Re: TWG CXLIII: SK Loses Again Game Thread

you could convince me that you are town

just saw this

I remember you pulling something like this when you were a wolf. why is the burden on me? I've given my counterarguments, you also haven't seem to read my posts after the big reads post as carefully, you're only tunneling in on the first half of my play

Re: TWG CXLIII: SK Loses Again Game Thread

Me personally I think Zenith is a better choice simply because I think he's more likely to be scum than YMIA. In terms of info, I dunno...I kinda feel like with everybody going in on YMIA save those who said he might just be rusty (dap, AA, and now charu) that the info gained isn't really all that great. If he flips scum then everybody looks good, and if he flips town then it's kinda WIFOM between who was mistaken and who was gunning for a mislynch. Like, it's entirely possible that Zenith can be gung-ho on YMIA but both are town...we've all gone in on people as town that turned out to be town as well.

Well, given that I'm not gonna jump on the ymia lynch, I think a it's worthy to look back to his interactions earlier in the game.
I doubt I'll drop a ymia vote at this point simply because I've already tunnled him and his responses were weak at best, but I think harping on that is just redundant.
That said, where is Zenith? I'm kinda sad the big post wasn't here, I'll still read it Zenith (:

I also think ymia makes a good point saying charu should try and can try because he has , and we all know this, been viewing the thread the whole time pretty much. More than lots of people actually. So there's some points to his humanity. I think it's also safe to say if Zenith flipped wolf ymia would be more cleared than the other way around.

big post

I'm not liking how rzr seems to be dipping his hands in my lynch. it feels like he's setting himself up to be able to quickly flip on someone when it most suits him

I really want to play Fallout 4 right now

I was thinking about rzr on my commute back home, mostly sprung by a post which seemed odd to me. The post in question is here. Everything's looking fine until I see the quote from me about returning for EoD having zero comment. I thought it was weird to include that, but upon further pondering, I realized that this post and plenty of rzr's other longer posts (save a few, like the ones where he re-entered the thread after absence) seem to be just a result of hitting that sweet multiquote button on posts from top to bottom. This is really making rzr's recent presence feel like a lot of white noise, unfortunately.

Take a look at this post here. The questions seem all over the place. It doesn't really feel like he's building a case or anything against one specific player (he goes a little bit into AA here, but nothing I'd consider substantial). It seems to be just asking questions for the sake of asking questions. Something just seems unfulfilling about this style. He's asking plenty of questions at the end they feel weak or leading (many are especially leading). He's just stacking and stacking information and questions, but to what end? Are you building a Tower of Babel here out of information? I'm just having a hard time seeing things from your perspective.

As for alignment, I feel like this is dropping you into null territory for me. There are some good things that come out of your questioning, but the ratio of quality:quantity is all over the place, leading me to render some of your content as white noise/talking for the sake of talking.

As for my lynch candidates today, I feel comfortable taking heat off of Xel for now and taking a look at some other folk.

Actually, AA, I responded to the fact that choof had pointed out some decent thoughts about his case on you. If I was coming after you I would be much more direct. Also, I didn't think you were much of a candidate today so that is what it is ay

Re: TWG CXLIII: SK Loses Again Game Thread

Zenith, on top of offering some specific scummy lines like the "you can peek me but it's a waste of time" comment, isn't taking as much of a leadership role this time around. When he's town he tends to try to take command and make plays that are in what he thinks is town's best interests. If somebody sees something differently or things aren't going the way he wants them to he stands up and tries to change that...however, even though he's parked his vote on YMIA and is 95% certain or whatever the figure was that he's a wolf I don't see him trying to convince people with dissenting opinions otherwise. Other than his megapost that he said he'll prepare when he's done work, he's just kinda announcing his certainty on YMIA to the thread and leaving it at that.

I did notice that zenith hasn't posted much in the last 36 hours. Yes, he has work but it is different from his normal play

Okay, so I guess we're all back to square one then. My vote for Xel stands, I'll post what I have to say about ymia and AA in a few, I'm trying to AAA this tourney song atm

why are we back to square one? do you let people's opinions influence your own that strongly? It seems like you're a leaf swaying in the wind except you get to pick where you fall so you look best

What did you want? A power role claimed d0? Even if i were to be im not going to claim that d0 and get myself lined up to be killed in the night and waste whatever my power was.

I am a vanilla townie, look at what i have, 9r for that matter, have not done. i have nothing to work with, and all of my reads have been purely guesses and conjecture.

The time in the top left of each post is an hour off from actual server time. Idk why this happened, but it wasn't there when I determined the length of the phase. There are slightly under two hours left in this phase, as clarification.

What I don't like is that whenever someone says something new you say something along the lines of "yeah, I could see that happening, let's look into that later". It's like you're kind of agreeing with everyone to appease them but at the same time hedging your language so you can double back later if needed.

What did you want? A power role claimed d0? Even if i were to be im not going to claim that d0 and get myself lined up to be killed in the night and waste whatever my power was.

hmmm

I'm now second guessing myself a little but my next candidate would probably be yoshl which doesn't seem to be happening

if your reads were all guesses and conjecture why didn't you at least preface them with that? you made it seem like you were very confident in your reads, but given the weak reasoning it made you look pretty bad

Re: TWG CXLIII: SK Loses Again Game Thread

I feel similarly to this too, but it seems more to me like he's asking whatever pops into his mind without considering the implications or the importance of the answers rather than BSing everything. Asking questions for the sake of questions sticks out pretty hard if the questions aren't followed up or the answers don't lead anywhere. Has rzr been following up on earlier points and questions?

It'll take me a second to sift through. I know he's answered my follow-ups to some of his questions, but I'm not entirely certain on how this interaction is with all of the other players. I would like to see something more detailed in his reads list and highlight responses from players that give them that alignment. Trying to sort through MEGAPOSTS is hard since the follow-ups to questions are included with his observations of thread-going-ons.
