TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

oh, ok, I see what you're talking about now, Julian
you're thinking of a shroop (which I think are equally as dumb as slips fwiw)
I didn't understand what you were asking, my b

[TWG Cherry]

what the fuck is a shroop

[TWG Julian]

i don't mean typos and grammatical errors so much as leaving behind evidence that a sentence has been edited in some way. extra inserted words that didn't get deleted or changed during the proofreading process

it doesn't matter anymore because it turns out the error i was focusing on earlier in the game wasn't even an error. now i just want to know to satisfy myself

yeah, I know
it sounds made up, doesn't it?

[TWG Phil]

an example of a shroop (again, I don't think these are ever worth looking for, typos are different things and are significantly more common) is as follows

a wolf, overly worried about how they appear, types a long message, with a following excerpt from it:
"the townspeople won't let wolves do as they please; the villagers will stop them"

upon rereading the message before posting it, the wolf edits the sentence minorly, focusing on one word, which ends up breaking the whole sentence flow, inadvertently making it more awkward.
the sentence now reads

"We won't let the wolves do whatever they want. Townspeople will stop them."

Now, the sentence is more awkward, even though its just a minor difference from before. People who don't know how to scumhunt would point to the second sentence's awkwardness, and say its a shroop that only wolves make

shroops make several assumptions that I think are pretty false
1) that all wolves read over all of their posts thoroughly
2) that no villagers read over their posts thoroughly
3) that wolves make minor mistakes in edits a lot more often than villagers
4) typos don't exist

basically, they're somehow worse to look for than slips and I kind of can't believe some people try to play the game in that way

2 minutes before eod without a votecount makes you sweat buckets when it's between yourself and someone that did the same mistake as the first game you ever played. Was also super paranoid that wolves would swing the vote because I thought votecount on me was higher than what was given 2 minutes before eod.

I'm starting to move to a world where there might be 2 deep wolves.

I still think Rolf is relatively town-ish based on iso, and I just don't really have that many null or wolf lean reads anymore.

Bid you to look past the sparring that you and Cherry had the previous day phase. They had some real solid conversations on d1 & d2. (After Zucker votes & before Chief votes.) Don't have to do a whole iso, just noting that this seems more or less based off of interaction which went entirely between the both of you.

The only player that stands out to me on zucker is Tank, and they are the third vote on them, so I don't really see why a wolf partner would strike that early. Pre-cop reveal.

If they hadn't outed themselves as a PR role, I'd still be scumreading them for the absolutely abhorrid reactionary posts.

it just really strikes me as trying to clear a partner on the wagon with how hard they're rejecting the entire possibility what what

Then direct it towards the sentence at hand instead of reading it as an ulterior meaning. What do you think is the possibility that a wolf partner would vote against their own, pre-role reveal for what was going to be the lynch for that night?

pre-role reveal its not a huge possibility but I could see it happening for a wolf that wanted town cred super early what what

They're not really earning that town cred from the looks of reads lists, or at least not many.

If you want to go down that avenue, I'd suggest checking town reads vs wolf reads on Tank, because I don't recall many town leaning Tank for it.

[TWG Agent S]

gut vote.

Still want to look at Apollo/Maple interactions tonight.

[TWG Punchy]

Phew, now that it's not 3 hours from EOD or St. Patrick's day, I can actually focus on rereading the thread.

Yes, I'm doing it!

[TWG Punchy]

Much like that last Fire Emblem game and Xiz's mystery bastard game, something can be said about how advantageous it is for wolves having this many posts in the thread.
