Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Xel is either really town or really scum from that zenith post, too early to call.

it's really try-hardy, so i'm leaning town.

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Please don't lynch me
I'm not a wolf this game!

Thoughts on the game so far:

There's potential for there to be a w/v situation with jrodd and sunfan, but I couldn't tell you who would be who..I'd be inclined to say it could go either way. I also wouldn't put it past them to bus each other like that out of the gates if they were both wolves.

Roundbox, tibs and fic I have no idea how to read. I'm getting a towny vibe from roundbox but nothing really from tibs or fic yet. Manti is also someone who rarely ever gets much activity in on d0 so same to him.

Plop is being plop. I like what I've seen in terms of him generating content and discussion so I'm giving him a pretty solid human lean until I see reason not to. To a slightly lesser extent I'm liking Xel so far as well.

Everyone else is pretty meh at this point. Fg and dbp haven't said much and Zenith's posting style reads either way to me.

.

this is wolfy, leave every option besides v/v open

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Jrodds post wasn't there when I entered the thread, that as a coincidence they are the bottom 2!

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Also, sunfan, post your "so much you need to say" in the post jtwg game plz.

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

I'll pretend plop is town for today.
I have no solid wolfreads.
Cya in 10 hours.

:/

Remember when Red first started playing and he wasn't acquainted with the TWG nuances yet and everybody would always lynch him because he would unknowingly say and do scummy things? I don't know what to make of Zenith yet so I don't want to say that that's the case with him now, but I do think that some of your points against him could be a result of that.

Blind did this a lot too, but people would let him pass it's like ahhhhhhhhhh.

To be frank like I said, Zenith can do better. If he's smart enough to take silly gambles and make it pay off, he's obviously smart enough to not play town like trash.

Oh, my two gut wolf leans since someone asked is Manti/Fiction. Purely gut but I have my eyes on them as wolf leans for the time being.

That was me. Dunno why you don't just have a null read on manti though, considering you have nothing but AFKing to base that off of if my memory if correct. (Probably isn't.)

I feel like Xel is town and has a slight grudge for my play in the last jTWG. My early posts were low quality and he has every right to nitpick them because I stated about reading white noise and not able to care enough about it.

If I did, it's not really relevant. There's a solid point in what I'm saying, and it's not like you're making a real effort to change it either.

Re: TWG 132 - Game (Thread) of Chimps

Okay so EoD is tonight and I'm on a computer now so here is my reads list thus far. Please note that this list is going to explicitly answer any post I quote.

1. Xelnya - Null, wolf lean

Earlier, I had a slight town read on him but the further I look into this quote, the more I second guess myself.

Anyways onto a real post I guess.



O.o'



Let's talk about this some more, and get it out of the way, because it's not a horrible place to start.

Because what was posted wasn't really anything of substance by the time he did show up.

Assuming I didn't fuck it up these are in reverse order of when they were posted.

Correction, irrelevant.



1) In my honest opinion, you should be careful mostly of players like jrodd for this, and not so much Greggles. Greggles tends to be pretty vanilla when he's town, if he starts playing less than just really vanilla best of town's interest, then you should be worried. I recall a game where jrodd had town literally wrapped around his finger as wolf. It's terrifying.

Mostly a filler / fluffy post though.



A DECENT POST.

2) A bit of elaboration would have been nice though.

3) Especially on who your gut read of who the wolves were. That's usually fuckin' helpful.



The first half of this post is so irrelevant I spared you and removed it.

But either way:

4) You usually come in, play like shit, cave under any amount of decent pressure, or make hilariously silly trades as a wolf that should wait for day two or three, because you actually have no fucking clue what you're doing. You rely on definition stupidity to get by.

You eventually die, and do something stupid either before you die, which is what gets you killed, or afterwards, which gets you banned.

You wanna see thrashing and bashing, go read some of my old SOTW posts, compared to that you're maybe as good as the old penny I saw on the ground at work and left there.

Because you know, it's useless.



We know. Trust me on this if nothing else this game.

Another corrective irrelevant post.



This post rapes my retinas.



5) So you didn't actually read, probably just skimmed, because there's some non existent white noise, such as the back and forth between jrodd and Greggles, to comment on.

6) Dunno why you mention not being the cop here top of it. Really weird.



Only real white noise here is you.

7) tldr: There's more filler than anything worth while here. There's a gut read that's half assed here, and feels really blend-y to me compared to say the back and forth between greggles and jrodd.

