Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
I guess I should be careful what I wish for
I voted Freezin so that people would talk to me and this is what I get look just tell me, not a fuckin' gutread, give me something more than that because if we're wrong today and we go into mylo tomorrow, that's pretty fuckin' shitty, give me a reason why Freezin is a bad kill today based on what has happened thus far Yoshl too, for you Haku |

this isn't something I just decided to give a shit about I've literally talked for years about how people need to stop inventing pairings/teams in their head because its stupid to try and solve the game based off of that the more you build it up, almost certainly, the more incorrect it gets, which is why just finding a singular scum that you feel good about is, in my opinion, rather proper for most people (this assumes no mechanical information that creates a dichotomy) I have said this for literally years |

Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
Plop
I read the thread a bit while mobile and at work, but I think Plop and FG are hits. With that said though, Plop solves FG for me whereas I don't feel as strongly about FG solves Plop for me. To summarize my thoughts, I think FG's vote on Plop was a very weak attempt at trying to distance from each other, as well as get around the excuse of "well they've never interacted with each other this game." Plop's vote on me is to try to "distance" him and I instead because of the sus currently on me and keeps FG alive - which makes my vote that much worse because it only reinforces that belief, but I don't care, I think Plop is howling a hella lot more.

Did I not want Ulle lynched, you're right in that I didn't, but my only reason was to keep new players around longer, but that's just repeating myself. Quote:
I think FG was trying to say that she and I both were reading that Haku was being wolfy with his vote on me. Reading through this day, I don't think Haku is a wolf based on his talks with Shadow and DBP because I feel that would be very hard to keep up that facade for so long; it'd be easier to just say "g'night, I'll be back later." The only way he's a wolf is if DBP also is and they basically bullshit-solve while Shadow sits there, but I don't think this is the case in this game. Quote:

Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
Logically, you want to vote out Plop here to reinforce the FG/T-Force worlds.
Plop really needs to put more on the table than what he's been doing. It's getting uncomfortably awkward to see him throw stances without explanations. Also, this gives more time to FG/T-Force to say anything that could help confirm one side. I also think wolf DBP wouldn't want me to pick choice #3 while exposing #1 vs #2. So, this is probably the ideal world that doesn't feel forced by a narrative. Unless someone is town reading Plop ? If you are, why ? |

Quote:
lets say, for a moment, that someone develops a w/w pairing, and surprise! the postgame says they were right (this assumes there was no mechanical information to base this w/w pairing on). How many times have you seen this? Now compare that number to how many times you think they were right for the right reason(s). You should have a very low number, right? Probably single-digits? The reason your number is so low is because people almost never put everything together for the right reasons in TWG. Its like trying to see 13 moves ahead in Chess, and not just building hypothesis and analyzing lines about what your opponent might do, its literally knowing/guessing that your opponent is going to behave exactly this way for the next long while; its just not realistic for almost everyone to do. So, I pose the question, why do people keep trying it if they're almost never right for the right reasons? There's probably a lot of different answers that can mesh together here, bias and people feeling like its what they're supposed to do being one. I counter this with the idea that you don't need to try and pin two of the three wolves together based on reasoning, you just need to find them individually scummy. How many times in your life have you seen a town be right on two scumreads? Compare it to how many times you think that this was for the right reason(s). Ok, I'll grant that the number is probably not gigantic, but its almost certainly bigger than the original number, you probably did math wrong if you didn't get a larger figure. The reason that this is higher is because its a lot easier to be right on two individual scumreads, especially given that the first flip actually helps you narrow things down a lot, whereas you're just up shit creek without a paddle in the other world where you've built a world of two. The first world has you chase two rabbits, the second world has you chase one one day and another the next. Odds are you're going to catch more rabbits in the second path. This is why its so frustrating today to see people talk about pairings, and I know I only talked about wolves together (I think there is a very small number of people on the internet who correctly make reads based on "these two people aren't wolves together," star-crossed is one of them for example), but I would generally apply it to w/t reads as well, because it does cast a wider net and people generally don't know what they're doing. Even if people are right, and there's this overwhelming amount of information that needs to be resolved between fg/force or fg/plop (there isn't), then I would posit that they almost definitely have not gotten to a correct conclusion by the correct means, and the next time they try it as town, they are almost certainly not going to have a repeat result I could talk about the math here, but its kind of boring to me, but you probably can tell that, even if humans are at least slightly better at developing reads than they would be if they randomly made them, that trying to chase two rabbits will generally not turn out well it also gives wolves more leeway for their pushes, but that's a hard topic to talk about in general tl;dr almost everyone would be better served just finding two or three scummy people and trying to decide between them, rather than spend time and effort on developing a world/team that will almost never be right for the right reasons |

