Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread
I like to do isolated reads of each poster as well as read the whole conversation, so I can see how things fit together. I do this with Advanced Search, and you need the exact name. I'm not familiar enough with everyone to get all the numbers and quirks of the names right without checking, so it's handy to be able to refer to the OP.Comment

Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread
so what seems to be bothering me about freez's advice here is how it follows these two other posts
if freez has read recent games, haku's been in pretty much all of them, so ample chance to at least get familiar with his style, even if you're not going to hold him to account for previous mishaps. but doing that misses the self-stated essence of haku's play. he routinely posts moronic things and passes them off as intentional to provoke reactions. those reaction tests often fail.
freez's post reads like it was meant to be a guiding hand like shado had meant in the cancelled turbo. but i think by now, several of us are realizing the futility of convincing haku of anything. he's tried to shake up his style a bit, but still winds up playing the same game. that's why this bothers me - i think if freez was paying a modicum of attention to the games they were reading (or read postgames), they would come to the same conclusion. so that's why, for me, freez's admonishment is more than surface level. maybe not at the level of a wolf team trying to pass notes in broad daylight for now, but it looks funny.Comment

Charu isn't likely to change until much further into the game, Gradiant still with the agressive posting which I townread him for, and Haku hasn't said anything that changed my read in either direction.
Freez is weird, his reason for voting Gradiant is like, objectively bad, but I can't see why a wolf would play like he has so far. I can't read him well right now

Re: TWG CLIX: Form your special exclusive groups now! - Game Thread
So rather than doing a formal roster run, I'll reread through the game and just note what sticks out to me. Picking up from page 10 or so...
Haku uses the "I'm bad" card way too much. I don't even mean that as a scumtell, it's just kind of annoying (and so overused that it essentially becomes alignment-neutral, and in effect meaningless).
On ShadoW: After some basic commentary on the Gradiant-Freezin thing, he actually follows up with reads on Freezin and why they could point to a wolf. I'm not sure I agree, and it's hardly totally exculpatory--pouncing on someone who's made questionable reads is an easy way for a wolf to hide, and funnily enough seems to be almost what he's accusing of--but the post fits together logically for me. He then backs off later. This is somewhat similar to my general approach--I don't usually go heavy until I'm more convinced of something--and it's something that's replicable in either alignment. Overall, though, he sticks his neck out just slightly further than I'd expect from a wolf, so the slightest of town reads from this interaction.
On the other hand, I don't like his followup a little later. The whole "Wolfe" group things seems like it's almost daring WIFOM, which is a bit of a scummy play.
Ironically, Freezin's apparently disliked "explaining feints" is the most townie thing about them, since I can actually see where they're approaching from, and it feels like there's an actual purpose to the activity, not the hiding in plain sight you'd expect from a wolf/sk.
Page 13 is interesting because a lot of people who had said little to nothing so far appear (presumably after waking up/arriving at the beginning of the day/whatever) and then make generic statements that don't even have a shitposting quality to them--which is to say, they're almost deliberately empty and forgettable.
Action picks up more as the day moves along, but a lot of seems to be marching in place type stuff.
Freezin's willingness to challenge Gradiant looks good to me; there's no backing off from the challenge there. I can understand where they're coming from--Gradiant's almost too in control of his style--but overall I don't think he'd be so assured if he were anti-town. Bears watching though.
I find the Xel sort of going after Haku interesting. It's just cantankerous enough that I'd suspect distancing if the wolves had daychat, but they don't; moreover, the white text stuff makes it feel more like needling. I definitely don't think they're both wolves, and if one of them is it's probably Haku, although Xel's later stuff with other people felt overly chummy. (n.b. Theoretically you could have a wolf and an sk here, but that's statistically unlikely).
Basically, Haku's game seems a little more defensive than usual, and I don't like it. Freezin didn't look great early on, but later posting makes the body of work look very town. Gradiant's is consistent enough in his style that he's hard to read, but I lean town. I don't like how many people are hiding in plain sight, although to be fair I end up doing the same thing relatively often. I don't know how well that fits their metas though.Comment

i've actually been really annoyed by this too, and it's hard isoing this game because i know there's 15 people in it, but it's hard to remember who's who and it doesn't feel like 15 people have even been here yet
anyway
