TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

Day 1 was mostly a lot of danceguy, fiction, and jrodd arguing.

Using activity as a litmus test for humanness I wouldn't really consider any of them high priority targets because to be that active that early into the game is the sort of things humans with experience do. Fiction is the only person I don't give this sort of deference to completely because he has sweet talked his way through a wolf role many times.

Still the person who stands out to me the most is charu, and that's because his tone still has a sort of friendly reticence to it. It's the sort of thing the concerns me because his meta has already established that you can't expect much out of him. (Probably because he is too dumb and/or emotionally walled off by that pleasant exterior to actually say how he feels about something.)

Manti definitely is wolfy for his whining about the lack of powers of a wolf role, but to bandwagon this early makes me feel like we are wasting our time with many hours left in the phase. I don't feel like this is such a wholly condemning tell to kill him just yet. He also hasn't really provided anything useful to think about this game. I ask myself what we are gaining by bandwagoning manti right now, and given the lack of prods and attacks I feel it is not much. His day one play was pretty lackluster though.

Manti do you really feel that in order for you to play this game successfully you must rely on my browbeating of others? I kinda think that is horseshit, and has almost become this trope you subscribe to. I feel like you were successful in this game well before I started playing with you. I mean I guess it's always possible that your play has become shitty and lazy because you've found someone else to do the work for you.

I'm concerned about the replacements. Replacing has a strong tendency to help wolves and wolves tend to do this when they realize that they don't feel up to the challenge of lying for two weeks straight.

I'm curious as to what made you vote manti and I also want to know your opinion of danceguy and crazyjayde thus far.

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

I want to see activity from all players in the next 24 hours.

If you choose to remain quiet, know that I will hold it against you.

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

no but serious:

My current theory as to why i'm most likely not a wolf is that last night's phase wasn't contingent on yoman's input being sent in. Also, why would yoman give up anything other than a boring human.

Yup, I'm human as possible.

I'll go back and read the thread now.

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

All this switching out is bullshit. Why sign up for a game if you don't want to see it through to the end?

Also, I feel like wanting more effective/balanced roles is kind of neutral regardless of what affiliations a player has and I would be hesitant to call someone one way or the other based on that desire. In a game somewhat recently fabricated I think it's beneficial to try to work out the kinks, but I'll agree that it's also kind of frustrating to actually experience.

I really dislike the "list your top three suspects and top three non suspects" mechanic but likely exclusively because the last time I saw it implemented Alain made some stupid graph with it and it was largely distracting datamining that ended up being useless to everyone (though this is kind of because the data was collected and then disassociated from the origin -- I can easily see the use it would have based on an individual level. (Sorry Alain.)

svaz I just noticed this, the list your top 3 thing was to try and get pntballa talking because I was feeling a bit uneasy about that and he wasn't giving any reads on anybody, the top 3 thing is variable

Are you just that good that your unfettered opinions are all you need to bring to the table?

Yes.

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

that im not as convinced fiction is definitely a wolf as I was at eod

that I really still think manti complained about a wolf role from a wolf perspective

that all these excuses are probably more likely to be wolves than not but I cant really act on that

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

What ideas?

Re: TWG CI: Fiction's Birthday Party

So let's start off this phase right. Jrodd and fiction it doesn't really matter what roles you are you are playing this game with way too much confidence.

I always find confidence, while being an extremely attractive quality, to also lead to a lack of self-awareness. You get happy, you get comfortable, you stop scrutinizing yourself for how you can improve, and then your presence of mind fades. The GM of my company is excessively confident and he wears magnet bracelets and those minima shoes with individual toe pockets. No one will tell him he's ridiculous, and he rarely exists in that state of mind where he applies scrutiny to himself.

The question this brings me to ask you two is why are you so comfortable with your playstyle right now? I mean jrodd calls out every villager read and then changes it later. Fiction literally posts every single thought that pops into his head. Are you just that good that your unfettered opinions are all you need to bring to the table?

And I guess the far bigger, far more pressing question is why are you both so comfortable that you decided to argue about your dispositions at night? And I don't care about your rationalizations for the arguments specifics since there is barely any acceptable reason to do that in any game and I believe both of you were fully cognizant of your rationalizations when you posted.

Far more interesting to me is how you rationalize your comfort with the behavoir, what made you open in the first place to chosing to behave in that way during that time -- what were you seeking to gain? This is the question I can't anwser.

ok but in all honesty, now im not too confident, im saying what I think at that point in the game and change it if reason leads me to believe I do. ive said multiple times I suck at eod but I think I actually had a good one yesterday. the retracted villa reads were on svaz and maybe yoman but I defended him yesterday

arguing at night benefits the wolves thinking about it now, but idc it helped form ideas for me

TPS shot up through the floor out of fucking nowhere, sending YMIA out of his chair, through the roof into space, where he suffocated due to the lack of oxygen, where he was never heard from again.

TPS has replaced YMIA
