68 kind of suggests that they're trying to get Tim on their side, or at least take the spotlight off them. While it's not scum indicative to push on lurkers it's an easy way to generate a read as scum and it also helps bring attention to other players when he's getting pushed.
I want Tim on my side because I have a town read on him from post #65. Chem already asked me about my lack of response to the gut read + I responded the best I could.
My experience with forum mafia has been that lurkers last way too long. In both games off-site, lurker maf made it to the end. People who post a lot draw more attention + tend to get picked off from lynches and NKs earlier. Meanwhile, lurkers coast without generating a lot of discussion. You (and a lot of others) say lurkers are an easy vote, but I have yet to see an actual lynch on someone because they lurked.
Fwiw, I wasn't really being pushed when I made the post calling out lurkers. Tim had a vote on me before, but I think the other votes came after my lurker call-out.
