Also, because I might not be here later, I'll have an Extension, unless nobody else wants one.

That would sort of make sense, the trying to get pressure on twiggie, [...]
Some variation of Lyncher/Lynchee, perhaps?

sorry, i dont understand what you're saying. maybe im being really dense, but can you explain what you mean here?

The lyncher is a third party role whose goal is to lynch the lynchee.

I'll take that extension

To be true, finding a link between people is hard and dangerous work early on.  The team could be buddying, distancing, or outright planning to bus themselves.  Once one of them is found, the town can better analyze the others and see who was avoiding that person, working with that person, being 'attacked' by that person, ext. 

At the individual level, AN looks bad based on what you just dredged up.

Archangel appears to be ok so I'll just cross off that replacement post.

[webadict]

Also, Archangel, where was that write-up you were going to do...?

[Pandarsenic]

Well, if we're not replacing Org's successor as Captain Useless...

y helo thar archangel

[JanusTwoface]

Oh day extensions...

Anyways, I'm getting kind of frustrated with the lurkers (not just in this game, but in general).  If you're not going to post at least a decent amount, please stop joining games...  Even the abrasive people are better than people who don't post at all.

[JanusTwoface]

Of the three worst lurkers (Archangel, Rysith, and Vector), this is the sum total of their posts since I posted the my useful/useless posts thing (yesterday).

- Archangel got sick.
- Rysith had a somewhat useful post.
- Vector voted for the extension (single word)
- Archangel got better, said people were suspicious without any real reason and wondered off again.

So until one of them posts something useful, I'll start with unvoting and vote Vector.  Show and be useful please.

[Vector]

So... honestly, I trawled through this thing and have been following along the entire time, but I'm not quite sure what to say about it.  I feel like AN is playing clumsily and making beginner mistakes, but it's not like that's a scumtell or something.

If AN is looking for a particular yellow, as has been posited, then he shouldn't be testing for that with Twiggie.  This game is a closed system, remember?  We had 12 players, and now we have 13.  As such, AN cannot be looking for whatever Twiggie specifically is.  He could be looking for a class of yellows, but otherwise he's just rolefishing like mad.

That said, I've seen him do that as town in a handful of other games, so there you go.

If this is too obvious, I apologize (though it's a bit odd that Webadict didn't mention this conclusion, himself).  That said, your list fails to contain Twiggie, who is active-lurking all the way down the street.  Given that he's playing exactly the same as he played last time (and was scum then), I would like to see him come out and talk some more.

[Apostolic Nihilist]

He's also avoided all of my questions.
Really, Twiggie. Please, just a few questions!
I risked my life to ask those questions, and you didn't even give them a second glance!

Are you pro-town?! Are you a third-party!? What's your favorite colour?!

[JanusTwoface]

That was a perfectly satisfactory post.  I'm not particularly sure what good will come of lynching Twiggie at the time being, but at least you gave a reason for it and had some content to your post.  Please don't just wonder off though, keep posting relevant stuff...  The more people we have actively contributing, the more difficult it is for the scum to hide methinks.

Therefore unvote and vote Archangel.  Come back please.  You were going to do something in an hour or so about 20 hours ago.  That's a bit extensive.

No, I didn't mean he was looking for a particular yellow. You're right, that'd make me a moron. No, I was just trying to see if he was looking for an SK as a Survivor or some such thing.

But, this:

I disagree on Vector, since he's generally active and is playing (When was he gone?). But the other two I thoroughly dislike. They're very unhelpful. That's why I refuse to have Archangel in my games.

This is never going to stop, and keeping them alive isn't helpful. And remember how Archangel disappeared and we're waiting for his post?

I suppose. But how about this: How does your being alive help anyone? You're never around to make an analysis in any game I play with you, and this hinders everyone else. Therefore, lynching you prevents you from lurking, which would avoid both lynches and NKs, no matter what team you're on, and when anyone calls you out on it, your only defense will be that you're unable to be at a computer to defend yourself and that we should wait three weeks for an adequate response.

I don't want to do that. Because by then, the town's lost, and we're angry at you. So, unless you can allay that, which you probably won't, I won't unvote you. Also, there are currently no one else scummier than you.

I can see the future. Spot. On.

[JanusTwoface]

I don't disagree with you about Vector's general playstyle being relatively active.  It's just that (unless I missed something) he had only posted once (it was useful though) by the time I counted up posts and only once before my second post (with a single word in that one: Extension).  So he was lurking rather much this game. Which is one of the bigger play style things this game.

And I'll agree, I've never had a good experience with Archangel posting in the 2? games I've played with him.  And I'm not thrilled to be agreeing with webadict, so please... prove us all wrong and post something...

To be honest, I've been a lot less active than Rysith.  He posted twice, and both posts had information (or at least pretended to).  I voted Rashilul for bandwagoning and asked for an extension.  That's it.  I've been mostly ignoring this game for the past 5 RL days or so, except when we needed an extension to keep from shooting ourselves in the foot.

I think we need to worry about Archangel and Twiggie for lurking, and them + Rysith for content, if we can begrudge him anything.

Rysith had a useful post since my original post naming lurkers.  Granted, it was partly regurgitation of what had gone before, but that's not always a bad thing.  He's still on my radar for lurking, but less so that Archangel.
