Who isn't answering questions - Edit 1

Before modification by Isaac at 18/06/2010 01:35:47 AM

This is not to force those people into answering or accuse them by absence of answer, mostly as a reminder as well as so if I've left anyone off they can point out where they did answer and I missed it. However, keep in mind that this route is probably going to be where we get our lynch off of and not answering can serve as convenient cover for DFs who don't want to answer. I really do encourage answers, even if it's flat refusals or modified answers.

Everyone answered gender and MRE/MCS and almost everyone for settings. So we've got really just the current two questions, Consistency and Heroism, CON and HDG respectively on the tables. Here is who hasn't answered CON, or at least I haven't seen answer:

Consistent Character - 7
Amys
Artsapat
Beetnemesis
Fox and Ravens
Hobo
Talic
Yunelesca

Heroic Tendency - 9
Amys
Artsapat
BlackAdder
Fox and Ravens
Hobo
Kronin
Kylia
Napoleon
Talic
White Flame

Neither
Amys - also didn't answer settings
Artsapat
Fox and Ravens
Hobo
Talic

Now we currently have 15 players, with Blaine gone, but as noticed, many others are inactive or near inactive.

Amys and Talic both last posted 10 days ago, on the 7th of June, whereas Fox and Artsapat have continued posting regularly. Hobo last posted a hair under 72 hours ago. Realistically, while I hope they return, I suspect Amys and Talic are both bound for modkill and substitution, thus not interesting to me for their deficiency in answering anymore than Blaine is. Currently only myself and Darth Katie have answered every question, I'd really like to add to that list of two because I think this is where we'll get our info not just for today's lynch but good solid ones down the road. I also hope everyone will continue to pick their brains for more questions, while many have declined or modified the pledge to give incentive to that, currently enough have pledged that with our inactives a lynch of you if you make a good question is very improbable, basically only going to happen if you dance around after the question saying "I'm a DF, I'm a DF".

My opinion, based off the current situation and many prior games, is that if the questions get answered, we'll have at least one good candidate for lynch - this is not a rare thing, many day 1's have ended with very solidly based lynches of darkfriends, about half the town victories really - and that if we don't get that, the blame will fall to those who have been viewed as close-mouthed or obstructionist. We basically have 13 players remaining, I count Blaine as out obviously, but also Talic and Amys, though I hope they do return. I don't believe our info on any of these players shifts them beyond flat-random to be guilty or innocent, and they'll basically in the holding pen to be modkilled and replaced, better to interrogate their replacement then blow a lynch in a random manner, on average your highest rate of disappearance from new or relatively new players is vanilla townies anyway. So if we don't get our answers to produce an informed lynch, I'd say odds favor the lynch would fall to someone who has been seen as obstructionist. That is to say, didn't just not answer questions but put up a fight without giving an explanation for why not to answer that others could use. Essentially a 'I don't want to answer that' as opposed to 'I think no one should answer that and here's why...'.
