@JJ: Why do you assume I'm asking for the sake of implicating you? I actually am trying to get into your head and see what
you
consider content. I'll assess more from there.
As for your active lurking arguments...one is self defeating due to your lack of experience.
Two makes no sense for what I understand to be the definition of active lurking. Can you please elaborate how hiding your online status (something I am doing, actually), assists active lurking?
Three has two problems in that RBT is a terrible player and that I don't know what parameters you are using to describe "active lurking". If you could elaborate on these I'd appreciate it.
Four just means that you're still helping the town if you consciously avoid active lurking, and doesn't really explain how it's not a scumtell.
@Tazaro: That is a terrible argument and you should feel terrible for it. Flavor != role. In themed games, different flavor names can have the same role. I've done it in the past, though mostly offsite since I tend to use only one vanilla townie per game. I wouldn't suggest using a flavor argument.
Oh, yeah, this being a bastard game a single vanilla townie is entirely possible, but not necessarily going to happen.
