Thats not a very good idea on first day, in a game that has 20 "plus" (can't use the symbol anymore on VGC) players.


Actually no.   It's a good idea to get rid of the them early on. because later on in the game when you are looking for scum. If you have someone that posts the bare amount of course you are going to have the least amount of info on them. Making it difficult to get an accurate read on them...

Maybe they just find it hard to contribute anything because everyone has said everything. I know that's happened to me in the past. Lurkers also mostly seem like townsfolk that feel they aren't importaint so they don't contribute as much....

From what I've observed, there's a good chance of someone that lurks or who makes mostly off-topic posts being scum. I'm all for lynching someone who doesn't post after this day has gone on long enough.

Maybe all the people who quote four-deep should be lynched. No, not really. It's just something that annoys me on VGC in general.

I agree with what you say; the proportion of lurkers who are Mafia are usually higher than the general population. In any case even Town lurkers spoil a game - how can we analyse you if there's nothing to analyse? But giving them a lot of chances first is the best idea; letting the mod deal with it is probably fairer. Lynching someone who doesn't talk back is no fun at all, even if it's the right choice.

Thats crazy ! Not everyone is glued to their PC's 24/7. A better idea would be to check their profiles to see if they were online and hadn't said anything.

1. Khuutra asks for the doctor's protection. 

2. Nikelles wants to lynch whoever lurks most.

3. Supermario votes "no lynch".

4. Dsister fos's supermario and tanstalas fos's Dsister.

5. Falcon stinks even though he isn't here.

Plentiful to analyse from day one so far. I could't have asked for more.




<3 sabby

Btw Falcon has posted. Twice. If that's what you meant by 'isn't even here,' anyway.

@gow

I'm well aware that people don't spend all their time at their PCs just as much as I'm well aware that it is the weekend, like I said I want to give the first day a good airing.



Let's go for some random questions I thouht up on the spot.

1. What's your opinion on day 1 lynches?

2. What's your position on lurkers?

3. Pepsi or Coke?



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

Or 'even though he isn't here.'

You would think I could quote the post directly above me with a degree of accuracy.

You forgot 6. sabby makes lists of people that have demanded something or voted... or fos'ed... or are normally lurking
