I'm forced to agree; we have to get something going.

Vote: Faraway


I will remove this vote if faraway posts anything at all to this game.

It's a simple "I wish people would play this game" vote. I'm not wagoning anyone who's actually here; if he posts, it'll be gone.

I mentioned that because without it, I would agree that it's a bad play to wagon randomly, but honestly, you can't even come close to lynching me now since 80% of the town isn't playing. I want to get the town playing, and then I'll worry about defending myself. The vote will be gone if he posts so much as "hi".

Well fair enough... and I agree... you'd think there would be more hustle and bustle with all of us chefs about...

Yes I am here... however it is hard to maintain interest in a game that is going as slowly as this is.

I am used to much faster paced games, and thought that it would be similar here...

but nevertheless, I come here every day and see what's been posted. and so far between then and now there has been 16 posts over like 3 or 4 days...

I believe that the majority of the posts that have gone on so far have been with Team ASSHAT.

So voting on post count at the moment is kinda lame.

Did you read before posting that faraway? ManaSpryte has one of the highest amounts of posts in this game. She has built arguments against people, whereas all you have said is lets start posting more and why isn't anyone voting when you aren't yourself.
Since you have been hypocritical and clearly haven't been paying enough attention to the game.

Slightly odd posts by faraway, but a promise is a promise, welcome back.

Unvote.


If by CC, you mean carbon copy, which I imagine would be quoting someone else, then yes you can quote other players, there's a quote button when posting. I'm not sure what you mean by protocol, but some basic rules are no communication with other players outside the thread about the game, and you can't edit your posts (I think this is also impossible, though).

I'm really hoping I don't have to do this to every player on the list ;) Everyone else lurking, get out here.

ah, yeah, you are welcome to claim at any point. Of course, claiming right now would be quite a bit unusual, but I haven't really played many theme games, I imagine there may be more reason to claim in a theme game.

But in any case, you could claim now, you just shouldn't.

Shteven is correct, and be careful with claiming. Read the rules they will usually have something in them about what is and is not acceptable for a claim (usually quoting your pm is not allowed so you would have to paraphrase for instance). But you have no reason to claim at all right now...

So I got a vote for changing my icon and one vote for trying to pick up the game thats been moving slower then my '69 chevelle. That's fine.

Shteven and DOS have been trying to pick up this game, So there isn't anything that bothers me about them yet.

Faraway votes for me and says "Why haven't I said anything" where clearly I think I posted the most in this game as of yet. Faraway, why me? Why not =Confused= (3 posts all game) or Qman (Last post 10 days ago)? Thank you Rougueben

Dybeck was trying to help me get in for the town

UA/Mexal I have no idea about...

I might have reacted harshly on the team asshat thing, but I don't see ANYTHING happening in this game. Should we start a random wagon and try to pick up the game that way?? Take what you want from this

Alright guys, I apologize for being absent. I was just in another game on another site where the days were 28 hours long and I had a pretty crucial role. As a result, I was neglecting two out of four games on this site. Since there was nothing truly going on here, this one of them. I'm back now and I'm going to do a reread after work to see where we stand. Hopefully I can get some thoughts up tonight and maybe help jumpstart this game.

Starting random wagons wouldn't be the best day 1 I could hope for, but it may help. I already did enough of it myself though. I imagine if I tried again it would just end up being a wagon on me. Glad to see Mexal is back, we have been hearing from about half the players on the last page, so perhaps if we can focus on the other 6, we can get most of us talking.

It really sucks that the only way to get people to play this game is to put pressure of a lynch on them.

What do you hope to get out of a pressure vote, other than an indication of activity?

I hope to get some actual activity in the game... at this point that is all I am concerned with. We need more of the town to show up before I worry about potential connections between people, and who is potentially scum.

My main concern is the sheer number of lurkers (I haven't counted exactly, but roughly 6? at least 5?) means that there has to be at least some town lurking, even though it's probably mafia lurking. So it's a dangerous tell to use, and thus it's going to make day one that much harder.

Have lurking players been prodded?
