    yeah
    roundbox is after that, but only because it has to be someone (I would prefer not to kill roundbox today but he made me like
    irrationally focused on him)

    I guess it did turn into a reads list after all

      leetic can also answer if he feels like it
      I was killed on the second day, nobody was really pushing me D1 (MML in particular was hard pocketed)

        ok, you win, I'm a little embarrassed given I asked people to read the OP and then I got something wrong from it

        I figured that it would be a replacement before a modkill, it is not

        I will have to figure out what the best thing to do is instead

Horrible mistake, it was just a giant mess of people shouting and pointing at each other and nothing to do with logic or deductive reasoning at all. anyway everybody from FFR was slowly eliminated from the game except me who was a vegan wolf who couldn't make kills. I was just stuck sitting there, can't even really play the game because everyone is just shouting and pointing and I'd been drinking and I wanted to go do anything else. so I was pissed off and moderately drunk when I went to excuse myself to the bathroom. I put my phone down on the toilet paper holder (wouldn't normally do that but pissed off and drunk) and it slid right off and smashed onto the hard tile floor and it was a bad enough smash that there were chunks of glass missing from the screen

            so yeah IRL TWG at Anime North gave me gamer rage and I kinda smashed my screen
            I sooooooo remember this now
            I came in late and saw you were the last wolf, and I remember feeling both very sorry for you and laughing a little at the reveal that you were the vegan wolf and couldn't make any nightkills as the last wolf
            soooo ridiculous, like the role is so sad to include in a game

            didn't know you broke your screen during that game, that's R O U G H

              arp, my friend

              I *definitely* remember you always
              a) rolling town
              b) being universally townread essentially always in all your games

              b is not occurring

              it makes me think that a did not occur, either

                Leetic, we have gone rounds concerning killing inactives and at this point I have to just quietly take my medications and admit the Cold War is over, my friend; I don't have the fight to keep going on and on about the topic

                You will never convince me an inactive PR is more beneficial then a resolved slot. I just don't believe it because inactive slots always bite town in the ass given a long enough timeline

                I don't know if I like Zenith being on that list. I was going to write a big defense on him because I don't like your inclusion of him on the list but I don't think I have a strong defense for him

                I think what I don't like is just, you wanting to off him as strongly as you do

                Arp I am agnostic on. You quote you in countless games: I wouldn't be sad if we lynch them I guess

                          why is a vote for raeko a bit much at this juncture? voting is how we best grease the wheels of the game is my premise for asking this question

                              Re: TWG Turbo 39: Timing Error [GAME THREAD]

                              Not so much a list of reads as it is a list of who I would kill today/who I wouldn't, at least that's my prediction for this starting out

                              Would not kill

                              leetic- This is 100000000% within his wolf range, but he truly was a provider of the sparks that got the game going right when I was wondering whether it'd be even playable. Yes, raeko and roundbox were there doing shit, and they get credit for it, too. It just wouldn't be fruitful rn to kill either leetic or raeko, and probably not roundbox either (I have a selfish reason to dislike roundbox). Leetic's read on nakah made me initially sus him heavily, pending any kind of satisfactory explanation of the read, and I misunderstood (I think?) his response, and during the period that this misunderstanding existed (I think), I thought it was a read he could've made as either alignment, and I shifted it towards being something he is more likely to do as town than as a wolf off of vibes. It is... noteworthy that leetic in the current thread has read someone's ISO and said "meh" but felt that he was able to read nakah off of what is the TWG version of a barber shop commercial. I will evaluate later. I forget why we killed leetic when we did in that game that I subbed into, maybe I wasn't part of the we that did that. Something worth checking later, someone remind me to do that if leetic and I are alive tomorrow.

                              Just would not be fruitful for today especially with how things stand now.

                              hopecaster- On a reread, before anything else, I've realized that the way I am wolfreading zenith is kind of at odds with the way hopecaster entered the thread? Like the way hopecaster was genuinely worried (post #115) about the fact that EOD might be approaching quickly (I think Arp! does this too? haven't encountered that yet) *feels* townie in a way that is so, so hard to attempt to qualify. I'll try to talk about his substance (you know, some actual meat that actually fucking matters) rather than his quantity through the reread.

                              I see now he also questioned Lar on how I feel "coy" being different from the norm, which I think I might be forced to put in the "actually feels too confident a read" thing that I initially felt from hopecaster.

                              god I kinda forgot how much I hate post #140
                              someone else tell me what they think of that post, because I think it was NOT GOOD.
                              roundbox, you do it, I know you read these things u big nerd.

                              I like hopecaster's question to lar in post #161, feels genuinely curious and not performative.

                              his process on leetic/my interaction is like
                              really heavily focused, and while it is... weird? maybe I like the fact that he seemed preoccupied with something for so long? idk
                              I literally just said in real time that idk that I like his focus on the combinatorix, but maybe it is alright given he is awed/had never seen it before, and wanted to do more with it. idk if this makes any sense at all to anyone else.

                              Lar- I... like his reads list less (not substantially less) on a 2nd pass. I don't think anything was super pressing before that happened. Currently waiting on a response from him about how serious he was about raeko's activity being potentially too high, but that doesn't really strike me as a town!lar thought, he'd just be grateful to have been wrong and probably not explore the thought too much more than that. I don't think I've ever seen Lar accuse someone of being too active in all the years we've played together, that really doesn't sit too well with me. His read on me is like
                              wrong? I tend to be "coy" or like

                              idk I wish freezin were here, he gets it. I, usually multiple times in a day phase, say things that I do try to make like fairly confusing or hard to understand, but they will all eventually make sense or be explained (or at least have the potential to be). I do this since literally before my twg brain was developed beyond peanut-sized. I am stopping myself from townreading Lar for reading me in a way that I don't think makes sense.

