Apologies BigMcLarge-Huge but I don't have time to be sitting on a forum playing
spooky werewolferines every hour of every day. I was under the impression that it is perfectly acceptable to sit around and see what happens - there's certainly no stipulation to make inane posts with every passing hour. If you desire to shorten the player list, by all means vote to lynch me.
So obviously you're reading along, that's at least good to know. But please don't act as if I said something about every hour of every day. There's a few vets who usually post a lot more and have consciously reduced their activity so that it's easier for new players to follow along. But this reaction to my posting was your second post in the whole game (unless I missed a one-liner somewhere). If we apply that logic to everybody, how do you expect this game to run? This is not about "spooky werewolferines" or something, it's just as silly or trivial as any other game you might play. But it's something you signed up for and that means you should have at least a vague interest in playing this game.
Honestly, why do people have to take it to the extremes? Is there no healthy middle ground between "one post a week" and "inane posts with every passing hour"? Show me where I've expected one of the two things from you, and I'll gladly show you how you've been guilty of the other.
Also, like Orgasmo said...the rules state quite clearly people should strive for one post every 24 hours. That's not a new rule. It's been there since forever. Even if you're busy (yes, I am busy, too), you can at least drop in to say "hi" and "sorry, I'm busy" or something. Just sitting back won't get us anywhere. Don't take this as an attack, but just as a way to maybe help you guys how to play this game, because that's partially why we vets are allowed in this game - to help you out. But helping you out doesn't mean to babysit everybody, because in the end we all get so caught up in being nice to each other that no hunting happens.

I'm not sure whether the appropriate reaction would be:
...or to be happy you actually did something.
So just to be clear...so far the best suspicions have been that Bowser is a wolf because he uses green comic sans, and I am a wolf because I say that some of the new guys could be a bit more proactive? Awesome!

Forty eight hours, actually.
And I have so far managed to fulfill that obligation owing that I was otherwise engaged up until last Thursday.
OK, so it's 48. That's the minimum. You defend yourself by saying you've done the absolute minimum necessary not to be disqualified. I don't know, but to me this doesn't sound like how I'd play a game to begin with. Unless you are a wolf, maybe...
