TWG CXVIII: But Who Are Ur Friends, Really???

[j-rodd123]

"I don't agree with some of it"

like what do you want me to say when you wont even challenge it

[yo man im awesome]

Me (of course), Backpack, Charles, lurker.

What places Charles and lurker above the others? What gives you the human lean for backpack?

[j-rodd123]

the orange and red list are pretty interchangeable. none of you have made an impact on me and are >rand wolf, especially when wolves could easily lay low due to no activity.

DBP had a great day 1 on tone, has been less than impressive this phase, I've been pretty clear on that so im not sure if you've read the thread or not.

fake sounding questioning maybe. so basically you disagree with all my wolves?

and actually charles' post today seems fine so I'd give him a pass, he can move up to orange

[j-rodd123]

yoman give some reads that aren't just manti=wolf

[yo man im awesome]

need to shit i'll be back in a few minutes

[j-rodd123]

naw answer now, you don't need time to go message your wolfbros

[yo man im awesome]

2) Charu
3) DarkManticoreX2
4) yo man im awesome
5) YoshL
6) j-rodd123
8) MrPopadopalis25
9) DaBackpack
10) iluswirl
11) Vendetta21
12) Charles Claythorne
13) lurker

I'm tunneling like crazy, but honestly I'm confident with Manti being red. His stalling feels really forced and his disinterest seems really artificial to me.

orange: null, I can't decide either way. Your attacking and "hey guys"-ing just feels red, along with the list I don't feel the same way about. But I just don't believe that you're red.

light green: slight human read, nothing really suspicious in my eyes about them.

deep green: me, and plop out of gut. I just flat out do not see a wolf in him.

[yo man im awesome]

Also you people post a fuckload

[DaBackpack]

A few scattered thoughts, in no order:

Regarding Manti, I don't have anything to add, but I think the suspicions are valid, namely this

If you don't have a good defense, ignore the attack. That's generally a pretty good wolf play.

Would like elaboration on this please

As far as this phase goes, I'm still privy towards voting Charu for the same reasons that I mentioned during day 1, but I'm going to wait a bit to see how day 2 pans out before I vote.

I'm heading off to bed for tonight, but I'll definitely make sure to contribute to the activity front tomorrow. As for now, here's a pre-sleep read on all y'all so you have something to go off of when you make your reads on me:

: iluswirl, dabackpack, jrodd, lurker
: V, yoshl, charles, YMIA
: charu, manti

I don't like this, I can't place why, maybe the words will come to me later... I might be getting a small tryhard vibe here, maybe trying to get too cuddly with humans, idk I'll think on this some more.

________________________________

One thing I tried doing was looking for significant changes in D1 vs D2 behavior: wolves have had their first true discussion together and have been strategizing overnight. So it's natural for the wolves to have changed most dramatically out of all of us. (Same can be said of masons to a lesser extent, but I think masons would mostly not want to change posting styles)

On this end, lurker has posted a shitton more, even though most of it with him acting with that asshole facade. MrPopadopalis has posted more as well, though I do not know what to attribute to normal shifts in gameplay (i.e. D2 is more serious than D1 inherently)

To summarize, I'm expecting 1-2 wolves in {MrPopadoplis, Manti, lurker}.

Going to look back some more and try to refine my thoughts, these are all my impressions at the moment

[DaBackpack]

Also, just want to get this out there now:

There's something I want to say but I want to wait until tomorrow to do it. A very strange suspicion. So please remind me D3 if I live that long.

I know this sounds really suspicious, but my idea is proven wrong if I die tonight pretty much so there's no real need for me to say it now. Unless you really want to hear it now, but I'd rather not affect the wolves' behavior if I'm right.

[DaBackpack]

(And Gradiant in heaven, I see you, please forgive me if I'm totally wrong)

[DarkManticoreX2]

Sorry guys I didn't make it through the thread, I just got to the end of day 1.

The only people I really like this game so far are Me/YIMA/Jarrod.

The people I don't like are Charles/Lurker/Swirl.


ILU got really defensive day 1 multiple times when being pressured, but he was never really voted. (note to self, look who was applying pressure)



Lurker has been in and out of the thread, but has left no memorable impression, and the entire day phase he stuck with Charu.

also i'd never invite any of you in my house except plop (note that he's one of the quieter ones, this is not a coincidence)

Near the end he tried to rantionalize charu's weird nonsense that he originally didn't like and "evolve" his read over to xiz. Frankly this whole post (below) feels faked.

dealing with xij on d2 is going to be a nightmare if he stays alive (adds some confusion if he subs out and wastes a day vote if he doesn't)

Charles has been Quiet, but analytical, and this game feels a lot like how he played in poker TWG
/Meta read.

Also I'm leaving shortly for the rest of the night for Magic the Gathering with my freinds.

Probably won't be back for day end. Ask me stuff now.

[Vendetta21]

what should i write on your gravestone?

[DarkManticoreX2]

32 pages of posts is too many to analyze in one day!

[DarkManticoreX2]

Procrastination kill!

[DarkManticoreX2]

We lynched a human!

[DaBackpack]

You do realize you're the main target for today right? And distancing yourself from lurker, if that's what it is, isn't going to work.

Fuck me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you be more worried

[DaBackpack]

I mean granted I'd be not giving a shit if I was about to play Magic, but at least try to seriously defend yourself...?

[DarkManticoreX2]

I'm worried you guys are going to lynch me, but the only way I can really stop that is sitting here on my computer for the next few hours (which I'm not going to do, because I have other plans) and develop a much more sophisticated wolf list.

The accusations against me are what?

Slowing the momentum of the game?
-- I'm not going to put out half assed wolf assumptions, because when I die and flip human people take them more seriously. I generally put about 2-4 hours into every thread before I feel comfortable swaying the thread's descisions. I got probably 2.5 today which is on the low end and I was expecting to get ~4.

The time at which I voted Xiz?
--I voted Xiz very early in the game because I disagreed with how he was playing and what he was doing, not because I thought he was necessarily a wolf. That vote changed to Backpack when I noticed he made a post that I found odd coming from him (and I explained), and changed to pop later, because I hadn't settled on who to vote for.

I fully intended to change my vote and participate in yesterday's lynch, but I thought the day ended at midnight, not at 9 EST.



So yeah, I think those are the two big things.
