Granted, it's just been a few games, but the things that consistently rule the games (especially the early game) are personality, reputations, and meta. Every post is a one-up, every argument degenerates into personal insults. It A) makes the game not fun, and B) benefits only the scum. Every player is too concerned with being right and showing off their big scum-hunting dick. Lurkers and no-content posters are allowed to linger to lylo because "that's how they play." I believe if we treat this game like a business, and make the first priority to work together, two things will happen. 1) the chaff will get lynched and the game will get better. 2) the scum will be forced to play in a pro-town manner. That means more bussing, more lynching of scum. These two changes will lead to more town victories.
I love this a million times.
Something like a "charter" is a very twisted sword - the actual speaking of it makes it almost impossible to do, but the discussion of it makes the end result happen anyways. Three pages in and I'm happier about how this is going then many games I've been in a while.
Because, at heart, its not about the agreement or disagreement, its about the process behind it. Which is why even at this point I can do something like this and the fact its happening now makes my heart aflutter.
Town as hell tm:
Quil - This is looking at an idea, not making a snap judgement, weighing the bad versus the good and cutting to some really important parts of it right out of the gate. Especially explaining with words why things are done and the fact at the end of the day round one is "people playing like town" versus "people playing like scum" versus "town" and "scum".
Hadrian - ohh hey look open dissent in such a way
that points to exactly what its trying to accomplish.
SO GUESS WHAT YOU ARE IN WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT BUDDY.
Porkens - duh
Town:
morph - I like most of what I see. However, versus the others this could be faked some depending on how things shake out but thats a tiny bit of paranoia.
kdub - Its the agreeing with most every word thats said. Mirror-ego syndrome paranoia keeps from the above.
Probably Town but makes me paranoid as shit:
Awesomeusername - I keep looking at post 55 and I can't put my finger on exactly what it is that makes me want to sneak up behind him with a garrote but there's something there. Something...sinister. But I am old and, as said, paranoid.
Probably Scum:
HighShroomish - I'm not taking the time to go through and look deeply at his games, but the whole idea of "scum totally play like town you guys" is so foreign to the wasteland I live in and this is just the right kind of alarm bells I'm not stoked. I only say probably because
Actually needs to be turned into fertilizer because jesus:
1baldeagle1 - I dont even know where to begin. If I were to measure the desire to kill versus the amount of words in that post somehow the desire to kill is actually HIGHER then the number of words. Thats a feat in and of itself. The fact "lurksack-town meta" was already brought up is a giant warning red klaxon that this shit needs to meet its friend the dodo right fast.
hiplop - This will be referred to from now until forever as the "inverse Quil". On top of not actually being useful when being a real vote, its a snap dismissal under the guise of it being actually bad.
Now, in that perfect world I dream of when I go to sleep?
Those 6 names in the top would shake the shit out of every name not mentioned while manically murdering the hell out of the bottom of that list. If, in those three names, there isn't a scum I'd be surprised.
