Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

On that subject, I still think about the fact that when the idea was raised that the wolf team was all lost wolves and it was said "How could there be all lost wolves, how would that even work" Haku was extremely quick to drop a link to a game from like, 2016 that had all lost wolves, and the thing that struck me the most about the game he had so readily to hand, was that it contained a wolf fruit vendor, which up until then everybody in the thread had been saying that fruit vendor was a town role, and I sort of wonder if he had that thread in his mind because he was reading it for play tips.

holy shit, what

how did I miss that

do you happen to have the link handy?

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I like your take, Svaz, but I really feel like namekilling being on would have decimated gold stinger before you, Svaz. He full on claimed shield hero and that he had a protective role. Pretty sure storn just stabs him there to avoid night protection fuckery

Alright, but here is where I tinfoil even harder. What if, like how I had to select Dafty.Pixel to distribute deets on at the beginning, a namekiller had to select their target at the beginning too, and could only namekill a specific target? I know, this is pretty wacky, but that's... how I rationalized that post, lmao

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

Haku did express concern earlier this dayphase about the remaining wolf exploiting suspicion on Shadowgod here, for what that's worth:



On that note, do you feel one way or the other about this character being an antagonist in most of the content they appear in?

EF is the detective
And she's badass

Also, once again, given the fact Miku and a character from Gumball were wolves, I don't think their status in the show is indicative of anything

I didn't word that the way I wanted to, but I think you can get what I mean

FFA's big reads post (THE WALL) had a read on Haku that was literally "I trust Haku completely"

What do people think about Haku leaving thread without a vote? I'm having a hard time deciding where to gauge it

If you're town, I can see a wolf convince everyone else that you're a wolf and then gg rip.

Your character's initials are EF

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I'm nervous to respond because I feel like you are reading me town based on this assumption of who I am, and saying you've got it wrong could be bad for me, but you've got it wrong. My character's initials are RK

Dangit
Backpack wasn't predictable

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity lmao

Haku stated multiple times that they did not know my night action history even though I posted it a zillion times
Seems like a pretty big detail for haku to gloss over, but at the same time, I split hairs cracking Soundwave for saying green and town, so I'm questioning this feeling since they seem slightly equal

I think leaving without a vote is definitely the weirder, more head-turny part

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I really feel it's within dev/haku/Xel

I need to get some big brain action going on

I personally don't think it's Xel at this time; I generally trust the early character claim and power layout, which is why I sent him the PM and a message today.

Between the other two, well, I've had something bothering me about Hakulyte, which I addressed last dayphase, albeit briefly.

I want to clarify my rationale for not character claiming in thread and just to XelNya in today's message:

1. I'm just assuming it could be the case.
2. Namekilling would be like a night action that you sent to Xiz. It would be like: "Svaz is Violet Evergarden" then Xiz check if it's true and if that's the case; she dies and wolves -still- have their night kill.

This post sketched me out earlier as the bolded struck me as a namekill attempt, which I've been terrified of since the beginning!

Violet Evergarden centers around a former soldier reintegrating into civilian life through ghost writing letters for those that need help or are illiterate in order to better understand human emotion; it fits with the message sending mechanic.

(I should say now, the terminology of my role doesn't specifically refer to "messages" although it functionally works that way, but it seemed safer with the above suspicion to let that thought continue)

It seemed safer to keep it somewhat concealed as I've revealed all else involved. I don't necessarily think Haku isn't town for it though; Haku has suspected me numerous times throughout the game, after all.

Killing abilities aren't explicitly anti-town though; Wayward used his to kill Dafty in the night and helped town out immensely as they would have otherwise been green-checked through that point.

Well I'm easy. If somebody other than me dies tonight, I'm a wolf. I outed a role that actually just -gets told who the wolf is outright- so the only way I live is if I get guarded, or the wolf wants to do some huge brain move thinking they can out-predict who I'm going to target and get a kill in while framing me.

If anybody's got like, a single use guard or anything kicking around, please consider using it on me. I'll do my best to figure out who they'd target besides me and target accordingly.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

It seems like a cool mechanic for ShadowGod where he could bait the wolf roleblock to punish them. I can see it happening as a mechanic.

Hmm, I actually really like this take. I hadn't considered that -- just was thinking that the likeliest pairing was w/3p over anything else. I think that explains the contextless [REDACTED] at the end of Cocoa's post better than any other place it could possibly fit, yeah.

I believe you when you say your actual role is chopped liver, I kinda feel like that about mine too, sending messages kinda generates more problems than it solves outside of confirming itself through its usage, and the distribution of the role PM also just ended up working against me until I fully understood it.
