Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

not shrugging it off! it's just a classic wolf move to make a post like that! gives them lots of time to go through, read it over, make some edits, make sure it all makes sense before sending it out into the world.

speaking of editing:



what's the name for when a wolf is more likely to make errors like this because they're going back and editing/fine-tuning their posts? can't remember!

otherwise, the content of the post was fine. not wolfy but not towny either.

for your question, the tone change was a combo of having thought over where apollo was pulling that accusation from and also not really having solidified my roleplay voice yet!

I get what you're saying, but I hadn't been in the thread for a good while! What do you think of Molly's absence? It's starting to line up more with your read about her surface level plays, mrmpht.

So, obvious/basic gimmicks don't actually prevent an acquisitioner. Eg, appending words, or changing letters simply, is easily feignable by the acqui so if anything it helps the acqui by giving them a target they can easily be an imposter for.

I actually think in the last anon game with an acqui, the acqui on day 1 used an obvious gimmick to seem non-acqui esque or similar? Been a while but that's how I remember it.

Anyways gonna go over the thread now with those initial thoughts out there

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

where do you differentiate the two
like, why is this person wolfy and not boring

I guess I don't really understand what you're saying here

ye she can be both
you overthought this mate

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

Everyone voting an inactive here is just outright lazy and looking for an easy town read. Disgusting.

and i get where you're coming from too! for molly, don't think an absence tells me much. it's sunday! us animals have stuff going on! can't get anything out of it one way or another.

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

Shifty how so?

vv

wolves should be most worried about acqui rn
my platform is village focuses wolves

So would you think that somebody posting in a obvious and blatant gimmick to avoid being targeted would be leaning more wolfy then?

Why did you vote for dotty instead of me? That's kind of rude

If voting for people posting less is what's going to happen here this phase, I'd avoid Del because of this for now. Would be weird to draw attention onto yourself like this questioning that vote.

shifting away from del / shifting to gimmicks.

I dont think maples gimmick is wolfy

I hope that this is a general statement and not trying to be a response to me, as that'd make two different people now answering for Tank and that's not a good look.

shifting focus

I think you're overestimating the impact people discussing gimmicks has on the acquisitioner. If they're a smart player, they'll do whatever they can to jump into a slot they think is easy to emulate. I think you're being a bit too nervous about this acquisitioner. Is someone worried about being acquired, mrmpht??



Apollo, you look dirty here! You didn't really look at anything else in the thread and are just jumping straight onto voting for Chief. Seems opportunistic, I would say. Did Agent S slip your mind?

Taking by the bolded portion that you're suspicious of Chief? But then obviously suspicious of Apollo from your vote, so would you believe Apollo's vote is sort of distancing?

shifting to Apollo


Made note of it, but not really polling my vote. Just looking for thoughts specifically on where you stand on Chief, on Molly, and on Julian. Also, what are your thoughts on inactives as we close in on eod?

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

chief, phil, and tank: have i ever told you fellas how beautiful you are? i just love how our minds are melding!

mind meld huh?
not feelin it on my end. think you're a bit dramatic tbh

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

I'm slowly leaning Julian back to null based on more recent interactions.

Just feeling like I had the wrong idea.

I'm not quite sure you understand the context of shifting if this is all you're referring to.
In regards to Maple, that was surrounding discussion about acquisitioner and gimmicks to avoid being the target so this doesn't shift away or towards anything.

In regards to Del, it's as simple as looking at somebody pointing out two inactives and voting for one of them. What reasoning is there to do one or the other or is it just flipping a coin there. And then, would a wolf come right out and ask why they aren't being voted for there? Wouldn't it'd be easier to sit back and let another person get potentially wagoned while they might continue to be inactive? I used that little bit there as basis for slight town read, or at least enough to not worry about this phase if voting for inactives. In the vein of thinking, would you call somebody townreading a player and not looking at them shifting attention away from them?

In regards to Apollo, I already explained my questioning to Punchy so just read that I guess.

None of us, not a single one of us, would have guessed this.

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

First read notes:

- Dora has been posting a lot but not actually doing much
- the above makes me like chief because #286 was what i was thinking kinda
- the takoyaki is sus, dropped in then poof'd when it got attention
- phil is *mostly* fine (unique tone, probs won't get acquired), #257 is ehhhh but other thoughts are town trying to get info I think
- funny how flurry is top poster but nothing stood out to me
- #243, having a "hot take" that's actually pointless is dumb, but otherwise agent is fine ig
- Julian is mostly replying to people; reactive gameplay is usually more wolfy

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

I think majority of people know what skimming means

I'll just put this under the category of "semantics". Now that there have been some more posts, what do you think, mrmpht?

nah fam that's p nai.
what's wolfy is hunting down acqui not wolves
if village helps em do it, it lets the pack blend

what's with this weaksauce "if" blah blah is gonna happen?
you want that or not?

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

While mentioning Apollo though, I will say I don't really understand the flak on them for that intial post about Agent being the acquisitioner. I had it taken as a joke because there's no way anyone could have that read when acquisitioner wasn't able to take over any other accounts yet so there's no difference between playstyles to look at here. Unless people throwing shade on them for that is solely because they think it's coming from a newer player that rolled acquisitioner and has no idea how they should go about playing it yet?
