JP: I don't want this discussion to become a distraction, so this is the only post I'm going to make about activity monitoring.
Your position on who should keep the game moving is completely and utterly wrong.
It is the mod's job to make sure that the players make posts according to the game's posting requirements. But it is the players' job to make sure that their colleagues post content which actually progresses the game towards a lynch.
You complain that the game is stagnant, yet I haven't seen you try to convince another player to give his own thoughts on who might be scum. I haven't seen you ask any direct questions to enable yourself to read another player. I have yet to see you try to convince other specific people why they should lynch Prana. Your approach to the game has been very passive, so when I see you complain about the game's pace, I can't help but wonder why you're not doing
everything within your power
to help the town, as a collective, arrive at a lynch. That's something I generally try to do when I'm protown. Heck, nowadays it seems that's what you have to do even when you're scum. So when I made a point against you about sitting on the sidelines, it's because there was something fairly substantial that I saw in your posting habits which made me say, "Wait a minute. Why is this guy telling us to pick it up without hardly offering any material with which to work?"
[/end rant]
Now then. Questions for you, JP:
What do you think about BV?
If Prana flips scum, who do you think is most likely to be a scumbuddy of his?
Aside from Prana, who do you think are the two scummiest players in the game?
And to respond to your issues with my posts:
89 and 92 were me pointing out that Zodiark isn't looking for scum, but flaunting his knowledge of the Final Fantasy universe. It was mere analysis of another player's efforts to find scum (or in this case, a general lack thereof). It's actually the same thing I'm getting irritated with you over. There was a TON of stuff to talk about, but Zodiark wasn't really putting any effort into finding scum, which was scummy.
In 218, I was pointing out why, logically speaking, Antifnity's reasons for suspecting me didn't make sense. He insinuated that I was using the Blindness to frame Ultros when my start-of-day behavior very clearly indicates that I was just generally confuse. Somebody else had to point out to ME that the flavor fit with Ultros, so Anti's argument held no water.
I'm not sure how you found those posts condescending. It's pretty much just how I've always played, and there was a very clear, game-related reason for me making each of those posts. I don't generally try to talk down to people, because that's not really who I am.
