I do. I'm not saying that he shouldn't claim, it's a response for dbp.

TBH Xel is a(n elf) dick.

Can we get a solid reads list when your done?

If we have two killing forces in the game they may have assumed the other would take care of it to not double stack.

Which leads to the tinfoil of both thinking that and double-stacking on Freezin, which is lols

Then again I'll believe Bodyguard before I believe that.

TBH it's lack of progression not that they changed.

I feel Soundwave is a push away from partners.

Freezing being the only town read is muy importante I think. Might be why he died?

See, if wolves where admitting that they couldnt get Freezin scumread that points that, in the event that we have an SK, that the wolves went after Freezin and -not- the outed Blue.

Which is fucking stupid.

See above. I mean it's theorycraft but it's too intriguing not to.

They're null (as far as this goes). I would have stopped at Manti but IIRC Manti was actually last to make that vote (and suspiciously late, too. Like, "I know my partner is gonna die so bus his ass" suspicious)
Add that with his very subpar vote EoD0 and it just makes me question it.

TBH as far as votes making people look favorably go only to the first two, maaaaaaybe three votes make someone look better. Past that, generally the person is town if there was a counterwagon on a confirmed Town but bussers can chime in. It really is a toss up and only worth noting to compare with other EoDs (Because if you keep voting wolves it doesnt matter how you are you are fucking town)

The Xel-->Freezin connection implying that the proper wolfteam killed him, vesus an SK, is interesting and really makes me question how experience the wolfteam is.

Past that, we can (And should) revisit that kill when we see if there are two kills next night phase. I wanna know for sure if someone was saved or if we just had a one-shot that first night

Reasons for doubting guardian: If it's a one-shot kind of guardian then that's fair, but honestly... I have trouble thinking of a better d0 guardian target than Roundbox, who wasn't saved. That's just my own take on it though, unless I'm missing someone else who might've been guarded d0.

Point 1 is good but I don't know if it's wise for him to say too much.

The Roundbox point is actually really good. I might have tried and saved Haku had I been the one with that power (as someone who was being townread, and as someone who annoys half the community, I've seen him get NK'd first a few times) but clearly that didn't happen either

TBF he doesnt have to give a name, and he's hardly what I consider massclaiming.

But I think I agree that he should be conservative

[tiloco217]

So I think I've decided that I am going to give you guys an explanation of my role that is as vague as possible.

I'm given a choice between 2 actions that I can do every night (I choose which one 24 hours before eod).

One of these powers gives guaranteed information but the info it gives is not particularly helpful.

The other has a chance of giving information but if it does it's very good.

I've used the latter ability both nights and gotten nothing from it. I am probably going to use the first ability tonight. That might have something to do with danceguy's post but I doubt it considering none of the other flips have had choices to make (aside from maybe john doe but that's very different).

[MixMasterLar]

Gonna try and reset some of these reads to an extent.

5) Celirra
Cel is honestly starting to enter white noise territory for me, but he does make some good points now and again. I must confess that his insistence on the idea that guardian is a role is unlikely strikes me like he knows more then he is letting on. Like knowing the gimmick(s) of the game more, perhaps?

I had a pretty positive impression of him but that one thing is urg.

8) Xiz
Xiz has made a few great points but he's still not posting like himself. He's upping his volume which is good.

9) Tokzic
Being counter to a wolf is normally something that slants you town, but the idea that because it was a vanilla wolf and wolves wanted to save the important one has merit if for no other reason then the fact that Xel didn't countervote, as others have pointed out.

I think that he looks better all the same, but I also think the points made that got him wagon'd in the first place have merit. I voted for Tokzic at a point last EoD, afterall. I want to see what he brings today but if it's more two line post and little progression I won't defend him from being lynched.

10) tiloco217
Claims to be a blue, his survivor would be fishy in any other game but lol mystery. Personally there is no reason not to believe him at this point unless he keeps magically surviving. Since he outed, dropping hints for town while protecting his character/details would be nice and I agree with whoever said that he needed to do more to help town--because if he doesn't then I'm going to think he's a lying wolf taking advantage of a setup where no one can counterclaim.
I mean he didn't even give a vague role type you know?