Zenith, even you can do better than this.

1) It is Day 0, and it is what I interpreted. From your reaction to that, you seem more nervous about Jrodd than I am; granted that I have my own doubts about him.

2) I believe I answered this section with an earlier post; refer to that.

3) Likewise to above, plop asked me the same question.

4) I understand the frustration of being an experienced player looking at a player of my capability and cringe painfully, which is why you said you would laugh. I'm just trying new approaches with each new game because obviously the first few approaches didn't work well if at all.

5) Once again, I believe I mention the trade between sunfan and jrodd and said my words about them in an earlier post.

6) Sigh, yet again explaining one more time that it is not beneficial to me to claim cop in this game because I'm not the cop unless I am trying to draw fire away from the actual cop so he could live another day. Though now most likely, I've lost credibility if I try to do such an action.

7) After reading this list, what will be your thoughts?

2. Manti - Null, gut wolf lean.

One post cmon bro get with the program.


3. Dabackpack - Null

3 Posts to read off of, and only one intruding sentence that would catch the eye. "like it's not bad if I say that I got a seer on blind". Caught my eye, to say the least.

4. Fiction - Null

Again, 3 posts and they have no quality.

5. sunfan - Wolf

Rereading all of his posts and hmm. This is a strong lean for me because of these posts:

tibs is green idk if this is good or bad

cuz im the cop

He mentions my fakeclaims and then does a neutral claim that I'm actually reading more wolf than VT or actual cop would do at that point of the phase.

ok I lied.
you don't know how this setup works if you think its bad. Either way I may or may not be the cop and I may or may not have a check on Tibs. Anyways, by pushing against people that are claiming instead of also claiming, you make it more and more apparent who the real cop is to the wolves. Its a worse version of openly admitting to be vanilla town, in a weird inverse way.

Normally, its not good. I'm not saying its the best thing to do in all setups. It works in this setup, and it works well. Based on who gets wolved, we can end up with a pseudo confirmed town since it seems most likely that the wolves will be cop-hunting till we lose the cop. If the wolves try and do something fancy, it will become readily apparent over time. This is the optimal play.

You need to think about the setup if you think otherwise.

Yet another mention of neutral claiming/talking about the cop role. I can see him fishing real cop to eliminate them early on.

either way I'm town so w/e

Note change in attitude and backpeddling from the duel with jrodd.

Rest of the posts seem odd, as if flustered even before the pressure began and it just carried through the rest of his posts.


6. roundbox - Town

Noticing the sunfan v jrodd situation, he throws reads about certain players while also mentioning sunfan possibly claiming cop, he draws the train of logic to fiction. Maybe the right or wrong move.

7. plopadop - Town

This is a whole different attitude that plop brought into TWG 131 when he was a wolf. His posts have a strong exposure of wanting town to start getting started with their reads and moving to a consensual lynch today while also getting his own reads/reactions.

8. Tibs - Null

3 posts and they are all about the cop situation. Disappears after mentioning TWG 131.

9. j-rodd - Null, slight wolf lean.

I have the strongest feeling the whole situation between him and sunfan is a W/V discussion, as mentioning earlier about sunfan being my strongest wolf read. At the end of it all, he tunnels onto sunfan without hesitation as if he is sure sunfan is a wolf. In the event however sunfan flips VT or Cop, jrodd is nearly 95% wolf.

10. blind - Null, town lean.

Null because of first post claiming cop (obviously not serious but still worth noting). Town lean because he quickly shown his suspicion towards manti/fiction.

11. Red Blaster - Null, possible w/v with funny.

Please don't lynch me
I'm not a wolf this game!

Thoughts on the game so far:

There's potential for there to be a w/v situation with jrodd and sunfan, but I couldn't tell you who would be who..I'd be inclined to say it could go either way. I also wouldn't put it past them to bus each other like that out of the gates if they were both wolves.

Everyone else is pretty meh at this point. Fg and dbp haven't said much and Zenith's posting style reads either way to me.

These are his reads, along with a lot of white noise and banter with funny that draw attention to a possible w/v between them, even though I mentioned them strongly being V/V; reading the post history tells something else.

Interesting first sentence to start the list. Hardclaiming Town? He doesn't have definitive reads on most of the players and seems to just be coasting at this point.

12. Funnygirl - Null, possible w/v with Red B.

Mentions thoughts on some reads of players, but isn't giving any reads D0 because she explicitly states being absent for EoD. Don't have much to say after that, but safely null until tomorrow
