Woo hoo! I KNEW it! I'm glad I stayed on that path!!!! Are we going to have enough participation for Day 15? I'm hoping so. I was planning on being here for the last day's vote, but my pc decided to die on me. Then I didn't have the link anymore cause my bookmarks were all gone Now I have my book mark back. I have also written down the link and we are good to go on my end thankfully. Glad to see you guys got another scum

I'm thinking a good place to start tomorrow would be people who posted in day 13 but didn't vote - like wombat

I'm thinking a good place to start tomorrow would be people who posted in day 13 but didn't vote - like wombat 1. Do you mean Day 14? 2. Assuming you do, I'm not sure I agree. Going to go ahead and say that I think this will be, by far, more false positives than not. I'm not sure why this game is still going on. That's the long and the short of it. At the point the game IS still going on, we must realize that while scum are still around, the number of frustrated town is now larger [relatively speaking] than it was at start. Yes, no new players joined the game, but the ratio has more than likely changed. That is to say, ""looking"" at those not active == Lynch the Lurkers* is bad practice in the Opening, it's downright suicide in the Endgame. Frustration alone should tell you where we are. Again, I can't believe we are this long in the tooth on the game. *Lynch the Lurkers might be viable, if there is a lack of evidence elsewhere. I'm not sure what that evidence would look like, BUT if you have other places to look, Lynch the Lurker needs to be placed on the back burner. ANY substantive game post would be ""other places to look"". Lynch the lurker yields false positives. At this point in the game, I don't think it has a good return on investment. I almost want to say it is opportunism. I almost want to say that Scum would offer this from desperation. ""Ignore 13 Weeks of content, and just look at the 14th week in isolation"". does not good mafia play make. Yes. Easy for me to say. But you know what? I'm frustrated with this game now. Have I said that? Good. It's the truth, and I have no problem saying it. I've already said worse in this game, but this needs to be said. The frustration AND the reasons against this late game lynch the lurker idea.

perhaps we should have a head count of who is still actively playing, I am sure everyone still participating will log in in the next day or so and those who don't we can presume have dropped out or are scum laying low to go undetected ... that's my take on it any way, does anyone agree ?

I didn't get "lynch the lurker" from that at all. I got vote for the persons who posted on day 14 and then did not vote. Wombat99 did not. Meeko did not. Colby11 voted for patricia. I think the suggestion was to go back and just look at Day 14 posts. We are so far into this game, and so many people have subbed, that I can see where going back very far is not very helpful, but you do have to take more than one or two days into account IMHO. What do you make of these? I'm not even attempting to go back and build up a case on anyone from day 1. The number of substitutions in the game make it hard to group alike all the comments from one screen name, and then un-group them as needed, per the sub ins. I almost want to say it is opportunism. I almost want to say that Scum would offer this from desperation. ""Ignore 13 Weeks of content, and just look at the 14th week in isolation"". does not good mafia play make. We are down to 14 players (before the night kills) and it seems about 7 active...and I think we are all frustrated with the game. However I intend to play it out.

I am not going back to Day 1. I have been going from Day 10 and onward just for simplicity sake.

Meeko - what I was trying to say is let's start by looking at players who posted but did not vote - I was thinking that scum may not vote on a fellow scum but may post to try to look like they are looking for scum - didn't mean to 1) only look at one day or 2) vote on pure lurkers.
Let's start with day 14(not 13) and work backwards - due to the subs I going to start by looking harder at wombat and meeko both when day begins.
did anyone else find it odd that idle didn't post a night ending time?

Meeko- Well if you aren't going to play then why don't you just leave. It's no help for you to judge how we're playing if you aren't going to contribute AT.ALL.

<composing a post in the current SDMB game> <begins making a point about subs>
"Hmm...subs...why is subbing in a game poking at the back of my...OH SHIT!"
Sorry, I completely flaked on this game! I've been so engrossed in the other game, combined with a bunch of real-world events, that it all served to utterly distract me from here.
On the plus side, even though all I've read is post #1 of this thread, it was a nice post #1! Ok...catch-up time!
