    Re: jTWG LXXXIV: 8 New Players and Raeko Game Thread

    I guess I should vote dragon again because of Shadow’s read.

    Well, ‘cuz at the beginning, that’s about the only concrete thing you can go after. Because wolves have a tendency to not post as much to avoid getting caught, right?
    Here to play TWG

      That can be true depending on the player. The thing about lynching inactives though is that you don't get as much information for later in the game, and it's also just a pretty big gamble since you don't have much evidence.

      It's also usually pretty easy to get momentum going for lynching inactives, so wolves like to use them for mislynches.

      Generally I don't really like lynching inactive players at the beginning unless there is some other reason that stacks on. As it gets further on in the game you might have to start going after them, it just doesn't give enough information this early

And while his first few posts were memeing it up about being a wolf, his 4th post in thread is casting a wide communication net followed by a back & forth with shadowgod, and then the 20ish posts. I can definitely see the back & forth posting as an agenda to build post count as a wolf as a solid d0 exercise to not get lynched for inactivity.

        With shadowgod dead, the second wolf is basically on damage control with any shade that might get thrown their way with shadowgod aligning themselves with their partner. Fmpov there's a little bit of tell in EoD if it's the case with Sanzath, and the current reads from Sanzath after eod don't sit particularly well with me hence gutvote.
        I guess that's one interpretation of the events

        There's two things I'm curious about
        - what is the "tell in EoD" that you see coming from me being the wolf partner on damage control right now?
        - is there any reason my reads don't sit particularly well? Or is it all just gut?

            big post but

            I feel like the interaction between shadowgod and antori feels kinda manufactured? Like, if they're together in wolfchat, they could have come up with that entire sequence beforehand in an attempt to say "hey let's interact together to draw away suspicion". Idk, it feels fake to me.

            Anyone else see it?

            Antori- Probably not a wolf but if he's lurking in the shadows as one, he completely forgot to make his own presence known to all of us which I think is suspect

            If I have to vote, then I'm probably going to say Antori because of potential bad play.

            goldstinger because this isn't his usual town meta i saw him play before, he's alot more"cautious" than i'm used to him.

            yoshi because of low effort he'd done.

                The bolded part I highly disagree with, I don't think wolves tend to manufacture conversations to that degree in wolfchat.

                I could see Shadow trying to help him with talking points etc and then a fake push that's immediately backed away from for some distancing

                  Re: jTWG LXXXIV: 8 New Players and Raeko Game Thread

                  My problem with wolf votes on dragonmega this phase is because literally the entire game dragonmega has been playing a game where they do not know what certain things or opinions on plays are, and are doing wolfy things/making bad plays without even realizing it. Even if the argument is "But Shadowgod is also a brand new player and also made bad plays and doesn't know certain things", it doesn't change that dragonmega didn't know what a read was after the flip when Shadowgod did. I feel like if there was some level of confusion on how to read things in the thread, Shadowgod would have at least assisted that much getting their wolf partner on board.

                    Either that or dragonmega is playing dumbtell: the game instead of TWG.

                      that's a good point, the fake push followed by backing off is more what I was getting at then the specific details of how it happened in wolfchat

                      I mean my read on dragonmega is almost entirely based on shadowgod's reads list + EoD votes + process of elimination but yeah I see what you're saying

                      honestly what I'm afraid of right now is that I made what seems like a legitimate case against dragonmega, and then yoshi and antori both voted for him very sheepishly. I could see either one of them putting their vote there for an easy lynch. paranoia's kicking in Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

                        specifically this type of approach of trying to solve the game tbh. It has a lot more wolf-hunting than town-finding considering a wolf just died, and a lot of it is towards the hefty amount of inactives.

                          your wolf read on yoshi is weak. If you want to consider the scenario of manufactured evidence in Antori's favor, then you have to consider the same scenario possibly being manufactured against Yoshi, and Yoshi didn't even post. I've explained my point on dragonmega, and raeko, while I see it, it's waaaaaay the fuck out there, because the only time I really saw raeko in this thread was during EoD. I think there's a lot more evidence that says the wolf is elsewhere.
