TWG CXVIII: But Who Are Ur Freinds Really??? POSTGAME

[Charu]

Oh...

It's funny, me and Gradiant were discussing this before the game started. It sounded like a good idea then.

But yeah, I see that it was bad now.

No it's not wolfy to fight back, and also it convinces people when you do. There's research that shows the longer an argument goes on (in general) the more likely it is for the audience to hover at 50/50 support of the sides, regardless of content. Yell louder, yell longer. This is an important element of TWG. The fact that you didn't fight back was seen as you giving up and playing triage as a wolf (partly because that's the narrative I gave to people, and also because you weren't giving another one back.)

after seeing 4 cop claims yell at each other for over an hour straight I can confirm that the louder and longer you yell the more confused those trying to solve the game will be. Idk how it works on forums though. People also seem to think that giving up is always the move of a frustrated wolf for whatever reason.

In situations of high tension and a lack of information it's much easier to weigh the person's mood as indicative of their intentions than it is to weigh their arguments. Also as a part of human psychology we just inherently dislike quitters.

New wolf meta acquired.

Plus when you give up you let the other person still talking describe the narrative, and if you were the one attacking/being attacked pretty much that means that the one person who might have had a vested reason to out and/or kill the other assailant has stopped trying so you should always see a much higher appearance of people who give up losing the fight.

People outside the two fighting, no matter what, are still always at some level of uncertainty.

this is a fucking insane idea

[Charu]

I'll be mod if you want then because I gots no webcam

[cedolad]

if you let me know several weeks in advance what the date is, I will lie to all of your faces, with my pretty face.

Definitely a great performance by the Wolves. Humans played rather lacklustre, but the Wolves took advantage of every weakness they could find.

I wish I had voiced my suspicions more. I didn't really want to lynch Manti or Charu/XelNya, but had I done so, I might have been able to have gone after my later suspicions of lurker (well, this one was wrong BUT WHATEVER), j-rodd, and Popo. Completely missed you though, Vendetta21, so I doubt I could have led Humans to victory even if I had!

Thank you for your kind words, however, Vendetta21. I'll be sure to keep my eye on you next time!!!

[yo man im awesome]

Man lol, what it looks like to me is that everyone was suspicious of at least 1 wolf, but no one was suspicious of the same wolf, so no one was able to get anything done.

Ah well, better luck next time.
