I'm mostly interested in seeing what TWGma could glean from it

This depends on if ffa or pre flip any other kind of wolf or not.

votecount:
ffa (4)- fg, blind, Celirra, Xiz
Precarious (2)- Charu, Freezin

[Charu]

Precarious, you should definitely start talking.

What's your take on FG's claim that one of you is a wolf JOAT?

[blindreper1179]

whens the ITA starting?

[flashflash account]

not soon enough

83 min i think

[roundbox]

despite my earlier complaints, this ITA session might be pretty productive for y'all

I'm gonna take a look at day0 EOD like yoshl has been bringing up since nobody really drilled into it

[sprucegrit]

So what should town do if Precarious flips JOAT wolf?

Do we pause there?

There's time I know, but I still think we'd do good to look at possible wolves outside of the fg scenario (if we indeed get a JOAT wolf flip).

And here's a look again at the official EOD wagons:

Day 0 votecount:
Manti (5)- Prec, Charu, Xiz, Daikyi, jessie
fg (4)- Freezin, Haku, DBP, ffa
ffa (3)- blind, Manti, fg
who_cares (3)- TWGma, Celirra, Shado
freezin (2)- Lar, grit
Tokzic (1)- Zenith
tambo (1)- mellon
jessie (1)- roundbox
unvote- who_cares

Day 1 votecount:
Tokzic (6)- Shado, Celirra, Lar, grit, Xiz, roundbox
ffa (3)- blind, fg, Charu
jessie (3)- ffa, Freezin, precarious
roundbox (2)- TWGma, blind
tambo (1)- celirra
Daikyi (1)- Xel
unvote- jessie, Zenith, Daikyi

sssshhhhhhhhhh

[flashflash account]

how does d0 incriminate me at all, I still don't get that
oh, people flipped off of me and onto manti?
that doesn't make me a wolf at all. In fact, in the world where I was a wolf my partners would still bus me because I'm me
I'm doomed to have a dirty wagon forever

[Funnygurl555]

i've been watching for a bit and it hasn't caught the cheez it yet :c

Regardless of what it means for me personally, I buy FG's claim. Even absent the corroboration, it's too coherent and detailed to be made up. That means either FFA or Freezin is the JOAT.

As far as the ITA goes, I favor shooting FFA first. He VT-claimed early, which almost certainly means he's either a wolf, or actually VT. So in the worst case scenario, we lose a vanilla player, and in the best case hit the wolf.

Given the circumstances, I strongly favor an aggressive ITA. Nothing good can come of drawing this situation out.

Having said that, I would favor a Freezin lynch over FFA in a vacuum, although that's not a decision anyone will need to make unless I'm the only person killed in the ITA. I don't suppose even my claim will prevent that now.

But for posterity's sake:

FFA's gameplay has been weird and (often needlessly) confrontational. But there's been an actual thrust to it. Moreover, a lot of his reads have been unorthodox--or at least, counter to the prevailing winds of the thread. And that's attracted a lot of attention--but a town player isn't concerned with bad press, while scum is likely to appease the existing meta whenever possible. His support for shooting me before Freezin is a little concerning, given that it breaks with his previous views, as well as his general skepticism toward blue claims--and thus feels oriented toward self-preservation. But other than that, he feels too reckless for a wolf. From what others have said, I guess his gameplay here makes more sense within his own meta, but there were times he could have stood down and didn't.

Freezin hasn't been terrible either. His play has been a bit different from what I recall from a previous dip into TWG waters, but people evolve over time. Mostly, he's been aggressive in a different way--opinionated, even belligerent, but not as trolly as FFA. He's made the most of his early claim, and his aggression has gone a little overboard at times, including calling for questionably town-sided shooting actions during ITAs. But that could easily be a NAI persona adoption, or even a legitimate strategy. His game doesn't feel explicitly wolf to me, to be honest, but slightly moreso than FFA's.
