Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

See, now what I thought was being sought after me was a reads list of some sort. That one was my fault for jumping the gun (though it was indeed joke centered, and I'll admit to my fault of not checking before posting.) There are quite a few concerns that I don't know how to express because I just can't seem to figure out a couple things.

1. How on Earth can someone pluck out reads so early into the game?
2. Is it normal to become paranoid of being the center of a mislynch because you JUST aren't sure which direction the game is going, which results in inactivity, which results in town thinking you're a wolf, which results in votes against you.

I'm here to help but it could possibly be too late right now with my little shitreads list.

Pretty much just you (and obviously the inno).

I have other strong feelings but not like circle level feelings. Now is not really the time for me to be writing about this, I think I should sleep.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

In a perfect game you can't. But people aren't perfect and some interesting interactions have occurred. You could also talk about the (at least) 2 significant mechanical things that have happened (which is more than most games).

And yes. I'm still paranoid about that kind of thing, and I don't think I can call myself a beginner anymore.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

imo you're not even close to the lynch rn. way too early

just talk to people, ask questions, remember how people played last game and compare it to how they're playing now. you'll get it. it's hard at first and that's ok

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

I think I'm in overload right now and I'm overthinking the game. If I come down from the overload and get back into this with a clear head I should be able to produce some info. I completely forgot about previous games being a part of how to read people.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

you got time. :P it's like everyone's bedtime now anyway

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

this sounds a lot more like someone trying to fish out possible info on a linked town than someone just curious about the mechanics of the game. kinda FISHY

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

By identifying posting patterns that tends to appear more as a wolf player.
By using previous experience of the game.
By asking questions to other players about why they see things a certain way.
By comparing how others are drawing a picture of the game compared to how you see the game.
e.g: This person is saying things that doesn't make sense to me. Is it because of previous experience, mechanical reasons or because they know too much information from being a wolf ? etc.

Mechanical lynches happens before gut reads and bad plays because players have to counter verify if you're playing badly as town vs if you're being wolfy. Soundwave is in bigger danger than you because I committed myself on voting him based on night actions. So, you have little reason to be paranoid at this very moment. Your focus should be on identifying who's likely to be a town buddy for now because you'll probably want people to rely on for votes, but also you need second opinions to evaluate players and put together the game.

Your read list didn't scream wolf; it just felt like it accomplished nothing.

Your read list would scream wolf if it tried to push the game in a certain direction that doesn't feel right.

The problem with that mentality tho is that wolves tend to try to do what town think is right by abusing their additional knowledge of knowing who is town and "who to trust" etc.

Here's a little example:

I got triple town read.

I do agree with them that I'm town.
I cannot fully trust them at this point.

Funnygurl555 and Sunfan also seemed to believe you were town.
It makes me want to believe you're town too.
I'll have to reevaluate Funnygurl555/Sunfan in relation to you to figure out if I'm talking with 3 town players.

So, do you guys think Sunfan/Funnygurl555 are town based on iso etc. ?

Why are we lynching xiz

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

ps: why is that a thing.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

you can tell the truth about what you received at night and still be a wolf imo. that's why i thought the whole thing wasn't alignment indicative

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

why shouldn't he be paranoid just because you aren't voting him? granted it's still early and he shouldn't be worried anyway unless he's a wolf and doesn't know what to say and he feels like he's sticking out but that's neither here nor there right now.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]
 

I think lynching wolves is better than lynching potential wolves.
