We have post limits, but we don't have word limits to our posts. That means that you should be posting fairly infrequently (definitely not twice a day), while posting as much content as possible in each of your posts. Make up for quantity with quality.
I agree with Icemuffin, you should probably write notes as you go in a notepad file, and then combine them all when you finally do need to post.
Posting without content is what mafia wants most in this game, and thus it should be considered exceptionally scummy when someone does so. Asking people questions that will have short answers is fine: it's up to the person answering those questions to make sure they don't answer until they have a substantial amount to say. i.e. if I ask StangerCoug what his favorite color is, he shouldn't come back and say 'blue.' He should wait until he is forced to post by the time limit,
What I'm less sure of is if we should be trying to beat the deadline. There's a fair bit of math that can go into analyzing this game: 72 hour activity deadlines, 120 hour days, 100 posts per person, and 250 posts (5 pages) per scum-kill. It's not very intuitive what a good posting frequency is, and if we should be trying to get our lynches off before the last day. Anybody who wants to commit some time to doing some math would be appreciated.
My opinions on the hydras are mixed. NAJD has something like a dozen heads, which means meta, as well as reading their motivations, is just about impossible. If they're scum (or should we be calling them a he/she?), they're in a very strong position. Presumably, nobody will be posting anything without the others confirming it worthwhile. This also means no scum-slips, as there are too many people to catch them before it formally gets posted. I'd like NAJD to post their method by which they agree upon what gets posted. Actually, the same question can apply to all hydras: How are you choosing what to post?
If NAJD (and to a lesser extent, smaller hydras) is town, I'm not sure if we get the same benefits as they do if they're scum. That is, I think a dozen-headed hydra is a much stronger scum character than town. I'd love to hear others opinions why this is or isn't true, and why lynching NAJD is or isn't a good idea. Is a 12 headed hydra 12 times as good at scum-hunting? Are they more dangerous as scum than a 2-headed hydra, or even a single player?
Another thing I think is important about the game is bandwagoning. I think it is more crucial here to form good bandwagons than the average game, because bandwagoning = straight to business. Indecisiveness leads to more frequent posting, which is bad, since more posting = more scum lynches. As such, we will have to adjust more than usual to accepting other people's decisions on who is the scummiest. I considering going off on your own to make votes that aren't backed by sufficient logic as 'noise' posts. Noise = scummy. If you oppose a wagon, you should give a good reason why your vote is more well placed.
That's all I can think to say right now. Want to hear other's opinions on most everything I said. There is a unique strategy for town to play this game, and I think the more people put their 2cents in, the closer we'll come to finding that strategy. In particular: posting rates, what do scum want to do this game, how hydras should be treated, etc.
