I would try to make it to a live TWG, if somebody is willing to organize it. Turbos are not good for my personal style or schedule, but if it makes more games happen, I would not mind seeing more of them.

im sorry for being a bummer this game, I was pretty upset with how certain things turned out but that's 100% a "me" thing and not something I should ever drag other ppl down with

I hate doing pity plays; I believed everything I said at the end there, but still shouldn't have mentioned them anyway

believe it or not I really don't like going for emotional manipulation in TWG, it feels dirty and below-the-belt

I never want IRL feelings to become a part of how I play TWG, whether it be my own, or ESPECIALLY other's

------------------------

With that out of the way, as much as that game sucked for wolves, the short game size and game length was a kind of nice chance of pace. For me personally, I dont have a lot of energy to spend for TWG anymore and even though it's fun, I don't want to be consumed by it for ~2 weeks like in the past.

I wonder if, in the future, we could mix up smaller and larger games for the main TWG series (godDAMN, still can't believe it's been over 200 games on this site). I know recruitment has been tight recently, which incentivizes smaller games even more. I think that keeping up momentum with smaller games could help rekindle interest in FFRTWG.

More Turbo games might be a good idea too--- it's definitely less stressful in a way, because a major deterrent for TWG games is the long-spanning time investment.

Live TWG would hit the perfect balance for my level of commitment at present---- I think it would be really cool to start that up again. Even if it meant recruiting others from adjacent communities. Or, having more casual Live games and atmosphere, such that we can have more accessible game nights and thus attract more people

I was gonna wait for postgame to talk but idk if that's gonna happen.
I only speak for myself here but I don't think you brought the game down.
Waking up to the lewdy shot must've been a pretty devastating motivation killer. You played it off well in the opening of D1 but that kind of thing is crushing.
Specifically in this game, coming back from that would've required not only perfect day play (mislynches every day) like normal, but also hitting blues every night with either nk or poison til f3. And by killing anyone other than the apprentice town N2 (with either nk or poison) you end up clearing the N1 target of apprentice town if they chose friendly neighbor.

Also, without any claims D1, a vigi claim in D2+doctor save that night puts you in a hellish f3/ thunderdoming against the last non-clear.

The alternate is, without any claims D1, a vigi claim in D2 + friendly neighbor claim + living neighbored town is either lock if you missed all 3 with your poison, or again a hellish f3

The odds against you were huge at start of day. I feel like it would've been demotivating for anyone, and I can't blame you for your absence afterwards.

I shared my thoughts on your gameplay/meta in game and don't want to hash that again publicly so let me just end by saying I don't think you should put yourself down or blame yourself for bringing game down. You didn't. Xel just rocked ass as vigi and basically GAME OVERed the wolfteam in one shot.

This pretty much describes my feelings perfectly, if not better tbh, I don't really think anyone holds it against you and frankly, I think most folks would have just conceded I think when the wagon formed.

Appreciate the effort regardless, because the game ended on a much more satisfying note that way.

Ayo, I never made a post game thread because I'm just full-on lazy and thought dead chat would entertain for a bit longer

Gonna make it shortly
