So I posit that there's something that let the scum know that the post count stuff was more than "hey you jerks, post something". You having a reactionary vote on me because you're the one I recalled having an unusually high post count is terrible and you should feel bad.

How much more clear does the mod have to be?

There is one small matter of unfortunate business to attend to: attendance. Several of you have already noted the absences of many of your peers, as have the members of the faculty. In accordance with school rules, all students who have not contributed a total of 30 game posts by the conclusion of our third school day will be expelled.

oh and if people didn't just notice that, JJ sure was helpful in drawing attention to it by going on about how he had to post more to not die. Many other people also explicitly called out how raising the count wound encourage spam and be not good, and how people like Li Dawny shouldn't be dunked cause they'd just be dead from postcount soon anyway.

I read the post count thing as an anti lurker mechanic, but after the events at the last school it appears it's an actual game mechanic. That's a huge difference in the way people would treat posting. All the low posters who are gone either through the night kills or the mod mechanic have been town.

yeah youre right, I dont understand it. how is "an anti lurker mechanic" different from "an actual game mechanic" anyway

One is a mod saying, hey jerks, post. The other is a "players in the game can effect this mechanic (50 raising the limit)". So my concern is that there's a "you get some sort of benefit for high post counts that the town isn't aware of" or something along those lines.

Ka-peesh?

ok well forgive me for presuming you were most concerned with the mass of townie death, as opposed to some nebulous "some sort of benefit for high post counts"

like I dont know about you, but "if you dont post 30 times, I as the mod will unstoppably murder you" is a pretty important game mechanic, and not being murdered in said fashion is a pretty nice benefit imo

I dont think you see what I'm getting at either. Which is, your point is super weird because I was right to call you out for posting some extra meaningless setup spec, so now you're getting overdefensive to argue about how your point was actually important, and that's why it makes no sense when you're getting into these tortured wordings like contrasting "lurker mechanic" against "actual game mechanic"

Right, so if 50 is scum, as president, would he have raised the cut off to just below one of his scum buddies? take out like 3 or 4 town at once? Cause that sounds like a pretty good deal for scum to use.

I see the point dead cow is making and Bif is being dense. I usually hate setup speculation but speculation in this game could be worth it as there was a clear pattern at the beginning of the game. Not sure if that pattern will continue though?

yeah, with the FSN reminder too about how naturally full of tall tales he is, I'm cooling on him a little. Still think its pretty rude though to try and blast that vig first thing before he even understood the changes in his own PM. For all we know this brand new shiny thread could've changed up alignments as well as abilities.

oh come on, even Li Dawny down near the bottom was sitting around 19 iirc, and only needed 11 moreover the course of the entire D3. I've done that just talking to you before I even had breakfast. if people literally cant be arsed to post a few quick reaction posts or chitchat to NOT DIE I dont know what to tell ya
