I'm not going to vote him but that is really not a good reaction and I don't really see this as a normal Haku response given that Charu/Grad/Yoshl were all going to vote for him at the start of this phase

@Sunfan; I'd like to ask you why you do these kind of things. Why do you think something is wolfy, but you don't follow up?
If you're paying attention, others kept pushing and there was room to do something here. I don't understand why you feel the need to be so careful.

@Charu; #243 This could be a decent attempt at breaking my world, but without explaining why you said "hmmmm", it makes wonder if you really care. Mostly NAI sadly.

when the next game is going I'd be over it by then
but I would be PISSED that Haku got lynched that early regardless of his alignment

@Sunfan; Why not push me here to see if I actually implode? You did it in Turbo X, why not here? What is different?

do you know what the blindreper treatment is?

@Sunfan; Why you never explained?

And even then, it's got to be good and about the actual setup. Not about you and you alone, that's not a good preface, that's a preface that could be seen as scummy (which people have said a lot now).

Coupled with the pressure and your reactionary posts do not make your image look good for this game, fam.

===Warning Self-Pity===

@Charu; You didn't ask for this, but I'm going to try to explain my headspace for the early game part that made most of you go ???

There was many ways to deal with my entrance. Sunfan did the most friendly one by explaining to me why it made little sense as in "you can't force others into a box" etc. explanation. YoshL made me get legit angry and that's one way to deal with me, but if there's something worse than bad posts by Haku, it's bad posts by a frustrated Haku. It makes me take below Haku tier decisions such as hard claiming straight up at the beginning of the game and you're also stuck with a bunch of one liners that are simply not fun to read. I don't believe that's TWG. I believe it's anger blinding the rationale and I'm not surprised that Gradiant replaced out. (..and yes, the self-pity/game approach I had here did not deliver at all. What I'm trying to achieve with my posts and what others seems to expect from me keeps being different. Players think I'm trying to be perceived a certain way while I'm playing on lvl1 and I usually use lvl1 for baiting/prodding/answering quick questions. If you want solid answers to more vague development questions, be ready for me taking more time than the average player, but if I drop lvl1 for lvl2 it also means my activity will drop substantially. I usually prefer to try to answer everything on the go, but I realize now that it's making me drop posting quality dramatically. So, I apologize for that. I should try to control myself better. I just had hopefully wrongful assumptions that I'm getting free hate instead of game related hate and I didn't take it well.)

I usually move up a level the moment I have time to breathe and think at what I'm trying to express. I got this habit of writing my thoughts at the entrance of this game, but also at the entrance of D1 for this very reason. I'm also completely digging the idea of changing how I play to something extremely basic like bolding text and writing "...", but part of me wanted to try to have fun with "chaos" and it's just not something that people seems to want. So, that's about it for why I've been posting the way I did. I don't know if you guys tried to read my game as if you were me, but the amount of posts that has little to do with game progression, but more about frustration has been unnecessary high. Regardless, I still believe that this game has room for being fun and I want to believe that most of this "not fun" phase is over.

Did that help solve the game? Probably not, but at least I feel better.

===End of Self-Pity===

Leave 3/4 options left.

That's a really weird assumption. OP doesn't have information about declaring that the game will contain IC. It's only saying that it's a possible choice.

From the link in OP:

At any time during the game, you may PM the moderator and he or she will announce you as an Innocent Child in their next post, confirming you as town.

#502 Curious progression for Litodude imo.

I think he's just trying to pretend that this is an acceptable stance. The truth is that you need both. It makes me believe that the whole setup info part was fabricated with Charu to give a sense that the game progressed. As for how they read players, there's zero information here. I think talking about the setup is a good indirect way to see the stance of the other players for PR hunting. Even if you "solve" what the choices are here, you won't really know what you're playing with 100% until it flips or that some night actions + claims happen.

For instance, I'm not getting anything off of you, but I got a gut that says you're probably town since you're the first to come up with this.

...

