Since he defended me, I'll defend him. I don't think a wolf or a SK would defend me right here with mechanical talk. Call it a hunch, but if they choose to leave me be and have me around the the entirety of the game, I don't see how that would benefit them at all.

...Just my 2 cents.

maybe, but there was also no way you were ever going to be lynched, so it would be incredibly easy for him to 'defend' you from a nonexistent outcome

reading into Charu's claim is a waste of cognition, and it's analyzing it is an easy to way feign investment in the game imo

However it produces some talk about how the game should be run, but I agree, he hasn't really said anything of the sort. Just defending and believing me, heh.

bringing it up is fine and dandy but I want to make sure it's not a substitute for solving the game

what are your thoughts on freezin's sudden attitude change after your unvote?

I'm going to have to reread later, but I gave him towny points for that whole exchange last night. When I pushed on him repeatedly, his responses seemed natural. I didn't like the fact that he refused to acknowledge calling you suspicious at all, but still looked town for the exchange.

His tone/attitude shift wasn't suspicious to me, though, because I was the one who initiated it. I went from, "you're fucking scummy!" to "It's nice to meet you, /unvote" in one post, so it also seemed natural that his tone would shift in responsr to mine.

I think you're pushing on town rn tbh, but there's no harm in that because it lets us all decide where the both of you stand and continues to generate useful info.

I'm more spectating the people at the moment.

I'm inclined to agree that Freeze is, err... I guess acting weird and sudden I suppose? It's the first time we're all playing with him, so I have nothing to base off of him unless I decide to dig into the archives and read a previous game he was in. But it would be sort of moot because playing differently after so long means nothing and it's super weak to use.

Gut is saying to watch him, maybe possible lynch candidate, but I don't think so yet. Phase is still young.

Here's a random shit post from me to cancel these posts out.

precarious can you produce actual reads instead of making raw commentary?

Yeah, I had noted the same. It makes me especially wary because he had done the same thing last game and ended up flipping wolf. Filling long post after long post with nothing but Charu is no way to go about hunting scum.

Precarious, where you at, buckaroo?

Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread

Kind of mindmelding with DBP, so I'ma force myself to step back for a moment and also acknowledge that there's definitely a world where he could be inactive wolf (as per meta) who then comes in strong with a wolfread and a vote to deter too much analysis on himself.

Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread

I did it I read the posts!!! MY THOUGHTS:

I believe Charu. Because of the reasons everyone has already posted, it would be a very ballsy move and a lot of lies to keep up with if he was a different role. I don't think the potential benefits would outweigh the risks or effort involved in crafting that sort of lie immediately off the bat. Also since it's been a bit and nobody has counter-claimed. I don't see many situations where the real BG wouldn't call Charu out immediately after that post.

I really don't want to say that he is confirmed though. He's not confirmed, and this way of thinking can be dangerous. Keeping an open mind to all possibilities is an essential part of TWG in my opinion. I'm going to keep my eyes open and continue to analyze him because there is still a chance he could be lying. But, I do think it's more likely that he is telling the truth. I don't think there is much point in focusing on this at this time

I've never played with Haku before. But there are a few things about his play style that rub me the wrong way.

I can sometimes be confused by mechanics too but the solution isn't to just ignore the mechanics of the game and hope for the best. Give them some thought, ask questions if you have to and try your best to figure it out. If players don't understand the game properly that leaves a lot of room for wolves to manipulate them. So it's not good for town to have clueless people on the team. Also, The way that you talk about your understanding of the game and "being dumb" seems like it could be an excuse to make slips.

I don't know, I don't think it means anything right now but I just wanted to jump on the Haku advice train lol

I found ShadowWolfe's jump on Freezin to be very strange for a number of reasons. That post kind of came out of nowhere. It seemed like his points were reaching a lot, and he intentionally left out the context of several quotes to suit a narrative that he seemed to already have established. It didn't seem as... inquisitive? as I would expect from a human player.

I am suspicious of anyone who claims that something is 100% confirmed when it isn't. Precarious seems very confident and sure of himself for someone who should be questioning everyone/everything around him

Sorry for wall of text

Hi there!

Still trying to figure out what this 'missing context' is

Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread

stuff left out was my posts, and what i said in my posts was what he was putting in bold inbetween the freezinice quotes. Minus the hopping on haku wagon, because there's no wagon? Just me with a vote on him
