Sonicpulsar wrote:I tend to meta-game as well, based on people who need replaced, etc. It's my opinion that people tend to do the following:

Scum/Power Roles: More inclined to lurk. They don't want to put themselves out there too much for fear of screwing up or saying something stupid. Thus, when given a situation where they don't feel like they can contribute much to the game (the last few posts), they'll tend to lurk rather than post. There's always the classic Lurking in Plain Sight as well. But I tend to find those players just annoying.

Vanilla: More likely to need a replacement. For whatever reason, people don't like to play vanilla. I find it the most entertaining (read: challenging) simply because you don't have any gadgets at your disposal. They're also more likely to be the "strong townies" simply because they tend to feel they have less to lose for the town if they screw up.

Now, I absolutely realize everyone and their sister can think up 50 people who these don't fit, no matter the circumstances, but I'm talking about generalities and tendencies.

/soapbox

At this point, I don't think we can read much into the two guys who might get replaced. There just hasn't been enough to go on.
:good posting:

I dont necessarily agree with a couple of your generalisations, but its very interesting to hear others points of view, however little relevance this discussion actually poses to the game. lol

That's an interesting look, HeH. I missed it somehow in the World Cup discussion. Like I said, it's more of an indicator than vote-worthy, but the off-game post analysis is interesting.

At this point, I think we need to see whom we get and go with their contributions. I don't figure there's much more we can make from this...

Okay - only 5 of us have said anything today. Guess that extension is A Good Thing ... although if things keep going like this, it won't matter anyway. We need input from more people. I myself don't have much more to add until I've heard from more of you guys.

Well, YYC will probably post in a couple of hours. Who knows when/if Pigg will get on today.

I wouldn't put too much faith in VH joining us even by the end of the weekend...

Ok i will be looking for replacements for Antipathy & SurveySays

Deadline is now Monday 3rd September 6pm GMT+1 (first day of college)
The trouble with learning from experience is that the test comes first and the lesson afterwards.

This isn't looking too good. Looks like the extension isn't doing too much good.

Why won't you people post? :x
I want to concentrate on playing one game at a time so I'm not available for replacements. If this changes I will change this sig accordingly.

we can't really have a deadline without 2 people here. SPAG, could you please like, postpone the deadline until replacements are found, then give us 48 hours from that point?

I guess I'm just waiting to respond to what others say at this point. I don't really have anything entirely original to contribute that I already haven't. I agree, it'd be great to have the extension go until a day or two AFTER we get replacements.

I've been waiting for the replacements and I agree we should extend until 48 hours after they're in. If the deadline is going to stay at today then we need to do something. Unfortunately, other that some lame meta-game reasons, I don't feel like I have a good idea on who to lynch. Today is a holiday in the U.S., so it's going to be difficult for me to check in. I'll try to check in later, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.

SPAG is currently awol. Once we get him back, things will go better.

Still, a little more of a contribution after a week away would probably help curb that, don't you think?

Well, the bright side is that if SPAG isn't here, he can't enforce a deadline. Heh.

Alright chaps.

I'm happy to be backup mod here, with a few issues to resolve first off.

Can everyone who's still involved and keen on playing PM your roles. In the meantime I'll try and get hold of SPAG, replacements what not.

I see there's a deadline in place, consider it paused until further notice.

Alright chaps. I've sent a couple of PMs to Sean via here and email. Hopefully he'll respond asap and I can just act as backup mod. In meantime we'll try and keep things moving - so far I've got 5 roles, need another 6. I'm gonna give em another 24 hours before I look for replacements.

Okay roles received from 7 of you.

I'm gonna look for replacements for - YYCguy, SurveySays, VampanezeHunter, Antipathy. Obviously if any of these 4 re-appear and want to play then it won't be an issue.

I'm still chasing up SPAG.

Once all replacements are in, I will set a deadline - being as it's "speed" theme mafia. It will be one week from when I set it. Ok guys.

Before SPAG is removed, he'll get 72 hours to reclaim the game he waited so long in line to mod. I'll do what I can to track him down.

I'm very fine with that. I don't even mind him reclaiming it after he shows up again. I just don't want it abandoned. (I promised my wife that I wouldn't start any new games for awhile to curb my addiction. :) )

Ok as per the above, we've got a 72 hour delay, hopefully in that time those who need replacing will get in touch or I can dig up some replacements even if SPAG returns.
