[GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXII Holiday Special

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

Actually let's continue this conversation for a sec.

What is the mechanical advantage of having a peaceful, no lynch day versus everyone getting riled up and having to make a stance with a vote. A stance that can be traced, a stand that can be referenced, a stance that has to gel with future posts which is far FAR easier for town then it is for wolves.

You can also ask yourself what is more beneficial to town out of these two extremes: No one posting save DBP posting OSTs and me posting memes about my long hair or having everyone post nonstop off the top of their heads anger included?

Standard best practice is that the more you have to study the easier to figure out alignments. It's why wolves either don't post as often or will be more likely to post fluff/not commit hard to anything. (Exceptions do apply, but as a standard rule this has always held true)

So what action on d0 can you get to get people talking/be willing to post hot takes in reaction to events? Make everyone lynch someone. Force them into that stance. Force them to make one so that there's something to pry, ask about, and check against future actions.

When you basically do nothing you allow wolves to run shotgun and there's very little to separate people's posts.

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

btw tomorrow a few hours before EoD we should hold a voice call on discord. Is there anybody who CANNOT do this tomorrow 2 hours before EOD?

Sadly I’m at my drill and have been since the game started (usually it’s the first Friday-Sunday of each month) but I didn’t anticipate this happening when I signed up because it was like a few weeks ago and I honestly thought we’d start sooner. :/ It sucks, but I don’t think I’ll be able to participate, I’ve got disc on my phone (and am even posting from it) but I likely can’t do anything prolonged bc we’re going to the range and I’ll be around my unit until like 7pm EST probably, which I think is at or around the end of day. I’ll try to jump in if I got reception and time though it’ll probably be noisy.

Tbh if we had replacements I would have replaced just because I know this is inconvenient to work around, really sorry.

I also have like no hard reads rn but I grudgingly concede no lynch probably isn’t the way to go. I guess I can try to rally some inactives by voting, so wya wv/Charu (idc which, just whichever has less votes I guess). Also I think it’s cute thesunfan voted for fg after declaring his love for funnier6 and after she voted for the same. That’s not no reason, thesunfan, it’s love ❤️

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

The only person with a single town-like thought is Antori and that's only because I've seen this line of thinking exactly as before.

Everyone else kind of hopping on him like flies telling him it's not a good strat (it really isn't) makes me think it's a stinky woof cashing in help points to look like they did something.

[Charu]

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

I would have to cross check games, but if you've played with Antori before and are telling him off, then I'm on to you.

If you haven't, then that's a bit better and I'd assume your intentions are more pure.

I'm violently against this

Not because the chatting, but it leads to those not in the call being offed

That said, I can be there.

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

That's what I like to call making alliances, it's as dumb as it sounds and is one of the many reasons I don't much care for OOTC. However, it's a double edge sword and can very easily be the undoing of us townies.

Considering how quickly the game started and all, no one can really blame you.

YES.

FFR frowns upon quotes within quotes just as a site principle. You can manually put them back in and they'll work but there's little reason to actually do it. If you need to show a back and forth to make a point then what I do is just muti-quote 'em.

You can argue that Antori is town for the thought, you can not argue that it's a town-like thought because it isn't. No Lynch d0 only benefits wolves.

People explaining that to him probably aren't doing it for town cred they are probably wanting him to play the game properly since it took us forever to even get a game. Not sure where you can point fingers at in this case.

It's dumb as it sounds

I don't much care

However

double edge sword

easily be the undoing of us townies

--
There's an consistency problem here I feel. Like are you saying it helps town and you don't like but hey the upset is that it can also lead to it's undoing?

Re: [GAME THREAD] FFRTWG CLXXXI Holiday Special

I don't see any problems with a voice call

Alliances are part of this type of game. We already had a smaller voice chat yesterday where we reflected on past TWGs with voice calls and how wolves were always infiltrating. We're not going to go that route again where we clear people just for being in the call.

what are y'all afraid of hmmmmmmmmm
