WW16: Lurker Thread [SPOILERS]

[Sareln]

I think the last time someone got mod killed for disappearing off the face of the earth, they turned out to be scum.

I recall that as well.

what game was that? regardless, it doesnt change the fact that someone who disappears is far more likely to be village.

Not really. If someone is unable or unwilling to continue playing the game, alignment doesn't really affect that.

The one I remember is an early one, WW2 perhaps? It was Bruindane, and he thought he'd made a major slipup and just vanished from the forum forever

After the earlier apathy, that was an exciting day end

It was WW3, and that wasn't exactly the reason he disappeared. Nobody really suspected him at all, although he did have one "slip" that I was worried someone would pick up on. (We were both scum.)

From what I gathered at the time, I think the stress was unhealthy for him, and he became a bit obsessive about the game. I am really just speculating, though. At any rate, he did the right thing to walk away from it, if it really was affecting him negatively in RL.

It is certainly less stressful to play as town.

Quick, someone needs to post a message to Lewwyn's students in Chinese. I volunteer thestick!

Here's my best shot:

Èç¹ûÂÀÁÖºÍËûµÄͬ´åÃñ²»»á´þ²¶ËùÓеķ¸ÈË£¬ËûÃÇÒ»¶¨ÔÚÂÀÁÖ³Á˯µÄʱºò°µÉ±Ëû¡£

(Message from an unknown village:
If Lewwyn and his fellow villagers can't capture all of the criminals, they will definitely assassinate Lewwyn in his sleep.)

(Lewwyn's name is transliterated as ÂÀÁÖ. I figured that 'Realsm Beyond' indicated that the place was beyond human knowledge, hence mysterious, and I felt uncomfortable calling us a nation or city. Couldn't remember/look up a good word for lynch or what exactly to call Mafia goons. If all you can see are boxes, numbers, asterisks, or diamond question marks, I blame encoding. It seems to work if you set encoding to Simplified Chinese.)

I've probably screwed up here, somehow...

Back on game: I didn't think Mattimeo would get lynched. Then again, they were expecting him to die sooner or later, for reasons that will become clear later.

Also, 'Tinkerer' is weird but 'Cloaker' isn't? 'I throw cloaks on people' isn't that descriptive of an ability...

I think I'm going to avoid posting in here, too hard to comment on the game and not let slip wolf hints

Thanks for the role I could actually claim, though, BRick. Definitely made it more fun :D

Q killed, I guess thats not a shock. if Injera is town he'll be killed next I suspect - well the good news is a now looking more likely to be town novice will have 2 more days to catch some scum.

I'm just surprised that there's so many viewing, but no one seems to wanna comment today.
