Hey doesn't a vote stealer have to use the vote stolen or is that only doublevoter?

Also the distant possibility that Busb started the game as a tree stump and is trying to mislead but I'm not sure if the game is that creative.

I don't like it, either. A lurker hang is better than a no-hang, but it doesn't tell us anything, and we have three lurkers -- why EXAKT out of the three?

I would vote out any lurker at any point and that has always been my stance. D1 vote like this one are always just a gamble, so it might as well be someone who most likely isn't going to be posting in the future.

This D1 has been very quiet, so none of the votes are really going to tell us anything.

I don't have a vote down -- right now I'm feeling ##vote SSV for that "what? You'd vote me for having a dead phone?" line, on top of the rest of the awkwardness.

I'm on my phone so I can't reasonably type much to add. As my vote is my weapon however, I will say that I want to avoid day 2 being a repeat scenario.

I don't really know 85% of these players so this day 1 is much more of a blur for me than usual.

reads as just a bad post to me, not super scummy.

i'd honestly be down for lynching a lurker, but nothing today has really stood out to me.

busb are you voting anidav to put pressure on him (her?) to actually give content, or because you think s/he's scum?

I don't mean that antagonistically: I'm legit asking, because I think that one post of his (/hers) was awful. Phone typing does not preclude opinions.

That isn't what you said, though. You said "you'd vote me for having a dead phone?" like it was some doe-eyed You Are Mean deal, not "I get the timing sucks, but it's stupid to think I faked that, guys, my phone legit died." That's what's disingenuous.

busb feels townish, but it would depend pretty heavily on what turned up in a hypothetical andidav lynch. anidav always reads as scummy to me. no opinion on SSV

okay the case i'm making is that generating content right now is hard because it's basically a 5 hour day and there's nothing to go by. Town or scum can both make awkward attempts to create content, which is why i'm not bothered about SSV's bad posting to me, but players that are happy to be one of many just skirting the game and sitting back are scummy as there is nothing directly to post about and they don't want to get attention by fumbling to create content if they're not confident scum players.

hence i think killing off someone that is posting they are around but then posts they have nothing to say is a decent day1 plan.

What's there to read? There's no rabbit in the hat here. We have a conga line of lurkers, a stolen car and a vote stealer(?). Any vote we make is equally as useful as the previous. However having vocal people survive for day 2 is more useful as you can actually compare posts from previous days. A day 1 lurker is empty space and the less empty space there is the more likely we can paint scum into a corner.

"Excuse" is the key word I'm seeing in that sentence, that he disbelieves you legitimately have no phone charge, and is assuming you're hiding out to wait for this to blow over. Willing to ##unvote for now.

This is actually why I'm not against lynching lurkers on D1. Sure, it may make D2 (and possibly the rest of the game) slightly harder, but at the same time it does make it harder for scum to lurk through D1.

So you know what, I'm going back to the lurker.

It's way different. Scum don't want to be noticed, so they won't outright lurk, but they'll hang back and be noncommittal so they can't be tied to opinions they might need to reverse, depending on how the wind blows.

Someone appearing to participate but saying nothing of use is way scummier than someone not posting at all.

Everyone move to Exakt. Lurking has become a huge problem in games lately and the way to deal with it is unfortunately to make current games harder by making a statement and lynching lurkers early in the game.
