TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

[TWG Cherry]

I'd like to point out that Chief has wolf leans but no town leans in the reads list. Everyone not a wolf lean is either solid town or null. Just something to ponder what what

And I think Ive done a good enough job explaining why I'm voting for who I'm voting for.

[TWG Dora]

Reads lists d0 are jokes, your push on me was decent I guess.

What I'm really interested in seeing is if you park your vote on me for the rest of the day and do nothing else to look at other people.

I don't agree with that, mrmpht. The read from Apollo was a full-on gutread, and probably has no clout. I don't see it as very odd for Agent S to not respond, friend. It's some weak bait, methinks.

Yes, but now you've invoked WIFOM with the acquisitioner's choice. I hope you're happy with pointing out this strategy, mrmpht.

Chief, you seem not to like a lot of things. Are you alright? Want a bowl of ramen, on me?

I don't like how Del claims there's nothing relevant in the thread. It really shows that they're not really putting too much effort checking the rest of the thread, as there was plenty of relevant discussion beforehand, mrmpht.

well, if it's just us, my dear neighbor, let me ask you what your take on apollo pushing the acquisitioner read on you is. where'd he get it from? why's he repeatedly calling attention to it?

It looks like you changed your mind a bit, friend. Why did you change your tone here? Just because you were talking directly to Agent S?

It's also making the acquisitioner's life harder by reducing their pool of targets.

So, I was wondering if being pro inactive would go against the wolf agenda and motivate them to defend the stance that inactives must be gone.

I'm curious about how others approach this.

I have no idea what the heck this post is trying to say. Can you try again, except not sound like you've just got off of a really fast merry-go-round?

It doesn't feel good but it absolutely has to be done. Its a poisoned slot that gets worse thre farther the game goes. D0 is really thre only good time to kill inactives because its not like we have other solid leads.

But our goddess Isabelle is going to smite them so its moot.

What isn't moot is defending inactivity.

Im not cherry but what what?

Yes, mrmpht. I think lynching inactives is a good idea. Since we should be focusing on wolves d0, lynching inactives seems to be the best way to do that on FFR currently if you want to look away from voting for someone you think is suspicious for a post they made. Trying to find the acquisitioner right now is like trying to find a coelacanth when it's not raining!

My hot take is that we are living in the best timeline when Flurry/Dora/Julian are all town. But, it's not the biggest thing to think about right now with so many people below minimum post requirement, and being less than 8 hours out from the first possible eviction.

But why do you like Dora? I can see why you like Flurry and Julian from your posting history, but I'm missing your read on Dora here. Also, it seems like you're ignoring Julian's direct question of you about the acquisitioner.

0 progress in reads that I can really follow, the one thing that got the closest was him telling someone they can hang (which I think doesnt mean hang from a noose)

Also made fun of me for voting the person who talk woke this but also said they want to see them off the island

Hey, you're stealing thoughts right out of my head! Does that mean we should be closer friends? I can ask the mayor to move my tent closer to yours. Then we could share some food, mrmpht. Dreams of sushi...

Sure, but do any of those play into right now? I think not. It makes it irrelevant. The setting up of gimmicks and posting styles is enough in regards to the Aquisitioner. Pointing them out, or tunneling people for them is unproductive. Lynching an inactive puts us at an information deficit. We net negative both of these paths. You can agree to that much, yes?

I think you're overestimating the impact people discussing gimmicks has on the acquisitioner. If they're a smart player, they'll do whatever they can to jump into a slot they think is easy to emulate. I think you're being a bit too nervous about this acquisitioner. Is someone worried about being acquired, mrmpht??

Apollo, you look dirty here! You didn't really look at anything else in the thread and are just jumping straight onto voting for Chief. Seems opportunistic, I would say. Did Agent S slip your mind?

[TWG Punchy]

Oh, goodness, that was quite the big speech! I think I'm gonna grab a bite to eat before returning to the meeting. I hope people read through that post, mrmpht. If not, I'll be upset!

Apollo, let's chat when I'm back!

[TWG Punchy]

Did I scare everyone off, mrmpht?

Taking by the bolded portion that you're suspicious of Chief? But then obviously suspicious of Apollo from your vote, so would you believe Apollo's vote is sort of distancing?

We currently have 12 players with less than 15 posts out of 20 players.

This mean that inactives had a much larger pool than there are wolves/acq combined.

At the time I posted what you quoted, it looked even more discouraging.

My point is that you could gun down inactives and just kill townies over and over losing the game before even reaching an acceptable outcome.

I think the ideal way to play this game is to make a giant town circle and lynch everything that's outside of it.

It's a bit sad, but we have to wait things out to artificially help us filter which inactive to vote.

That's part of my conflict toward inactives.

In my opinion, there was a lot of mindmelding between the three across pages 11 and 12 of the thread that kickstarted a lot of premature thinking and thought processing of what's been thrown down in the thread, and I really liked that. It's moving the town forward in a positive direction for a d0.

Acq was a 10/10 quality joke toss. Don't have really much to contribute on that discussion other than I do have a posting gimmick in-case of acq, and they most likely won't figure it out, sidekick.

three pages = 11 - 13 m'bad.

check out this post history (pretty much every other post is irrelevant horsing around). aside from the post about apollo, none of this seems like it's coming from a townie mindset. answering for tank is wolfy, and posts like the last one are sooooooo commentary mode. in fact, their whole tone seems almost robotic, or at least overly formal. even the townie stuff (asking questions and following up when someone doesn't answer, making your vote match your convictions) is surface level and awkward. there's nothing genuine behind it. this is someone who knows what others look for when they try to townread someone and is following that "code of conduct." their endgoal isn't solving the game: it's to look townie.

I cannot help, but read this as if this is Julian's game plan rather than what he's seeing into Molly.
I have trouble to see a town player stop themselves from answering for someone else as wolfy.
Non committal commentary posts are common in D0 because players don't know exactly what to do.
I can understand what you're trying to say with the tone, but I feel like it could be wrong.
Players following their own convictions and try to play safe in D0 is very common as well.
If anything, I feel like I'm struggling more with your intentions than anything else.

I understand that there's a chance you could be wrong, but I thought you'd be more enthusiastic about your own post.

It's like I don't understand your progression rather than if it looks good or not.

Do you think you could help us read you by looking into anything that attracts your attention ?

Majority of what's been posted is people playing into their characters. I'm more interested in what's to come in the next few hours as people start to get more serious.

This is garbage though "I took time to re-read the game and make some bs list but then didn't say why I felt any of these things"
