TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

If I am the Seer, then James May is green.

if you really thought it was that bad of an idea, why did you name a check right away instead of saying something

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

I thought that doing it was better than not doing it considering the chain of claims already started before I got in the thread.

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

is that sarcasm

Actually no. Post seems really townminded and I think a wolf wouldn't out in that much thought this at this point in the Game.

Do you not like it? Why not? Do you not feel it's Alignment Indicative or that it indicates the opposite of alignments?

Town wins:

- 1 True statement containing proof that 1 player is Vanilla Town.
- Something to talk about.

Wolf wins:

- 8 False statements containing wrong information that everyone is stuck caring about.
- Can start doing a PoE to find the real Seer.
- Can use the fake green check claims from the other Towns against them.
- Town players may assume things that aren't true.
- TvT are more likely to happen because Vanilla Town players posted a lie.
- Wolves may appear townier if their green check is playing like a green check.
- If the Seer doesn't die, it's possible we never really find out who was the green check.

etc. etc.

It's like a gambit, you give town a tempo with the new vanilla town proof, but you completely lose the upper hand strategically speaking.

More like

Town wins:
Wolves have no idea who is seer. As the game goes on seer either dies by luck on wolves part or hard claims several days in while remaining "seers" confess lying; town has hopefully 4 confirmed lock-clear folks in best case and one in worst

Wolves win: only the true seer checks. He dies night 1.

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

Yo, Precarious, do you have any reads right now?

MML seems really town, but that could be me reading to what I already know, since I know he's green.

DFR seems to have become way more forceful than in the Survivor game. Not sure how much that means, but I lean town there for sure.

AA is active and pretty aggressive, but I don't really get an overall sense of of style from their posts. Somewhere between town and null.

I'm not sure what to make of you and Shadow sparring, since there's been a fair amount of conversation of what should be an innocuous topic. It's not particularly strong, but I kind of suspect one of you is a wolf. Not a very definitive read though.

R.E. Aryxi is the most suspicious person to me right now. The Charu check thing feels lazy, but there's been no content of note after that either. It feels like they're running away from a mistake rather than confronting it, which leans anti-town.

James May is basically impossible to read because he made some non-game type posts and hasn't posted since. That's a playstyle that can be replicated regardless of alignment. With nothing else to go on there, I real null for now.

Haku disavowing the superactive style of Survivor and Canceled Turbo is a little strange, but it seems more reactionary than anything else. Floating somewhere between town and null.

Genuine mistake btw, if it wasn't interpreted that way

Well, make up for it with some thoughts/reads

[Hakulyte]

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

any reads besides your null on shado

I like how haku completely ignored where I asked him for reads

Would you be upset if I told you that I can't read this game at all even though I've probably reread the entire thread like 4 times by now.

[juckter1]

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

Ty for reads precarious.

Unfortunately, that post means there's literally no way you're the seer, making it pretty much useless. However, I don't think it's too alignment-indicative. If anything, the fact that you said it was actually a mistake seems towny to me, as you could have easily been like "jk I actually greenchecked juckter" and pretended the Charu check was a shitpost.

[Hakulyte]

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

Maybe he's clever and posted a fake mistake. I wouldn't discredit him for that.

Haku tell me a story that means alot to you

Re: TWG Turbo V: No One Pretends to be the Seer Game Thread

Open unrelated question just for thinking purposes.
Why didn't we all follow the title? Is it really a bad strat to not pretend to be the Seer?

In turn it might be effective to keep the wolves at bay for a bit but other than stalling I can't really see how else it would be effective for later on in the game.

It didn't fail last game. There wasn't enough game to evaluate the pros and cons of that approach, but if anything the conversation broke Arnt. If you want to attribute that specifically to DFR, fine, but an active thread is one that is forcing people to participate, and that's precisely where and how wolves get exposed.

Understand that one of the mafia communities I've played at in the past in Forum Games on Kongregate. This was the most recent game I participated in there. It was only six pages long, and two of those pages were nothing but "Sign" and "Confirm" posts. Despite the fact that I had a witch absolutely pinned, the other town players failed to even appear to vote, which blew the game. And I've actually seen worse inactivity there. Believe me when I say that whatever risks are entailed by an active thread (and I'll concede that it's irritating having to catch up when I'm afk for a few hours), an inactive game is universes worse.

If you'd prefer to dispense with some of the non-game posts (chatting about whatever), fine, your playstyle is obviously your own. But activity is the town's best weapon, particularly in a game with very limited night powers. Can that backfire? Of course. But the alternative is barely a game at all.

Agreed, good stuff good stuff... but

I guess I'm going to go do the ultimate strategy.

Being afk.

Reason is simple; I'm not helpful and I don't feel like I will be more helpful if I stay active.

See you later.

Don't know if this is usual Haku behavior but i don't like this.
