TWG CLXVII Game Thread How Was Awakening Reviewed

[Tokzic]

I would further venture that 2 of these 3 active wolves have front-loaded activity - that is, they came in strong, and eased back as the phase continued.

is this a meme or should i respond seriously :thinking:

[Hakulyte]

Nah, the meme is that I'm going to afk and miss this EoD, but maybe not because I may manage to come back in time.

HI CEL! Welcome to the game

I like Tokzic the more he posts. I'm not quite sure how to take this Freezin/Backpack interaction, I still think its possible that Freezin is open wolfing. Why did you ignore my beautiful post about you Freezy?

[MixMasterLar]

I feel like we're still missing half of the playerbase but hot damn some people made a return and that's good

That shit was amazing and I thank you kindly for it

I found your spurt of morning postings to be a bit odd. You were mostly just talking to yourself and making a lot of content to read without generating any interactions. Seems like you might have been going for your "volume tell" in an easy way that doesn't involve potentially slipping since you are just talking to yourself.

And now you've voted for multiple inactives, and you don't really seem to care which one of us dies. Fishing to see which vote might stick so you can get a mislynch? :thinking:


Don't you think it would be easier to read me if I contributed a bit more??? That's all I was saying to the other players. I haven't had time to be pouring over the thread constantly, so rather than having pages full of small posts with random content from you who has already posted a lot I would like to see more from the other players. I don't really care if it's hypocritical



Freezin, stap. click the link this was in reference to his open woofing which he has been doing in previous games and probably also in this game

I am 100% sure Raeko only goes after people who call her/inactives out. This is a few too many games of it happening to not be an intentional thing she does.

Also I laughed at the bolded. Yeah we do. Why we want you to do it.

Why haven't you?
You are seemingly giving someone a pass off something that not only doesn't warrant a pass from my point of view but not even checking on it to see if it's true?

Come on

I've defended why I made this list so many times already I'm sick of it. I've always tried to leave a reads list day one/whenever I know I have to dip for long periods of time.

You can bitch when I actually replace out, which will be never. Until then piss off. I can promise you've replaced well much more times then I ever have.

Well.....you can ask SunFan to explain how I actually did it. I'm sure he'd love retelling that story.

Actually, I don't see Raeko as the type of person to make this as wolf, sort of like WnB making a similar joke in our last game (Classics?). I'm good with taking Raeko off the table for today.

She should start hunting wolves and stop just responding to people who threaten her, though.

This is actually a good point. We've hit the seer going for inactives before and that's a real threat.
It's not a bad strat for d2 or d3 though.

Shit's fishy yo

You're triggering me a little bit, which is unfortunate since it's so well-founded, but you've called me out on avoiding two posts so far, neither of which I've avoided in any way. I have a life.

I don't particularly think the interaction is strong evidence of anything presently, it just feels like there's motivation somewhere and even if it's T/T it definitely doesn't read like organic VT/VT duking it out. I'm leaning more T/T right now just because I feel like W/T or W/W would be more obvious, but this is a mystery game, and a larger pool of potential motivators have to be considered.

If you told me it is strong for indicating the number of wolves in a twg game, I'd agree.

If you actually used it, I'd still wonder how the fuck you were aware of such a contextually relevant gif.

[Celirra]

Initial notes, typing as I go as if I'm a scribe or a rubbish movie reviewer who doesn't care about the story as a whole

-Blindreper being testy early on is interesting, but I don't think his interactions with anyone there mean too much. This includes MML being antagonistic, I think it's just a trait of his in twg.

Originally Posted by blindreper1179

This is an interesting post I think. I feel a bit safe about blindreper in general, a bit with thanks to this and a bit with thanks to the rest.

-Tiloco playing off not knowing much about FFR TWG and such in general; I can't confirm nor deny his stature, but if he's bluffing about not knowing much I'm getting a bit of a wolflean I think. That said, I don't think it's enough to say for sure even if he is bluffing. It's more of a it being the first thing that I noticed as a consistent amongst people that could raise an eyebrow.

-I'm surprised it took 121 posts for Haku to post something, but I guess it explains why so little happened

-On the topic of InD early on:

Originally Posted by DarkManticoreX2

I think it's a good description of InD, but also take note of how focused he was on Xiz, which is a bit odd given most of his early posting was agreeing with him.

-I don't think the big read list of MML's is a bad indication of anything, and I think there were more wolfy things he did before that anyways, but nothing even worth quoting. More gut than anything but I think that's more a case of his style. I think I'm looking at MML the same way I'd look at Xel, except a bit less jaded and a bit more tense

-Soundwave is fun as always, same to DBP; aka it's hard for me to read either of them for now

-See back to my mention of InD a few hyphens ago:

interesting how xiz kind of ignored all that, but maybe I'm just noting things I probably shouldn't care about.

Or maybe you're just shy and didn't know how to come in, I wasn't really monitoring browsing activity at all, so who knows.

