Not me. I expect nothing less than minute by minute coverage. What restaurant, how long the wait, what did she order, was the waiter prompt, romantic gift, special evening plans... ? Details!

Hi guys. Due to the lack of investigative roles mafia has no reason to manipulate the scenario. They can rest and let us pick one another off. With that in mind, time to read through the thread.

I think we need to start getting some input from other people

With no cop we really can't afford to let lurkers off the hook

And that means if you're town and you're not being as active as you could be you need to stop it and keep up or asked to be replaced ASAP because you're really going to screw the game up for us if you don't

[bgrishinko]

Why so confused?

[Darthe]

Perhaps it will makes better sense bolded.

I, in my own way, said mafia could play a lurker game and it would be an easy win for them because we would have little info and be screwed. Nol says that me saying so makes him more comfortable with his vote. Nolder goes on to say the same general thing I did in a different manner...

That's actually a pretty good point, Nolder?

[Nolder]

I don't agree with Darthe that mafia WILL lurk

 

My angle is we need to stay on top of lurkers as a way of covering all our bases

It's just being cautious whereas Darthe is implying Mafia have a reason to actually sit out

I don't agree with that at all

[RandA lThor]

Darthe didn't say that mafia would lurk. Darthe said that mafia might lurk because of certain reasons. And you just said

The only reason you would be cautious would be if you thought that there was a possibility that mafia would lurk, and the only way that you would think that mafia might lurk would be if they had a reason. So basically, you just contradicted yourself... again.

[bgrishinko]

The bolded didn't help, but you reminding me of what you said helped a lot. Makes sense now.

[Darthe]

Or you could simply have read it. I paraphrased it..

No you are lying

His EXACT WORDS are "Due to the lack of investigative roles mafia has no reason to manipulate the scenario."

 

There is no "might lurk" there

Darthe says they have "no reason to manipulate the scenario"

I'll admit that I put words in his mouth and made the assumption that if he believes that then he believes they will lurk

Personally I believe that is a logical conclusion based on what he did say but hey ok fairs fair I'll wait for him to clarify and admit I went too far

 

but what you are saying is just not true

 

As for contradicting myself

Yes I believe there is a possibility of mafia lurking but I don't believe there is an incentive to do so especially if the game is reasonably active

If we create an environment in which lurking is not tolerated then the mafia will have no choice but to remain active and participate in the discourse which leads to more chances of them slipping up

I feel like this is mafia 101 but I almost never see anyone employing it

Lurkers need to be weeded out in every game always until they stop lurking

[Darthe]

Of course the next line, which you carefully ignored was "they can rest and let us pick on another off.

[Nolder]

I'm not sure what your point is

[Tyler Glembo]

I do agree with Darthe and Nol though that lynching the more inactive players would give us some chance better than 50/50 as mafia may want to be more guarded about their posts to avoid the chance of slipping up. We should keep track of post count every now and again throughout the game.

[Kaylee]

Congrats Peace and Despo on your anniversaries!

[Kaylee]

I agree about the lurking. I typically can only get on about this time during the week. I'll try to post on my lunch break if possible as well.

[peacesells]

Thank you.

 

I'll do a vote update in the morning. Anyone thirsty yet?

[RandA lThor]

You just made me thirsty.
