Daggers in the Night [Concluded]

[TheFlax]

I am surprised. Are you saying that it's okay for a townie to lurk?

Lurkers are bad, bad, bad.:

Depends on what you consider lurking. For example, some might consider us two lurking because our post count in this game is way below that of The Stranger, I don't see that as bad...

Look at what happened: I posted the spreadsheet, split made a list of names and suddenly quiet people start talking at night and get all defensive, isn't it fantastic?

Except that Split has been less present that most people on his list, granted he seems to be more active now and that's good.

Also I would like to point out the irony of being accused of first being to talkative and present, then being accused of the contrary.

Yes, it does not work like that, otherwise a majority would be flagged as lurkers. I don't know where to draw the line, but to me anyone with 6- posts at this time is a definite lurker. They should be encouraged to speak.

Oh, but split is (or was) lurking. Maybe he felt he had to speak after looking at the spreadsheet.... I don't see you as a lurker. 14 posts in 7 phases, that's okay I guess but again, I don't know where to draw the line.

There are Lurkers and there are Lurkers.

Lurkers are those who never ever post or active, townie or otherwise, and pretty much get branded as such, no matter the game.

Lurkers are those who do it intentionally in a game.

Can't a guy feel bad about his (lack of a) postcount once in a while? :P

I don't like to go on only post count. I will never be in the top post counts, but I try to add some help each time I post. Some just post to get their post counts up and add nothing to the game, to me that is worse, a distraction, that lets the mafia slip by unnoticed.

[The Stranger]

why would that let mafia slip by unnoticed. when no attention is payed to the distraction, it no longer is a distraction. a distraction says as much if not more about those distracted.

true that...there was so much fluff in the first 2 phases.
As many people have said - post count alone means nothing. And discussions during the night phase are very limited during any game, more so for vanilla style games.
