Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
Because typically there is a scum in the lurker group. Also, lurking town are liabilities in the end.
My pro-tip for anyone: If you don't have a good read, voting a lurker is never a bad idea.

Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
Sure, you've caught me out in a hypocrisy. But scum are known to lurk. I forget who did it in a recent game—and it was by no means thorough or scientific—but they went back and looked and basically a third to half of the lurkers turned out to be scum in the games they looked at. Anyway, the theory is that players who come back and find themselves voted are more likely to participate in order to placate the voter, and in doing so create information and connections that can be studied later.
Contrast that to EMC, who doesn't care that you're voting him and won't change his behavior.

Man, people may actually listen to me, but they forget I was the one who did it...
Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
I don't object to hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is fine and not a sin; it is the backbone of society. I just wanted to know your internal reasoning.Foxcastle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 5:06 pmSure, you've caught me out in a hypocrisy. But scum are known to lurk.

Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
I'm not voting EMC to change his behavior. I'm voting EMC to register my objection to his behavior. I think town shouldn't want him in the game. I am willing to stop this eventually, but after 2 modkills, I must.Foxcastle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 5:06 pmSure, you've caught me out in a hypocrisy. But scum are known to lurk.

Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
My town reads are probably
Jamiet
Bunny
Tom
In that order.
I keep going back and forth on ghug. I just can't tell yet if the hate boner is being forced or if he's just tunneling.
I'll do a further re-read of the smaller talkers, but currently I would seriously consider wagons on worcej and damo.

Wouldn't scum!Tom know that people would have this exact reaction and perhaps say something like this for exactly this type of town cred?
Re: Mafia 57 Matrix
I guess I'm just frustrated that you're obscuring your "real" reads. I think you're now joke-voting Worcej, for example. And it's all well and good to say "yes, but I'm leaving a record of my thoughts," but you also know that following votes on the bot is a low-effort analysis that more people are willing to undertake, whereas sorting through all your posts to figure out what your "real" reads were is high-effort and fewer people are likely to undertake it.BunnyGo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 5:11 pmI'm not voting EMC to change his behavior.
