TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

[TWG Phil]

so as to not be a total hippo, I'll give some thoughts of my own

I don't really remember the last time I was playing the first day phase I liked someone as much as I've liked Julian; probably means he's a wolf/acq (please acquire me)

Flurry and Agent S both seem to be thinking beyond the surface level; their discussion about Julian where they admitted his take was strong for what had been said, but still townread him is something I liked (moreso for Agent S than for Flurry)

haven't had too much that I've really liked thus far, I'd say those are my old towns

Not a fan of chief for reasons I've said
Fauna for reasons I forget
and for anyone with negative thirteen posts or fewer thus far

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'm trying really hard to understand this, but I don't

We lynch wolves, not information. Inactives are just a 4th party that makes everyone's life harder.

That's weird to read is all I can say.

[TWG Phil]

If you're saying we shouldn't lynch inactives because lynching inactives doesn't give any information... I disagree, and I think most people on FFR do too

you can get information from the people who are pushing the inactives, who they chose and why, and while I get that its not exactly a gold mine of information, d0 rarely is

we have to make it into something, sure, and we do that by having interactions
if we have to play the game in circles around the inactives, then that's just what we'll have to do

this game (as is the case for any 20 player game) has many, many people who are posting with low postcount
for the people who will be alive late-game, sorting through that mess is a nightmare, and given that there have to be a few town in there who are not going to be reading everything, the chance that they get together and find a wolf is rather low

look at last game, town had 3 confirmeds and still blew it on the last phase

[TWG Dora]

he sounds like someone that hasn't played very much on FFR to me

[TWG Dora]

Actually i just realized we don't know if they will be getting modkilled or replaced.

Hmm

True, but i still think regardless information defict is just a fancy phrase at this point in the game. There's almost nothing to go on anyways so might as well eliminate a slot that is preventing me from solving it

What will happen if the 5 post minimum isn't met? Its not said anywhere

Hmmm.. they might need to get their apartment sublet, and if no replacement is available, I will need to evict them from the town.

[TWG Fauna]

I’ve been called into work so won’t be here for EoD. Xiz’s post about minimum count doesn’t change anything for me, replacements are detrimental to a game like this. I’m happy to park my vote on dotty because I don’t think any weird interactions in this thread so far are wolfy rather than just the output of excited/inexperienced townies. There’s a couple people I have my eye on but I don’t want to make a play on them while I’m not here to defend my reads and I want to see how they act/change over EoD. Also, fuck inactives.

I’ll follow along as much as I can without getting fired

[TWG Phil]

punchy
I will will him to return to the thread
I will it

Somewhat related but i really don't see why the acquisitioner would ever take over an inactive

Either they have to maintain the inactivity in which case they risk randomly getting voted and killed or they go "oh hey im back and active" and we give them the stink eye.

In other words im not killing inactives to hurt the acquisitioner (because it doesn't). I'm doing it because they hurt town.
