jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

So we are 12 hours in and I have maybe 1 read I would say I am confident in :/ If you guys want to shitpost at least make it worth my while

The one read I am kind of confident in is riotpolice so I'm gonna go ahead and vote on him. I think the way he decided to become serious about the game so quickly is weird for him. I actually read his calling out choof for the claim pretty null but him staying out of shitposting instead of trying to meld back in seemed like hew as trying too hard.

I am going to give a slight town read to both choof and charu but those are very tentative. I like choof for playing similar to how he played last game which I initially was reading as null because as mafia he would want to mimic that game but him bringing up anecdotal fallacies is not something I think he would do if he was trying to mimic his last game.
Charu I like because this is very similar to his live game in that most of what he says is lighthearted and meaning less (also we are mason partners)

I think I will also throw a bit of pressure onto Gradient because I think his initial couple posts seemed pretty awkward. The posts were sort of like lurker last game but it came at a weird time and his recent posts aren't nearly as aggressive. I would like to know how much you have played before by the way

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

I'm kind of bored so I am going to go ahead and answer choof's questions (although I think they are pretty dumb and don't matter :P)

1) I was reading through the last twg game and was annoyed that I couldn't yell at you guys for the dumb things you were doing so I decided to play again.

2) I don't enjoy it but it is the best way to start the game and most of the time you can get pretty decent town reads from it. Even in the last game when YoshL tried to make shitposting stop right away I still got a town read on James May and Redblaster from it

3) I think meta matters less here then it does on DM. It is way harder to mimic play when you have to actually talk face to face so meta is everything there. Here you can think out your posts and your body language and tone of voice don't matter at all so meta isn't as reliable.

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

good morning

it's goddamned cold here in Peterborough, chilly morning.

gonna reread the thread and try to at least make a dedicated vote. I don't want to vote off of a meme unless that's really the only option I have here.

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

Ok. So. Looked over the thread, I see a lot of different play styles, a couple play styles that are the same, it appears there is some confidence in voting riotpolice, just not sure if that's the right decision. He's obviously very interested in staying in this game for right now, so it shows that he must be playing an important role other than townie, but whether that's a blue or a wolf, I'm not entirely sure.

If he can't make a hard claim for a blue role without setting someone else off, then I will know that he's a wolf. But then again, that would mean that whatever hard claim he makes for said role, it's going to open wide the person that actually has said role. Based on that deduction, I can conclude that riotpolice does not have a blue role. unvoteing, and going on riotpolice.

the edit was separating the giant block of text, making it easier to read.

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

In the future never edit at all even to fix things and you don't have to unvote before revoting

Also I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that riotpolice was not a role through that. What is your opinion on the other people that are pushing on riotpolice?

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

A bit extra in-case it wasn't clear in the final reasoning I had if it's needed.

If he has or had a claim for a blue role, he hasn't made the claim known in the time before making my post, which carries suspicion. It could be that he still wants to stay in this game for as long as possible, but for what? He turned the other way when challenged, clearly showing that he's hiding something and that is why he wants to stay in-game. At this point, if he's Townie, he's doing a really bad job of it.

If he makes a hard claim for a blue role now, it's going to put another in danger if he doesn't have a blue role. Evidently this would be very bad to do for a wolf right now, because it can be easily pointed out that he's lying, and he would have done it earlier with the obviousness that he is in-fact hiding a role. The fact that it would put him in greater danger to say he has a blue role he doesn't have rather than keep it away from the public, is what keeps him from sharing that knowledge.

gs editing posts will get you modkilling
I assume tsf will give you a pass but in general the only person that will ever edit a post will be a mod and only if they're not playing the same game

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

talking about potential roles could also be a bad thing because if scum mind meld with you they'll kill riot and incriminate you

Re: jTWG LXXIII: An Excursion to Zimbabwe

I think Choof made the call on riotpolice quite early in the case of suspicions, but proved quite a strong claim on that call while bickering with him. I do agree on choof pointing out that riot stopped to question the seer claim, turned all serious, and then tried to shy away from the conflict was enough to raise my suspicions.

The only other real suspicions I have are early game gut suspicions, like Charu's random posting, Zenith's eagerness to get to the end of this day, and CK's lack of posting.

right. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

GoldStinger, I know that this is your first game in FFR (or at least it think it is) but have you played anywhere else before?
