There is a difference though, you don't have to vote for them and lean heavy on them, just ask them lots of questions. Engage them as much as possible.
But voting them is more fun as long as it comes with the Q&A. I agree that if they just get wagoned they also shrink up usually, which isn't good.
Pressure is the key baby. You get such a better reaction. I kind of like when noobs get indignant and retaliate-vote whoever votes them. I don't like it when experienced players do though.
(that wasn't some creepy "hey baby" kind of baby. I would have said that to anyone, not just ppl faking they are a girl on the interwebs.)
In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!
I love that we are pressuring the newer players. This is how we get them to post. This is how we get a read on them. There's nothing worse for a newer player than to be ignored. They start to feel like they don't have a voice, they fall into the background, they then post less and they then get mislynched because they are UTR and sound wolfy.
You're right about my role but in fairness I started playing this game live ten years ago and was always pressuring people I knew to play it with me in any large setting. I have probably played 5x more games as narrator/mod than anything else. The most fascinating thing about the game for me was always watching people's initial reactions to what others are saying which when behind a computer is obv lost. Is it bad that I'm playing now with an eye on improving my general skills at critical reading? In my mind it's kind of akin to taking practice LSATs (which I also love to do) even though there's no chance in hell I would ever go to law school.

I taught LSAT for Kaplan, I understand this.
It's not weird to turn thus into a critical reading and reading comprehension game. Gotta spot incentives and compare them to statements. Name of the game.
- To prove I have a wolf, I am going to use a quote from an ongoing game. - The quote is from a player who is dead in that game.
- That player's role has been revealed in that game and that player's role in that game is relevant to the comparison I am going to make in this game.
- I did not play in that other game, have no knowledge of anything going on in that game, don't care about that other game and will not be talking about that other ongoing game in any way.
- I am simply going to post a D1 quote from that game that shows, without a doubt, what that player's role is in this game.
- Me posting the quote will not affect anything in the other ongoing game - at all.

Never have played live. But i know I would NOT be happy to be a wolf in that situation. Your body and eyes would soooo betray you.

So, can I post it?
I'd rule that you can link it and explain the comparison to this game, but the other player is gonna be pretty stuck re: explaining the other game post in context.
