but i dont feel like really chastising you over it for obvious reasons

I didn't know whether or not your slot was going to be replaced/modkilled, and I figured I'd be here today to continue to push my opinions given Boomer's claim

I was scumreading Chief more (a good bit more, actually)

ok, maybe I can believe that the wolves figured out Molly was the blocker after all
:v

Please msg me if this is incorrect. Flip coming shortly.

i feel it might not even be a good idea to entertain whoever is alive on the zucker wagon

it feels like wolves had options that where not bussing a partner day one

[TWG Phil]

this game is super, super awkward if there's not at least one wolf between julian/rolf

would mean that the zucker wagon was very likely to have been entirely pure, which I think is super, super unlikely (and yes, I am counting the acq as "pure")

I guess that would make Punchy look a little bit worse for his swap onto Chief

[TWG Phil]

Cole has already done more than his previous two predecessors combined

julian

I think there's a good chance that Molly blocked here

I like that you found this post, but I don't like how quickly you found this post.

[TWG Phil]

actually
rolf
for now

Boomer claiming the Molly shot makes me snap Julian, I think

I was looking to see if she did the "if I am the blocker, I blocked x last night" thing

that was what she did instead

if I seriously need to respond to this fear later on, then I will, but lol for now

in a mystery game i dont understand why a wolf would bus in this instance unless zucker was just not a great player and defending him made people look bad.

ill say in 95% of recent games ive seen that a large day one wagon normally always has a wolf on it so i see where you are coming from but i remain unconvinced that this is likely at the moment

[TWG Boomer]

yeah, i popped molly last night. went for the counter-wagon. that is exceptionally unfortunate..
i also think i got saved last night and wolves targeted me in hopes that doc couldn't.

wolves on FFR just can't help themselves, generally
in the most recent game, town was shooting themselves over and over while the wolves were too busy trying to "distance" from one another in mylo

I still get flashbacks (I'm only slightly exaggerating) to when Charu bussed his entire team for the 48th time in an anon game, so it definitely happens

[TWG Cole]

if i am correct two people on that zucker wagon where night killed and chief looks like he was dogpilled last phase

i feel that is telling

i think what is left for me to do is read the thread but i can promise that isnt happening today but it will happen

at least the eods of all phases

julian

going to be gone for a few hours, will check in in little bits

someone else please iso molly and talk about who you think molly would've blocked last night, I think that's the most important thing we can talk about this phase

[TWG Cole]

anything else i should be aware of right now?

Dora claimed acquisitioner, so the 2nd EOD is not really worth your time
honestly, you could skip it once Dora claimed acquisitioner, because it always locked her into being lynched, and aside from some stuff that would come up in isos, not too much important happened

[TWG Cole]

why would dora claim that lol
thanks for the heads up though

In the process of thinking about this, I saw Julian's reads from the previous phase and I really didn't like the read they did on Chief (I can elaborate if need be). In the case they are wolf partners, I thought this was an attempt to make Chief look more favorable. However, in the recent posts, the fact that Julian is bringing attention to the fact that he has Chief higher than null on his reads makes me think that otherwise so I'm not quite sure what to make of that.

-I started entertaining the idea of a Eugene wolf and the reads from flurry and del regarding eugene did somewhat resonate with me. I will definitely say, Eugene is definitely putting in solid effort into the game. However I feel like most games tend to have at least 1 active high-postcount wolf that tends to be near-univerally townread early game so I try not to forget that such wolves can exist. In particular, the posting style seems very towny at first glance: post after post and many interactions. A wolf that's confident in their ability to interact with others can rack up a high post count and have a large "presence" in the thread, so easy townie points. However, as Del brings up, "Eugene is relying a lot off of quoting and then just reacting to a quote, instead of giving raw, genuine thoughts on people/situations". Although one could explain things away by appealing to posting styles, I think that Del might be on to something.

As I mentioned earlier, regardless of whatever alignment you're in, you're clearly putting in a lot of work. And I can definitely understand how a hard-working townie (that's convinced that I'm wolf) would react to my post in the way that you did.

I think Julian got blocked.

[TWG Tank]

Molly being on Julian makes the most sense but uh. doc is a thing gang
so not sure how much that matters
wouldnt be surprised if molly was on him every night tbh