Or it could mean you're a wolf since you know those are the weakest roles and you're only pretending right now to not know what roles are, but I don't think that's happening right now.

@Charu; This insistance of "I think you're town, but not really" sounds really bad for me.

you have kind of the bad kind of self-centered play (thinking no one else is reading your posts last game when everyone was, thinking Gradiant focuses on you)

relax, we're all here to have a good time and/or shit on Hakulyte apparently

This is not happening every game. If it's happening this game, it's for a reason. It's because you and other players are making most of the game about that instead of solving the game itself.
This is a filler to oblivion. Your headspace should be into solving the game, not saying how others are not playing within your expectations.

#525 @Sunfan; You didn't feel like explaining why you posted that even if Tokzic voted you for it?

also haku is zoom last month was way too nervous to pull this shit off i'm pretty sure he would die of stress

I don't get what you mean by "Haku is zoom".
I'm surprised I straight up jumped to "really has to be town" from that post alone.

outside of quotes, raeko/lightknight were my amongst my highest suspects again, because no phantom = being UTR is a valid wolf strat. also call it angle shooting or w/e but i saw lightknight last night reading the thread without posting and that's always been valid in my assessment of suspicious as fuck

PR hunting in action-

Withholding information should be unnecessary in a game.
If it's information that cannot be said, it should simply not be said in the first place.

Would say human, but his stink earlier still smells and I don't think any amount of making amends would change that little aspect.

Also, Hakuuuuuuuuu, you said you would make a case against YoshL. That mega post is not a case, that's just you responding with a level head (kudos by the way, lol). I'm not getting anything new from you or YoshL with your mega post. Just that it's still pretty clear that YoshL hates you more or less and finds you scummy for your first post and reactions.

But this is more or less a good start right here. It's a bit wordy, but it's pretty much what lito said after. Could be a wolf feigning anger to intentionally unbalance you to make not so good posts. Though I believe all I saw was actual anger and not a wolf trying to manipulate. If it was a wolf, then kudos for looking real YoshL, lol.

I don't know if you see the thinking pattern here but it's like "I think you're human, but not really. ...and it's because of what you did before".

Well, if that's the case, why you bring this up specifically instead of something that could give us a clue about where you stand? Is the intention here to tell us how confused you are? like wtf Charu. Why am I here with your headspace?

He seems to encourage me regardless to continue on YoshL, but at this point it makes me feel like it's a dead end. The game should not be about me trying to solve everything. It should be about players trying to see things from the same perspective. This is disturbing. I cannot even begin to describe why you would think like that.

#540 @Litodude - YoshL being here is not wolfy. It's a good thing.

I currently see Haku as a mixbag of town and scum. (Null essentially) Gut strongly suggest town due to recent actions.

That is such a small progression that I can hardly believe you even care about your own progression on me.

Taking a break, I'm only at page 29, but the point is that I'm failing to see any relevant game progression attempts by Sunfan/Charu/Litodude and it's really strange.

I'm tempted to let roundbox analyze D0 EoD.

My EoD conclusions are around the lines of;

choof was confused and unvoted because of the PR claim. (more town than not imo)

mellonxcollie seems to express a similar opinion as mine over Sunfan based on how she voted. If your view is different, feel free to explain how.

Sunfan didn't move at all from FreezinIce. (not sure why, the backup post was convincing enough for me. I can see him legit preparing text in advance feeling that he will get lynched. I don't see why he would leave a premade read list right before "flipping" as a wolf. I think this comes from a town based on his progression. I can also see why he's coming out with that very specific list.

I think Sunfan thought he was going to get away with staying alive in this EoD because of who was on his wagon and that Litodude was unlikely to stay on him if they're together. He still posted a read list, but I really disagree with the second half.

As for the 7 players on the Tokzic wagon, it's hard to grasp what happened for everyone in details, but I can't ignore the fact that Litodude started it.

I'll try to squeeze Page 30 up to the end of D0 somewhere else in one post if anyone is interested.

Going to sleep for now v2.
