Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

Manti's Samus quickly dodged to the left as yet another Thunder crashed down onto Final Destination. "Damn" Afro's voice came from the Pikachu on the ground "Will you stop moving so i can electrocute you already?" "Naw" came Manti's reply. "It's fun to dodge these bolts. They're not That annoying. Launching forward Afro's Pikachu tried to charge Manti's Samus only to get knocked off-balance by a quickly executed grapple to the face. Manti's Samus continued the combo by launching a full charge shot at Afro's off-balance Pikachu. Unable to dodge Afro was sent flying into the crowd of spectators, knocking Ac1SpeakerBox and Bolthmann off the stage. Being audience members they didn't have save attacks to get back to the stage and fell to their doom. Afro recovered and used agility to make it back to the stage with everything but his arrogance intact.

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

Are the wolves intentionally killing the wrong people or is it an accident?

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

ok, guys this is bull****
the wolves aren't stupid - far from it.

I can't help but feel we're being played.

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

I want everyone to genuinely consider how involved they feel they've been the past two, three phases.

I understand the feeling, but I don't expect most of the players this game would think to use the tactic you're alluding to.

The tactic that ended up allowing the wolves to win the last game you and I played in. A tactic that no one other than you or I would think to use.

Your declarative statement of the wolves intelligence also feels a bit like ego stroking. With all the lesser players in this game, you don't think it's possible that all of the wolves are unintelligent? Of all the players in the game, you're CERTAIN that it cannot be that the wolves are legitimately bad at this game?

ps quick question: how is the psychic report given in this game? Is it a report of number of wolves at end of night, number of wolves at end of previous day, or a simple cardflip of the player who was lynched during the previous day?

yes

it doesn't take four intelligent wolves for them to win - just one, or two even.

If you're so sure a wolf among the four is "playing us" I have no choice but to believe you are that one wolf among the four. Do you really think any of these guys who are still alive are intelligent enough to play on the level you're suggesting? Do you honestly believe anyone alive other than you or I could possibly think of using the ploy that you're suggesting?

I think you're tipping your hand, bro.

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

In my opinion, this might be exactly what they wanted. Targeting everyone but those who make very open accusations and points in the thread so we can just tear each other apart.

FictionJunction and I are the only ones who have this sort of tactic he's suggesting fresh on our minds, and I don't believe anyone else in the game who is currently alive is capable of thinking of doing this on their own. Furthermore, there's no way the wolves could PREDICT that Mr. Junction would come to conclusion he did, and they also could not predict that I would respond in the way I did.

Wolves don't want active conflict. They're likely to catch a few casualties in the crossfire. Humans can stand to lose a handful of their kind, but if the wolf numbers get too thinned, their chances of winning can become WAY lower. Better for them to take out active, contributing players (especially ones who have OBVIOUS ties to the public seer) during the night and just fade into the woodwork during the day.

But that said, the game that the "make bad wolf kills" worked in favor of the wolves was already mostly inactive and there was no public seer or anything like that. There was little activity from the get-go there and little incentive to keep active. This game is far apart from that game. I don't believe the same tactic would work in the same way here.

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

Responding with hostility, however, was something they could obviously predict, am I wrong on this part?

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

Unlikely, as I am actually appreciative of their kill choice. It narrows down my list of potentials a little when I otherwise feared I'd've been killed.

Why would anyone be hostile at the thought of the wolves making REALLY bad kill choices? I'm glad personally. If they want to let me live another day, cool.

The only thing that bugs me is that edu believes the wolves could be trying to fool us when only he or I would be all that likely to see that as a possibility, and he fails to recognize the differences in the situation between the game where it worked and this game. But at the same time, I don't believe he as a wolf would reveal his plan of feigning bad kills if that was the plan he was using. I'm sure he'd be aware that I would instantly recognize it and instantly call him on it. And I also don't believe he would risk it all, as prior to this no one has mentioned him as a wolf, so it wouldn't make sense for him to say "this is my wolf plan" and draw attention to the plan he was working on exacting. Bit of a rambling train of thought here, but does that make sense?

Re: TWG LXXXVII: Cloverfield

I don't use reverse psychology to get my way - there's no satisfaction.

I don't think we're on the same page, arfo. And if we are I'm sure you wouldn't underestimate the chances of it being the reality of our situation.

I really don't want to speak in code so I'll update once I feel the thread merits it. We've got a while. I do have some expectations and I'm hoping not to be disappointed.
