TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

[TWG Apollo]

Still rereading through the thread so if you've answered that question or similar question later on I haven't seen it yet

[TWG Flurry]

In that regard, I think RB -> Boomer + attempt to find Blocker (still Boomer if that fails) is ideal.

[TWG Flurry]

Feels like my attention was splitting into being negative about how both Chief and Molly looked town in EoD with nothing interesting to vote.
I got on the Chrissy wagon because of it, but I wasn't confident in any sort of traction so, I moved back to Chief hoping I was wrong.

[TWG Punchy]

You ever expend a ton of effort on reading three people, only to have two of them flip town and the third one to be replaced? It hurts, mrmpht. It hurts a ton. I still defend my Chief vote. It's one of those "better that this slot is gone and I can focus on other things in the game" kind of votes.

I guess that would make Punchy look a little bit worse for his swap onto Chief

Wowee, I'm glad people took that vote seriously! I was moving off of Del, mrmpht. Chief was in my wheelhouse, it's not like I swapped off of Del.

i also think i got saved last night and wolves targeted me in hopes that doc couldn't.

Drugs??
I only jest, of course.

This is why it seems outlandish to think wolves stacked on Molly. If wolves stacked on Molly, I'm giving up ramen for a year. And Boomer, since I know you read my posts in detail, I'm not giving up my flavour. No how, no way!!

Flurry, your brain is in another dimension, I'd say.

Wasn't this a huge discussion the day before? I'm pretty sure this was discussed yesterday. Are the wolves that braindead that the missed this entire dicussion? Methinks not, mrmpht.

No, I'm with you. I'll have to reread the pacing, but if Maple expected someone to pick that up in such a heated moment of pressure, I think they're thinking too big-brained about it.

How has Eugene had bad mechanical play? I don't follow, mrmpht.

In good and bad news, good old COVID has disrupted my life significantly. More stir-crazy time for me, but that means more TWG at late night! I'm gonna be burning that midnight oil, mrmpht!

:v

Do you think this would be enough to pull the trigger on molly? It's easier to say yes when you know Molly is the blocker but would this have been enough before the flip?

[TWG Punchy]

Yeah, looking back, Maple only gave Julian 15 minutes to parse that string of their intention to fake claim.
This can be done either alignment, but I think Maple got that "BIG PLAY" on the mind and blew her salvo quickly. If I had to choose, that's a more towny-flavoured play. Was it good? I think we could have got more out of Julian being pressured and then him claiming (or even not, who knows how day would have gone), so I don't think it was very good at all.

Flurry, you mentioned that thing about poorly mechanical plays, do you think Maple fits this now, mrmpht?

Yeah, but I can't deny that town can do a poor mechanical play.

I think you missed what I was asking here, mrmpht. Do you have the same vibes on Maple that you do on Eugene (strong tone, poor mechanical play)? And you might have missed it in my post, but what has Eugene done that makes his play mechanically poor?

He said things that I considered role hunting, but people discarded it.
That'd be about it. The rest was very reactionary.

[TWG Flurry]

Maple is a different kind of weird because fake claim doesn't compare with random jabs.

[TWG Flurry]

It does accomplish the same bad thing.

[TWG Apollo]

Eugene if it was between Julian and Eugene that Molly had to chose from and with Julian flipping town I think this is the way to go. Unless the nk was stacked with boomers shot but I really don't think that's what happened last night

[TWG Flurry]

I just want to lynch Apollo for thinking that blocker really stopped a NK tbh.

Their head is definitely somewhere. In another galaxy, I presume.
Has anyone considered the wolves might have had a kill assigned on Mathilda? I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread caught that soft. Would it be a soft at that point if everyone noticed it, or would it become non-Newtonian?

Okay, what about Maple? You still haven't answered my entire question, mrmpht!

[TWG Punchy]

Took too long to type that post, my bad, Flurry!

[TWG Flurry]

You guys are banking way too hard on information that is not confirmed.

Please be my guest

[TWG Flurry]

Well, I voted Tank because he was absent, but I may as well.

Then where did the other kill go? I know I said random speculating is dumb the last two phases, but Molly being the wolf kill? I just don't see it at all.

There's always the "fuck it" route and that the wolves were AFK, but I would say that's only slightly more plausible than wolves stacking Molly, mrmpht.

It's a stack on Molly because they figured Molly was the blocker. Stop thinking it's impossible please.
