In my opinion a character who has no active role in a community can’t actively pwn it. Terrible idea.

I have to agree. I’ve thought about it before and all though it certainly is a ubiquitous presence on the internet, it just doesn’t fit well with the game operations for FW.

In a way hackers sort of fulfill the role as lurkers. Also idea just doesn’t fit with FW for the reasons mentioned above.

I like this idea, though it should likely be a challenge clbum and could never speed run.

Attacks could be timed or be related to lurking.

-Attack “Send Private Message” player send mysterious private message

-Attack “Barge into conversation” user acts like he knows what is going on

They could use the same slots as permanoobs and pwn forums by staying there for extended periods of time, such as having an attack that says move to next thread

I like the attacks that involve doing something that enemies would actually perceive, although I don’t know if there’s really enough to fill an attack tree. Also, as someone else said, Hackers largely lurk already. I think this would have worked better than Permanoob as the challenge clbum, but it’s too late for that. Maybe the Lurker could have connections with Anonymous?

Attack ideas:

-Chanology Rant: Bash Saiyantology

-Me Too: Make a useless post that adds nothing to the thread

-Derail: Change the subject

EDIT:

bad idea, lurkers can’t damage threads.

Terrible idea imo. Lurkers don’t post, hence they don’t annoy the regular posters, hence they can’y pwn.
