TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

how does this game compare to game you played on Talking-time?

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

The weird thing is that when reading the thread in context, it feels like there's not a lot of meaningful conversation, but when looking at everyone's post history on their own, there's a lot of stuff that at least pertains to the game. That suggests to me that Survivorship is taking precedence over actually putting out hard accusations.

Let's change that up.

I get what you're trying to do with that vote, but voting for someone like shadowolfe or someone who has been more invested will more likely shake things up, and even then it probably won't perform what you want it to

TT took their mafias pretty seriously, to the point that they eventually stopped doing them because I think people were burned out. The pace wasn't quite as fast there, but it was still very fast. There were a lot of different playstyles (pseudo-spammers, various levels of analytical, active lurkers, etc.), which made games very interesting. People were very quick to vote there (probably because hammer/instalynch was never on), but it's probably not fair of me to compare that aspect to here, since I only have this game to go off of and the Survivor aspect means that it's (presumably) not behaving like a normal game. Well, and it's day 1.

I mean, yeah, and it's not like I know where my final vote is going to be anyway, but voting someone I have a town read on is right now is even more ineffective. The main point was just to throw down a vote and hope other people would start doing the same. If everyone's accruing votes, people might start making more aggressive moves.

Was just kidding! But yea I'm ldo clear by now

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Aryxi is supposed to come back and post something like a big post/read lists/content or whatever.

I wouldn't bother with him until it happens (or not).

[Hakulyte]

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

so I actually went back and checked everyone's post history (well, other than Haku and Charu because fuck that).

1. Hakulyte - Massive postcount, virtually all posts are non-game conversation or otherwise insubstantial. Very engaged, but probably a survivor (no hesitance).

Sorry for not being worth reading.

2. ShadoWolfe - Didn't stick out to me from memory and I was a little suspicious, but looks way better when actually checking their post history. Pro-normal play, which syncs with my views, and generally seems to be actually probing, which backs up their perspective. Survivor read.

I don't know, I got wolf vibes from his tone especially in the last 2-3 posts before he left to go sleep. Getting tired?

3. Red Blaster - Hardly remembered their posts, history was more interesting on reread but still content-lacking. Feels a little perfunctory to me, although I'm limited here by no prior knowledge of playstyle. Null to slight wolf lean.

Yeah, I'm not sure where to place him either, but he's not clear for me.

4. roundbox - Kind of suspicious. Tone indicates someone comfortable with the nuances of the game, but overall post style feels a bit lacking in substance (which is more concerning because it feels like there should be substance right at the edges). Slight wolf lean.

I feel like throwing dirt at him nonstop until he does something alignment indicative because his "by the book" play is boring me.

5. Wineandbread - Started off with a comfortable post style that spoke to survivor status, but second half of posts feel a little more strained. Hasn't posted recently. Slight survivor to null (more null) read.

It's like a 2nd Red Blaster for me.

6. Precarious - Coolest dude that ever cooled a cool. Also a snappy dresser.

wolf suit when?

7. DaBackpack - Turned out to look much more town than I expected, to be honest. Speaking more in generalities than targeted probing, but just about everyone's guilty of that. Seems to be actually trying to figure things out from a distance. Survivor lean.

I'm town-reading for how he's playing, but at same time, it's such an easy play that I can't clear him for that alone.

8. thesunfan - More posts than I expected. Initiated the litmus test and posted a test post immediately. That speaks better than anyone that followed since it was their idea, but it's hardly exculpatory because someone was going to propose that eventually. On the other hand, said finding wolves isn't the top priority which is wrong and not a good look. Not a lot of fluff posts, most stuff at least pertains to the game and seems to be thinking about it. Slight survivor lean.

I suffer from "I can't trust you because you're too nice" syndrome. Otherwise, he would be a town-lean easily.

9. j-rodd123 - Not sure what to make of him. Posts are fairly substantial in that they actually make a point of saying what he thinks, but his positions are basically unsupported. Kind of flailing, but in a self-preservation emphasized style. Slight survivor lean, close to null.

His game looks very natural to me.. until he fake claimed received gifts. Please tell me more about it lock-clear senpai.

10. Tokzic - Most notable thing is the voteless claim. Other than that not a lot to go on. Seems sincere in a couple places, but kind of withdrawn. Null read.

You can't null read Tokzic. You just can't. Take a stance you meme.

11. MixMasterLar - High post count. Stylistically has some similarities to Charu in this game, sort of a relaxed high-activity aggression. At the same time, cared enough to do a casual roster run. Slight survivor lean.

Probably Survivor, but I'm having trouble reading him. His play is too natural like mine ironically.

12. R.E. Aryxi - Lots of empty posts but not a huge count, and the whole thing feels slightly ingratiating in places. Promised a yet to be delivered mega post. Slight wolf read.

Waiting for more content from him.

13. Charu - Activity speaks well of him, but his playstyle is highly similar to someone I played with on The Return of Talking Time, and I could never read that person because the massive unfocused posting can be replicated regardless of alignment. There seem to be more hints here of things that actually pertain to the game, so I'll go with a slight suvivor lean here.

Would vote for him any day if nothing better to do, but that's just me being lazy and not wanting to deal with good players.

14. danceflashrevo - Lynchproof claim. Started off with a high post rate, which has come down somewhat since. Feels a little to unsure to me, but that could be meta or a reaction to the game. Null, possibly the slightest of wolf leans.

I'm seeing null, I'm not sure why wolf lean. Would be nice if he gave a read list or something.

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Yeah, I know, we don't need more bad input from me.

[MixMasterLar]

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Hey, sometimes I comply immediately. I just didn't feel like it this time. Plus someone needs to be that one guy to make people go "whatcha doin' that for sonny boy?"

It's a win/win, and I looooooooooooooove it.

.....

Ok
This style of posting does strike me as your town game. I'll unvote for now. I still have my eye on you

Something about this game is making me absolutely not care what happens. Maybe it's because of a lack of actual town team. We're all independent here, so y'know, we all have to survive. I bet the game doesn't end if all the wolves go off and get lynched.

If fucking better or I sub out
Arnt please answer this

How fast I'm posting should make it obvious that I'm not putting much thoughts behind my posts.

Stahp it

its really important that you look at your PMs before you post anything at the start of the next day phase. You might have been silenced, and posting when you're silenced is a modkill, and that's a pretty stupid way to go.

if someone can repost this at EOD or something like it, that would be good, I was afraid I would forget

That's going to be a shit storm with night talk on.

Yeah, I know, we don't need more bad input from me.

You and SunFan are probably my two top towns. I welcome any input.
Just. ... do try, k?

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Haku I posted a reads list, albeit not very developed, it just kinda happened when I was typing up something to j-rodd or something. Sorry my activity died down, school lyfe

Uh.. thing that I got from past two/three pages: I think precarious's reads list was pretty well developed for this time in the game. He gets a pass from me for now. I want to see more from roundbox, wabby, red blaster, and aryxi. i think my vote is on rb and it'll stay there cuz pressure

[MixMasterLar]

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

I didn't have a gift in my PM

I dont know if comparing me and Charu is a compliment or an insult

I think while Shado could be a wolf he is more or less acting methodically like in BOATS

I hate how no one agreed with me on Charu and that makes me think I am way off base


.....I'm not sure how to proceed. It is day one tho, so I guess I'll waut a few hours for REA

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

i don't have any opinions on charu. i can't read charu. charu's crazy
