Host Comments
T-Force: You played a really good town game. I don't think anyone actually thought you were the seer until you outed. Then you died. x] Although to be fair, you were the kill before you outed, so it wasn't like it changed things up at all.

Funnygurl555: you died because you were the most experienced player I think. Sorry you died basically on your birthday. better luck next time.

riotpolice: Sorry you felt like you couldn't do anything to convince everyone you were town. They figured it out eventually. You just gotta work on trying to do that. I know it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it makes your game a lot better and statistically, you're gonna be VT more than anything so you've gotta figure that out.

Red Blaster: Stop being so one track minded. Seriously. It wasn't your fault town lost, you were pretty sure about who was and wasn't a wolf so good job there. But if you weren't confirmed town, you would've been seen as super wolfy (to me at least). That said, good job on pretty much nailing the wolves.

reuben_tate: obviously did a relatively good job, seeing as you won :P Try to post more as wolf. That's all I really have to say. You picked up a bit in the second half of the game, but first half you were UTR as always.

lynn43melissa: you player a pretty good game for never having played forum TWG before. You were up in the running for MVP there right at the end. All I can really say is try your best to post more. Not posting at all, or only posting a little bit when called upon is a very, very bad strategy to take on. Try to post as much unique content as you can when not actively being asked for it. It'll serve you a lot better in game. I hope you stick around to play. You'll be a great player with some experience.

tiloco217: You were REALLY polarizing this game (as T-Force put it). You were really flippy floppy on your reads and it led to you being read as mafia from quite a few people it seemed. Your wolf game is really good. I think you just need to work on being as towny as you can be.

jtehanonymous: Congrats on the win, obviously. You, like Ben, stayed off people's radar ENOUGH to not be lynched. That said, you were still on their radars some. And you did the same thing Ben actually did. Relatively UTR at the beginning of the game and then you stepped it up. I know that had a lot to do with work, but still. Gotta work on that.

danceflashrevo: we've already talked about this game. You can be so much of a better TWG player and you know it. You just gotta work on it.



All in all, this was.... an interesting game to host. You guys were fun. I hope I didn't suck too much as a host. :P

oh by the way red, vt don't get told that they are role blocked. Probably something you want to keep in mind in the future

[tiloco217]

Also I think Funny died because she had voted on Jteh and then really wanted to kill Reuben in the next day (or maybe I am remembering wrong and she wanted to kill DFR). She had pretty good reads

[Xiz]

Town should always speak up and voice their opinions, even if its wrong in the long run.
The more activity, the better.

[tiloco217]

Looking back at my first set of reads all 5 that I gave were right so that is probably something I need to consider in future games

[T-Force]

Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, so who wants to hear about some of the fun traps I tried to lay?

First off, yes, I mentioned the seer many times to try to throw it off of me. It worked. They killed me because I was super town; not because of the seer claim. Although I was early, it was too late for me regardless.

Second, I was honestly thinking you were more wolf, tiloco. However the trap was this: Assuming they didn't kill either myself (and I thought I did a decent job of hiding), or Red Blaster, I figured they'd go for you because that would make that seering useless. Which would lead to you being cleared, and my seering going through and everyone's happy.
If you hadn't died, nor me or Red, bam, you're a wolf and I still get my seering.

That said, DAMMIT TILOCO YOU FRIGGIN' RUINED IT WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT!

Trap 3 was hinting that Melissa was the seer. I didn't know if it worked, but it still got it off of me.

[tiloco217]

What was the point of the harry potter theme by the way? It actually had nothing to do with the game :P

[Red Blaster]

Yet another post gane where literally everyone gets praised and I get shit on.

[Jtehanonymous]

I wanted to be Harry Pot Pot ((((((((((((((

I was ugly Fenrir rip.

I was never going to die that night after I started pushing on red but I understand your play (sorry I outed it :P). Also I was under the impression that you were leaning towards me being mafia but saying that you thought I was town was way more beneficial towards me :P

[Red Blaster]

My softing on Day 1 was actually me softing I was Hermoine.

Alohomora and Occulous repairo are both cast by her :l

[Cold Kitten]

I didn't praise everyone, Red. Maybe if you read the whole thing, you'd see that.

[Jtehanonymous]

Great game, great game, red u suk, great game, great game is basically all I see

[T-Force]

Red do you blame us? You have the most insane tunnel vision and don't ever seem to change that unless it's to something completely different that doesn't help town at all.
You don't back up your posts with reasoning unless it's your own and you don't listen to anyone else unless it's your head.

I swear to god you play with a tinfoil hat aand that everyone's out to get you. Think about why you're seered so often or why you live to end game so many times: It's not because people want to confirm you; it's because people think you're wolfy. And yeah, you were different early on (potential meta change?) and that's why I seered you. I figured something was up.

With all due respect, you have good reads... SOMETIMES. Other times you just see red and charge without reason or because you have this built up notion that you're right and nothing but right. This is a game where every single move you make has to be questioned and thought about. One where every single move you make can be seen as done for the opposite reasons.
Sometimes plays are made to make pothers look suspicious. Sometimes others are done just because they're done. Simple as that.




Oh, and one last thing. Lynching humans sometimes isn't the worst thing. Yeah, it's not exactly what we want, but you can't expect any game to end in a sweep. Sometimes you need to lynch townies because they're doing absolutely nothing to help the town, or themselves. Sometimes you need to do it to confirm them and then you can look into their reads in a new light. It's not the end of the world.


In all honesty, you made me cheer for you many times in D2. Other times, I was cursing your name. You have the reading ability. You just need to actually use other people to help your cause.

[Cold Kitten]

Go read tiloco's comment. go read dfr's comment. almost everyone's has at least one good thing and at least one bad thing.

[tiloco217]

She said my game sucked if that is any consolation to you :P

OH LMAO SERIOUSLY?! I TOTALLY DIDN'T CLUE IN ON THAT!!
Alohamora is used by like all of the main 3 in the first, but she totally was the only one to cast that second spell holy crap.


Problem is, we didn't actually know who did what...
