Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

So unless I'm blind, no one has talked about this post much, and we really should. Because this is a dumbtell, right?

i feel like i have somehow never read that post before

sorry roundbox, pretty sure that'd be what you're responding to

Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

What part of that is a dumbtell?
What the fuck are you going on about?
I'm against claiming btw since that looks to be in question.

Quoting the relevant post again:

I thought about just claiming if you asked for a role or not.

I read this as, "rather than roleclaiming, we could just say if we requested a role."

Wolves probably already have an idea since their roles are affected by how many of us ask to be blue so that information probably benefits town a little more---but in the event only 2 of us asked that straight up tells the wolves who's the strongest and who to kill so I don't really favor this plan either.

Your reasoning, apparently, is that wolves can probably approximate our blue roles by their status. It's true that the number of town blues affects wolf blue powers, and vice versa. But there's absolutely no indicator of how that works--and that's a good thing for us, because your plan ignores the fact that the wolves can sabotage our roles and even steal one if they guess the number of claimants correctly.

You do, ultimately, decide that your bad idea is in fact a bad idea, but for an unrelated reason.

-but in the event only 2 of us asked that straight up tells the wolves who's the strongest and who to kill so I don't really favor this plan either.

Basically, you dismissed the idea because if it happens that very few people requested a role, then the wolves would be able to target one of a small number of blues. At no point do you intimate any awareness that informing the wolves of our numbers would enable them to use their guessing power accurately.

Thus, your idea--even if dismissed for unrelated reasons--ignores the very obvious structural reason that it would be catastrophic. Hence the dumbtell--the wolves would be aware of what they can do, and how they'd benefit from that strategy. Your subsequent post:

Didn't see that second Roundbox post. That's quite the padded post you got there.

I think it's absolutely best if we keep mum on it for now, possibly for most of the game.

Seems to confirm my interpretation. I basically read the above as:

"I didn't see roundbox's post before. Now that I've read it"--and note that roundbox's post alludes to the possibility of the wolf sabotage--"it's best to keep quiet on those discussions."

also re: current discussion I think in a completely open game like this it's better to lynch inactives early game because they are an especially big liability later on

stares threateningly at inactives / lowposters

Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

This is the first serious read in this game, and actually happened in the middle of the shitposting phase. Who's actually the eager one here?

it's an easy enough thing to notice and "put a read to" in order to seem ahead of the curve but it's a nothing-read

Excuse my candidness, if anything is fucking stupid, it is this "shitposting phase" that is so clung to here. What is the point of even having a d0 when all y'all seem to do is complain about not having anything to go on the whole time, and then give me crap for voicing my opinion to get something going?

Please be aware, that was not a "serious" vote for mml. That was a vote to try and, yes, get the ball rolling and get a feel for the players here. I really don't care if you think the reasoning was unsound, as it was not an actual accusation. It was a move based on feeling, that I attempted to back up a little bit with words. Although it is mostly just feeling. And obvious, that this early on I can change my mind easily based on the reactions that occur.

Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

what is the point of this post sunfan?

that, in all fairness, some wolves are jumpy, which was syhto's point.
its not the worst d0 accusation by any means

just so I say something
I know its early and I know its surface level but I like both Lar and Syhto

ok goodbye whee

that post and this post look like you're disarming the argument between the two

syhto is town
a town in a world where people speak a mutually intelligible language as her

Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

I'm fine with Syhto/MML too unsurprisingly.

unsurprisingly?

was this something you decided before or after you intervened?

it wasn't exactly the cold war, was it?
I feel like since syhto was writing poetry the argument had pretty much run its course.

Re: TWGXXXI - TWGreeD - Game Thread

Inactive lynches are better early than later, gotta go big or go home later in the game
But nah, I'm not into lynching that slot quite yet because we don't get nearly as much information as other games considering cardlips are off. If they're a wolf, we'd only discover by a psychic ability and even then it probably wouldn't tell us shit

are you keeping your options open wolfbox?

ok this time I actually object to the form of the question for real

I didn't "intervene" the whole thing was over by the time I had really said anything

not true but I don't care

whatever word you like then, I'm just wondering when this most recent judgement of yours came in
