Let's keep the pace of the game up too, none of that long post bullshit unless you need to address a lot of points. Short and to the point high in content. Fast-paced posting makes it hard for scum to clearly think through what is going on and it makes it easier to find lurkers. And yes, lynch lurkers.

I mean, he's sorta right. I think the last couple games have been bogged down by people posting novels and everyone assuming longer posts equaled more accurate content. There's nothing wrong with a long post if it's warranted, but people need to realize short and concise posts can be just as useful.

from my last 2 games where I was scum, this is just fact, at least for me... as soon as someone stepped in and the pace increased (and thus smaller posts) it became harder for me and my teammates to make clear posts and increased the chances of slips... it does increase the likelihood for mafia to lurk, which is what my teammates ended up doing because they couldn't keep up with the pace

look at all the non-newb games they are mostly quick fire posts with occasional long posts, this is clearly the better way to play IMO. regardles, waste of time to talk about we should just do it.. gogo

I disagree with that cakeman... but i'm making assumptions based on what I know of Storrzerg.. he tends to just randomly put suspicion on people.

Storrzerg, what made you say that? What's your experience with forum mafia?

@jonnylaw, no I was directly speaking about length of posts... I strongly believe that long posts make it easy for mafia to hide in because they inherently keep the pace of the game down while everybody spends 20-30m writing out their posts. sure if the pace of the game can be kept up while people are writing lengthy posts (4-5 paragraphs, analyzing each player etc etc with bunch of quote blocks etc) then that's fine. not only that, but it's helpful for people who don't have that much time (like you last game) for the standard to be short concise posts.

@Storr, so what made you say what you did about my post? Was it the length thing which other people are voicing their opinions about as well or something else? Do you disagree with it? If so, why?

@vanesco seems like really sloppy mafia play to try to redirect off your teammate so early in the game... Do you really believe there was pressure enough on me that would warrant that? All he said was idk abt this post...

cakeman being scum and trying to cast suspicion on storr for a low content accusatory post seems like a much more feasible scum play to me...

as far as storr, nah there's nothing there... all he was doing was randomly putting suspicion on someone to start some discussion, see how people react, see who calls him out etc. he's just trying to feel people out..

The deflecting that cake does onto OWB is what makes me think he's scummy. Deflection so early into the game is just odd. Seems like hes overreacting to light pressure from Vanesco.

I know for a fact that E00 and nyxnyxnyx and odinofpergo are not awake right now, odin will be very active in a few hours if my memory serves me correctly. Other two are fairly inactive players.

I don't like Storr's play either but it's a style that I see fairly often. I understand the reasoning behind it though. We'll have to get used to it. He's a very spontaneous player who thrives on reactions.

My point is there is no followup on my post. He just said it to stir shit up. That's my read, because otherwise he would have said something about it by now (since he posted twice afterwards).

well i said what i meant
i did not know what to think of it. I don't usually have people posting about how to play the game in this context, and probably why it was said was based on previous experience with the newby games. I can agree with things that are said (post content, "fast paced" lynch lurkers) I find it odd that you have to put the game in a very defined manner though. at least it feels to me you want the game to be played out like this, with no exceptions.

i do want the game to be played out like that... is that a bad thing?
