Subtle lurker call-out. While it's true that RF and Vector haven't been around, this is a really sneaky way of calling them out of it. You may have been crucified for it but it'd of been more honest to just say "we should investigate lurkers".

I get what QPQ is saying about b-minus BUT they were pretty awkwardly executable last game too so... I don't know. I don't like them calling out the lurkers in such a fashion though.

I really wasn't trying to be that subtle. I went to the op, looked at the user list, and picked two players with only a few posts. I supposed I should have explicitly said "investigate lurkers, here two my two choices"

- Defense counsel took a long time formulating a response to some basic accusations. Maybe if he'd stop driving around the courtroom doing a handstand on his dirt bike we'd get more done, your honor. Also, what alternative to his client's guilt has the defense presented to the court? I have seen little to no attempt at clearing his clients name with his own investigations. Is this because he knows of her guilt?

- The defendant has yet to say or do anything to persuade me from my attack course. Why should we believe she is not guilty?

Let the man live, drat.

The structure of the game demands the maximization of available resources which means I ought be presumed not guilty for now, while we all leverage the abilities of the judge and hypothetical others on night one. Vote to investigate, not incinerate. Who to investigate is as always a crap shoot but having the option means we should use it. Nonkilling capabilities will wane in influence as the game proceeds.

Why do you want to investigate lurkers and not people with actual content to compare it with?

TLDR
B-minus: Post non-lurker reads because you're looking worse.

T Moritz I'm more cautious as scum as I feel beholden to my team mates. As town I'm free as a bird to say whatever I want.

pera I don't mind length, I find it hard you have nothing to add even at this point.

People not paying attention to the game would've seen two players and not what they represent. I respect that you're consistently anti-lurker but as RF points out it's a strange stance to take especially as things are just getting started. Besides lurkers who's been bothering you?

Tired Moritz posted:

I try to find scum. I'm pretty bad at it. I don't think I'm funny so I don't try to poo poo-post and I find it hard to play with players that do. I'm fairly mealy-mouthed, self-deprecating, and equivocating when I write, since, as a rule, I find it hard to take a firm stance on things in life. I speak my mind more often and more sincerely when town as I have nothing to lose. I'm far more cautious as scum since I feel bad letting down the rest of team, as I feel beholden to them to do a good job.

or maybe that's not what you wanted?

peramene posted:

Generating content just to have content isn't valuable, detracts from more meaningful content coming from others, and necessarily draws negative attention towards myself. I say things when there are things to say.

Almost every game I've seen recently had multiple people complaining about post counts, word counts, or "lots of words that don't mean anything". I'm not going to willfully contribute to those and especially not on day one, the dumbest day.

Do as you like but you'll never see me complain about posting or post length. If it really is that unbearable I just won't read it, but then that's on me and not you.

I just find it strange you don't have anything to say. Not only are you the center of the show, but you know, things are happening.

Honestly? What's bothering me is I can't get a legitimate read on anyone. I have been pushing for an investigation of lurkers to try to get people to post more. I’ve read the last couple of pages a few times now, and nothing is really pinging me as scum. Or rather, I can't distinguish between jokepost and scum post. Overall, you have done the best job at summarizing the activity of the players in this game.

The only thing I can say with certainty is that I am against lynching peramene on the first day of this format I have never played before. An investigation seems like a much better option. You can disagree with me regarding the target of the investigation (and to be fair, almost everyone does). Call this a cop out answer if you’d like, but these are my thoughts on this very strange day 1.

Is it really that strange though? We're getting dragged out joke phase, kicking and screaming, as always, but I think it's pretty safe to take most things at face value. I am at least in regards to Mord.

That said take a second and think why wasting an investigation on a lurker is wasteful. If they continue lurking, even as confirmed town, we can't reliably count on their vote or presence. If a doc decides to protect one we run the risk of losing more active players, and as I mentioned before player apathy is dangerous for town. Lurkers are players we have disregard for now and we need to focus on the players who are here, especially if their presence can be more beneficial, which an investigation could prove. Were Pmom thinking of just killing whoever we voted, which he isn't, then I'd say more logic to your argument because, hey, they're just lurkers. But that's not really the case.
