Nature Abhors A Vacuum


Real talk, with 3.5 days gone and the vast majority of the game at 5 or less posts (1, at least, would have been prior to game start), you can say the majority of this game is lurking. There's one person with double digit posts and a only a second that is ahead of mod in post count. Holiday weekend and all so you can give or not give as much leeway with that as you want, but we've all contributed to how slow this game has been.

I'd be fine with voting out lurkers tbh. It's been a very uneventful d1 and people who come in and say 'just kidding guys I'm just SO busy' aren't gonna cut it IMO.

Please give it time, I'm out of town visiting family. I'll be back home this afternoon, but it's just been a busy extended weekend, at least for me.

I'm around today - I read the thread yesterday and there's no content yet - like all of it was jokes and nothing felt scummy, forced, or edited so I just kinda left the tab. Sadly with 3.5 days played so much of that was holidays and as I was just discussing with a friend a single holiday tends to tank productivity on either side of it, not that work trends should have bearing on a game like this.

@BK: Of all the players in this game do any have a known meta for lurking as scum day one?

@GG Same question BK posed: are you asking to be ignored until day 2 or will you be back sometime before the deadline this evening?

@Epsilon Which of those two would be more likely lurking scum? If that question isn't helpful which player will be less likely to post a storm on day 2?

@Everyone What questions would you have for me?

I don't make meta arguments, but do I think it's likely that there are scum lurkers in this very game? Yes! But if we're able to create some damned content in this game today then I hopefully won't be voting for a lurker!

I'm okay with a lurker lynch. Otherwise we're basically just stabbing randomly anyways.

Back with Internet now. I would normally be a proponent of a lurker lynch but holiday weekends make lurking much more likely and I don't know which lurker to pick. Yes I and AN have less posts than others but with a large number in single digit post count the distinction is really moot.

Not really - I think I picked on Amni last game I was in with him so I went the other way - if AN starts posting I'll move to Amni to get him to post.

I'd love to see content instead - lynching a lurker puts day 2 into the same sad state as day 1 - but if we are going to lose someone at least removing a player who isn't' posting is preferable to losing someone generating content.

Not really no, lurkers may be an easy case at times but I've clearly said I'm voting to prod lurkers - I'd prefer we get an actual case going to day but with the timeframe given I'm not sure if we'll make that. Lynch me if you must - at least you'll get some intel for day 2 :v:

I mean if you want to see it that way that's your business, that was legit a defense of you based on the fact that in pretty much every game I've played with you I've had to scratch my head over a weird subjective logic that you use to come to your decisions.

Irrationality is not a criticism; I'm irrational as hell, it's just strange to me that you try to couch it in this weird roundabout logic sometimes and it's basically made your irrationality/lack of logic a null tell where before I was reading you as scum every game and couldn't figure out why.

I'm not calling you stupid or awful, just making an observation. I'd rather have an irrational person who makes a lot of cases (as you do) on my side in a game than a lurker or a shitposter.

There's clearly nothing going on because of the holiday, and there are so many questionable lurker callout posts, but this is way worse. Why are you so concerned about people waiting for you? Did anyone even mention your name up until that point?

It's disguised as "well, people have been busy, look at how i've been busy!" when really it's "i'm coming hold on don't cuddle me." All you needed to say was "It's a holiday, calm down." Why all the other "please don't cuddle me" crap?

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
I'm here, and will be here for the rest of today.

Unfortunately, I don't really have much to add. Very little has gone on so far, and nothing really stands out to me.

I kind of agree with P Mush is saying here about the lurker lynch but given his "joke" post which breadcrumbs arsonist, I viewed it under a lens of pseudo-suspicion. 3P would have most to gain from a rando lynch. I don't know if his joke post warrants legitimate suspicion though. Same as anyone else I've called out.
