At the time I made the comment regarding a name claim, I was under the apparently mistaken impression that this game was drawing, not from the whole of wrestling, but from a specific, limited time frame. Sure, people still changed sides some even if you limit when you're drawing on, but less so than other a longer period. However, since Idle has since implied at least that he drew on the larger WWE history, then my opinion on the name claim has changed some.
This is turning into a rough game for me. I'm more of a reactive player, not usually one to lead the charge. But right now there's nothing to react to. Pleo's vanilla claim? I don't think I'm willing to vote him for it right now, and it seems likely he's said all he's going to say about it at this time. I'm not a fan of voting non-participators this early, but if we have to we have to i guess.

Hey, cool, a countdown clock.
In between estimating jobs, sitting in a parking lot, bored. This is a pretty straightforward game, correct?
I've played two games and I like the straightforward one much more than the Bastard one that is going on forever on Giraffeboards. Too much BS.
As to lynch the lurker, I have mixed opinions. If you are given a really ho-hum role, I can see where it'd be hard to muster enthusiasm all the time. Shit, in one I was the GA and the other I was a bodyguard, and even then my enthusiasm waxed and waned. On the other hand , it's easier for scum to hide in silence. I would have to look at it with consideration of the point in the game, and what was happening.
Liars better have some pretty good reasoning, and proof to back it up, otherwise it's decidedly anti-town.

Here are my general Mafia philosophy statements. Any thing I say or do in Mafia game I do because I believe it is pro-town. Other players should do the same. Players who do anti-town things need to be lynched (or vig'd), because all townies should be helping the town and so only scum should be doing anti-town things. There will be disagreements on what constitutes anti-town, but that's why we vote. <snipped> getting caught up. i totally agree. now if you could kindly provide the link/cite to what consititutes anti-town and pro-town behavior that would be ever so helfpful. see a lot of folks, ok maybe just me, get kind of cross wise with this definition in actual game play. and i think this blah blah blah blah is anti town so they get my vote doesn't seem real subjective. seems like what might work for one might not for another.

Something strange has just happened.
Sister Coyote pops in several days after her single previous post, with a reply to the moderator a minute later. Cookies also comments soon after the moderator. And Dorian also comes back after a long hiatus.
Note that they have no comment about anything in the game, but make a safe response to the moderator. The fact that they responded quickly shows they are actually watching the thread and are choosing not to post, rather than simply being away from the game completely. This is true lurking.
Sister Coyote and Dorian are the most suspicious since they've participated the least. Cookies has participated earlier, but I'm still surprised by her quick no-content response. unvote Clockwork vote Sister Coyote

Yes. Because there's no point in me taking him at face value. Though I can't automatically decide he's lying either. If we have a thought experiment where every player in this game claims to be vanilla town, some will certainly be lying, but it won't increase our knowledge of the game. Same happens with just one person doing so. However, I'm mildly annoyed by it as a tactic, and I'm town. Ergo, it's anti-town! <bolding and sizing mine> god, i sure hope this was tongue in cheek attempted humor.

Ok, so I want to get a vote on the table before my office closes for the day (in ten minutes) and I spend the weekend doing family stuff and not playing mafia. It's shameful that right now the vote leader is Clockwork with Pleo's single vote. Vote: Peeker [/color] Why? For the same reason Pleo voted Clockwork but with the caveat that I think voting for Peek is more likely to net us scum since it is way out of character for Peek to post so little to a game when he is town. [/quote] woot woot. i get my first lurker vote because of some unexpected real life shit. crappy play dude, crappy play.

Contributed the least? What would you have me address that I haven't already? I'm not going to fluff and blabber. I responded to the mod to settle a concern brought up previously with the mod. everyone is just addressing the liar/lurker points which I've already weighed in on.
If you're calling me out for responding to the mod, you're an idiot. If you're calling me out for not continuing to talk about something I've already weighed in on then you're an idiot who wasn't smart enough to at least ask me to talk about something specific. I'm not going to waste time re-itterating, so if you want me to talk about something, try bringing up something I haven't already weighed in on.

That may have been a little harsh but no matter.
If you want me to talk more substantively then maybe bring up something of substance worth talking about. Clearly I'm around and reading. I do not post because i've already addressed lynching liars and such.

After I made my mistake about Darth and voted him for his "slip", I saw you log on to the boards a couple of time with no post forthcoming. Surely my gaffe was worth some kind of reponse?

Are you serious? You want me to justify my logging in habits? I'm online constantly and keep windows open and do a little thing called "refresh all tabs" fairly often.
I saw your post, I disagreed with it and thought it over before responding. Then Ed covered pretty much exactly what I thought about.
jesus christ, if i have to check in just because i'm online, seriously, sub me. Would you like to know when I go to sleep? I'm watching a few movies tomorrow with my lady, want to know what they are? Stalking someone's log-ins passes as scum hunting here?

Occasionally people have been known to dissect board logs when trying to determine lurking vs non-participation. Doesn't really seem appropriate at this point, and while all information is situation, it has never been my favorite strategy. Like Dorian I'm online a lot with a million tabs and/or browser windows open. Usually both, and refresh and read quite often without posting. Not sure what to make of luvbwfc going there, but imho peeker was to first to start us down that path and it all seems like a big null tell since bored townies with nothing else to go on will start substituting their own realities in spit of themselves.
