BM, would you rather have a lurker player you feel is town or an active player you feel is town advance?

I would rather have the active player - I would have loads of content to be able to verify my view, but with the lurker, I would have only a little information for which to draw my conclusion.

Note, this doesn't have anything to do with the current group - I get the feeling you don't think either SC or MBF is town.

an active protown player would obviously be better, because theoretically, they'd have a better chance of progressing to the later stages. But this is irrelevant in a game where inactivity is a towntell. :P

It's not irrelevant - the type of game just changes your answer to the question.

In this game, would you value a player you are reading as an active prottownie, or as a lurker townie more, taking into account the fact that active means more evidence for you to base your decisions on and inactivity at it's basis is a towntell?

ShadowLurker has had that scummy alliance proposal from early Day 1 and said that this is essentially a Mish Mash game with teams, which kind of doesn't rub right with me, and mikeburnfire is too inactive for my liking. In fact,
mod: Please prod mikeburnfire.

Ah. Has SensFan posted any content yet?

I want to wait for SensFan to post more before I make my decision.

Despite all of StrangerCoug's posting, he doesn't seem to be paying anymore attention to this game than I am. I mean, he didn't even know MBF was replaced.

If our mod was competent and prodded me, I would be much more active. If I am made TBW-Elect, I promise to bring the Change We Need to this game.

This would be an appropriate response, if Shadowlurker's alliance proposal had been scummy. :roll:

if they were equally townie looking? Active. But its unlikely they would be, because activity itself is somewhat scummy, and you make the assumption that someone active would look as protown as someone inactive.

Also, SL, if you want popular support, might i suggest not using Obama's campaign? :roll:

No name dropping please. :P
I refer specifically to those who succumbed to Obama's campaign this time around. I dislike the fact that the election was reduced to a battle between 'The Black Guy' and 'The White Guy'. Racial issues aren't going to be solved by electing Obama-they will just be brought to the forefront of publicity, and perhaps even become worse. Equally, i dont feel that racism should be as pivotal a question as the economy in the current climate, and from what i am aware, McCain's economic plans were far more potent than his counterpart's.