                              I really like the read on leetic, that's where I can see the throughline. He didn't like leetic's "clearing" (lar's words, not mine or leetic's) of Zenith, and brings it up enough to where it just feels like a natural line of thought. THIS is what I remember townlar feeling like.

                              As of the time of writing, lar just answered me about his raeko read as "pretty serious"
                              I do not like that.

                              I do like post #151 where he wants more from raeko, though. I wanted the same thing at that time.

                              I also like post #181 because villagers tend to be happier (yes this is a real read) also I think he might be softing that he is the vigi

                              Lar... should also not be giving me as many phases as he is to "let me cook" on the zenith read. He should be asking for it before EOD, maybe this is wolf him trying to keep things away from me? idk how to put it and it is selfish.

                              This is more complex than I thought it was. Perhaps I should not have liked Lar's posts as much as I did. I will continue to evaluate him. I think he would be a horrible first kill at the given moment, regardless.

                              raeko- there is less here, but there is GOOD VIBES ABOUND is probably the tl;dr
                              Firstly, let me say I am happy that no one has yet tried to give any read on how she has attempted to summon people with her votes. GOOD JOB EVERYONE

                              I like a lot of her questions/statements and haven't disliked any. The way she questioned roundbox right after he said something I despised was the first moment, and stuff in like #171 to hopecaster is like
                              basically what my read on hopecaster was at the time, which is awesome.

                              Would kill

                              Nakah- Has not earned the right to live. (I have since reevaluated this position to prioritizing killing other people. If his slot is just going to get modkilled, that's pretty awesome in and of itself)

                              roundbox- post #60 genuinely like... I struggle to find the right words, but I think it is "pisses me off." This is OMGUS, this discards too much of what he has done, but it just makes no sense, like voting me for being right about the state of inactivity in the thread feels genuinely too wacky for town roundbox? I don't know whether I am discussing hopecaster or roundbox first in this reads list, but I think the same Chinese parable illustrates the struggle that I am having with reading either of them.

                              Lu Su placed his hand on Lü Meng's shoulder and said: "I heard you were previously a mere warrior. But now, you have taken up scholarly pursuits and you are no longer that Meng under Wu." Lü Meng replied:

                              my point is that it has been a long-ass time since we've played, at least on FFR, perhaps some of you have played together on other sites, I have not. Hopecaster **IS** different than I am used to him being, not in the way Lar worded it, but he is less flail-y, like more focused and stuff, and he has talked about his process there (I'll try to focus more on roundbox)

                              I don't think what roundbox said about me doing that as a wolf makes any fucking sense from town roundbox. It feels like someone's guess as to what a wolf might pivot into doing for a passing amount of time, without knowing how awkward/jarring it is. Like raeko (who should know roundbox better than I) immediately responds with "uhhh, yeah, I think I'm gonna go with unplayably inactive on this one" in the very next post. The way you unvoted was maybe marginally towny, I guess? rereading further I forgot I (generously, I should say) chalked it up to just getting things going in the thread, but I feel less generous now on a reread. idgi roundman.

                              arp- essentially stands accused of the high crime of not being townie. In previous games, arp has rolled town in all of them, and been essentially universally townread in all of them. arps insightful questions/conclusions (more questions) have made them stand out as someone wolves have identified as a priority nightkill. This is completely, completely lacking from the current game and I have been surprised that no one else has commented on it. #176 feels kind of awkwardly logic'd (this is a verb, don't check me on it), even, because my reasoning hasn't universally made sense to anyone, and it is somewhat contradicted later in the same post when arp says that my reasoning is suspicious on zenith.

                              zenith- he was under the 5 posts (as was nakah, nakah in no way looks good for it), and he didn't make the posts he needed to make. He appears to have not attempted to, and I *think* this is because he got pinged in wolfchat about his activity level not needing to be more, and he was able to sleep instead and promise to put forth the effort he promised in his first post on the later days instead. (this was my hypothesis, but it was not confirmed until later, but I couldn't think of any other plausible reason)
                              I think that this only happens with access to wolfchat, and a partner who can convey this. Zenith even mentions checking the thread a bit, but made no posts. People like Arp and hopecaster, who were in similar boats, all posted.

                              This read SUCKS to make, but I genuinely think that zenith only plays the way he did if he has access to wolfchat, and learns of the phase delay via wolfchat, rather than the thread.

                              anyways
                              just learned that nakah only RISKS being modkilled, as pointed out by lar
                              FUCK
                              hate that
                              it probably does mean that he would be replaced first, if possible

                              anyways this is what I've got, I don't feel FANTASTIC about it in short, I do feel like there's
                              pretty likely?
                              to be a wolf between zenith and arp, like there's just too much weirdness there, too much that I feel good about

                              NORMALLY I have a big town circle and only a few people I want to kill in a day, like 3 (technically 4 if I am being mean to roundbox) is a very high number for me, but I feel good enough about it

                              FFR is a pretty good place somehow.

                                Yeah if Nakah would be replaced and everybody else is around this is a totally different situation than when we thought EOD was happening before and we had like 5 inactive people, I think we should definitely go for someone else
