I think I made it worse...this isn't one of my proudest moments.

I'm assuming he responded to sunfan jokingly when he said that, but I wasn't 100% confident that that was supposed to be a joke.

tbh the phrasing in your original post suggested anyone could answer

so i did

[reuben_tate]

Sorry, I didn't mean to discredit your interpretation of roundbox's words. It's just that your response was said as if you were speaking on roundbox's behalf (as opposed to sharing your interpretation). Dunno if that makes sense.

[MixMasterLar]

Nope, does not

[MixMasterLar]

I'll commit to being here a few hours before EoD tomorrow night to play.

Will probably pop in throughout the day but no promises on the before 7CST stuff

i guess jokes aren't really objective but yes i am of the opinion there is a joke involved in roundbox's post

?_?

I'm thinking MML may be responding to when I said "your response was said as if you were speaking on roundbox's behalf" which is a fair. I was having trouble articulating exactly what I wanted to say (since I did want input from others as well but something bugged me about your post). I guess I just wanted something a bit more substantial than just "yes, it's a joke". In hindsight though, I suppose it's a bit much to provide evidence that someone else was joking.

[reuben_tate]

meant to say "which is a fair assessment"*

[reuben_tate]

Hmm...

I don't really agree with this, mostly the mad for dumb reasons part

can I get a pass too

idk

now that I've said this I'm not really sure where I'm going with this

:thinking:

you respond in kind

he says that's not what he's looking for, but then you joke with him some more and it's all good?

brb hat

fwiw I didn't find that exchange awk. I kind of see where you're coming from but that early into d0 it's too hard to tell for me. I'll keep this in my notes though for later on.

I've been told I have poor social skills though so maybe the awk is passing through me like neutrinos

As IC he is the only one we know who won't have to filter info from their thoughts; seeing as how he'll likely be targeted first it would be nice if he made an effort to just spam the shit out of the page so town and legit bounce ideas and compare to him. It's a great asset to have

This felt a bit... obvious I guess? I'm sure you meant well but I don't think Gradiant needs prompting of his role to say the least.

blind jumping in on this after felt innocuous to me though

Took this as another take on common responses (ie Freezin, SunFan have used variations of this in games)


Took this as a take on people who get easily triggered (examples retacted)

[...]

I don't know guys that's a lot of little things (mostly on WV admittedly) that look kind of fucking awk to me

Bolded: I'm not sure where you are referencing this, but the statement reuben is quoting here also confused me as well. If it is some bill wurtz reference then I guess we both missed it

Underlined: Where were you trying to go with this exactly? I pretty much glossed over that post completely. More specifically why did that post make you feel WV was awk?

I had a stressful semester (first semester of grad school). But it just finished and it's been forever since I've played TWG, so I'm hoping to actually give an honest attempt at playing the game this time around. Since the semester finished, I intend to have time to properly keep up with the game instead (instead of what I usually do which is not keep up with the game and become overwhelmed with how far behind I am which has been a terrible move on my part in the past).

grats on your first semester.

If it's not a joke...then why would he discuss the setup only to encourage others to not discuss setup. Doing that seems only like "a waste of time"

I interpreted it as both factual and joking. "thanks captain obvious" tier joke. The addition about not talking about setup appears more like a "woops I fucked up" kind of post. All we know is M or MMM anyway there's not much to discuss.

I'm extremely tempted to post 4 times to tempt fate but I'll probably chicken out tmrw

If it's the latter, I would find that hard to believe.

I just thought the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was dumb. Then you said that stuff about being serious after my vote and i thought it was weird.

[Funnygurl555]

pg 8 so far, om a phone so this is gonna be 2 short lol...

i like ind and mml, will say y once laptop... also haven't played with reuben in years but im surprised at the shitposts they're funny but unexpected

I'm trying to remember when you actually got a wolf like this. I can't. I'm super tempted to go back and look at all your games and count how many mislynches you caused actually.

Freezin jumps to mind. Actually in that first game you guys played your vagueness and hot temper got him mislynched AND outed your blue role.

Actually now that I'm typing maybe WolfMasterLar could prod you to blue hunt like this so you might have a point......Except I know you didn't put any thought into this.

More overreacting and overexaggerating because i simply pointed out that complaining that i haven't posted enough when again, it wasn't halfway through the very first phase, is a bit scummy to me. You can't pretend that 'you're using more of your brain than me' when you don't seem to be getting that first point that i'm making.

[Gradiant]

Just because you can't remember me lynching a wolf or whatever doesn't mean that i can't place votes for what I think is scummy behavior. And it isn't my fault if you overreact to that making me solidify my opinion

How would you feel if it is/is not a joke? Seems like you would be more suspicious of rb if he meant it seriously?
