Thing is I can post less if I actually care to so if I end up in a game with someone who wants a not-spammy game just tell me.
I learned this in T-Bone's recently finished Large Theme. In the beginning I kept my post count reduced. I actually made a full catchup instead of my typical "respond to one post at a time" catchup at one point.

basically a bunch of ranting raving and bitching about hero vigs, which I feel is kinda dumb since vig has about the power of a cop, you can confirm town or scum motive from someone, you can eliminate concern about problem slots (lurkers, constant replacements or dead slots), and tandem with that eliminate players who are possibly town but will always stand in the way of town cohesion.

no its not ranting about hero vigs.
Vigs were the solution to a problem.
Biasing the setup away from hero vig shots and towards house cleaning shots was an attempt to get them to solve the problem they were put in the setup for.

Encouraging town people to play in such a way so to avoid getting shot by town night 1. ('taking out the garbage')
In post 103, Gamma Emerald wrote:you can eliminate concern about problem slots (lurkers, constant replacements or dead slots),

so as you think its dumb youd run some other setup.

yes but the possibility of getting cop checked n1, doesn't as significantly discourage
problem slots (lurkers, constant replacements or dead slots)
Your mileage may vary.
Apparently it does as you think thats dumb.
Apparently you're talking about randomly distributed vigs which were a thing when I might ask? I've seen no mention of these in the site history. Also how does that in any way imply I think vigs are ""dumb""?

One of those victories he can definitely claim for himself, he pretty much named the team at the end of his time in the game

Honestly unless someone has some form of need to post I think one should rarely run out of posts since the others won't be posting much either, meaning less to respond to.

In post 530, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:Eh, there’s a difference between "lurking" and "not playing the game."

I would probably define a lurker as someone who posts below a certain frequency threshold. It's possible to post infrequently, but have every post have content.

I think the latter may be more of the issue but not playing is sadly a play style on this site.
I define lurking as a type of not playing the game, it's why active lurking exists

In post 534, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:Nah, lurking is playing Gamma. As town for example, lurking allows you to take a step back and reevaluate.

You just have to do it in small doses because if you lurk too much you’ll start to get detached from the game. And apathy can be a real killer.
Fair point

isn't this why the initial geriatric idea (the kids these days thing) was a problem?

I definitely intend to keep a serial flaker blacklist from now on

Welp!

I'm going on a lot of blacklists then...


Also, shouldn't most of this be in a Geriatric Discussion thread?
Like, if we've stopped caring then cool. Just asking :)
I think the main purpose of "that" thread was for people to bitch and moan

Waow I just checked the OP and it hasn’t been updated in two years
Maybe we should make a new thread.

I post a lot but I’m nowhere near the worst of it
Plus I feel like just in general I’d like more games that espouse the values this group goes for
