TWG CLXVI: Fall Of An Empire Game Thread Day 4

[danceflashrevo]

Allow me to elaborate on Danika, she's new and I don't think she's devious enough to ask me specific noobie questions to make me think she's a certain alignment. For instance, she asked if I was town, and then minutes later she was like "oh you're wolf aren't you". But I believe she was genuine in her paranoia and thus clears her for me for now.

[danceflashrevo]

Also she still puts paranoia in me being townie or not, and I don't think she would keep that up as a ruse.

big whoop

I'm finally in a horizontal position (lying down) after a long day of public transport and adventures through the city of angels. Los Angeles is stealing my heart right now but I haven't actually slept since Monday night.

(Sorry I'm slacking ;. I need a nap. Will be back later tonight.

LA was cool aside from the constant traffic overload and tourism. Good food. I played music by the Doors on some run down glitter-covered piano on the Santa Monica Pier once!

I want to vote Haku as a start, due to his intensity in the chat about my role playing antics. I generally have an off feeling about him this time around. He called me out for doing the same random stuff as last game where I was a wolf, yet he is doing the same brute-analyzing that he did past game when he was human, and I feel that there's a chance that he's not actually human at all.

I'm on mobile, I can't discord chat until I have a computer to use
Sorry if that screws anything up

Hey--finally sitting behind my laptop screen and am trying to catch up before I go to sleep. Then MORE EXPLORING LA TOMORROW! (and for the next three weeks YEE)

I'm going through discord mainly right now (but did notice all the red flashing lights on lightknight so I'm looking at that, too)

"ok so basically your argument is that he seems like he is playing his human game
but he is not human for some reason??
i don't really follow that" -raeko
This was a response to lightknight's push vote on Haku in the thread--I didn't follow it either.

Metas and D1 wolfiness was discussed earlier in the discord and I think I'm not nearly experienced enough for metas to play a roll in anything so..I guess I have next to no input on that.

i said to nakah in pm that i'm a wolf and she didnt take me seriously
(said by CHOOF) -- inb4 choof thinks nakah(lightknight) is a girl?!

Choof actually hardclaimed to lightknight? (seems like it's kinda irrelevant now that I'm reading more--choof confuses me I don't even know what to think)

"Don't poke random people; I have people I want to hear from, and not particularly interested in anybody else right now." sound said this and it immediately rang strange bells in my head. Why is poking at random people a bad thing? Why is that 'advice'? Building a valuable alliance isn't going to happen by just talking to one person (or a few). Why do you only want to hear from a few people? Freezin started going IN on Sound but backed off. Priorities are lying with lightknight at this point but I'm still curious about this 'only wanting to hear from certain people' thing, ~sound~ can you give insight, please?

"I shouldnt haveto explain my vote to you"
~lightknight 2k17

Isn't that the whole point?! I think it's not going to benefit us as a team to have someone just throwing out behaviors/reads with no inclination to support those actions. Even in the case of you //not// being a wolf (which this whole situation just seems scum), MVP definitely not going to you tonight.

UGH I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO READ but I'm submitting this for now.

The roleplaying itself is not that important, but your game feels like white noise even with the discord chat included.
You need to take the hint already and switch gears because if you keep this up, I don't see how I'm going to be able to rely on you for making the game progress.

Why is my "intensity in the chat" regarded as wolfy from you ?
Why are you surprised that I call you out for things you did previously as a wolf ?
Why does "I feel that there's a chance that he's not actually human at all" only apply to me specifically ?

The more you post, the more I have questions instead of answers.
The idea of being town is to try to simplify the game and reach a common ground where we understand what's going on.

I don't see that at all from you and it's making me question my sanity.

[Lightknight924]

Asking the host for replacement. Hope you all get the twg player you feel you deserve. I just want out of this game at this point. I feel like you guys think I don't have the capacity to play TWG on a real level, which isn't true at all if you look at my total TWG history. I may have stopped playing this game for like 3-4 years, so I don't have the case-building post skills like I used to, so I've been resorting to playing lightly and sticking to my interpretations of people's posts on a basic level. A lot of you over-meta this game to an extent that makes it hostile, and you push this hostility on people that don't size up to your level, and that's killed this for me so I'm good on TWG with FFR for now. Good luck this is my last post.

[Hakulyte]

That's silly because there's a lot of reasons why you could be town in this scenario.

[mellonxcollie]

:/ don't give up

I'm not going to vote for you no matter how I feel about your play because I'd rather play with people who I feel are fun to play with, so if you think everyone is just going to automatically pile on you, you're wrong

Beside that, I'm not confident that you are a wolf and we have a lot of time left in the phase still. I think it's a bit odd how so many people are willing to vote for you so quickly and put you so close to insta... if I had to guess, I'd say there are wolves in the pile up

[Lightknight924]

Alright I take it back I'm still in this.

I was just about to make a post urging you not to leave, I'm glad you're sticking around. I've got to get ready for the day (LOS ANGELES IS CALLING ME!) but I wanted to say stuff regarding you leaving because your post seemed very genuine, and the empathy chords were struck maybe too hard (not a rip on you, Nakah, just it's tough to see people take things personally to the point of it being a strong negative emotional weight--since I've let this game eat at my soul in the past to the point where I felt like my IRL was in danger in terms of taking care of myself). It's not to say you feel the same, or I know *exactly* what you felt...but I'm glad you're sticking it out.

I want to make a more in depth post, but since I've got to get ready, I need to go do that....

I think maybe rethinking the vote on him is reasonable. I can explain why, but not now, and maybe not even soon (LEGIT LA IS TAKING OVER MY BRAIN GOTTA DO ALL THE THINGS) but sometime today.

Which means we should probably keep eyes out for other scummy stuff and not get tunnel vision? (I'm pretty guilty of tunnel vision appearinf n all aspects of my life, so it's fair to say it may seep into games)
