Anyway, I came here to say I'll be putting up my new Mafia game soon, unless there are any complaints left.

I'll give myself a few more hours to think up any better roles or something and then post it, so speak now or forever hold your peace.

I never see Winston and never play him.

I was in a match the other day where I had 3 Mei's on my team. We lost.

winston is great on outdoor point contest maps.

Idk how you lose with mei she literally can't die.

they were being dumb. I like Mei, I've seen her do work.

Winston, I just can't wrap my head around. He doesn't seem to do enough damage and people can enter his shield which doesn't seem to last long enough IMO. Maybe I should just spend more time with him.

I love when the drama gets going. Gimme a good ol' fashioned melt down any day.

Is it a distraction? Yes.

Do people take fake pointless games too seriously? Absolutely.

At the end of the day it's all in a good fun. At least for me. I mostly get feigngry.

I gotta say, "ONGOING GAME IN QUESTION" is pretty toxic, and won't say more about it.

Everyone is just scrubs though, it's ok. This is life.

You could make them Hated. Like put it in the OP, if you are an egregious dick just for the sake of it, I will deem you hated on the votecount.

I've done the floor dive too many times to count. I live in a rough area, just stay away from windows and report what you think you heard to the cops if you hear it again.

Better safe than sorry, and I'd rather make a duplicate call and get a cruiser patrolling than be worried.

Best of luck, I have a strong dislike of guns.

Back in high school I had an awful gym teacher who would spend like the first 20-25 minutes of every class talking about stuff he felt passionate about, and one of the three things he came back to the most was how terrible canadian geese were and what a public service that people that hunted them like him were. So maybe there were just a bunch of geese around.

He was fired later that year for throwing a full cooler through a fence during a football practice.

Holy poo poo, was he the hulk?

Just remember, active is another word for good and lurker is another word for shouldn't have signed up and also bad

Not always the case, there are very active players who will post a hundred poo poo posts and have two posts where they lightly case someone to appear relevant.

I think there is true lurking where a player is just a non-participant who shouldn't have signed up and people who coast by to stay under the radar intentionally. :shrug:

BottleKnight posted:

the difference between those two is one is playing the game with a particular strategy and one is not playing the game at all. Just post always works, because you can normally tell when someone is full of poo poo and non-committal.

:agreed:

I think lurking in general is a detriment to the game, but I feel circumstance can get in the way. I don't think players can always just post though. Sometimes there isn't anything to say and you don't want to look bad by comparison because if you're just rambling people are quick to jump on that as scummy.

I don't know if its mafia culture itself or the nature of an online PbP game, but quantity vs. content can be trouble for the game objectively. I'd rather have a player who was quiet for most of a day and made 3 content posts then a player who created 3 pages of quantity posts.

I imagine there has to be some balance, but I don't know if "lurkers" could ever truly disappear from online games.

All in all, as scum I go by content or lack thereof in my decision for NK. Look for breadcrumbs, look for poo poo posters, look for nonfactors and look for the brightest among the group. In it to win it, even if I seldom succeed :D

I get all my work done and do it well, but I'm not one for busy work tedium, but I've even burned through that. All that's left is innovation and eh... innovation can wait.
