Considering you are a new comer, what is your experience with this game? Is this your first time, how did you get into it etc.. I've played mafia before, but it's just the vanilla irl version, not with these roles.

My top priorities are
- to start the game at a very high pace, to make sure that lurking is not only discouraged but also easy to spot and call out. - immediately start some conversation by having some arguments (this is where its a bit tricky), we need people to fos right away when they feel off about somebody so that we can start reading each other.
Sounds like overeager towncred grabbing scum play to me.
##Vote: Balla24

I agree with lurking to be discouraged by just lynching them for the most part. If they are scum then that's an easy kill, if they are town they provide nothing helpful and might cause some confusion in finding actual scum.

So like, have you played a lot or have you watched/read any games before this?

Don't get me wrong, Balla plays a scary mafia because he looks town almost the entire game, but in the game he was town he was very active and led the town by making lots and lots of posts. So his MO is always being active regardless of alignment.

I appreciate the defense but... he's IC he can do whatever he wants including mess around... Instead of trying to pocket me let's hear how you're gonna help me achieve my goals of catching scum

@Asuna how do you feel about TheChyz's entry post?
|
Why so eager to have people help you achieve your goals? Maybe they don't agree with them. If onlywonderboy is right, then your rules help you if you are scum as well since you seem to be very active in which lynching lurkers would help your cause of staying alive. Also having people fight can cause confusion in the town. So I don't see a reason why people should just help you achieve your goals.

I don't feel like the IC should just have free reign to mess around. We know he's not scum but I still felt the need to say why his read may be off. I know you're all about hunting scum, but there's value in not sparking early suspicion on people who may be town.
My main goal this game is to be more active and contribute meaningful analysis to the town. This may seem basic, but I've failed at it the last couple games so I'm hoping to actually follow through with it this time.

You must of misunderstood me... "my goals of catching scum" not specifically my OWN priorities. I'm fine with others having their own priorities, but overall this game is about catching scum.
Another point, i'm not active in lynching lurkers, that's not what he said and its not what I said. My goal is to create an environment where it's HARD to survive as a lurker, that is, a very active game where the lurker #s are down very very low and are easy to single out. If it comes to the point where i have to lynch a lurker because there's no better lynch I will but that is not my priority.

I was mid drafting a post very similar to your second paragraph but the NFL playoffs can be distracting.
Anti lurking environment is great, randomly policy lynching lurkers is not.
However a policy debate is also highly distracting. So lets get past that and concentrate on finding dem sucummers.
Ps. I never mess around!

I'm just trying to gauge how people play... it's certainly pretty generic and you can't read to deep into it. But some people would analyze it very hard.
For example: He seems to be agreeing with something that nobody said, which hints that he wasn't carefully reading ("I agree with lurking to be discouraged by just lynching them for the most part")

Hi "nobody", I'm TheChyz.

"By just lynching them" that's the important part.

You don't see a reason why people should help Bella with creating a "tough environment for mafia to hide in and lynch some mafia" ?

offtopic

I find analyzing people's opinions on policy and trying to find scum based on that more productive than just lynching lurkers.
