WW22 Lurker Thread - A Psychologist's Report

[Molach]

If Q lets Evil Uncle Zak talk him into lynching Jkaen, I will personally hop over to New Zealand and slap him.

Be sure to take pictures/film when you do.

[Lewwyn]

I pretty much agree w/ everything you posted Gaspar. Don't like shortening later days, however. yes its less entertaining as a lurker. But there is some merit for giving people on the block time to argue their innocence - regardless of whether its a scum about to be lynched or a villager about to be mislynched.

I also think Lewwyn has a blind spot for me sometimes. You make it sound one sided :P

Eh I thought you were scummy in the item switching game though and scanned you N1.

[Rowain]

In my next game I have planned, I'm strongly considering shortening the length of days after a certain point.

I would rather advice against that. the lull or whatever depends heavily on who is still alive (example in an Molach,Azza, Mattimeo endgame you can savely do 30 Minute- days without losing Posts ) and which timezones they are playing. If you have a huge difference in the TZ and maybe one has a busyday you successfully destroyed any communication between them. I think wolves are winnning often enough they don't need more help by hindering village-communication.

yeah, I agree w/ this. with uber, zak, and Q still alive there is plenty of activity going on now. there's less than early days only because only 5 people are still alive.

[Azza]

It's interesting that Zak is pushing the same case against Jkaen as I tried the day I got lynched.

What's even more interesting though, is that he had no interest in pushing it on day 2.

Kudos to zak for not going down without a fight

That's a good counter point.

I think there isn't a perfect balance between wanting to have the game time shortened as players drop in order to keep the momentum of the game going and making sure that everyone has enough time to be able to reach the forums and have a chance to participate.

[Ichabod]

Well, its entirely plausible really that anyone except Ryan is scum at this point. I could almost buy uberfish just playing a lazy game and being innocent, but his tone reminds me of his scum games. That's always the tip on zak as well - he's pretty infinitely more short-fused when he's scum. So better or worse, he's the best tell and I'd stick to him today.

I agree with this, so I think Zak is scum here, even though I've just read the last few pages, not the whole game.

[Azza]

Consider it, I'll be online to jump about 2 hours before lunch, but I won't unless the consensus is to do so.

I can see this backfiring big time.

[Bigger]

what kind of consensus does he want? is he expecting zak to say "yeah you should vote for me?"
