Good morning (or evening). Just woke up and I'm gonna catch up before I fall asleep again on the bus

This is something interesting I never considered regarding the acquisitioner. They absolutely would have to emulate the time of day who they acquired plays. This is tricky seeing as last night while I was catching up there were roughly 3 individuals including myself that were awake between the hours of 1am and 6am Eastern time

[TWG Eugene]

I never really thought of how the IRL time of day based on when we're around could affect a read on someone, but I think the acquisitioner role applies in this instance

I read "Villager" as a town aligned player.
I assume roleblocking a town aligned player doesn't make sense for a town PR role.
I assume blocker is a bodyguard.
My fault to skimming OP too fast.

If we assume the Acquisitioner doesn't want to move, that makes blocker/roleblocker/PI useless.

Who says that there's wolf daychat?

OR they wanted to move, but were prevented from doing so... which I feel is far less likely than the acquisitioner submitting nothing at all seeing as our PI would have had a VERY low chance of hitting them on the first try.

...are you serious? Please to back to page one and to look at gimmicks.

Hi I just finished reading from the beginning of the day until now and nothing has happened. Almost all the talk has been about speculating on what happened in the night which doesn't do anyone any good. I get the feeling that wolves are driving the conversation to make it as pointless as possible to get the least information on the coming days.

I will say I do like Eugene Mr swag koala

Oh really? That's the first thing I thought of thinking about the role and avoiding suspicion.

[TWG Rolf]

Julian still looking good to me, the vote on Del at the time was valid considering Del's play before the claim. The vote was switched off after the claim which doesn't lend itself to the 'tunneling' some players are accusing Julian of. Using the point that Del claimed PR to say that Julian's vote is worse now is pretty outrageous considering wolves also wouldn't know who's a PR or not. People going onto Julian because of this are trending downward for me as it seems to be the most basic surface-level attempt at trying to look like they're scum hunting.

someone could provide literally any excuse as to why their times changed up. Work, school, it was weekend vs week day, event, sick, whatever.

That would make it VERY hard to acquire and actively play as a few people in this game in terms of what time of day they're usually active

This was the direction I was heading in next, actually.

Okay? And which part of that gimmicks list are you referring to? There's no mention of daychat there, and there's been lots of games where wolves have a quick-topic that they're only able to use in night phases.

Just... Just cuz they don't know who's a PR doesn't mean that they can't accidentally tunnel one...?

[TWG Chrissy]

Julian's chiller to me than they used to be now, don't get me wrong, but that reasoning doesn't make sense to me.

...I was NOT aware of wolfchat being available at night only and I didn't know that possibility existed. In every game I've played wolf chat was forever always active day and night

What are your thoughts on Julian's vote on Del last phase?
