Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

T-Force, why the town read on Mashi? Is it just because post density?

Basically. Like I said, it's a monumental amount of effort that I don't see any wolf making.

Do you have any comment on the quality of his posts?

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

fwiw I think it's almost impossible for Mashi to be a wolf after reading the first EoD

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

He insistently voted for Charu and spoke out against the AA CFD lynch ----- which seems more towny since it speaks to actual investment in the outcome of the lynch

You can say that since it was town v town, Mashi had no reason NOT to pretend invested, but I think the AA nightkill illuminates us a little bit

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

I'll look further in depth at him tomorrow. The one thing that's sketching me out about him is his constant disappearances.
inb4 pot calling kettle black
Actually, speaking of disappearing, where's Lar? I haven't seen him in thread and his only post was at 2:52 AM my time and it was to vote for DBP.

From D2 and 3, the biggest thing is his giant-ass wall of text where he reads each player, and backs each read with about 10 links to posts for each player. It all comes down to effort, in my opinion, and having to re-read the thread (possibly multiple times) to substantiate each read is something that I can't see a wolf doing - and if they are, they deserve a goddamn medal.

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

to reiterate I'm pretty sure AA was a wolf nightkill and not a Xiz nightkill

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

I'm gonna step out for about a half hour or so to grab food. I'll be here for another hour after that, but I have to head to bed after that because of work. I'll be back before EoD though.

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

Mashi is probably the strongest player in this game and the night actions don't entirely make sense if he was a wolf, I would imagine him to use the nightkill to further an agenda

and killing AA doesn't make sense, since Mashi would easily have been able to start a wagon on AA in the following day if he wanted to.

But he expressly rejects an AA lynch:

I am completely against an AragakiAyase lynch.

which completely severs an "easy out" for the following day.

I don't think Mashi is a wolf here

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

The little nagging bit in my mind is that when I played wolf with Mashi in the fake-mason game, he as a wolf was really diplomatic and considered my opinions even though there was an obvious power/experience imbalance. Meaning that he might have been swayed into nightkilling AA if someone could convince him that he was a PR or SK. But again I don't see this being the case here

On top of that, there's the actual quality of his posts. I don't really care about the volume or density, but his posts are insightful and together betray his attempts at synthesizing information and pushing his own reads

this same attitude is why I was reading reuben town earlier

from my memory wolf reuben usually posts a lot of mechanics/math/alignment neutral stuff but not actual reads or attitudes. This game he's posted less, but there are glimmers of opinions and synthesis there

T-Force is kind of in the same camp, but to be honest I can't read him that well altogether

I think I'm used to T-Force being neutral as a wolf which isn't here

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

so actually I feel better because I just need to evaluate YoshL and inDheart's posts again, and -maybe- MML's again, but he's my weakest town rn

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

dbp

(one minute before EoD)

this vote is a lil weird ---- he definitely set up the reasoning for his vote, but he has to have known that there was no way that a lynch on me would have happened (it was AA v MML at that point)

it could just be a bad towny vote, or he actually wanted to push a lynch on me with 1 minute to go, but it's just as likely that he didn't want to get his hands dirty with a town v town lynch -> chose somebody who wasn't gonna flip

Re: TWG CLVI: The Grand TWGabout - GAME THREAD

well because it's getting late, i don't feel bad about switching - i would've really liked dude to come back though

zenith

this looks good for inDheart -----> switching vote from Yoshi to Zenith would look bad normally, but from his posts it seems like he was ready to see Yoshi die but only didn't because he didn't appear before EoD

it's hard to articulate but I hope I'm getting my point across
