This game is just a fanfiction and I'm the main character

I know I said id iso sunfan but that feels like a waste of time right now; if he's a wolf there's no way im converging on that conclusion by EoD

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

There is no way you think xel or I are that wolf, what the fuck star, I actually want you to elaborate on this, because this makes no sense. We've been talking about the relevancy of meta, but this you should just know makes no sense

I am being a bit glib in that post, not sure if that is why you are reacting so strongly to it.

Despite the fact that I have quite a few town reads I currently feel good about, I have been struggling with feeling left with a lot of people that I don't have enough on.

The people I already liked most before the end of the day, kind of reinforced that during the end of the day by being relatively engaged with vote options outside of Ben and me, which looked to me like active solving.

It would basically not surprise me in terms of how the day end played out, for there to be a relatively inactive wolf voting for Ben for "info" as a preferred vote off option over me. It feels like a safe spot for a wolf to be in. So it is a sentiment that you and Xel deserved increased scrutiny.

the PR thing with Zenith though, I can't shake that his reaction might just be flat-out narcissism (sorry, Zenith). it's such a weird hill to die on.

if he was a wolf, I guess there's the world where he's ultra-paranoid and wants to immediately dispel any possible perceived misunderstandings about his intentions. a kind of panic, knee-jerk reaction. but as was mentioned, it would have been infinitely easier to play it off as a dumb-tell (tbh i kind of thought it was a dumb-tell, too)

wolves fake dumbtells, sure, but to feign a dumbtell and then actively undermine that by arguing that you actually spiritually meant what you said the entire time, makes not a lot of tactical sense.

That specific point at least, feels more like he believes what he's saying and wants to set the record straight, even if it makes him look self-absorbed.

The comments about Raeko and how "she was his top town read" and that he's upset she died is pretty bad, though.

I'm pretty sure you've rolled wolf in the past (my memory is terrible)

You tell me, did you ever feel the need to wait for your partners to be online before posting?

Personally I've never really cared and I think the answer will be the same for most people. Unless you need to coordinate a vote rush in LYLO or something

That's not the point, I just wonder if anyone else finds the idea of two wolves going back and forth alone in the thread like it's some literal staged play to be weird at all. I would totally do that if I was wolfing, but I don't know about other players doing it. If people think it's a bit weird, I'll look into it more

I've only rolled wolf once in my entire life and it was last game. And well, no, I pretended my partner didn't exist in my own head

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

also, i still think zenith made an honest mistake that he explained just fine shado.

as far as I can recall, everyone agrees with this

it's a thing, sometimes called "wolf theater", and can be a good way to either manufacture consent by artificially steering a conversation a certain direction, or it can be used to create distance between two wolf partners

It probably isn't the most likely thing to expect, but not unheard of

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

just so we're clear, if zenith flips wolf, I voted him for exactly what shado voted him for like 24 hours ago (sans the commentary on one other post of his)

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

Gonna look into this harder but posting so everyone has it on hand since it could be useful

#post voter: voted - context

#115 sunfan: dbp - more of a meme vote, prompting him to "be townie"
#172 zenith: sunfan - definitely a meme vote
#208 sunfan: bugkid - seems unserious, but notes bugkid lacks audacity, potentially implying that their game is different from usual. Interestingly, the two people in their micro reads list were ben and raeko, pinning them both as town. In #209, there could be some foreshadowing with "please do not let this post age badly ", especially if sunfan is wolf, could be a weird flex explaining the NK
#211 freezin: ben - "cotton candy empty posts", which I agreed with at the time of this post
#241 freezin: unvote - No real context seemingly provided, so freezin, could you elaborate?
#242 haku: dbp - demanding pressure
#243 star: zenith - in response to a trend Zenith brought up. Star replied, verbatim: "I am pinged by this interaction because I think this is something that you could have held onto longer to watch for basically - we were less than halfway through d0 at that point. Which, makes me worry that the motivation for posting this now is to look good. "
#266 raeko: xel - interestingly following xel saying he'd like to see ben or raeko flip, which again are the two towns dead by d1, and this is coming from a known town now
#328 star: bugkid - Due to the reads early in the game on her and sunfan, considering too much information given. interestingly contradicts sunfan's context in #208
#342 ben: bugkid - frankly not sure how to interpret ben's reasoning for voting bugkid, no reason was given in the post, and ben says "still don't like that post from star", which I'm assuming is #328, so I think ben was basically agreeing with star there. haku had a similar confusion in #349, and doesn't look like ben ever clarified this. not that this matters too much, ben is proven town
#359 dbp: sunfan - specifically listed ben, sunfan and star as the wolf trio. Never elaborated, seems to be meme since he said later on "ok let me actually catch up
#368 ben: star - seems like a rhetorical vote flip in reference to being questioned on #342
#373 sunfan: star - followed bugkid (wanted to vote star in eod, as a sidenote)
#400 bugkid: star - didn't want to accidentally insta in a 15 players game with 2 votes on star, whatever, then adds that ben wasn't wolf (which we know to be true now)
#419 dbp: ben - seems like a meme vote in context (crazy at this stage of d0 but oh well)
#424 shado: freezin - mentions a wolf trio being freezin, raeko and zenith/sunfan. The other context provided in that post seems important to me, as it's a bit more strategy than reads: "I'm never voting star, backpack, or haku this phase, and by extension I'm following backpack's read on bug and not voting bug either. benguino and botchi and hateandhatred I know very little about and are pretty solidly null in my head despite a decent amount of AI content from benguin". A lot of regurgitating of previous points too, especially the "AI ben content" thing referring to #211, which was ironically from freezin
#479 sunfan: botchi - says that vibes with botchi are off and referencing a previous game. Surprised that he was followed into votes on star
#483 xel: ben - self admitted, non convinced vote parking
#525 raeko: star - would have preferred xel but felt nobody would follow her. Star failed her vibes check
#526 freezin: ben - contrarian vote
#559 sunfan: dbp - expresses not knowing who to vote and eliminates xel, bugkid, ben and star, says no one cares about a botchi vote, then lands on dbp
#563 shado: unvote - feels like freezin was being much more genuine in #557
#573 shado: ben - no context given (7 minutes to EOD)
#584 sunfan: botchi - was basically dared to do it to express confidence
#589 ben: botchi - follows sunfan, wants to live
#591 freezin: botchi - also follows sunfan
#593 hate: ben - wants to hit a target that would reveal more from interactions into d1
#603 sunfan: ben - begrudgingly votes ben while believing they are town

I don't think that's something that ever happens, especially not in this game.

It's just that as wolves, xel and I are in the "ballsy wolves" bucket 100% of the time. It's something I'd expect you to assume given the number of games you've played on here. It's like if I said "I assume star would be a low effort poster" when that's just not true in any game ever. I wasn't even scumreading you for it, I was just baffled

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

my vote on Ben was not a meme vote