-Why is Haku caring so much about Lore, I recognize that Haku is passionate about anything there is to be passionate about, but... well hey, on second thought, have fun. I just don't know anything about plot or lore or whatever. I don't even know fully what tv show this is based off of
oh nvm it's fire emblem, that's a game I think. Point stands!

-Raeko ;__;

You're... you're doing pretty much the same.
But I also think that's just how you are

-I'm skipping anything relating to the last fire emblem game or whatever it is Haku/Raeko think is important, because I don't care about the last game and I think I'd be the last person who should analyze it anyways

-DarkManti voting Haku so early off of little more than a glorified hunch is a bit of a frown in my books, I just don't think there's enough to firmly single Haku out for it. This is more just me making note of it so I can see how it goes in the future.

THIS IS ONLY UP TO THE END OF PAGE 14, I HAVEN'T EVEN FLIPPED TO PAGE 15 YET, SO NO SPOILERS I WANT TO SEE WHICH OF THE CHARACTERS FALLS IN LOVE WITHOUT SOMEONE RUINING THE MYSTERY

[Celirra]

Also I think I'm mathematically challenged right now

Can someone confirm if EoD for this phase is in 4 hours 49 mins, or if it's in 28 hours 49 mins?

[Celirra]

actually the big read list thing was me just remembering seeing a hubbub about it and wanted to mention it there, so that might be just a tad bit out of order, ha ha haha ha

[Tokzic]

me consuming fresh celery content

[Soundwave-]

Judging by happens and also (supposedly) being legendary at math, it is ~5 hours.

Also I think you're fun too Celery.

[mellonxcollie]

Tokzic plz Im never going to vote you at this rate just to keep up the lolz

[MixMasterLar]

Ok so

Unvote

I won't vote for Roundbox because of good post+town slip

I won't vote for Freezin because of how gung-ho he is on d0. This is very similar to how he played our first game together where he got aggressive with Gradiant and mislynched for it.

I won't vote Haku because I probably just hate how Haku approaches the game and in all honestly my first read of him being town is probably correct. Reading Haku within the first 10 pages is pretty easy most of the time and Im probably over thinking it. I'll reevaluate him tomorrow.

I do not like DPB's vote on Freezin. I almost want to give him a pass because coming back a third time on d0 is pretty town-DPB but the way he just wants to jump on people is concerning. Welp, I guess that makes me a little black pot to say but still it reads wrong to me. Probably wouldn't vote him unless he drops completely or does something weird.

I can't defend Soundwave but I think people are giving him too much shit. He's lurking now so maybe hell post and I'll have a better opinion of him.

Have yet to see Xel come back, still didn't like his content.

Still think Xiz is not playing his usual game.

I feel that Blind is embracing the whitest of noise

Still disagree with Tiloco, I almost feel like he isn't trying hard enough.

.....that's all for now.

this is completely fucking arbitrary

[DarkManticoreX2]

For Mellon:
me and Tokzic on Haku:

I'm worried you may be trying to generate an early town persona with your effort posting and are currently laying the groundwork to UTR with that town persona intact. Its a good long term wolf play, and I want to keep tabs on it.

Originally Posted by Tokzic

this is an interesting push, i'm a Haku Townreader at the moment but i can maybe see this

if he were to drop off i'd start to wonder but as long as he keeps up this content flow i'll keep drinking it up

Tokzic disagrees, but says he could see this if Haku dropped off of his posting volume. Which was in line with my thought process at the time.

On Soundwave:

Okay, I'll bite for now.

soundwave's entrance post bugged me when I was reading through the thread. My notes say (s)he obviously isn't doing detective work as sumfan posted in post 133 about flashflash's reason for removal, and soundwave guesses about role pm shenanigans in post 188.

Shouldn't have to guess when a solid FACT is in the thread.

Originally Posted by DarkManticoreX2

but i have severe ptsd from wrongly tunneling him last game and losing over it so i've been just assuming i'm awful at reading him

hmmm~

Another instance of Tokzic tailing the Soundwave idea, noting he might be on board with a lynch. Maybe not a mindmeld here, but a similar thought process development here which i'm not sure is organic on tokzic's side.

On InDheart, in reference to his view of how to read the soundwave post that irked me:

I like InDHeart right now

Originally Posted by Tokzic

feeling heavy internal conflict about indheart because his content feels very towny but my gut thinks something tastes off from his usual towngame and i can't put my finger on what it is

Agrees with me again, but adds a qualifier to the end to keep the idea looking unique to him.



I need to look into Tokzic's other pushes because i can't tell if these three items are us both having similar thoughts, or if this is him shadowing me to opportunistically start a wagon if it developed right.

I could see this being organic, and actually I'd like to think it is. Tokzic significantly misinterpreted my play in the last game (I think that's fair to say), and the more neutral stance seems like a rational and organic response.
