Default Re: TWG 198 - TWGabout Succession [GAME THREAD]

Warning, tower of quotes. Don't worry, I'm like open thinking and throwing the bits of info that catches my attention.

it's really weird that a d1 with both shadowgod and haku in it has had zero solving in 24 hours

therefore a wolf?

Look at everyone's ISO and tell me if you can actually figure shit out from that hot steaming mess.

Haku also just admitted up above to, I guess, taking a back seat for a while.
I definitely had a lazy start this game. I've been playing lots of genshin impact and messing around with that objection maker.
I doubt me having 100 posts here would have changed much.
I'm also keeping an eye on the 13.5th Official Tournament.

So, huh. Just keep an eye on the smaller amount of things I'm doing if it bothers you I guess.

Going to look into what seems to be early game reads.

uh what else

haku why aren't you town yet

i'm not voting ulle this phase. already know i have trouble reading her so

sunfan's ok, xiz's ok. these reads are tentative
FG
(I cannot take your T-Force vote seriously. In fact, if you want to genuinely vote him, you should make a mini case there at least. Even if you're not serious, it would be fun to actually evaluate you two properly.)

Free pass to Ulle before showing back up. (I wonder what you had in mind at that point.)

Haku -> (low activity I assume (lower than usual post per minute oh noes))
Sunfan -> ok (not quite sure what's your take on that one. I legit had nothing on him when you made that post.)
Xiz -> ok (I'm assuming formatting, but not quite sure where/why ?)

with the exception of a few new mods and maybe some very light oversight i dont really forsee a major shift in how twg is played

That's relatively neutral and by the book on what I think Freezin would do either way.

My reads aren't established and I was just trying to find a narrative to associate a character to each player. If I have reads they will be directly in the thread. I'm genuinely only using that objection maker because I'm curious to see how the game's narrative will align in the future compared to the randomness I'm improvising on the spot. Clearly that narrative is boring if you're a wolf therefore im town because I wouldn't be curious about this otherwise. 300 IQ play thank you.

I give a free pass to Xiz for objectively no valid reason.
I guess this has no value in theory, it's more comparable to a peace treaty.

Not only they're comments, but I'm not even committing to my own thoughts at this point. I'm still like trying to figure out what's worth investigating and what's not. I'd be very happy to have something worth spending time on.

Haku doing Haku things
Plop inquired about the objection thing Haku made
FFA thought it was weird that Haku and I weren't doing anything for the first half, we came to an agreement based off Haku saying he was taking a back seat.

I got nothing.
Well, this confirms that Shadow God is playing the game and is bored about the lack of new events within the game.
Free D0 town read yey.

Ok, so this is the beginning of a no explanation ffa wagon.

I have no opinion on FG
I won't defend this, but I feel like it's not worth voting.

TWGma doesn't want to vote Ulle.
This may or may not be worth noting for later on.

I kinda feel the same way... I got fishy vibes from that post but also I don't really have an idea of how this person plays so ????
Here we have a mutual Haku/Raeko association for voting Ulle.

Funny/Force I see as T/W or T/T
haku off the table, feels towny
raeko super light towny, liked the "yeah i thought the same thing" quote, felt natural
YoshL saying "nah this isnt a mindmeld" to sunfan is really towny, so they are off the table

don't really care about anyone else

ulle
Xiz wants to vote Ulle because Sunfan doesn't want to.

Plop defending Ulle.

I went back and actually read the post, and the majority of it felt like common sense.

Like for example, the call to let up on any red checks should be pretty common sense given you read the potential blues and reds in the game, there's a lot of them that manipulate checks (assuming we have the alignment check in the game in the first place)

The one good point that was brought up was the final part regarding red miles, because I had forgotten about potential slightly-forced pushes on various players from the red miles role. I think my biggest issue though then becomes, why didn't they apply this to anything said in thread?

