TWG CXLII - A Storm of Hard and Boiled [Game Thread]

[thesunfan]

melissa how do you feel about xelnya?

[Tokzic]

I dunno. He's posting lots of anime gifs and typical XelNya stuff. Not sure what to make of him yet.

[Tokzic]

as far as anime gif posters go, i have to say clownpiece seems a little more likely to be scum at this time

hard to sift through the 14 pages of shitposts for reads so i could be entirely off but that's my first impression anyway

[Tokzic]

MrPop

Huhu, that's right.

[Tokzic]

I mean upon review I guess XelNya is playing this game way more serious than in games previous.

I don't know how to take that. He's certainly more invested than usual, but I don't want to think that's because he's excited about his role, I want to think it's because he's really getting into the game. For that reason alone, I think we could do better than lynching Xel today.

[thesunfan]

I believe that you are town Melissa

1 - DaBack of Packs
Has been playing with a human oriented mindset. Note that I didn't mention anything of "human meta" or "wolf meta", as I feel that DaBackpack here has has plenty of time to adjust accordingly and become a regular ole shady TWG player. I think you can all agree with me that DaBackpack being a serial killer in the Bastard++ game came as a huge surprise, and I wouldn't put it past him to be able to emulate this mindset if it worked for him last time. Does that mean he's a wolf now? No. I will say that people are giving him a bit too much of a free pass at the moment.

This plate of harsh browns really excoriated sunfan. I am giving DaBackpack more town points here than other since he was the first to make the observation than ride the classic opinion train.

Posts like this though are meaningless in terms of alignment and are mostly white noise. We all know that Tokzic and Mashi are solid players regardless of alignment, and any inactivity at this point is probably related to not seeing the game start and is not a result of their rolls.

depends what he comes up with though

Didn't you just say it was aggressively neutral? I understand why you think he is scummy but he hadn't really made any other posts at this contingency,

Explain lad

fyi I mind melded with DaBackpack here if you check out my comments on sunfan

2 - Red Blastoise

Weak town lean at the moment. I would like him to make some analysis towards players as most of his posts have been reactionary instead of proactive. Also:

The point about mechanics discussion possibly benefiting scum team had not come up at this point, so I guess that helps his reputation. I still want to see more!!

Townie at the moment.

4 - storn420

This is the one post that sets storn off as human for me. His other posts are somewhat questionable, and he is lacking a little bit in the instigation department.

Although I do have to say this is a weak defense (him predicting his death) and was kinda unnecessary. This is one post in particular that troubles me.

5 - Tokzic ayy
I like his entrance and his original reads, but I want to see how they develop over time. Null for now.

6 - Plopadop

I guess but he is playing a little more reserved this game than usual and seems to be a conscious effort to be different. I think this makes the mislynching award a little less reliable here.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

seems like townie plop play. His reads list is fine I guess but take a look at his reads list last time he played with me:

This seems a little less antagonizing than his current read of me, and the circumstances were pretty dang similar.

7 - just a box that is round

I think I'm only doing the stupid posting style for parts of this post and parts of this post only as I'm too lazy to commit to obfuscating you all with my falsely robust lexicon.

8 - Clownpiece heidy

I am not a fan of clownpiece at the moment due to a lack of posting content and then the random red blaster vote before leaving the thread for the night. For real, that red blaster vote was just... blah.

9 - XelNya the gif lord

Just because I don't wanna explain what it is doesn't mean you all can't speculate~

Also as a side note, you've been the most boring active player this game. The fluff is as real with you.

I have no idea what an OMGUS post is though.

Past beef with ass blaster, that has been put on hold in the interest of being fair.

New one pending if he plays like shit

Also your read of sunfan is pretty correct, he's not playin' standard greggles, but the only reason I have to dislike him is the charu interactions and acting on that this early would be kinda gross imho. I wanna dig deeper, but recent posts make me feel a bit more like back burning him in favor of an inactive this phase just to see how it plays out.

Like I sorta feel I have a good read of how to read greggles but I wanna shove this off as doing something different, so I wanna wait till say later next game day to really poke at it.

Dig that you came in late, but with somethin' to work with tho.

This is an EXTREEEEEMELY townie post. Townie points for openly admitting he's waiting for more info to tunnel red blaster instead of just tearing into him. This kind of reserved play toward red blaster and others really sets Xelnya as town crew this game.

10 - thesunfan of flags

Mixed feelings.

I \think\ if a few things are done towns chances go way up, namely involving EVERYONE in the game cooperating with hider-shenanigans

Last time we played with Manti, him approaching the setup to break it was because he was a DIRTY, ROTTEN WOLF REPROBATE. This was the C9++ game you hosted for reference.

seems par for the course for sunfan here, even though those games where you've been right have been LTWG. ((SPEAKING OF, I REALLY WANT TO PLAY SOME LTWG. I MIGHT JUST POST STUFF TO PLAY BATTLESTAR AGAIN)).
I will add that the players you placed reads on seems to be pretty interesting, as the read on me felt forced and there were reads on other players left out that you've had interactions with (bunnies). I don't think I want to lynch you now though.

Aside from the SK, which is obviously not present in this setup, vigilante is probably the hardest role for scum to successfully fakeclaim (if you don't know why I won't spoil it). So, if the hider dies, and mafia one way or another fakeclaims vigi, fun things will happen, and town will be in a pretty alright position still.

No wolf in their right mind would fake claim vigi here, especially NOW THAT YOU JUST TOLD THEM. I'm going to be slightly hypocritical here and talk mechanics, because the hider vigi death thing is a little more than "isn't really a bad thing". The wolves have a chance of instantly identifying the vigilante in the event the hider hides behind someone not on the wolf team. The only situation in which the hider flip would be inconclusive if the hider and vigi picked the same wolf target. This would be different though if the hider hid behind a wolf and the vigi nailed another wolf. This is a best case scenario, imo. I'm not sure where I'm going with this aaaaaaaaaa

11 - THE Charu

The only thing I've been able to gather from charu is the fact that he's at least sticking to his reads, focusing on red blaster here and sunfan in other parts of the thread. This read sucks but it's mostly as a result of charuposting.

Even though he's your partner!?

That be some great distancing, i tall u WAT

This seems to be too confident about scum reads considering EOD is still on the horizon, and also the fact you're new here and all of the effects on reads that this status contributes. Xel has had enough posts at this point but plop hadn't really dropped anything substantial in which I feel you could make a scumread.

Rzr seems pretty towny.

Charu/Storn both seem like a worse version of Stromslyde (greg will get this reference)

And while I didn't originally like Mr.P, I'm definitely liking him more than Xel.

Elaborate some more. Also, this falls in line with what I said about jumping to conclusions with your hider hypo.
