Just came back, hope everyone had a nice holiday.
Anyway, I was reading through the thread and was relieved to see that someone agreed with me in going after the inactives.
Lurking from a weak player is also a scummy sign because it means they are afraid to make posts. If this is because they are afraid to look mafia, or give mafia tells away its not going to help us late game, and thats what i'm looking for. I'm looking at a way to win the game, not to have a bunch of weak players hanging at the end of day 4-5. If the town is to win this we need to keep smart players in, and at this point his lynch is a double-edged sword.
On that note, i feel we need to prod the inactives who have done nothing in this game, and tell them to get active: The people i have written down looking at it offhand include the likes of Mic, OWM, Yeroc, Xsyven (though he is starting to post more thats good), Gamefreak (also an extremely suspicious player more on that another time) and if i counted posts there are a few others but those are the ones i have written down.
I'd also like to tattletale on frozenflame, who is a very dangerous late-game player, more so than the ones you've named.
Then I read...
Why is there such a rush to end day one?
Lets take our time and hit a mafia; rather have useless town sitting around in the end than mafia.
Then, I wanted to say something like, "smashbot has just a good of chance of being mafia as a townie, so let's just go through with it", but <3 would have surely responded with something like, "So do you", so I'm at a loss right now.
This is not a, "hey, I
might put out something productive after this, so stay tuned" kind of post, because I'm not sure if I
will have anything to post after this, so I gave out my first impressions just in case.
I don't think that's true, I mean Eor could've ran out of ideas for abilities and not give some characters any abilities at all.
Smashman, I think that was <3's way of telling Wikipedia to get off it, seeing as he's drawn much more attention to something that most people probably would've missed, or simply wouldn't have even cared about.
Also, smashman, is your location from the yugioh abridged series? I remember watching some of the series (what seems) a while ago.
yeah... thats almost it exactly. Don't feel like anyone actually wants to play. No one looks for anything unless it is right in front of them.
It's more like people like to be discreet about certain things.
If no one is reading what is the point in writing? If no one will answer questions why ask them? Lol.
Everyone is reading. As for your second question, it seems like you want everyone to answer every single question that you have, or you'll just complain about how we don't do so, despite there being other things we are discussing at the time. Plus, if everyone answered your questions, it's likely that people would stop focusing on the discussion at hand and try to eliminate anyone who would dare question their motives.
It is just disappointing to see such big lack of interest in such a good game...
There have been times in this game where I've looked around and wondered, 'did anyone else see that?' too, such as KevinM's quoted post and Wikipedia's heart attack over Gamefreak's "confession". So no, I wouldn't worry about being the only person who reads.
Anyway, I'm all for goading the inactives, but I doubt that a consensus will be reached, as <3's and Mediocre's doubts aren't such that can be disproved on day 1.
So either we do the above mentioned, lynch one of the "suspicious" players(though I doubt anyone will want to touch egruntz after his most recent claim, which I'm glad for because that topic was getting redundant), or continue to talk around in circles.
) and lynch 'em. Tis the season, amirite?
