You're making two assumptions here which you would be good to avoid, both in this game and in the future.Jitsu wrote: Look at the join dates of the players in this game. Several have joined in October, and a bunch more in September and August. You seem to be one of the more experienced players, having joined this spring. Almost everyone else has less than 5 months experience. There are many relative newbies in this game and is is not unreasonable to expect that we have newbie scum in our midst. Given, as you say, that you understand that others may not have done as much prereading as you did before your first game, you've all but confirmed my point. It is far from certain that everyone would have known that townies with power roles generally lay low.
1. Join date = experience level. I joined in July but I've been playing for quite awhile on another site. The only reason I joined MS is because I needed something to fill my time while I waited for a new game to start elsewhere (then again, I can finish 15 games on that site before I finish one here ). A better representation of experience level on this site might be number of posts...at least more so than join date.
2. Townies with power roles generally lay low. This is simply not true. It could be true and sometimes it is, but it's not always true and while you said generally, you're still making the assumption that it's true in this case. Be careful with that.
I am not confirming nor denying if I have a power role. What I'm trying to do is let newer players know that this kind of discussion is NOT pro-town, especially when it's based off of assumptions. You're doing the work for the scum so stop it please.
