We had what is increasingly looking like a trio of town wagons on D1 that just never went away, with an impressive seven seconds until deadline exiling joth.
Then our groot died overnight but I think that was just scum shooting an engaged player not an intentional shot at the tree (who I think was the doc?). Either way it's not great.
Now we're on D2 and most folks agree we need to review new players but there seems to be a low motivation to move forward.
I think we need to XAL, personally. If I were scum and play were this slow I'd be happy to just minimally post and not push the game very hard.
XAL? (I get that XAL may be be replacing LAL, but I wouldn't know what that meant anyway)
exile all lurkers. Which in this game is a majority of the roster, unfortunately self included today. I've had a tunnel of a scum read on MiX and have been rereading and have just been struggling to get a read on anyone apart from that scumread. I'll try reading back again, maybe do an iso on a couple different people to figure out what alternatives there are to MiX, although frankly I would still very much be on board with an exile there. I think some of the push away from the D1 wagons could actually be partners pushing us away from that.
Also, I saw this looking over the setup again earlier, but scum has daychat, which could also partially contribute to the lack of in-thread conversations. I've never been scum in a game that had that, so I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to be active in both if a person's time online is limited.
Yeah, daychat for scum is interesting.
Normally, I'd say lurking is not the best reason to exile, as I tend to get into "lurking periods" and the one time I did exile a lurker vs not (it was a 3 person Lylo), I was wrong. But, I do agree that the daychat dynamic changes thing some.
Which, WIFOM, but makes me wonder if Dylan bringing it up is an attempt to appear towny.