Like, thinking about it, i really really don't like how there's for some reason very random traction (no matter how small) on t-force lynch? i get that people aren't married to the idea, but when i said "gut tforce wolf" i wasn't expecting as much discussion around it as actually happened.

Basically, I don't like the mechanics post, because it's comboed with "very simple thoughts about setup", and "not applying mechanics thoughts to things actually happening in game"
Okay, this is like investigating / giving Ulle something to answer.

Xiz voting interest went -> Ulle(?) -> Sunfan

ordinarily I'd town read the top poster but I feel shadowgod has proven post count is nai for them
now that we've moved out of obvious meme territory hopefully their insights start getting a little deeper
FFA is preoccupied by the state of the game most likely due to how stagnant everything has been.

If we mix my reads with yours here, I would say that specifically: Freezin/Plop/Sunfan are worth investigating.

Freezin has been playing super safe D0.
Plop free voted FFA and was mostly acting as a smart sheep.
Sunfan is all over the place.

uh what else

haku why aren't you town yet

i'm not voting ulle this phase. already know i have trouble reading her so

sunfan's ok, xiz's ok. these reads are tentative
FG has haku (activity?)
Interest voting within Sunfan/Xiz.

I'm not a fan because Sunfan/Xiz unlikely W/W.

- Only real talk is funny/force. Meme'd a bit on it but I kinda buy into the tforce mood thing
- I liked sunfan/yoshl interaction about it, more yoshl with the "not mindmeld" line because I've almost never seen a wolf say stuff like that to a town nor wolf.
- I didn't care about Force/Funny enough to take it serously
- No strong wolf leads, more often then not in past 20 twg games they are usually inactives
- dbp/ul/funny/force/mellon/ffa then i'll consider
- i removed funny/foce for a bit to get new info then realized they were both at the bottom, hence my lolz
- Mellon felt good, removed her. Said why in prev post
- FFA felt just there, but nothing stuck out. An option, but 3rd compared to DBP/Ult because miss-reading FFA is a thing
- DBP has a habit for being afk so I put him on standby until he came back after tutoring. I would have hopped on a dbp wagon.
- Funny/Force are just not w/w. I will fight anyone who disagrees. That is like, the only thing i'm confident of in this game so far. Between them, I don't hold the accusation by Yoshl/Sunfan with any weight, so its a coinflip on who to kill there if it came down to them. But I think t/t is more real then t/w at this current point.
- Ul is left from that. I didn't like sunfan's defence, so I thought about why UL more. And if we were actually ending that phase I rather see Ul dead over anyone else (with respect to DBP info, and like i guess FFA if there was anything he said weird)



tl;dr POE on UL from how everyone else acted so far
(this is fully unfiltered Xiz thoughts, like em or not)
I'm concerned about Freezin/Plop personally. I think they're a good example of someone potentially not getting attention.

I feel like it would fit with your theory about 2 afks wolves + 1 "ugh".

Xiz/Sunfan is suspicious, but I haven't decided if it's something we want to solve D0.

If there's a wolf here, it's Freezin imo. The thing is that, just like me, he's been probably waiting for something major to happen or simply for D0 to end to see flips etc.

Will consider because I wonder if there's more to the story.
Quoting myself to self reflect with the idea that maybe this was like a placebo vote to test the waters to later on become a real vote even if there's no good reason.

Shadow also interested in FFA and honestly my view of FFA was whatever because FFA wasn't viewing me in the best light due to activity which was kinda justified if you preach meta for every game.

Okay mindmeld with T-Force on that. Strangely enough, this is making me associate Shadow God with T-Force. Potentially with DBP/Plop, but there's at least 1 town in there 100% of the time which means my groupings are at least half wrong.

This is going to haunt my reads for the rest of the game.

Okay, this should be enough to construct itself into who has the most value to be voted. That being said, I need to sleep if I want to have 4-5 hours to put thoughts together.
Feel free to read into this, but it's just a draft. I'll try to come up with my own conclusions soon.
