TWG XXI: X-Men Lockdown (Humans Win)

[talisman]

tass you're getting too hung up on this silly preset notion that only four people would presumable attack you and kilga back to back. It doesn't take a genius to think of doing that or even an especially ballsy person to try it. And in a game that could be billed as an all-star game where everyone is a veteran, I think it's foolish to limit your options like that.

[mead1]

Well shoot. I really am uncertain of who to vote for, but I have to get to work in 15 minutes, so I am going to have to place a safety vote on [/b]LD[b]. Sorry for not contributing guys. I'll try a bit harder tomorrow.

[Tasselfoot]

Talisman: would you have done it? I wouldn't have. I'd have gone for the safe plays.

Mead: you fail as a person. I hope 7 mimes attack you on your way home from work.

[lightdarkness]

Mead's vote on me doesn't count cause it's not bolded

[Tasselfoot]

Would you rather his vote not count and he get a phantom, or for him to vote for you?

[lightdarkness]

I was being sarcastic tass, don't look into it.

[aperson]

I'm gone until the day's over, going back to the dorms and probably won't be around.

So, not much reasoning, but going with Tass's power player notion I think blah is a reasonably likely candidate, or a good safety vote if I'm totally wrong.

[Tasselfoot]

I'm leaving for NYC shortly... then am going straight to my boy's card game.

I was mulling over basically exactly what Jurs said before she posted it, and frankly... I can't justify myself voting for chardish, guido, ap, or blah... but I can definately justify voting for nForcer for the same reasons Jurs stated. This isn't the first game nForcer has been like this, and he was human last time... and that is my doubt on it. But, I don't see Omega being a wolf, so my vote needs to go somewhere.

On the other hand... if y'all still see Omega as the best candidate, then keep your votes on him. Don't just bandwagon onto Jurs' vote because I did.

[QreepyBORIS]

Whoa, Jurs made a constructive post that just might be on the right track!

How come nForcer hasn't posted anything constructive? How come he seems to be flying under the radar, by posting in reasonable size and without much content?

Seriously, as Jurs said, it's not hard to tell at all what is going on right now. It's all in the thread. The alliance probably has something hammered out on their own, too, but you get a fine idea of it just by reading. Read nForcer, man. You were never this bad at TWG, if I recall. Why now?

[evilbutterfly]

I'd like to think nForcer wouldn't point out that he thinks he knows the guardian if he was a wolf. Of course, doing things "a wolf would never do" doesn't mean crap, so whatever. I don't really suspect anybody anymore, so I'm gonna be a douche and vote ap because he's not even freaking playing, he's just posting that he can't do anything and then defending himself and contributing nothing. I may not know who the wolves are, but it's plain to see who isn't helping the humans out.

[JurseyRider734]

You fucking idiots. Since when was TWG ever played like a jTWG? You guys are all coming up with the bullshit excuse "I don't know what's going on...so i'm going to just throw this vote on <random player>!"

This shit doesn't fly, and it's making you all look suspicious as hell. Obviously all of you can't be wolves, so you're just being dumbasses. At least try to make an attempt to contribute to this game if you're going to fucking sign up. Yeah, i'm calling you out blah, nforcer, buttfly, Guido, and whoever the hell else is playing because I sure can't remember right now because no one is posting a goddamn word. If you're too busy to post, then you shouldn't have even signed up.

I've started to get busy, but at least I can take 20 minutes out of a 24 hour day to read a few pages and make a post.

Not a single post on this page has been over 8 lines long so far (Tass, who's been contributing a lot). Seriously guys, shape up.


By the way, props to talisman for actually caring about the game.

[lightdarkness]

I don't know what's going on... so i'm going to just throw this vote on Jurs

In all seriousness, since when have you reacted like that? It seems to me you're trying to make it seem like you're a pissed off human cause no one is doing anything. Well, some of us do have a job, and actually don't have time to go woamg super TWG analisis mode.

