Songstress is active enough imo. Also, going by post count to judge activity is silly. Songstress died before plenty of other players, and also, her posts are usually more substantive than the average.

 

Furthermore, there were plenty of real inactives (Berf, Darthe, and NotBob among them), but you only want to hold Songstress accountable for low activity?

 

Not only wrong but coming from you hypocritical.

 

I was active early and then converted, then killed shortly thereafter.

Here are a few thoughts regarding current discussions:

 

To me, lurking is a playstyle. Period. Doesn't mean it's good or bad, it just is. If you don't like people that do it, lynch them.

 

There are no right and wrong ways to play. The mod sets the guidelines. People will innovate. It's how the game evolves.

 

Inactivity is so often blamed on the players - blame it on the mods instead. If the game is interesting and it flows, people will play it. if it is encumbered by too many rules and is made too difficult to understand, they won't. If it is not handled well by the mod, they won't. If it degenerates into spats between players about play styles and how everyone should be doing things, people will leave. Mafia is like sex: keep it spontaneous and inventive, don't confuse the people you are playing with and it is usually best enjoyed after cocktails.

 

If you have a complaint about DM mafia, put the time in to create a great game. Problem solved.

 

I was very happy with the amount of activity in this game - I was also very happy with the number of people who really brought their A games. This was a blast to mod and I hope as much of a blast to play.

 

So cut each other some slack, dust yourselves off and get ready for the next game. That's why we're here. 

 

Best commentary inside the entire thread.

Peace is Fake Claiming being me. This is a good thing because now Wombat will Lynch him :P

  

 

I spell it like that too

Rand is only buddying up to Wombat because he thinks he is going to Lynch me, but it is not me :P

I will just mis spell everything and Fake Claim Dap.

Of course that will probably also get me Lynched.

You will have to do alreast one drunk rant to allow me to forgive using my name

I've been really wishing I had gone with my other choice on the first vig kill I had, which would have been Ape. In the end I decided to go with BG, and if I'd gone with Ape, I would have nailed scum.

I think players who don't post a lot are often underrated. People assume that because they don't post frequently that they're not putting in effort. Some of my favorite players have been low volume posters. I'd rather read one analytical or insightful post than a whole page of some of the facile crap most players post.[/size]

You would say that. Disgusting.

 

Joking aside though your most analytically post that is DEAD ON and names everyone's roles with 100% accuracy doesn't mean a damn thing when no one is willing to give you any credit because you have less than 50 posts in a 100+ page game. Go ahead and scale that for smaller games but you get my point. Activity isn't just about spewing crap, which can happen regardless, it's about trying to signal your alignment to your allies.

 

 

And once again, Nolder... Bite me.

 

 

You didn't single her out you say?

I didn't. I'm referencing the fact that Wombat is also a lurker. I called him disgusting because that's kind of the lingo on JN lol.

This isn't interesting anymore?

 

OH wait I can leave and unsubscribe. :wink:

 

Great game as always DPR expect a PM, well played all a very entertaining game. Might I say as a lurking scummer that outlasted 29 of you... Deal with it. Lurking is a style. Don't like it? Lynch. Don't think the Mod is doing enough? Complain to the mod, or, alternatively, don't play games hosted by Mods you know won't modkill based on a playstyle.

 

Simple.

I'm not a lurker. I post more than most.

This sounds like the beginning of a great mafia hip-hop song.
