Some players follow the game very closely, but never post until the end. Keep that in mind.
Also, RP doesn't mean bad. "ZOGM TEH WRITEYUP CAME WHEN YOU WERE ON" could mean they're a good RP (or nothing, cause I hate that theory and it's usually wrong).

Yeah, I learned that last game. Zaro followed very closely, but posted very rarely.

Alright, I think I can get that. So would you say someone like THG who was extremely active last game and is being relatively quiet a good way to go?

Possibly yes, and possibly no. It's still early and it's incredibly hard to get a read on anyone at this point unless something crazy happens. Mostly it's blind leading the blind.

Thg hasn't gone off the deepend yet, so it's way still to early to tell what's up.

I'm tempted to go for THG because of the way he played the last game but it's hard to judge if he's being so quiet because he learned his lesson or if he has a role this time.

That's the problem with thg... he's in trouble either way. If he plays like last game people will want him dead. If he changes, people will wonder if he has a role now or if he's just trying to play a different game to stay alive.

I've gone the opposite... I was fairly inactive last game, since I was trying to learn on the fly, but the game is much more fun when you interact!

Exactly. I know in a past game someone tried to start a vote against me because I had "been on all morning and not posted"... and meanwhile I just left the browser open on my phone while I was at a meeting... :lol:

the only way you can really use that as an indicator is if you see a pattern over a course of days, and even then it is still a guess, really.

I hadn't thought about Troy...I think he posted once or twice recently, but I think that's been it. I guess I'm willing to give THG a temp pass for now, I just think he wasn't sure how to play the game. I seem to remember some noob attempting to lynch himself in his first game... :face:

I think Troy would be a good choice. He's a vet, usually more active, and a strong player. He could be dangerous if he is on the naughty list. Plus he killed me a few games back, I think.

Well, I'm not voting yet since I got an innocent man unwrapped a few hours ago. So if push comes to shove, I'm voting to salt canaan and taking a nap.

That's the problem though...Anyone who is a strong player and could be dangerous if bad could be a great help if they were good. I base quiet more on past games then this one as its been 6 hours?

No one has really called me out yet. I am pretty sure that Crayz wouldn't do it again unless he was a good guy. So no need for me to get bent out of shape.
