If you're a woof, you just openly claim so we can kill give you a prize

Ooops.

Don't worry, if he's a wolf, we'd be able to tell from some stupid slip-up.

Nah, tps, your post is perfectly good!!!

Guess I should ask now; have you played TWG previously? And if so, how much experience do you have with it? You mentioned not having played forum TWG in a while, but I'm not sure if that implies you play non-forum TWG often or TWG in general rarely.

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I have played before, but I haven't played in a few months.

I know day 1's are generally silly, loose and generate a "say anything for a reaction" but I've never subscribed to the idea of treating it casually. We gotta get off to a good start in a game where we can only mislynch 3 or 4 times. I'm a bit surprised that Red Blaster was more focused on agreeing with mellonxcollie and calling my post "goofy" instead of giving his opinion on the proposed strategy. The day is still really young so I'll give people time to process and formulate an opinion, but I'd like to hear some thoughts on how we collectively should approach handling these roles.

Literally nobody goes that hard out of the gate on D0..not even V.
It seems like the strategy of someone who rolled wolf and is like "oh shit, gotta play WIM so I look super human."

To be honest, I'm more suspicious of r's vote.

I want reasoning rng-sama.

Well the seer's gonna die if they out themselves, so they shouldn't reveal unless they have a red read, the doctor won't reveal cause they're a doctor and the wolves should reveal so we can win.

Red Blaster is either a wolf or a lobster.

I ask for reasoning and you vote/call me woof?

Re: jTWG LXIX: MECHANICAL POWER OF LOVEEEEE Game Thread

So I read it and TPS's post seems like a bunch of white noise to me. Although this is a JTWG, most of the first bit just seemed seemed like generic mechanic talk. This is an easy way to look active and seem like you are pro-town. Then he introduces a plan that focuses heavily on the seer, before saying

With only 7 non-wolves the chances of the doctor being lynched/wolfed is too high to rely on them as anything integral to the plan

is that not true of the seer as well? The seer has a chance of being protected by the doctor, but that is just a shot in the dark unless they are outed. other than that, they could be wolfed in the night or even lynched if the wolves decide to pull a counter-claim. Also, I am not a fan of "plans" that tell blue roles what to do. I think that it is best to play on a case-by-case basis, and to trust in the blue's good judgement to make the best decision they can

The fact that this post was the first post on day 0 and completely unprompted is also strange to me. on the other hand, it got discussion going right away and was a bold play, which seems human

The seer cannot be protected by the doctor, no. I don't see how you could disagree with wanting the seer to come out and claim if they seer a red. I also don't see how advocating the doctor to not come out (since they can't guard the seer) is a bad idea either. I'm not familiar with most of the players here so I may be coming off as verbose in running through my thought process for the sake of clarification.

Your middle of the road declaration of my seeming humanity is interesting and appreciated. I generally agree with what you say about allowing the blues to act on their own, but in this particular game I am more interested in seeing how everyone picks apart game mechanics and how our actions will affect the remaining lynches/day left.

On that note, red blaster and RNGRX have a strange back and forth going on, it's getting to be a little on the nose if they're attempting to dissociate through substance-less posts/votes at the beginning of the day. I don't know the meta behind them and any of these previous games though, so I may just be making a mountain out of a molehill on day 1 (oh shit now im middle of the roading too >.<)

tl;dr I'd like to hear what ya'll think of the mechanics in play

Do you even know how doctor works? I don't think you do..

Re: jTWG LXIX: MECHANICAL POWER OF LOVEEEEE Game Thread

I misread the roles as there being a normal seer as well as a mecha-seer.
My bad.