Sunfan's post is probably right in terms of the numbers and such, but all I can think about is "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
So maybe the pairing sucks, but dammit, Plop is still the wolfiest player in this game, imo, and FG is not far behind. |

you're talking about logic here when its a read Plop has nothing to do with any worlds related to FG/T-Force in my mind. I don't care about this at all, and you shouldn't either. Just fucking pick someone and vote them because you think they're scummy, not because you'll get some reinforcement on a world that isn't remotely related to the reason why you'd vote the person in the first place its seriously no wonder town lost last game trying to infolynch me d0 there was no information gathered other than that I was town whatever plop flips if we kill him, you go back, you look at his interactions, and *then* you decide what information you want to give a shit about. Until then, pick someone for being scummy. |
Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
Quote:
While individual actions are reliable pieces of evidence, there is always going to be that context which is additional information to hone the read. I definitely think that basing reads based on dyads this early on is fundamentally risky, but I still think that you can't fully understand human behavior and agenda without at least utilizing connections between players. An example would be with FG: her voting for Ulli is confusing and scummy at first, until you realize that she wanted to keep FFA alive because of the nature of their relationship. ---Anyway, this is more academic and nitpicky than is useful. I think the policy you've described in your wallpost is the best way to at least start out with reasoning. |
Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
Regarding T-Force/FG:
If (big if) we feel reasonably sure that this is W/T then we absolutely should vote in here today, IMO. Because here's what will happen if we don't: we'll mislynch today, and during tomorrow (potential MYLO) the wolves will weaponize the T-Force/FG tension, and they will force (ha) the issue, but specifically in a way that lynches the wrong person. We see this all the time: a scummy town player is strategically kept alive until MYLO, and then the wolves push the narrative "well, we kinda HAVE to resolve this player now" and get the win off the mislynch. Resolving these conflicts early on prevents wolves from weaponizing them in the critical moment. I think the vigi agrees with me, which is why they prolly shot Ulli in the night. Maybe they'll be able to resolve T-Force/FG by shooting them tonight, idk how the numbers work for parity if they do that though. I'd rather at least flip one of them as a lynch though, because that helps the vigi tremendously in the night. |

Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
If my perspective today seems pretty myopic that's why. We can't guarantee a wolf hit today. And if we miss, then we better damn make sure that we don't set ourselves up for failure tomorrow.
I'm self-aware that I'm kind of tunneling right now but it's for more of a mechanical reason based in minimizing long-term risk. |

Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]
Out of context of the game, I think roundbox may have nerfed them after town roflstomped thanks to a vigi kill AND a Trucy kill on a wolf on consecutive nights and then lynching the last wolf. I may be wrong, or the events out of order, but one game was absolute chaos.

Hey T-Force, since you're here, I want you to know that you're currently still my top lynch target today. If you're town I really want to see you put in investigative work so that you can clear yourself.
I always have a really hard time reading you, I think because your general disposition always reads wolfy to me. So it's probably gonna come down to the quality of your reads and prodding |

Couple questions as I continue rereading:
1) When freezin plays town, is he the type of player who tries to act townie for the benefit of other townies, or is he the type of player who expects his towniness to speak for itself? 2) When yoshl plays scum, does he have any sort of modus operandi on which types of players he pushes to get mislynched or which sorts of wagons he joins/creates? |

2) It's been a while since I've seen YoshL play, and his general attitude and demeanor have changed since the old days, but he is a very versatile character as a wolf imo. I can't really conjure up any notion of a script that he follows. It's probably best to read him based on his agenda as opposed to tone or strategy |

Mechanics? I'm not the greatest at, but I feel as if the mechanics of this game are pretty simple so I'm ignoring that It was interesting that Sunfan mentioned Maya Fey fwiw, makes me believe we're on the same page even though that's a "No shit Sherlock" This post isn't very useful, so carry on ladies and gents |
