TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I actually wrote a long post that probably crossed the lines so instead I'm just going to say this and move on:

Manti, unlike half these players I've played you. I've wolfed with you. Twice. I know your wolf strat has always been to wait last second and then try to use one post to indict someone, only figuring out a case of someone called you in it. I know you don't try to make random votes at EOD "for info" when you're town----as town you rarely make them, ever.

I am not buying what you are selling, I do not believe you

I look forward to your one sentenced canned response because you didn't read this past the vote, and therefore are unable to actually respond to me. When you do that, I will probably decline to engage your posts further

For everyone else: I will look back on EOD after I wake up in the afternoon and give thoughts then

That strat is predicated on a lack of time and/or interest. I signed up for this game because I had interest. I still lack time and may never have it again as my college days are long gone. I don’t get 4+ hours to hawk the thread anymore and draw conclusions. I see posts I don’t like I dig into them to figure out the reason. That’s why you got voted.

You’re saying my votes are random which is an abusive twist on reality.

I voted you because I didn’t like your 180 on the no lynch option. You were kinda for it but not really sold until you got pressure and then you backed off. This smells like a wolf feeling out what he can sell. There were no heavy bites and there was a little bit of pushback so you let it go. Sure humans can do this too but it’s a bit more likely from the wolf end IMO.

I voted Juber for wagonomics. He was not the better lynch.
I voted FFA because juber’s wagon was a pres vote from FFA, a mystery vote from freezin which I did not like. A non committal roundbox and SG vs my two heavy town reads.

Did anyone actually like the juber wagon? I think the answer is no.

in my experience humans dont make votes wondering how the wagon will look after the fact, they make votes on people they think are wolves or make bad votes like what i did with no info.

Cfd’s and end of day vote movement are very effective places to build associations. I didn’t factor in the unresponsiveness/lethargy of D1 I guess and it’s biting me pretty good at the moment.

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I appriciate the response, Manti.

Re-reading EOD now

[MixMasterLar]

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Stopping here for two notes:

Roundbox imma need you to convince me that Manti isn't worth voting
Sell him to me

I would like to know as well. Don't hate 'em, but he was certainly aggressive with his post about the no lynch topic along with the MML vote.

Roundbox never responds to these I don't think. I feel there have been several questions that Round has just sorta of avoided talking about, but this is one I wished he actually took the time to explore. At this point in my re-read I think he just drones on Lewdy for a bit with soft defense for his town circle.

I guess I'll toss some random thoughts out here:

I actually don't like MML and here's the reason:
Charu posts this:


MML follows up with it shortly after with this saying he's interested in exploring the No Lynch option.


Roundbox pushes back kinda strongly:


and MML immediately splits the difference instead of engaging roundbox on the issue. Giving the exact reasons why No lynch is a bad option (wagonomics and lynching is our only way to kill wolves).


I don't buy that MML thought no lynch was a good idea and 180'd as soon as he got flak for it. Feels disingenuous.

I dove into this in an unpublished post in a not cool way, but I still want to address this

Manti, you know your reason for voting me was that I was pushing the No Lynch too hard, right? But when you explain how I was pushing the no Lynch too hard your reason ends up being "well he was for it but isn't anymore. He 180'd on it. Wolf"

So in your world, if I liked the idea and stuck with it I'm a wolf, but if I liked the idea and then through conversation admitted it had drawbacks I'm still a wolf?

You can not explain your way out of this contradiction. You have given two different, opposing reasons for the vote that in the end you abandoned for really shady reasons.

In
Indifferent on Juber Charu SG and FFA

Indifferent on Juber

That's a lot of focus on Juber for being indifferent

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Other then Manti and FFA going on about Pokemon, the thing that stands out the most is Roundbox refusing to respond to me while constantly referring to me and Manti. It's weird.

I'm ok with a FFA lynch
I'm ok with Jub and Wayward tbh
I'm very ok with Manti because I think he's literally just grabbing the first pst he sees and trying to build an argument off of that instead of playing the fucking game. Again. As is his MO at this point

I am not ok with Lewdy lynch
I am not ok with Bug lyncg
I am not ok with Charu lynch
I am not ok with Freezin lynch

I guess Round and Raeko can live too idk not super impressed with Round and Raeko's d0 are aways kinda uneventful

These where my reads at the time, for those who think I was only voting Manti to avoid making stances or w/e. For what it's worth at the time I probably would have gone FFA for my second vote, so if you want to get at me for wanting to vote a town then c'mon at me. He had enough enough at the time and would continue to until Freezing strted the Juber push, and I thought Manti's reason was really bad so I stuck the vote to him.

what makes you so confident I'm town?
it seems like you're implying that a little bit

What the fuck is this phrasing? This is in response to FFA not liking Manti btw

Look back at EOD and Round spends more time defending Manti then he does anything else. It's weird, and he does it at weird times.

what builds associations in this game is also conversation, not just voting for someone to get them to talk. i don't vote people to pressure them. i don't think i've ever done that. i vote for people based on the information they give (or don't give). this opinion is very strange to me, but i still think you're town.

