TWG Turbo 41: Trust Fall! [GAME THREAD]

[MixMasterLar]

Lsr that read on me makes no sense, I was vibe posting at the start then tried doing some game related stuff, how is that falling off...? I mean I just slept for the last 8 hours, are you talking about that?

Cause if so bruh

I'm not but it probably didn't help my perception at all admittedly. I guess the honest answer is other then the quarantine idea nothing else you've said has stuck

And I don't know if I jive with the quarantine idea as much as like, I would do it to prevent people from just mass falling

Please talk to me about Raeko being town for the meme...Last game I played I had a fucking conniption and meltdown when she was a wolf, but then again that was three years ago so maybe she's changed in terms of playstyle?

Naw it's just, the one time we decided to join up in the name of Ayu it worked beyond our wildest dreams. Fantastic game.

It's also very NAI for her to go long periods of time and only show up as soon as someone misgenders her so I mean she doesn't have anything going against her as far as my read on her, but yeah it speaks to the poor state of my game that she gets to be top three for it.

Also, while I'm addressing you, I may as well throw this out there: as someone related to Gal, do you have any idea why they haven't posted in the thread yet? Is there any chance you can request that they make an appearance? Having nothing to go on from their slot really hurts town.

Careful here, in some circles it's frown upon to try and fetch people for the game/speculate on things not stated in thread (admittedly FFR is fairly lax on this like Raeko speaks on Round box's behalf all the time)

Honestly I don't think there was anything super valuable. Even when I posted them I said that I didn't feel great about any of them. You have to admit though, asking someone for their reads and then just... not engaging with them at all is not a great look, yeah?

If I asked specifically you for reads, then yeah. That didn't happen though I asked for general reads to get the newer players engaging with the game.

This was the main one, I thought it made sense and went against conventional wisdom for what everyone seems to be wanting to do this game but I just got ignored oof

Still disagree with this

Lar: Who are your top two wolf reads at the moment?
Please keep giving your opinions on the game, I think I may place you above Lewdy on my list if you do.

SunFan and Galanx. Lynch All Inactives 4 Lyfe

SunFan would want me to not say Galanx so I'll say Duc

Everyone: If you had to nominate a pair of players to trust fall with each other (excluding yourself), who would you choose?
To answer my own question, I would probably say haku/raeko, as per my earlier read list.

Haku and probably you.

Lol lar I think the latest thing I said might stick with you for good or ill

surely this avatar will get me trusted by the masses

I'm not really trying to be read town here. That's just going to be a consequence of my actions that will come naturally if I want it to or not.

Time for me to give a hot take that will cause me to get hit by hammers

If we arnt going with my Quarantine idea I'm on the borderline of thinking a reads list seems kind of whatever, it's just a tool to air out suspicion and subtly point the finger of shame (tm) at specific people. The issue is without the threat of a lynch this means nothing, and socially it only means as much as each individual person is willing to give it credence.

To puf it a different way, no matter how much you think someone is or isn't wolfy in a normal twg, the end result of a end of day vote for a lynch is a universal constant in TWG. Death means the same thing no matter what the reasons are or what people think about it. And death is universally undesirable in TWG as either faction 99 times out of 100 so the threat of it keeps people in line

Without that threat in this game, what is considered normal TWG play becomes an invisible fence, a toothless threat. I could just sit around and do nothing all day or act in a way that seems extremely shady by the common metric of TWG play and as long as 1 person isn't bothered by it my behavior won't be punished. That's the main difference that people don't seem to be grasping here.

So Toko, no I will not be giving a reads list. Not now. Maybe not ever, who can say? Why does it matter that everyone knows who I'm suspicious of? Free your mind

I almost liked this post a lot and then the ending happened

That was a bit of rebelliousness, I'll probably give a reads list if only because I realize public perception matters at a baseline, not that I think anyone should really care who other people find suspicious

I might trust Legoshi more than Louis which is funny to say in TWG context.

[FreezinIce]

Like for example, you find sunfan suspicious Lar. Should I feel something for this? I feel nothing. Sunfan is not going to be lynched and go away because of your suspicions. Nothing tangible is going to happen.

How I feel about sunfan stands on its own merits and isn't affected by you at all unless I give in to social pressure.

if someone were to be like "I really trust shadow_god rn, I really want to trust fall with them" I would try to talk them out of it
I don't know if I completely disagree with what you're saying about not trusting people, but I guess I can see some merit of what you're saying

but more importantly you're like "wow everyone is nullreading me, is my microphone on?" and then you post this stuff
so idk what you were expecting

This was exactly the reaction I was hoping for

Because nothing I'm saying should lead to a null read. Its all either vibing or controversial stuff. I expected a bad reaction or a good reaction. I didn't expect nothing at all

Legoshi has neither horns nor antlers, non-starter for me sry

horn/antler fact #2 that I googled 3 seconds ago
the Jackson's Chameleon is the smallest animal with horns (~30 cm), and the pudu is the smallest animal with antlers (~40 cm) (I promise I didn't mean to intrude on your turf, Toko)

[TWG Michael Scott]

I don't trust Sunfan

Ohhh. Buuuurn. That must sting...

-visibly winces-

Okay. Okay. I want everyone to take a breath because what just happened is a completely normal and valid part of the Trust Fall process and there is absolutely no reason for anyone to feel weird right now. If it feels hot in here, it's probably me. My heart has been pounding, pumping blood right to my face. Am I red? I feel red.

the sun fan, look at me. Look at me. You did everything right. You were vulnerable, you were brave, you put yourself out there completely and honestly? That is more than most people ever do. I once knew a guy in Scranton, HR department, I wish I could say he was a great guy, but he wasn't. Anyway, the point is that he spent fourteen years wanting to say something to someone and never did. Just sat on it. I'm not going to say who. It was Toby.

The point is, you stepped up. You really did. And now you can dust yourself off and find somebody else in this room to believe in. The offer is back on the table. You are back on the table. And you are a hell of a catch.

As for Hakulyte... Ouch! They just put their heart on their sleeve for you and you walked all over it. Just... stepped on it and squeezed it and ate it whole. Ice cold! It's a good thing you don't live in Scranton, or I'd worry about you.

[FreezinIce]

Yep that trust fail flavor was just as good as I hoped
