TWG XXIV: Calvin and Hobbes (Day 4!)

[Tasselfoot]

My reasoning for anti-Afro sentiment... he takes personal feelings from outside of the game into the game. A top player doesn't do that; he would keep his emotions out of the game and use only logic.

PS Jurs -

Jurs starts right off the bat with a "oh gj guardian" comment that is pretty random and says nothing.

Pot calling the kettle black, much? And don't tell me you weren't thinking the exact same thing.

[talisman]

not sure why nick... if you read the convo with blah it's pretty clear I had some suspicions of him. Soo... thanks for clearing that up, wolves

time to re-read day one.

ps no comment rofl.

[nickadeemus]

WTF!

[Kilgamayan]

This is from late Day 1 or early Day 2 or something I forget.

stressreliefball: kkkilga, have you been following twg enough to have any suspicions?
stressreliefball: I'm looking for just three names... no reasoning required
bjstrattonIM: Not today
bjstrattonIM: I would look at it but my arm has been really sore all day
bjstrattonIM: And it's been very distracting
stressreliefball: good excuse lol
stressreliefball: but do get back to me on this at some point
bjstrattonIM: Sure.

*time passes*

bjstrattonIM: All right so
bjstrattonIM: I'm still suspicious of Hans, he hasn't done much to change what I think of him.
stressreliefball: mmk
bjstrattonIM: I'm kinda suspicious of matt but I give him some leniency for being a jTWGer.
bjstrattonIM: Not knowing exactly when the psychic report was released, I'm going to assume the one wolf that got taken off was FishFish.
stressreliefball: yeah, same
bjstrattonIM: I never thought nforcer was a wolf and I saw his death as unfair.
bjstrattonIM: I'm pretty suspicious of blah for starting the movement against him.
stressreliefball: hmm, true
stressreliefball: I'm glad I picked nforcer though, because of fish's drive against jurs
bjstrattonIM: It reminds me of Jurs' game, where I, as a wolf, started a movement against a weaker player
bjstrattonIM: And got a few followers and eventually he got lynched.
stressreliefball: hmm
bjstrattonIM: I see blah doing exactly what I did then, picking on a relatively easy and much weaker target.
stressreliefball: yeah, and he did vote alot earlier than he normally does
bjstrattonIM: eb is also up there, I'm wondering if he was following Fish's lead and going after another easy target in Jurs.
bjstrattonIM: He overemphasized the "omg I have no clue who to vote for" bit in his voting post imo
stressreliefball: hmm maybe
bjstrattonIM: So I guess my list would be Hans/blah/(eb/matt).
stressreliefball: ok, thanks
bjstrattonIM: The last two get a tie, I can't pick one over the other.
bjstrattonIM: np

Two wolves are gone, meaning the last one would be making the decision all by themselves. If matt was making the decision by himself, I wouldn't be at all surprised that nickadeemus was his choice. It seems too easy a setup, but since we have basically all the time in the world and matt wouldn't be as much of a loss as Tass or talisman I'm not too worried about voting for him.

Look at me, I'm doing something.

Um, imo, telling the guardian they did a good job (which they did) is completely different from asking in a thread "why nick?" to a bunch of people who either don't know why, or do know but won't tell because they're wolves.

Agreed, especially as Night 1 saves don't happen often. Giving the guardian praise for making a good decision is very different from wolfily analyzing the kill on the first page.

[mattc16]

Interesting kilga. However, if i was a wolf, I'd want to keep people like nick and rai for example around, as they are fairly new to TWG, like me, so I would be hoping they made somekind of slip up which took suspicion off me.

apologies to everyone for my inactivity on day 2, a good friend of mine was killed in a car crash last week, and i attended his funeral on friday, so TWG wasn't exactly at the top of my priorities list over this weekend.

[Afrobean]

oh hay i haven't voted for tass yet today. Just looking back at his vote for jurs on day 1:

Jurs. I have no evidence of my own to add. I haven't talked to Jurs at all this game... purely based off of the interactions posted by Fish and eb. Definately seems out of character for her. Well, not out of character... just, her character outside of TWG vs her character inside of TWG.

Not something Tass should be doing. Blind bandwagons are not cool~ and Tass is not usually one to go with the flow if there's poor reasoning behind it.

[Tasselfoot]

Aww... and to think, it just wouldn't be a day of TWG without Afro coming up with a reason to vote me.

bjstrattonIM: eb is also up there, I'm wondering if he was following Fish's lead and going after another easy target in Jurs.

omg I have no clue who to vote for. Seriously though, there's 1 wolf left? I can't ever see the wolves when there's 3, so at this point I'm just gonna sit around until the alliance is like "lol we seered the last guy, kill him!" Until then, I'm gonna like, get to level 51, cuz seriously I dunno. And like, none of you have IMed me. It seems like you're all talking or something and so you have suspicions, but the only person I've talked to is Afro, and that's mostly about MS, and talisman, and he's just asking people for suspicions and I'm like I don't freaking know. Kinda like Guido said in one thread (that guy asking how to be good I think), he's seen as one of the top tier guys but he has no intuition at all, so he's really not even that good. I'm not considered top tier like he is, but you guys know I'm not stupid. You apparently don't realize I have crappy intuition, though. All I can do is work through logic and present strategies, but I think talisman has the logic stuff handled, so I'm gonna continue to do nothing, kthx.

PS: Reading this post as I wrote it, I've realized that I've stopped taking anything seriously. I used kthx and everything, rofl. I should definitely sit some games out until I get back in srs bizniz TWG mode.

[talisman]

Here's what I want to hear people talk about... on day one, did the third wolf vote with blah (on nforcer), with fish (on jurs), or on someone else (in your opinions)? I've already talked to some people about this, but I want to start a little public discussion on it.

Sorry I wasn't around today on aim... bengals game (who dey) and myst v have been distracting me. I'll be around most likely all tonight. Drop a line on my away message and hopefully I'll see it.

[Tps222]

If I had to guess, I would say with Blah, manily because the evidence of Jurs was incredibly weak. I doubt the wolves would try to disassociate on such a stretch, also, doing it on day 1 seems better to get it out of the way early, before people and alliances get going and associating.

[Tasselfoot]

i'm with TPS... also with 6 people on nforcer, it could be easy to slip in.

BUT, I know when I'm a wolf I like to have the wolves vote for 3 different people for as long as possible... which would lead to having it be option c) none of the above... aka, voting for neither nforcer or jurs.

[talisman]

Alright, I'm thinking that hans is the last wolf.

This is based largely on his day one vote. Of the ones on nforcer it seemed most like it was just trying to fit in and seemed the most contrived. (rai's might be an exception, but I felt that rai's late switch would be a retarded move for a wolf to make). It's also based on the fact that in our aim convos he's done some things to make me suspect him... for example coming to me and telling me about why the wolves might have done the pm business and telling me exactly what blah had already told me (and what was already posted). It felt a little like he was trying to get on my good side or something.

Also he sent me an IM yesterday around 8:40 asking me if I had received a psychic report... and the only conceivable reason for that I can think of is that he wants to know the chances that I got to use a seering last night and thus how large the alliance is. I mean, he knows I said it was two wolves yesterday and that we lynched blah, a seered wolf.... so why else would a psychic report be useful?