I disagree that you shouldn't pressure with votes, unless you're playing at ZD where they only allow you to make one vote (super weird way to play, but interesting)

I must confess I like the tone of this post. I think it looks good coming from Bug

I think you're town but I can't say why right now

Call it tone read :*

Huh oh hm...yikes
Starting to see why a possible wolf would theoretically want to switch votes to FFA. Just saying

jub3r7

Start of the counter wagon. We know FFA is town, and if Freezin was a wolf he had no reason to swing off him like that unless they are both town and Freezin wants it to be dramatic

......I don't believe that because Freezin is sick right now. As a sick wolf, if he didn't have to do anything he simply wouldn't. That's what my gut says anyway

Lets put the juber wagon at 3 with FFA and see what happens.

This trips me up because there's no reason to this at all rather he's wolf or town. I feel this and the next post are key to determining wolf relationships but I can't really pinpoint why

eh I'll control this vote sure ffa

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I think I like Roundbox less because he's very selective on what he's willing to talk about concerning Manti and in the end all he contributed was making the Juber counter wagon viable. He was for lynching Lewdy, and at first I wanted to softclear him and everyone who voted/pushed for Lewdy since Lewdy was clearly one of the three eligible Night Kills---surely no wolf would push for one of those three, right? Not given the rules

BUT OOPS EVERY SINGLE LEWDY VOTE BACKED OFF HOW CONVENIENT

I think I am more ok with Bugkid right now based purely on tone, but would like to see more

I think I am a little bummed Charu didn't really pop off, but get he's still in rest mode. I won't say never a wolf (Turbo 4 has scarred me for life) but I think he's still in the town pile for sure

Feel better about freezin for the Juber vote

[MixMasterLar]

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Will continue to sit on Manti vote.
Adding Roundbox to people I would Lynch
Kind of still ok lynching Wayward but honestly depending on how he responds today I might move him to null.

There wasn't enough fighting/drama for me to think Juber has a significant chance of being a wolf, but I expect more output from them before I'm not ok with killing them off

If Raeko keeps the same pace as d0 I'll probably move her to the "ok to lynch" pile, to

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

This game is hard because I have many more thoughts, but due to mechanics I don't want to say too much. Remind me in post game to go over them I guess

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

i like mml a lot at the moment. his posts are *chef's kiss*. i'm expecting a response from roundbox. i will say, when i've played with him he has generally only answered questions when specifically prompted so maybe this will give him the push to do so?

i wasn't convinced manti was scum yesterday at all, but his posts today are weird. i had also entirely missed that he voted jub and then switched to ffa (i originally thought he went straight from mml to ffa) so that is extremely wee woo wee woo sus to me

my votes leaning towards manti and oddly enough raeko, because her logic as to why she voted ffa and not jub felt out of character for her. hope she talks more today.

i like freezin as well

I don't like responding to important posts like this on mobile but here we go

My reason for voting you wasn't because you were pushing the No Lynch too hard. This is semantical maybe but Bugkid was the one who said you were pushing it too hard in post 270. I expect you to go back and confirm this.

I voted you because your stance flip was quick and in response to light pressure as I've said before. On D1, active wolves want to interact with the thread and get in good standing with it but don't want to draw too much attention. When I read your No lynch posts, they bothered me because they struck very close to this. You interacted with the idea of a No Lynch and kept it in conversation for quite a while and then backed off with the exact reasons it is a bad idea when Roudbox and mellon came out against it and bugkid also decided it was a bad idea. If you had reasons for liking it then I expected you to at least defend the option a little bit before switching off of it. I probably still wouldn't have liked your stance but at least you would have had a base you were working off of.

If you're mad about the first sentence of 267 (the post where I vote you but mess up my tag). That wasn't directed at you but just general frustration. No Lynch is a bad option unless it mechanically buys us another day or gets us more information and several people were flirting with the idea at the time.

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

@MML can you explain what you mean by freezin swinging of of FFA and onto Juber?

Freezin never had a vote on FFA so I don't know where you're getting this.
