Why are you responding to AA here? He was talking to haku.................

I like this group best. It's got my love, my floofbro, and myself <3

[Precarious]

The checks are of limited usefulness, since only one person can actually be the seer. But at the least, it allows the seer to put an actual result out without being immediately outed, and it forces everyone to sort of account for their result. The actual benefit of this whole exercise probably won't materialize until later in the game, but that doesn't mean it won't turn out to help later on.

[ShadoWolfe]

Why am I the only one posting? There's seven players viewing..

Should I start a journal, like Haku? I have to leave in 20m lol start talking guys

[Hakulyte]

When are you coming back?

Forcing everyone to account for their result isn't a benefit. The reason it's done is to have all results available whenever the seer is NKed, but I get your point.

That's one of the main benefits of high benefit posters like Haku or Charu. No matter what is being said, even if it doesn't actually help solve the game, it provides a platform for conversation, which at least gets people talking and active.

Anyway, I'm going to be out again for a bit. Back in about two hours.

[Precarious]

High activity, I mean.

I'll be at work til 11ish, but I'll be checking on-and-off throughout the day. It shouldn't be as busy as yesterday, but if worst comes to worst I'll be sure to post a couple times during the day and cast my vote by EoD.

It benefits Town and Wolves equally imo.

The only thing that makes the game progress is quality content.

Yesterday I spent the entire day pointing fingers at every town and I eventually came to the conclusion that we had to at least have "one active wolf".

I was really disappointed, not only for being wrong, but at how there was no one to find in the active users in the first place.

Therefore I'm forced to sit back and keep watch on low content users even if it means creating a ghost town.

Cause I don't want to have to remember the checks. If you're asking why I care about the checks in the first place, that's because it's probably a decent strategy to avoid lynching players who have been checked unless you have a decent scumread on 'em.

I don't really get what you're saying here? Could you explain what benefit you see from outing checks other than allowing the seer to give a result?

I don't think your post is alignment indicative, but I was asking why you bothered compiling them. The way I see it, if a player dies and flips cop, it's a fairly simple matter to go back and read their checks. If you're suggesting avoiding lynching from checks entirely, I'd disagree because everyone who ISN'T the cop is just picking a name and going with it.

Also, I'm considering your durian fruit avatar and signature a big scumtell, btw.

James May -> DFR

2 checks:

Precarious + juckter1 -> MixMasterLar
R.E. Aryxi + AA -> juckter1
MixMasterLar + DFR -> R.E. Aryxi

why would you ever use it for poe when there's only one real check lol

Did it? You were town last game, with weak posting. You go out of your way to reference last game's weak posting in this game, with the reason why it was so difficult finding a place to say what you wanted to say.

Can you understand why a wolf would also have an incentive to establish precedent as "weak-posting town" in a new game?

Haku wasn't suggesting that, but juckter was..

haku said that he thought using it for PoE would be a bad idea, which suggests that he at least thought of it

but that's more semantics, doesn't really matter

it's actually not as bad of a strategy as it sounds, because assuming that the seer actually outed their check then one of those people is actually confirmed

but if there are too many checks then obviously it's less valuable
