TWG Turbo 41: Trust Fall! [GAME THREAD]

[Charmoeleon]

FUN LIZARD FACT #1

There are multiple species of whiptail lizards who are all-female and reproduce asexually through a process called parthenogenesis. This involves both females taking turns going through the physical motions of reproduction, while no genetic information is changed. Somehow, this still causes embryos to develop, and allows the species to make more of themselves.

Lesbian lizards are pretty cool and I'm glad that they exist

Anyway I'm here for a little bit, gonna catch up on posts now

Reminded me of the cool bug facts where the bug just insults you.

Still havnt figured out how to post pics

I am unaware of this but it sounds like an insect thing to do

Anyway, I might volunteer to exit out the game early. I feel like I'm the kind of player that gets more and more confusing the longer I'm alive in a game. I'll prob try to cheese a meta read so the odds are good for the game to continue or you guys can choose together who I should trust. I'm also curious if there's a player in this game who thinks they can town read me this early in the game, but is also interested to exit out early.

I know it looks sus because a wolf would want to do the exact play that I'm doing, but hey gotta get things started either way.

Tbh I thought about trying to leave early with you because atm I'm not really feeling it but honestly I think you being around is probably a good thing for the game at least early on to get things rolling and it would be kind of selfish for me to just leave after we finally got a game started and I havnt even seen half the players yet.

Also if you are a wolf here I'd probably get roasted in the replies for throwing so w.e I'll stay around. Most I can hope for is maybe in a few days they add and option to revert this or at least add dark mode. Jeez

As if to add a punchline to this post I got a 403 error a bunch of times while making it. Ugh

Not putting too much stock into this but this could potentially read as w/w interaction since they cannot take each other out of the game. Again, very early read, more than likely nothing, but wanted to make a note of it.

Oh shit I absolutely remember a Moe, welcome back!

I work as a regular Member Service Representative, but shot up to MSR IV in like a year and after that the promotions start carrying some more weight. Navy also has a program where you can take college classes to further career development and while they don't guarantee a promotion on their own they certainly look good for when a position opens up. They also help should I ever need to apply at a different company (although I have to pay NFCU back for the classes if I leave the company within 2 years. This particular one is south of 1K but I do not plan to leave this company like eevvveeerrr even when I start my own)

Hi! Glad to be back. ^^

Oh, that's a pretty cool program for them to have! Also sounds like you've got some serious job security if you moved up that quickly, which is great to hear.

if I don't have COVID, I have something
my throat is not doing well this morning
will take a test later; some friends tested positive (idk if I said that before)

hope u r not unwell, toko

Negative for COVID and also the flu
just some post-con bug

and I don't have a fever, raeko
really it is just my throat
it isn't even *that* bad

I'm feeling fine, yeah. Glad you're not stuck with COVID; hopefully your throat gets better soon.

And also does anybody want to play the Survivor Board Game in TTS?? I wanna try it out lol

I'm down! I bought it for ben for last Christmas and we haven't had a chance to play it yet, unfortunately.

extending DEP to (DEP)ARTMENT is the longest word I've ever played. That one I'll remember for a long time. 10s are very, very rare. I haven't had even the opportunity to play a 10 in a while.
FA(N)ZINES for 302 is the highest scoring. I actually scored this at the Honolulu airport in an online game while on the way to your wedding, lmao. I'll probably never play a word worth more.
The first tourney I won, I clinched it (or, effectively clinched it) with the word CANID, and I'll remember that for a long time just from that.
I was talking to someone named Alexander (not Lar) about how ALEXANDER is a word, and then just a week later in an online game, I actually played it, with the X on the triple letter square, too. My friend and I have started placing our best plays into a spot in a discord server and I look forward to rummaging through that sometime in the more distant future. Right now there's not a ton in there.

I think the answer to your question would take too long for me to want to fully explain, and I'm not sure I have the board saved in my engine somewhere, but I remember playing the word LID for something like 20 points, and my opponent immediately being like "...damn" when I did it, because it was just a hugely crippling move. I was really proud of finding the value in a mundane word in such a position, if that makes sense. It completely turned that game around for me.

That all being said, last tourney I went to, I played in a higher division for the first time, and I got my butt kicked. I still have a lot of work to do; it literally feels like a mountain that you'll never stop climbing. Anyways I ran away with this question, but it is your fault for asking me about it in the first place.

also to be clear LID is my favorite word I've played aorn. I guess I forgot to state it explicitly.

I could have had a hundred guesses and I never would have assumed LID was your favorite, lol

Maybe I'll have to start getting into Scrabble too

The problem with your fun lizard facts is that it incentivizes people not to trust fall with you, because if they do, then there are no more lizard facts

clearly, the best way to get someone to trust you is to get them to hate you so they want you out of the thread

I'll try, lol

Actually, speaking of that, I would like to propose something: I don't think anyone should pair up with any of the new players, myself included, until absolutely necessary. I feel like the other seven of you more than likely have a decent idea of how the others might play this out, and therefore have better reads of them. If this is followed and no mistakes are made along the way, that would mean only one new player would need to be taken out of the game. Granted, that would require at least one new player to be a wolf in order to hold true, so take that as you may. To be quite frank, I have no intention of pairing up with anyone in the first two phases of the game, potentially even all three. This is my first time playing here, and I would like to get as much time to play as I can.

If this was a regular TWG I would generally be in favour of not voting for new people in the first day phase unless they do something really wolfy. I like letting them have at least a bit of time to get a taste of the game. So I can agree with this at least for now

And as for me I do intend to probably pair up with somebody but not for a while

This is actually quite a wonderful idea! Wolves would absolutely bite at the chance to get out of the game quickly with someone new and force a win on their end, so us sticking around does nothing but force them to play deeper

[the sun fan]

You can do what you want, but I certainly don't want a new player to feel excluded, that was my biggest fear for this game was that any of the three new players felt excluded.

I'm actually curious as to what you'd consider to be REALLY wolfy in a game like this?

All we really have is ourselves and our gut instincts. We have 0 wagons, and only ourselves to talk amongst

I specifically said in a regular TWG lol

I mean idk fabricated reads or reads that make no sense? looking like they are hardcore protecting a partner? Or some sort of tell that outs them unknowingly because they are new? IDK but even if a new person is howling I think it's nice to let them slide D0
