Any answer is correct

I mostly planned to wing it, I ain't doing any fancy shit till I know how to do basic shit, y'know?

[_Zenith_]

As a new player, Pizza just practically challenged Funny to come up with a case on him and I definitely do not see a first-time wolf doing that.

I took the time to iso choof, and from what I see, he interacted minimally towards some players. Distancing may be a factor there, but to me it seems like certain players are off limits for now for him in prodding terms.

im gonna wait on pizza's suspicion list before i comment further on him, but choof's absence and distant attitude towards the thread is alarming, but in the past he's been able fake his normal aggressive playstyle as a wolf, so i'm not ready to peg him as a wolf for being out of character

still null for me, like most of you

You all suck.

[_Zenith_]

Where is the activity

[_Zenith_]

I'm on the floor right now and I don't want to talk to myself.

[Pizza69]

choof: Okay, admittedly I've only really seen his play from reading some of TWG 137 where he turned out to be VT, but this is not at all reminiscent of that. He's a lot more low-key, hasn't really latched on to anyone aside from a few earlier posts picking on Zenith. I've liked some of his posts, but I'm not sure I like him. Top scum right now, waiting to see what happens when he gets back

FG: She's felt odd, but apparently it's all jokes. Looks like the first thing in the thread she's actually been serious about was suspecting me, which she's been a bit wishy-washy about whether she's actually going to follow through on it. Might be scum

AA: I like him, started the game off a bit slow but brought it back. I liked his big posts. Got understandably frustrated with Zenith. Stuff after that has been decent. Idk he's just felt pretty pure to me. Leaning town

Clown: Doesn't really look like he's posted any content aside from his feels list (and also having a similar question about zenith.) He didn't delve that deep, but it looked probably fine. Null

Zenith: Goddammit I don't know. I don't like him, but I don't really feel comfortable scumreading him because I think it might just be a personal distaste for how he plays. The big thing that bugs me is how unwilling it seems he can be to accept new data points/defense at times (e.g. that fiasco with AA.) Apparently this is all normal though so I'll consider him null for now

rzr: He posted thoughts on everyone a while back, but still hasn't updated that with what alignments he thinks people are. Aside from his thoughts list, he hasn't really posted much since his clash with Zenith early on, where he seemed pretty okay. Null, slight town

Plop: He's been ultra chill. Super low-key, but I've liked the points he's made and the questions he's asked. No big interactions or anything and I lost my train of thought but I feel like I've said most of what I wanted to, leaning town

Pizza: sup

sunfan: Still seems pretty detached, might be a result of him trying to be ~unreadable~ and all that jazz. Clownpiece stuff is odd but seems jokey. Not sure why people are reading him town, I guess because of the confidence thing, but I don't really have a lean in either direction. Hyped to see his reads, probably won't be able to make a judgement call until then. Null

Okay, firstly I'd like to apologize for being rather MIA today, I think I told you guys I mostly check this at work because I have a lot of free time on a PC at work, today however was not one of those days, lol. So, I've been reading up on the thread here and there and writing offline replies to post later, which is now! I would like to ask, what is it that you guys are asking me to post? Who I think is aligned with who? Who I think is a wolf or not? I'll share any of my thoughts really, but I don't want to clutter things with my irrelevant thoughts, either.

Anyway, as much as it pains me to do this because I don't want to be arguing again, Zenith is really the top person that I'm getting a confused reading on. I mean, why would you just go at almost everyone so hard so fast? Super super town or really good wolf? I don't have a strong enough vibe on him to change my vote, but I will state that my vote for sunfan is a lot less serious now, I jut think it would be pointless to change my vote from one meh to another meh.

Pizza/Choof both seem to be aloof. Pizza seems to be trying harder to clear himself, but his initial silence makes it hard to believe. I need to quote more specifics to make my point better. But, here is everything I had been working on offline today, I have to get off soon so I want you guys to have my thoughts.

Which have all apparently been deleted.. let me try to put something together real quick.

why?

Fair question, I'd be curious at the answer myself.

For me, nobody is really null. Just different shades of green or red. But almost everyone is saying this is uncharacterstic of choof. Which throws my red flags up, no pun intended.
However, I don't have a good read on any of you because I don't know your style.
Zenith is desribed as being hostile in general, so is his aggression even something to bother going off of?
If someone can shed light on personalities for pizza/clown/myself it would be greatly appreciated.

I agree. I have no qualm with FG555 yet, but I do find it odd that there's a lot of blame pushing, but no follow up on it. Like you just wanna keep the pot stirring? Not sure.

Someone can be new and old alike and still give the same vibes. I don't understand how out of 8 other players you could possibly think one of his readings are correct, no matter how good the player is. Why is it that his tenure tells you he's correct? The 2 just don't seem linked to me, just wanna clarify.

I'd like to comment on my diplomacy. Being unfamiliar with you guys and having already got off on the wrong foot with Zenith I have been using my words carefully. I'm not worried about defending myself if you guys have suspicions about me, i just don't want to start another 4 pages of back and forth banter and we end up in the same place we started in really. So as much as I want to revert to my TGB ways, I try to just stay "user friendly."

What does this mean/why?

1. choof - weirdly quiet
2. Funnygurl555 - close to 0 useful content so yeaaah
3. AragakiAyase - wasn't around for a while but came back and was productive I guess
4. Clownpiece - It's lunatic tiiiiiiiime
5. _Zenith_ - Pissy at everyone and been after me since the beginning but I'm like 80% sure you're town
6. rzr - didn't really notice anything major from you so ???
7. MrPopadopalis25 - called me clownpee :< I think you're town too
8. Pizza69 - new and super quiet. I'm not surprised, as I was like this too in the beginning, but not this bad.
9. thesunfan - helpful and good at this so A+++

IT'S RANKING TIIIIIIIME!
idk what the real words are so I'll just use good, meh, and bad

Good:
thesunfan
MrPopadopalis25
_Zenith_
AragakiAyase
Clownpiece

Meh:
rzr
choof

Bad:
Funnygurl555
Pizza69

So I'll probably keep my vote on pizza for now...

And ugh that was awful. I usually never make suspicion lists.

Okay so my problems with this are:
A. Isn't 1 and 2 the same thing? So why aren't you suspicious of choof, but are of fg?
B. Why is sunfan helpful to you? Just because of the funny-ness at the beginning?
C. Why do you think Plop is town?
D. I'm not arguing with your read on pizza, I just want to hear more about why.


Anyway, I have to get going now so I'll try to update on my phone if you guys have any questions, I just won't be able to do big posts like this!

your vote is still on me?

[rzr]

Yeah, check my big post. I have a few leans but it would be pointless to swap one lean for another. Also, you have not answered why you voted for me.

[Funnygurl555]

I'm apprehensive about pushing any read I have because of how easy it is for me to be wrong, and I'm normally not an aggressive player anyway. And to be frank, this game is not as active as the past few games on FFR, so I feel even more lost this D0 than usual.

Pizza's reads are super safe, and I don't know whether I should peg it as wolfy or chalk it up to inexperience. Now that he's given me the green light to pursue him though, I wouldn't mind considering him for the lynch.
I don't mean my comments offensively at all, by the way. You're picking up on the game quickly, much more quickly than I had.

sunfan's being weird and unhelpful on purpose, and that shouldn't fly either. I would consider policy lynching him for that reason if he doesn't turn around because he'll be wasting our time.
