this is some hot tunneling

This is however trying to read the will of the host to some extent, which I don’t think is useful too often.

Memes aside, I really don’t see myself actually voting for Storn this phase, and actually agree a bit with funnier’s post there; FFA is a very confident player regardless of role. Given his vested involvement last game, I’m honestly reading him as a near VT here because his role isn’t as fun or something (though iirc the ZD one has a lot of stuff going on, is it the Pokémon/DBZ one still?).

I can’t help but see Antori as suspicious but I kind of always do and I think it’s based on his usual reluctance to get serious. I’d like him to try to elaborate on his Wolf Haku post if possible.

I’m interested by FFA’s insight that anti-host is third party, I like the idea but I’d like to see it fleshed out a bit more if possible.

I see fg’s resistance to lunch as pretty town, but possibly due to my own bias of early town circles being easily corrupted & Haku’s desire to make one as suspicious, but not paired with the role ability interaction, it’s too much and I think Haku is more careful than that as anti-town here.

I’m interested by WV’s remark on Mellon’s roll, I think it’s honestly a little presumptuous of her range — she’s a bolder player than he seems to think imho and she could just as easily do it for the sake of wresting control of the mechanic. I’d assume there are probably more pro-town rolls to be had there, but as the game progresses it’ll get riskier to roll & maybe more alignment indicative as the game progresses. I could also see punishments happening for non-participation though.

Also sorry for the long post, I think this is the first TWG I’ve gotten to play while not also being at reserves lmao (also FFXIV is in maintenance).

I find myself feeling a little suspicious of Shadowgod here too, but haven’t played many games with him. I do know he has an immense proclivity to overthink though just by reading some of the dead chats.

How many games have you played with antori before? Seems like you have a better grasp on him than I do.

He obviously could have a reason to lie about having it (if he rolled scum), therefore alignment could have an influence on his response. I thought his response seemed rather towny and the right amount of apologetic. A wolf might have apologized a bit more than him.

As for Shadow God, I think he deserves some more time and that him getting lynched as wolf last game is just a sad happenstance

WV, I'm glad you're a fan of my nihilposting. I do want to point out WV that you are much more active this game than previous ones. What's the change that's making you post more?

Idk why Dai is tinfoiling on storn. I just don't know where that post came from given the context of the rest of his posts at that time period

And ffa's hot thought on xiz nemesis being a 3p is a nice take and makes me think FFA is not 3p at all

This game is at huge risk for multiball, just saying

Iirc the game I played before my last one was when I was wolfing and I posted a lot there too. The reason I'm much more active in this game rather than just shit posting through the first day is because of what mml said saying that he'll never play a game with FFA or me in it. That's actually the whole reason I joined and me being active and actually participating is just to rub it in his FACE

Found Xiz post

Read Xiz post

Refreshed after reading Xiz post to see if someone else has posted in response because I planned to post a number

Saw Raeko posted

Is this tunneling on order of events of which I posted during that Xiz minigame really relevant

Xiz edited the op at x:15, he announced the winner at x:16, you posted twice in a row with your second post noticing the change in the op at x:17.

Raeko played the game so she was aware of what was going on. I'd just expect her to post about what she won the first. Not you who just happened to stumble upon the first page and noticed the changes. But then again if you knew raeko picked 7 before you finished reading xiz's post you'd know about what she won so you could check it out right?

Every big game I've played this year antori has also been in (Christmas, AN) plus this past jTWG I read entirely but was too busy IRL to properly play in, where I ended up feeling the same.

Having been the one who called out gs for his quick reading of the change to the OP, I think it was more luck than anything else. It's also in orange text just like the contest, so it's not like he claiming to have found information in plain text like this.

It did seem odd at first, but I think that's not a point people should consider rn

Oops I failed to bold but you get what I'm pointing at

[gold stinger]

That is some conspiracy level thinking there m'dude.

Thought "Wait he didn't say anything about what changed or happened. Oh was it maybe one of the 5 hidden mechanics that have been in the OP since the start of the game?"

Checked OP

Cardflips.

If there was nothing changed in the OP, I would have then assumed it was a DM between Xiz & mellon of a game change specifically with mellon.

I mean gs might have had multiple tabs open (like "Go Advanced" reply, and one with pg 1) or something, but I'd still consider that pretty non-indicative, though I suppose it's not unreasonable to expect that measure of thoroughness from anti-town. I see your point here, I just don't necessarily agree.

[gold stinger]

Crazy that I have to argue post order on this as if it's some sort of alignment indicative like sure I'm somehow getting information from the fucking host before it goes in the thread

Did he roll wolf in any of those? And if he did was he just playing catch up and doing more commentary on what he saw than actual pushing?

tbf that might happen in wolfchat or something? I'm just assuming Xiz isn't that sloppy though.

See you say this but fwiw the timing doesn't add up

He wasn't in any of them actually, no. jTWG was mellon and SG, and the similarity of playstyle on the latter is what some people are pushing for as suspicious here.

I'll have to take a gander at it then and check because the only game I've played with antori was his first game here and he rolled wolf and that's kind of what I'm basing my read on him on

I am pretty intrigued that he came up with such a theory on his own without an explicit prompt, for what that's worth.
