even started. So I would understand you posting once a day, I woudl not think it was scummy.
I'm still watching you extra close though...
every move you make
every vow you break
every smile you fake
every claim you stake
ill be watching you.

afk im going to bed.

@stutters I want to improve my play because last game I sucked quite hard. anyone can attest to that lol. I also don't want to be the best town because getting nk sucks imo. I like being around for the end of the game. I'm just being honest. but thanks for accusing me because it makes it less likely that ill be nk, since scum usually kill the towniest person.

what I said about flame wars.. that is what I did in the last two previous games. for instance drazak accused me really hard and I basically just called him a bad player again and again. I am trying to avoid that this game though.

I really hate waking up to people fosing me...feels bad

[b]In regards to thrawn's attack on sonic for his survey:
@Sonic: Yeah that was based on mine, but I dont think to make a list and say "answer these or you're scum" is very productive. What I put up was just some suggestions for newer players to have something to talk about. I notice newbies never really know what to say d1.

@Thrawn: I don't think sonic's survey is particularly scummy. He did the same thing last game. He was scum last game, sure, but I think it's just his MO for day one, scum or town.
Also here is why I think sonic is town. I'm putting my reasoning in spoilers because admittedly it's pretty dumb:
[spoiler]He was scum for the last 2 games. Do you really think marv would make him scum 3rd game in a row? It's possible but just feels unlikely to me.[/spoiler]
