TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

[Shadow_God_10]

Basically what I'm saying here is that if I was a wolf, the game would be over and none of us would be here right now

[Not devonin]

I haven't played in like, what five plus years, and you've had FFA and Storn to talk to the whole game. Are you suggesting your defense here is "I suck too bad"?

You mean like, all the times you already have all but conceded? You've been a lynch option numerous times already

and actually unvote until we hear from Hakulyte, that's a little uncomfortable

[Svaz]

oya, I sent somethin like "sick wheels bro" to rb but he's dead so he can't confirm, so rip

[Not devonin]

How you managed to post basically the same number of times I did, and somehow come up with a voting slate of

Day 1 - nobody
Day 2 - the 10 player Antori wagon
Day 3 - nobody
Day 4 - nobody
Day 5 - nobody
Day 6 - Almost insta XelNya, claim if Xel wasn't a wolf, town was 'fucked'

Is beyond the claims of "It's only my second game" and lands firmly in the "Likewise, my reads basically had no wolves the whole game either, and none of the slim few I had were -actually- wolves, which indicates I'm a wolf in my second game who hasn't quite figured out how to ACTUALLY go UTR, and got extremely lucky" camp

honestly this was what caught -me- up a lot as wolf, was making convincing cases on people I believed to be wolfy when I already knew who the wolves were, it's an uneasy mix of "who do I nearly bus" and "which of these towns is most easy to send to the shadow realm" whereas here it was comparatively pretty easy to follow my heart and find some sneaky mfers

I notice this take has been entirely discarded.

[Svaz]

not to mention honing in on completely distracting elements of the game like "who will activate my powers?" (re: the pages of discussion on potential lovers) and really emotional plays and frankly theatrical reactions to player deaths

Didn't you, though?

this concession blended with some emotionally charged pity garnering:

There are way better players in this game than I am, and I believe this is a necessary loss for town and it was going to happen eventually. I think you know where I'm going with this.

and absolutely this one:

Decisions needed to be made. This one is necessary for a town win. I know what I'm doing is upsetting but I'm a new player surrounded by players who are far better than I am. This is the only solution I can think of, and I want this to pay off in spades. It's frustrating for me as well but I can't see myself walking out of the massive crater that I've put myself into.

As for a sub, I would rather have the remaining sub be more useful than this. I had a lot of fun playing with all of you!

if that isn't a concession, what would be?

as a bonus, here are some of the theatrics I mean:

What if Funnier has a daykill option that allows to kill someone, at the cost of not being allowed to post for the rest of the phase and it's not a modkill?

This would be under the assumption that Funnier would have to charge this power (I'm gonna use 3 days here because it makes sense to me)

this take on storn before his sweat fueled death:

this kinda fits with my initial theory that lost wolves knew who the mommywolf was, fwiw:

I just. I have a bad feeling about FFA but I can't confirm it. This is probably just bias from when he was wolf in the last game, as for RB I just couldn't think of anything else he could possibly be.

Inb4 do reads list again.

I prefer the first option here. The second makes it seem like I knew what I was doing the entire time and if you're going to convince me that I knew what I was doing, then you'd be wrong. Hysterically wrong. I still don't have a firm grasp on the game, and you're taking advantage of it to bury me alive which makes this even funnier to me.

I'm still maintaining my claim that I definitely DO NOT KNOW.

speaking to this, I found this somewhat relevant post from earlier on:

I'm not bullshitting anyone right now, I've been legit scared to speak my mind because being wrong is something that terrifies me. But from what I can see and what everyone is saying to me: you can be wrong a couple times as long as you're being read the right way by everyone else.

[Svaz]

Alright I'll stop spamming the thread with quotes.

Shadow, right now your running strategy is, "Not devonin's power, that he already explained, totally didn't work in the way that he's said it would, and also me, without powers, how could I possibly wolf roundbox???" am I correct?

Anyway gonna drive for like an hour, mobile postin' from here on out o7

Why the hell would I want Roundbox dead? He was literally the only person town reading me out of the rest of you who were fence sitting on me last phase. That's pretty stupid imo

[Hakulyte]

Game is still going ?

[Not devonin]

Votes right now are me and Shadow voting each other. Svaz voted shadow but unvoted to wait for you

[Hakulyte]

I'm assuming you guys are trolling and made this F4 happen for fun.

[Not devonin]

If by trolling you mean, I baited out exactly the action I needed to confirm Shadow was the wolf, and now we win instead of going into an F3, sure.

[Not devonin]

I set him up to go for a kill that wasn't me because he assumed I'd get lynched today when I didn't die, meaning he could kill one of you tonight and win, but I called the kill correctly and confirmed he was the wolf.

[Hakulyte]

My PoE was Svaz/Shadow so you doing this is confirming that it's between you and Shadow which is a no brainer for me.

I need to read the last 3-4 pages.
