RBP3 Lurker Discussion Thread - No Players!

[novice]

That's alot of posts from regoarrarr, soooo and Darrell in a very short space of time. Pencilling that in as contact between them and someone else (not a large team, most likely Ruff or another single player team/duo).

That is quite impressive.

That is quite impressive.

Indeed.

I wonder though if it is against the spirit of the game to be paying attention to stuff such as the number of posts being made in other threads.

Some teams bookmark their threads, others subscribe to their threads and view only subscribed threads (like Ruff said recently), so are those teams at a disadvantage?

Novice and the other lurkers, what do you think?

I'm not bothered by it. The forums are a central part of the game, after all.

In fact, Krill should go one further and eliminate Korea with as many players logged into the game as possible, so that noone can tell who eliminated them by looking at civstats.

Wow, is Krill leveraging the rules to the maximum extent to get a free early worker and neighbour elimination the best way to avoid being dogpile target number 1 in this game?

I sense some hostilities from Ruff towards India...
What is it with that pinkish color that it seems to upset others so easily?

Yes, if he can remain anonymous. If he eliminates Korea with many teams logged on, noone can tell who the culprit is.

Although it wouldn't be too hard to guess from thread activity. (And the fact that the player is devious enough to remain anonymous).

Also, CivStats has confirmed that it was Krill who eliminated lobo / Korea

It looks like attempting to keep this secret was pretty futile to begin with!

Hey guys, I posted this in Muk + Dantski's thread.

Look at the cup half-full

Right after posting, I started wondering if I crossed any lines as a lurker that I shouldn't have . Can anyone of the more experienced lurkers give me his opinion on this? (novice maybe? ^^)

Yes, I think that gave away too much "information". FWIW, I doubt that will change any of their actions, so no harm done here.

Probably Too Much Information in principle, but don't sweat it.

I'm with Ruff on this: The players have spoiler threads because they want feedback, and as a consequence some information leakage will occur. That is unavoidable unless they make the threads read only.