So i'm placing a saftey vote on you <3

[talisman]

thanks jurs... anyways, here's what it comes down to for me:

long shot wolves, but still possible: ap, blah, afro
more possible wolves: guido, omega, nforcer, mead, ld, jurs

I'm inclined to go with omega/mead, ld/mead, maybe guido/nforcer, maybe omega/ld, maybe nforcer/ld.

ld has really just been too quiet and I'm tired of that just "meaning he's green". I know that he for one would have gone after torlock night one as he suggested something similar to me when we were wolves together way back in XVI I think... but blah and I wanted either of hans or ap and probably would have the balls to attack kilga and tass. (you're right though, tass, I probably wouldn't have gone after kilga, and I definitely didn't expect the wolves to... I thought for sure you were dead that night. Attacking you the next night was predictable, and I can see myself doing that, even at the risk of semi confirming your humanity).

nforcer has been playing a somewhat bold wolf game if he is a wolf... I remember from out convo (which I'll post in a sec if it helps) that he predicted the wolves would go for kilga etc etc, which would be a ballsy move if you were a wolf and actually going for kilga.

mead has been mead and damn him for being so inscrutable when there's no pressure on. silly two post a day kids.

omega has already been discussed to death, and frankly I find myself suspicious of how little he's been defending himself. Perhaps its just his personality but I know when my ass is looking like it's going to get lynched I'm fighting hard every step of the way if I'm human. (I fought when I was a wolf too, but more as a joke than anything... I was already seered and dead at that point).

guido fits the profile of either the bossy human or the overly eager to help wolf perfectly, and tass' personality analysis makes me think (hope, anyway) that it's the former.

and jurs? well she's sort of been flying under the radar a little, I dunno. I have mixed feelings, she could go either way. I think we should watch her carefully in the future though.

so for now I think I'm going to follow through with my pledge and go omega and let the psychic guide us from there.

[JurseyRider734]

I don't know what's going on... so i'm going to just throw this vote on Jurs

In all seriousness, since when have you reacted like that? It seems to me you're trying to make it seem like you're a pissed off human cause no one is doing anything. Well, some of us do have a job, and actually don't have time to go woamg super TWG analisis mode.

So i'm placing a saftey vote on you <3

I have things to do, but at least i'm trying to help move the game along.

[talisman]

and as promised... the convo I had with nforcer during night two (times are central, and like I said with the tps convo I'm not suspicious really of afro like I was then). you might argue that there's a certain amount of wolf-like paranoia here about being so late to show up in the thread but that could be a stretch. use it how you will:

nforcer06164 (4:40:43 PM): what is up with Hans always dying?
nforcer06164 (4:40:49 PM): =/
stressreliefball (4:48:08 PM): dunno
stressreliefball (4:48:11 PM): sorry about delay
stressreliefball (4:48:15 PM): was doing laundry
nforcer06164 (4:49:07 PM): it's alright.
nforcer06164 (4:49:24 PM): I feel so disconnected from this game right now.
nforcer06164 (4:49:36 PM): It's odd that nobody noticed I was missing...
stressreliefball (4:49:48 PM): hell
stressreliefball (4:49:57 PM): no one even noticed ld was missing til the end of the day
nforcer06164 (4:50:02 PM): o.o
stressreliefball (4:50:21 PM): what are your thoughts/suspicions at this point?
stressreliefball (4:52:52 PM): *zap*
nforcer06164 (4:55:30 PM): oh, uh, sorry.
nforcer06164 (4:55:31 PM): X_X
nforcer06164 (4:55:39 PM): I really have no suspicions.
nforcer06164 (4:55:42 PM): nothing seems odd.
stressreliefball (4:55:49 PM): fair enough
nforcer06164 (4:55:59 PM): I think this game is going to rely mostly on the alliance
nforcer06164 (4:56:17 PM): those of us on the outside are going to be in the dark for the most part.
nforcer06164 (4:56:41 PM): I can tell you one thing though... I've been a blue only once, and never been a wolf, and it's starting to piss me off.
stressreliefball (4:56:57 PM): other way around for me, actually
stressreliefball (4:57:22 PM): I've gotten used to the green game though
stressreliefball (4:58:35 PM): who do you think the wolves will go for tonight?
nforcer06164 (5:00:18 PM): Kilga, if they're not afraid of the guardian.
stressreliefball (5:00:32 PM): hmm I suspect they will be though
nforcer06164 (5:00:53 PM): Not so sure... Torlock could've been the guardian.
nforcer06164 (5:01:11 PM): that's highly unlikely, but, there's no saying the guardian will guard Kilga either.
stressreliefball (5:01:23 PM): well that's up to kilga to decide I'm sure
stressreliefball (5:01:37 PM): if he wants to chance it and have the guardian guard someone else
stressreliefball (5:01:43 PM): or if he wants to play it safe
nforcer06164 (5:01:50 PM): depends on who contacts him, and even if they do.
nforcer06164 (5:01:55 PM): we have a lot of rookies.
stressreliefball (5:02:02 PM): ?
stressreliefball (5:02:06 PM): not really....
stressreliefball (5:02:14 PM): torlock was the only new player of the bunch
nforcer06164 (5:02:22 PM): really?
stressreliefball (5:02:25 PM): yeah
nforcer06164 (5:02:34 PM): I could've sworn there was at least three...
stressreliefball (5:02:36 PM): it's pretty much an all star game at this point
nforcer06164 (5:02:38 PM): O_o
nforcer06164 (5:02:47 PM): Am I playing the same game?
stressreliefball (5:02:51 PM): haha
stressreliefball (5:02:59 PM): the rookie-est player is mead and he hardly counts
nforcer06164 (5:03:17 PM): yeah, mead has been in our ranks for a while.
nforcer06164 (5:03:43 PM): I'm not as good as I should be in reference to my seniority in the game...
nforcer06164 (5:04:29 PM): that may be partly due to the fact that everybody gets to stuff before me lately, though
nforcer06164 (5:04:37 PM): I had excellent input in previous games...
nforcer06164 (5:04:41 PM): but anyway...
nforcer06164 (5:04:48 PM): you have any suspicions?
stressreliefball (5:04:59 PM): nothing but my gut at this point
stressreliefball (5:05:08 PM): I'm looking at afrobean fairly hard
nforcer06164 (5:05:14 PM): hm.
nforcer06164 (5:05:22 PM): did he say something that seemed off?
nforcer06164 (5:05:28 PM): Afrobean is really hard to read.
stressreliefball (5:05:28 PM): something about how/what/when he said things in the chat struck me as off
stressreliefball (5:05:39 PM): he's only made one post, I think
stressreliefball (5:05:54 PM): other than him no one really
nforcer06164 (5:05:57 PM): mm.
stressreliefball (5:06:06 PM): ld is worth watching just because he's been so quiet
nforcer06164 (5:06:28 PM): true.
nforcer06164 (5:06:35 PM): but wouldn't the same hold true for me?
stressreliefball (5:06:46 PM): to a certain extent yes
nforcer06164 (5:06:47 PM): I really expected a vote or two after being so quiet.
nforcer06164 (5:06:54 PM): it usually happened.
stressreliefball (5:07:04 PM): pssh with hans right there I doubt that would happen
stressreliefball (5:07:13 PM): plus you weren't the only player to hop in late or be quiet
stressreliefball (5:07:20 PM): eb showed up after you did
stressreliefball (5:07:26 PM): and blah's input was limited at best
nforcer06164 (5:07:29 PM): oh yeah, I remember that.
nforcer06164 (5:07:33 PM): wtf is up with blah?
nforcer06164 (5:07:38 PM): his post made no sense.
stressreliefball (5:07:44 PM): he's become a quieter player
stressreliefball (5:07:48 PM): no both of his made sense
nforcer06164 (5:07:59 PM): maybe I read it wrong.
nforcer06164 (5:08:11 PM): but I didn't understand one of them.
stressreliefball (5:08:11 PM): in the first one he's just asking the order of events when morph power is transferred
stressreliefball (5:08:21 PM): if the old morph is killed by the wolves at the same time
stressreliefball (5:08:33 PM): or if the new morph is the wolves' target
stressreliefball (5:08:55 PM): which is also useless now that the morph is gone anyway
nforcer06164 (5:09:41 PM): still, it wouldn't have mattered anyway
nforcer06164 (5:09:49 PM): if the guardian was alive
stressreliefball (5:10:31 PM): as far as I know the guardian hopefully still is alive
stressreliefball (5:10:48 PM): it's not like the guardian could guard both the old morph and the target
stressreliefball (5:10:56 PM): he wouldn't even know who the target would be, no one would
nforcer06164 (5:12:01 PM): well, the whole basis of the morph alliance was that the new morph would come out, be guarded, and eventually we'd find a wolf or the MW.
stressreliefball (5:12:23 PM): ok yeah but true but blah was just asking in general
nforcer06164 (5:12:33 PM): right.
stressreliefball (5:12:36 PM): whether powers transferred before the wolf killed or after
stressreliefball (5:14:01 PM): oh and just as a general suggestion, if you have a convo with someone that strikes you as suspicious or something but you don't want to post it or anything
stressreliefball (5:14:07 PM): send it to kilga and thus inside the alliance
nforcer06164 (5:15:08 PM): sounds good.
nforcer06164 (5:15:12 PM): I've gotta go.
nforcer06164 (5:15:13 PM): see ya
stressreliefball (5:15:15 PM): later
nforcer06164 signed off at 5:15:20 PM.
