TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

[TWG Molly]

I'm going to be real here, I'm just awful at this game; I don't know why I torture myself to play it. I feel like it's an all too common occurrence where some irl stuff happens, I fall a bit behind, people become suspicious that I'm a wolf, and then I just get overwhelmed with trying to simultaneously figure out the game and convince others I'm not wolf. I don't have much self-confidence and I know people will scrutinize my words more carefully so this just exacerbates this issue making things worse as time goes on.

Anyways, I'm awake late in the night with a cup of coffee trying to get past this hole I've dug myself into and to see what I can do. I did reread last day phase; I'm not caught up in this one (I only skimmed a bit). I know it's not much (I feel like I owe town a megapost every time I post and it's been awhile), but here's a few thoughts I had:

-I've been pushing for Chief and Julian for quite awhile. I started to consider the possibility of them being a w/w team somehow. In the process of thinking about this, I saw Julian's reads from the previous phase and I really didn't like the read they did on Chief (I can elaborate if need be). In the case they are wolf partners, I thought this was an attempt to make Chief look more favorable. However, in the recent posts, the fact that Julian is bringing attention to the fact that he has Chief higher than null on his reads makes me think that otherwise so I'm not quite sure what to make of that.

-I started entertaining the idea of a Eugene wolf and the reads from flurry and del regarding eugene did somewhat resonate with me. I will definitely say, Eugene is definitely putting in solid effort into the game. However I feel like most games tend to have at least 1 active high-postcount wolf that tends to be near-univerally townread early game so I try not to forget that such wolves can exist. In particular, the posting style seems very towny at first glance: post after post and many interactions. A wolf that's confident in their ability to interact with others can rack up a high post count and have a large "presence" in the thread, so easy townie points. However, as Del brings up, "Eugene is relying a lot off of quoting and then just reacting to a quote, instead of giving raw, genuine thoughts on people/situations". Although one could explain things away by appealing to posting styles, I think that Del might be on to something.

Although this sounds OMGUS-y, I found it incredibly opportunistic that you hopped on Boomer's read on my "AMA" post, especially after you "missed" it the first time you posted. Also, when I asked if anything significant happened since the aqui claim, you said "you're on nearly everyone's watch list and everyone wants you dead". However, if it is the case that lots of people wanted me dead, when I eventually went back to read what I missed, your response was hardly indicative of what was going on in the thread. My guess is that you were trying to evoke some type of response out of me, idk.
