[Wayward Vagabond]

Haku WHAT are your thoughts on building a town circle and who would be the founding members of your town circle for this game

[Wayward Vagabond]

Iphones are dumb and I don't know why what was bolded

That's pretty much it

what do you think about WV?

I find it hard to believe that you thought my first post was serious and that my vote on wolfE was serious when you continued to joke about me referring to him as a cute lil lab and how I could hate dogs or something like that

Sorry to hear that. Hope it's mild and you feel better soon.

I guess the fact that he used actual reasoning instead of the standard meme vote where you just throw out a name. Those type of meme votes are pretty meaningless, but if he puts reasoning he can point back to it later in the game.

Idk I'm not putting much stake into this opinion but yeah

Like this is p weak. What would I gain in the future from saying wolfE was being too happy to be playing and that was very Labrador of him.

This is probably the most town FFA post I've seen the entire game so far

We've spent a good amount of time talking out of games about that and general stats and wolfing at etc. The first game she wolfed went pretty badly for her iirc, but she learned and got better and played a really solid wolf her second time around (if my memory serves, I could be wrong). I have no idea what that meta actually looks like because I haven't seen it firsthand though, so my read on her is still developing

With all that said, I don't think star is a wolf here. The feel I'm getting is too familiar to her town games. But to answer the question, yes I think she would. I even think she would agree that she would, not that self analyses mean anything in twg. It's just... Why wouldn't any wolf take an easy push to establish scumhunting points early on with a target that is being extremely questionable and the push is then easily justified?

One of the few things we don't agree on

I'm either dumb or I cannot read, or probably both in this instance.

I can finally answer this. Star felt like they were tunneling on haku and haku being haku made it easy to dig a hole. I'm not sure if the pressure star was putting on haku was coming from a genuine place or because they know haku breaks down easily regardless of alignment when pressed the way star did.

In hakus big post I hugely disagree with their read on shadow. Aside from star being WEIRD I think shadow playing the way he is makes me think he's trying to be active enough to not be singled out but not enough to slip or incriminate his partners if wolf

I realize this is a pointless question now because haku I don't think will be back by EOD

Totally asking for a friend.

I'm gonna post a generally not thought-out, just based on hunches and minimal evidence reads list:

mellon_collie - raeko is acting like she usually does, nothing out of character fmpov

_Zenith_ - don't have hardly any info yet, so null for now

Lewdy - i also don't see lewdy as super out of character here, but he is posting much less than usual. i can buy his "trying to not be overbearing like usual" excuse but for now, this leaves me at only a slight town lean.

Wayward Vagabond - i'm not sure yet but my gut says town. needs more investigation on my end.

bugkid666 - sick

Hakulyte - haku seems to be acting like haku. nothing drastically out of character.


XelNya

You feel too much like a model citizen. This is good for TWG overall, but I feel like you'd be more prone to do that as W than T.
Also, I wasn't a fan of the "picture only" moment. It feels like you had an idea for how to play and reconsidered for some reasons. I'm conflicted in both how you behave and play.
I could take a guess, but I feel like any assumption I might have is counter by "could just be wolfing tho".

I actually totally agree with this. Xel is the type to continue the shtick regardless of whether or not it is helpful to town, as a townie. don't know if this inherently implies wolfy, but it felt weird to me before haku pointed it out.

ShadoWolfe - this is only a slight wolfy read because of the way he immediately jumped on my post trying to say i HAD to be town based on my bad take, despite me saying it was a weak take in my og post. probably will not vote for him today unless he says something insane, but will keep this in mind as we move along.

flashflash account - shady bug deal requires me to town read today. (but seriously, not acting particularly different than usual)

star_crossed - i don't remember how star plays as a wolf or as a town. she's certainly trying to be helpful and pulling most of the weight in terms of investigation, but that doesnt mean she's town imo. not sure yet, but leaning more town than wolf atm.

DaBackpack - this is only slight as well, especially considering i know this man has been dead asleep for 24 hours which is why he isn't posting. but also i feel like if he were town, he'd be a little more interested in nitpicking or at least actively observing despite it being d0. if he's a PR or a wolf, i imagine he would not necessarily feel as pressured to make informed posts just yet. maybe this is bullshit, idk how to read him in twg yet. (implying i know how to read anyone which i don't)

that's it for now. soup time.

[bugkid666]

none of the above are votes yet btw, they're just colored

[Wayward Vagabond]

1. mellon_collie - not enough to really point me one way or the other. I didn't like how she approached my intro post and vote

2. _Zenith_ - not even anything

3. Shadow_God_10 - wolf lean just based on activity and excuses for activity

4. Wayward Vagabond - town pr lynch me you coward nerds

5. bugkid666 - haven't read enough from them and what they have said I kind of have to piggy back on labbywolfE and say that their suspicion on caps is more likely to come from town than wolf

6. Hakulyte - hard for me not to see him as town esp after his long post

7. XelNya - meme McQueen over here being NULL

8. ShadoWolfe - Town and if I'm wrong we are never going to therapy to fix this relationship that you ABUSED

9. flashflash account - Probably town and until I see anything weird coming from him I don't see me voting for him esp today

10. star_crossed - something's seems off like uncanny valley kind of off

11. DaBackpack - wolf just because I'm still angry about being used

[Wayward Vagabond]

Finally got my dumplings time to go home

I think you view FFA more firmly town then I do. You seem to be like 90% there and I'm closer to 75%

Star yeah our reads seem to differ but I'm about 80% there on her

Raeko I think you can help me put in perspective. I've been wrong on her more often than I've been right, but this game I have been generally happier with her than usual. I guess I need to see more to come to any meaningful conclusion but she's seemed..relaxed? this game and I think that's good.

DBP I imagine will come back two hours before EoD and give me something to better read him off of. My vote there is a placeholder atm in lieu of better options and zenith chiming in

Haku I think we agree pretty closely on. I think his entrance was not good, but I felt like his reactions under pressure were par for expectations and further pressure was not needed or necessarily helpful. I'm leaning towards that direction pending DBP's input and whatever comes out of shadow and bugkid and zenith

shadow I need to look at more closely is all I can say. I remember in looking at postcount I was very surprised that he had much more posts than my perception of his thread presence, so he's a question mark until I do so

Bugkid is interesting because the only AI thing I've really read there was their take on my phone capitalization, so I feel like I'll have to rely on their forthcoming analyses and people who have played with them to get a deeper read, but they seem ok thus far

But Xel is another point where I think we may differ. I liked his most recent couple of posts and am disinclined to lynch there pending EoD events and Xel's own followups

Sorry this started as thinking of where else we might disagree but ended up being a summary of arbitrary thoughts

[ShadoWolfe]

Oh snap two reads lists since I started typing?
