TWG VIII (The Matrix Has You) Day 4

[whorlichan]

Randomized voting thing: Flypie. Also, she's usually a little more vocal in TWGs. Sorry about my own silence; I have been out buying stuff for my new apartment and a car to get home in.

Yay for another TWG, I forgot how excited I get about these

[alainbryden]

don't vote for me just because I have Alain in my name. I'm not really an evil frenchman like the dude in the matrix

[blahblah18]

if only I could vote for all of you cuz you're all being idiots and I expect better.. come on now

[evilbutterfly]

It's because Tass is gone and they're all like "omgosh, I don't know who to PM and tell I'm a special role, AH! I'LL JUST ACT LIKE AN IDIOT!!" jk, I hope.

But seriously, who likes roopert or who has he worked closely with in the past? I'm pretty sure he was pretty quiet in past games, which makes me really wonder why they would kill him. You'd think they'd kill vocal people to silence them, but I'm not really sure on roopert's past behavior (all the avatarless people blend together...sorry!).

[alainbryden]

It'll all pay off. I have a feeling this is the best way to draw out the wolves. Hint, look for the most calm and collected. People who are usually more casual will start acting like blah. Blah's always like that though, so we can't hold it against him :P.

[evilbutterfly]

How exactly is he acting that isn't casual? I don't quite understand, alain.

[Tps222]

Im really confused, so i'm off to bed. Alain is talking in circles, half the people haven't said anything, or anything worth meaning, so hopefully by tommarrow there will be more evidence. Hasta manana mi amigos.

That's pretty much what I told Tps:

Legat0bluesummrs: it's always fucked up like that
Legat0bluesummrs: humans act like wolves, and wolves act like humans

That's what it always looks like to me.

[blahblah18]

ok so here goes some real opening analysis as opposed to the bullcrap going on so far...
Why Roopert?

A) Wolves are all jTWGers and newbies: they do a little research, look in the siggy sticky and see roopert has 3 pips... they've prob never heard of him and so don't fear a guardianing, and thus make their choice to not alert any suspicion anywheres

B) wolves are all the best players , and after taking out people with a chance to be guardianed, roopert was the highest man left on the totem...

I don't know, that coudl be all crazy, but it shows that you shoudl at least start putting some thoguht into your posts people

[evilbutterfly]

That's what I was thinking. We do have some newbers playing, or may be there was a PMing accident again XD

[Lupin_the_3rd]

well, blah, seeing as there are 4 wolves, option B seems more likely. There is most likely at least one veteran of TWG playing as a wolf. The jTWG/noobs look up to him, he becomes the leader wolf, and does what you explained in option B. However, it is still likely that 4 noobs got placed as wolves.

[alainbryden]

There would probably have to be at least one good player out of the 4 wolves, but that theory probably works either way. In history, though, it doesn't help much to identify why whoever got wolfed first did. It's usually just what you said, the best possible player that wouldn't be considered for guardianing. It doesn't really give away anything as to who the wolves could be. I think the best strategy is to vote for whoever is not talking the first night, which is always a fair enough strategy, because there's always one or two wolves that are hesitant to talk much, and then after that the real information always comes from watching how people react to who is getting lynched and for what reasons.

[evilbutterfly]

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't wolf me. I'm loud-mouthed but not good enough to be guardianed. I would have killed me to shut me up, because talking more leads to wolf discovery, usually.

This is the second time you've mentioned that. You also started belaboring the obvious in the form of expressing suspicions right off the bat, when there was really nothing to go by. You also mentioned that you always forget about Roopert, while insinuating that the culprit was someone who had ties to him. This method of thinking - killing someone who trusts someone else - has been done twice - it is not the modus operandi for first-night kills. And you've been through enough TWGs to understand that.

Looking through the handy-dandy history I see you've never been a wolf before. When I found out in Game IV I was a wolf one of the hardest things for me was to begin the act - once you start the stream of lies, it's easy to continue, but it's hard to establish an initial character.

I'm somewhat suspicious that you're a wolf and you're having a bit of difficulty with that. I'm not confident, but my Magic 8-Ball™ has just informed me that Signs Point To Yes. Evilbutterfly.

Random Host moment in the spotlight.

Just about 6 hours in, but hardly anybody has said anything relevant at all. I know it's day one, but what's with the "omg don't take my username for serious I'm not an agent" thing?

Carry on.

Nothing to vote on, and I am not going to place a random vote.

I'm off to bed and will read the thread sometime tomorrow. :P

Well, I don't think I could've been vocal if I was asleep.

[alainbryden]

omg it's back

[Tps222]

Nforcer06164. My vote goes soley off that I want to see him talk.

[Kilgamayan]

Holy shit, we don't have 13 pages yet. Must be a slow game.

I'm going to vote for alainbryden because I think he's dancing around in the spotlight too much. If he's an agent, then he's doing exactly what he should be doing by calling attention to himself. Every time someone makes a scene really early in the game people think "no agent would come out in the open this much this early in the game" so it's a nice cover.

[Afrobean]

I hate having to go to bed at 10 o' clock on school nights, then not having the school the next day becuase of bad weather. Whatever, though. I'm here now.

Lupin's joke was actually pretty clever. His username "Lupin" comes from the Latin word Lupus, which means wolf. Everyone else ruined it by postwhoring like mad with lame copies of the joke.

That said, I really don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. Roopert was likely killed for not being likely to be guardianed. This is why if I were guardian, I'd guardian like the third most wanted by the wolves, because the wolves always stay away from the first couple of picks for fear of guardian. Also, about the newbs being agents thing, it would be like Alain said: at least one of the agents would be a good player and all the newbs would look up to them.

Also, I figured something out from jTWG; your random votes are truly useless. The only way to make them not useless is DON'T say it's random. Pull some sort of reasoning for it out of your ass. I will be abstaining from voting, though, because I know I can't get any reasoning for a vote on anyone, besides that they haven't posted. That's not fair to vote for them because of that yet though. Maybe they just had to go to bed (like me) then school.
