Re: TWG CLXVIII: Capitalism [Game Thread]

that terrible attempt at a dumbtell

its not a dumbtell i would have made the same post regardless of alignment

Looking back through Visa's posts, this is one I didn't get.

Rather than a 'it's not a dumbtell, I made a mistake' we get a 'I would've done the same as any alignment'. Scum would have no reason to look at the OP (knowing how many partners they have already) and complain that's confusing speculating about how many wolves there are.

Re: TWG CLXVIII: Capitalism [Game Thread]

this is a bad idea
acquisitioner is just like the SK in any other game: they have an incentive to kill wolves early to increase their chances of survival to the end of the game
as an added bonus however, they gain perfect information on the entire wolf team as soon as they kill one
we will want to hunt for the acquisitioner specifically once either a wolf gets nightkilled (though that's just as likely to be a vigi kill) or in another phase or two
wolves are far more important because we do not want to have a mylo/lylo situation with 7-9 people

Whether or not they can help with wolves isn't relevant in my opinion. They effect town negatively especially if they get a town power role. And speaking of that, can they use blue roles when they aquire the account? If they can, it's important to find them, if not, still important as we lose our town powers, but not as important solely because they can't use them.

Well since my gimmick has been trivialized ill type like normal till i find a new one.

my point i was making was all this speculating about who the acquisitioner is at this point is almost pointless. my gimmick has nothing to do with it either. why would i go through the effort of doing that if i was just going to shed this name at the end of the day anyways and steal someone else's name?

If you wrote a program to do that, it makes it sound like it's not all that much trouble.

Also, why drop it because it was trivialized? Were you intentionally making your posts a headache to read and it's lost meaning because it has a counter? I don't think the linked program does anywhere close to a 1:1 replication of your choice of style.

Re: TWG CLXVIII: Capitalism [Game Thread]

Caught up with the thread.

Looks like most of it was about either:

1. IBM and thE sPOnGebOB mEMe
2. Acquisitioner in general, however mostly relating to IBM.

So, thoughts on the Acquisitioner that were probably already said in some way.

Waiting to see the Acq flip at the end of this cycle is a valid strategy, but puts us on the backfoot as it leads to the inevitable cat-and-mouse where we still can't really find who the Acq is now, because we're constantly spending time looking at what the Acq was doing before. I'd much rather be pro-active about such a thing, but I also hate linguistic analysis so I'm gonna hate myself (nothing unusual then)

Oh, and little gimmicks in your font are fun to do, but definitely not the way to avoid being Acquisitioned. Behaviours > Gimmicks.

I will admit right now I'm taking notes on both behaviors and gimmicks. This is the one time I get to do a linguistic analysis in a game when it might actually matter.

For instance, your British English is showing.

I like the flow of MickeyDs posting, puts out a towny vibe.

I don't understand how they're reading Amazon or why they're voting there.

Re: TWG CLXVIII: Capitalism [Game Thread]

Amazon

also when I read this I went "??????????????????????" so this is where I'm leaving my vote now

I could see McDonald's being a wolf here

Just seeing if calling you out would make you post, and it did. So you're just checking in and posting when you need to instead of when you can and actually try to help us. So in onto something.

Did you mean naming Toyota there as any more than a ping?

Do you agree with what you were responding to when you did that, that Toyota is playing like a townie would, but isn't town?

I don't necessarily agree with their posts, but they seem too flow naturally.

It was a ping. They only had 3 posts and there wasn't anything to go on. I picked a CEO with little posts to see if they were looking for pings. Which worked.

Starbucks feels town for that last post.
That's a thing that I think is hard for a lot of wolves to pretend to care about.

It's one of those cases where I disagree with what Starbucks' post says but they're going about it like they mean it.
