jTWG LXVI: Battle Hydras!

[thesunfan]

I hope Manti clarifies so that we're sure

[Charles Claythorne]

Charu seems Human to me given his reaction to Vendetta21's "soft claim," as well as his sass towards me when I asked about his concern.

Halogen's post regarding the Seer soft claim strategy also seems Human to me. Also, his joke post here; a friend of mine on another forum compiled a statistic on whether Humans or Wolves were more likely to joke claim Wolf and Humans tended to do so significantly more than Wolves. Granted, the sample size was rather small and the forum being a different population would imply the result be different here, but good enough for Day 1 for me. His post of concern regarding the Seer is primarily why I feel he's Human anyway.

danceflash is the cutest TWGer ever and I would have figured Vendetta21 might have been more clear about posting in the thread if he were Wolf. Leaning Human.

Vendetta21 mentioned this and I agree with his reasoning; choof's post here reflecting his confusion about 15 pages into the game seems Human to me.


Current suspicion is on Gradiant and Toxophilis. His blind suspicion seems artificial to me. He explained his reasoning here, but I don't see why he would be compelled to make a vote in that case.

Day ends at the End of day wednesday, not the beginning.

Sorry, I'l clarify/update.

Since we're starting to near closer to the phase end, I'll give a synopsis of notables in my eyes:

- Vendetta's role claim was a bit of a stretch for me; despite the explanation, I still have my problems with the intent because of the potential crippling result. The strategy might have worked, though. Him rescinding the result makes him an ideal target if he's not a wolf, and if he shows green, the seer will live. I now understand the concept after examining it a bit more holistically -- thanks j-rodd

- As mentioned before, j-rodd's also showing up pretty strong green for me too. While his lock/clear, super-village calls are obnoxious, I feel like he's doing it deliberately to induce a particular reaction. If a train is started on j-rodd and he flips green, it would be safe to say that the leader of that train is one of the two wolf hydras.

- Charu's general concern about the claim actually came before my post, and he shared a relatively similar reaction, so I obviously have no qualms there.

- thesunfan's reaction to Charu bothers me a little bit; I understand deriving some results from personal experience, but the sequence of posts:

Charu's response is appropriate here: thesunfan (correctly) mentions that I don't soft-claim, but Charu's post and my post do coincide with one another and the reaction is a bit ridiculous given that it is a situation that could have crippled given a counter-claim by the actual seer.

I'd really like if you could address the end of the last of the four posts I've quoted, thesunfan: I know you mention that it's in your opinion, but as mentioned before - this is something that could have really hurt the town and I fail to see how Charu's reaction is bad play here.

Finally: we definitely need more newbie activity in this thread -- where are you guys?

*nods* like what I see

hi AJ

[Charles Claythorne]

Yeah, new Players should post more! It's okay to have a weak suspicion or opinion and not be confident about it, but that's usually how Day 1's work. One of my concerns about the Hydra game was that veterans would dominate more and new Players wouldn't participate as much, so don't make that a reality!!!

hey samurai you know sunfan's alignment right? mind telling me what it is

Did you just diss yourself? Clearly you must be a.....sheep

[Vendetta21]

Hey tc_halogen your opinion shift on jrodd doesn't quite make sense to me but I think that's because you really didn't make it clear? Or maybe I misunderstood your original opinion on jrodd? Thx

I actually mentioned a bit earlier in the thread that I thought j-rodd's posting implicated a green read earlier (see here and here); I perceived his constant mention of being completely cleared as a villager a bait of sorts to attract some sort of tunneling -- if he gets tunneled and flips green, obviously the one who pushed in that case is really suspicious.

I have problems believing that a wolf is going to try so hard to put attention on themselves in a situation where there are only two wolves (and moreso when there's no wolves with special abilities), which is why I mentioned that it was either a really solid green, or a wolf playing a sick meta-game.