11) DarkManticoreX2
Votes are fishy as fuck. Post seem solid but votes are garbo.
Then again he did lynch a wolf last EoD which is more then some of us can claim so I don't wanna be hard on him. It's our first game so I hate to make assumptions but my understanding is that old school players dont normally bus (Charu notwithstanding).
I just think we need to keep an eye on him.

12) blindreper1179
Your game has been garbage, man. That said, you seem to be taking this phase much more seriously. Rather that's a town who's trying to rethink his game or a wolf who knows he can't get away with the shtick anymore is yet to be seen. My money's on the later but you said that you'll be serious effort in this phase after IRL matters. I'll give you your time and gauge you again before EoD.

13) Wayward Vagabond
Needs to up the content. Is in the middle of reading the thread and if he follows that up with some thoughtful commentary that'll be enough for me (Remember, he's taking Raeko's slot.)

14) DaBackPack
DPB keeps coming back like his town self but he hasn't been bringing that fire his town self has. He did do maximum effort at EoD when he realized that he misremembered the time the phase ended, and that looks good. He also voted Xel, and while he did it late I think all things considered it probably keeps him at town. I wanna see more of DPB ripping the game up but he's still kind of off the table for me.

16) Soundwave-

Hasn't posted today. Actually, this was his last post:

I don't think he has contributed much to the game overall, but he did vote Xel so that looks good.



And wait that isn't everybody? Isn't InD still in the game? InD looks super fucking clear from the votes alone. He's off the table as far as I am concerned.

[MixMasterLar]

Of fucking course Til makes a post that makes me look stupid as I'm writing mine lol

That's a very unique little power, but it seems exactly like the type of power that a mystery game would have.

Exceeeeeeept it conveniently lets you A) still not know anything that you can tell us and is the type of power that wolves can easily fake.

But considering the lack of a second kill, I believe you. This chances if one shot is confirmed btw so I'd like to see you go full rage detective mood on town's behalf. Please don't make me think you're being lazy.

Manti is listed next but I could have sworn he was the last to vote Xel. I don't think this excuses Manti's weird EoD vote from before. If anyone is bussing here it is him.

I don't really think InD deserves that many town points here.

Generally speaking, without taking everything else into context, when a second wagon comes up kitb and tiebreaker get the most points and it goes down from there.

That makes me feel a decent bit better about you in particular.

InD and tokzic are no change from this imo, which is okay with me, I feel pretty okay about them. DBP, and especially Manti I would agree on: keep in mind as potentially woof. This vote looks mildly okay for them but right after the tiebreak is the easiest place to slip in a bus.

If you 50/50'd it with a team of 4 entirely different people I would bet on thsi team every time. That being said I don't like Xiz on there especially, he doesn't look like a super likely wolf to me right now.

Might? I'd like to know whether or not you're sure on this.

There's also a non-zero chance that this is more than enough information to guess a name by if that's even a concern but I wouldn't know.

Naw, I doubt characters are that closely tied to their abilities

I don't play FE tho

It's certainly possible, but I have no idea, since yeah, don't play FE either.

That's great and I am happy for you
When I post in the game I post about things in the game
In the game, you hadn't posted today so I get to point it out.
And if you disappear from here to literally climb Mt Everest to mine goat guts that cure cancer and save an European village from aids I will thank you for helping earth right after I call you out for not posting because in the game that's what matters and that's what I am going to post

So, fucking deal with it

[MixMasterLar]

...That got a little mean
Basically it's game related since you don't have as much content to look at while you are gone and I feel justified in bringing it up

[Celirra]

Perks of being an unemployed dork like me is it gives me a fair chance to look things over several times and typically reply punctually of anything asked of me directly.

Wouldn't recommend it though, it's quite depressing.

I don't need to be unemployed to be depressed.

Wait I am unemployed.

Fuck.

That's fair. Won't make me magically post things while I'm gone tho.
