Before hand you were very adamant and confident that you had found scum and you vote was where you wanted it on Sir Tornado but as soon as a bandwagon comes along you seem to totally forget about your previous convictions and jump on said bandwagon. Why the sudden change of heart?OhGodMyLife wrote:Unvote, Vote: Tubby

A vote is a tool, and, as town, there is no reason not to use it to the greatest extent possible - even if you are not certain someone is scum, you can use it for pressure, you can vote to see how people respond. A vote is too importantWhy do you think Yos should be voting? Since I first played mafia on another site I have always thought that a person's vote is extremely important; I find it weird that you would take an interest in why Yos is not voting. Why do you take an interest in Yos's vote?
I'm slightly resentful that, after spending some time constructing a list of this nature, yos decided to do so aswell.OhGodMyLife wrote:i am supremely disturbed by yos' lurkerhunt
I didn't forget any previous convictions, but the sir t wagon doesn't, it seems, have any legs, and I like having my vote somewhere that it does some good.militant wrote:OhGodMyLife wrote:I'm not protecting lurkers, I already found scum, and thats more important.Before hand you were very adamant and confident that you had found scum and you vote was where you wanted it on Sir Tornado but as soon as a bandwagon comes along you seem to totally forget about your previous convictions and jump on said bandwagon.

I am not criticising the wagon, I think it is good if it gets tubby talking and stops him lurking, but I was suspicious of you because you seemed so sure that Sir T was scum and then you just hop to another wagon. Would you care to elaborate on the phrase "have any legs"; I have never heard of it before. If I understand it correctly you thought Sir T's wagon was not going anyway and was not going to result in a lynch so you jump on another which could materialise into a lynch. This coupled with the speed at which you unvoted Sir T leads me to beleive you just want someone lynched rather than someone you actually beleive to be scum.OhGodMyLife wrote:I didn't forget any previous convictions, but the sir t wagon doesn't, it seems, have any legs, and I like having my vote somewhere that it does some good.militant wrote:OhGodMyLife wrote:I'm not protecting lurkers, I already found scum, and thats more important.Before hand you were very adamant and confident that you had found scum and you vote was where you wanted it on Sir Tornado but as soon as a bandwagon comes along you seem to totally forget about your previous convictions and jump on said bandwagon.

Criticising me for joining the bandwagonyouare on makes me think you might already know its a bad wagon.

Next, you jump on him for producing a rather long list of lurkers? That is entirely consistent with someone who hasn't placed a vote. If he hasn't heard sufficiently from a large portion of town, doesn't that fit?
The list itself doesn't mean he is town, but it doesn't mean he is scummy either. Why does it feel like you are seeking a reason to attack him?

When did you make this list? Nat has since returned and tubby has made several comments pretty much confirming that he is a lurker who needs to be lynched.

Puta Puta – Deliberately lurking. Has been seen on site, in New York Forum, but not posted once.
GeorgeCarlin – 2 posts so far-both full of content, but silence for the last few days. Poorly reasoned opening vote-construed to look like more than a random one. I kinda like the way he is watching people who follow his vote, but his reasoning for this is again poor.
Xyzzy – Playing for time. Lurker.
Sensfan – Responded to Prod today. No other posts.
Panda – Not posted thus far. Either absent, or lurking.
ZTR – Seems lazy. Hasn’t posted any content so far. Not sure if he intends to play for the full duration.
Natirasha – Random Self-Vote. Unlimited V/LA since then.
Killa Seven – Posted once-no content. Fairly standard for him.
Tubby – Made a random vote, and has been legitimately V/LA since.
Militant – Nothing insightful so far. Has been nearly active enough at this point and legitimately V/LA, but promised comments and has not delivered within his self-imposed time limit.

The same question could be asked of you. In post 252 BM said that he was constructing a list of lurkers but Yos decided to as well so BM did not need to post his. BM then said post 259 "screw it", BM decided to post his lurker list as well. The list must have been compiled roughly about the same time as Yos's was. Which explains why it is now inaccurate because as you said some of the people on the list have now started to post.Seraphim wrote:When did you make this list?

And why would you then vote based on that?

But there are times when the best way to use a vote is to not cast it right away, when the implied threat of a possible vote is more likely to get useful reactions then an actual vote would.Shanba wrote:

When day 1 can last as long as a month, letting someone get away with lurking the whole time without even noting it seems like a bad idea. It's more effective to stay on top of it and keep people active the whole time, instead of waiting until day 2 and then expecting them to catch all the way up or be replaced.@Yos: Lurkerhunt? I know it's your style, but egh. I can't get enthusiastic about lurker hunts till at least day 2.
