Lurk
From Epicmafia
- To lurk means a player is watching the game, though speaking rarely.
- Active lurking means a player is watching the game and being somewhat active in the chat, but contributing nothing to the conversation.
Active lurking (not to be confused with regular lurking) can be interpreted as a scumtell, though it is not always one. Lurking can also be interpreted as a towntell.
Most new players lurk because they are inexperienced and do not yet know how to play the game well. This can lead to a mistaken lynch, and in worse cases, a loss for the town. Active lurking is more likely as an inexperienced mafia member.
