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

I'm going to make a suggestion and a request. I don't understand why it's conventional here to abbreviate days after the first, but given that we've had TWO recent replacements, and given that it takes me two minutes just to reload the page, I think a 24 hour extension of the day would be appropriate here. I don't know if that's frowned upon, but these feel like unusual circumstances.

This please, I seriously cannot get through the pages right now.

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

OK here is the first part of my reads list. My opinion has shifted slightly, since Backpack had been one of my top scum picks. since he has replaced out I will need to re-evaluate once we hear from psychoangel. Just going to go down the list now

Hakulyte - seems like he may be going for low-hanging fruit by scum reading every low activity player. I think that this post

tl;dr: The posting style change is intentional and I started holding back more and went full-fledged detective mode because I wanted to get heavily town-read to get killed by wolves/SK for being "too" town.

is weird, even if he does say the same thing every game.

The way that this is phrased makes it sound like you are acting, like your "posting style" is kind of the persona you want to give off. It sounds like you are thinking too much about how you come across to other people before you even post, which seems like a wolf-like mindset. Also you should not have to go into "full-fledged detective mode" as a human as that should be your default mode.

I have never played with you before so maybe this is very common for you, but it still seems weird to me, so I am putting you in the maybe pile.

_Zenith_ - I like that he is against voting for the substituted player. This is in the spirit of the game and I like playing with nice people. and also seems like it would be in the best interest of town, since we can gather more information now that we have a new active player.

Zenith has posted quite a few reads, and got caught up to the game quite quickly. most of them have been pretty unique and different ideas about people. he does seem like he has a scum-hunting mindset. Nothing in his posts really jumps out at me as suspicious. He does advocate for lynching an inactive player which could just be an easy wagon. but I don't have too much against Zenith and I would give him a town lean for today.

Shadowolfe - I really don't even know with this one. I definitely need to give him some more thought. I wouldn't put him up for lynch today though because I'm interested to see what happens during the night phase, I do think it's possible that his claim is legit.

danceflashrevo - seems to be reaching for low-hanging fruit with push on me. Only made a post against me when pushed to by Charu, and the post felt overly forced and didn't make a strong argument.

DFR is also fairly low on the activity scale this phase but hasn't really been targeted or mentioned when low activity is brought up. Many posts are short and his posts targeting me feel a bit awkward and forced.

However last phase he posted several unique reads and seemed to have a more scum-hunting mindset. I'm really not sure about DFR. my gut says town, maybe possible SK trying to scum-hunt in the beginning and then lay low?

Charu - hasn't given me a reason not to believe him, and nobody has counter claimed. Town pile

DaBackpack/psychoangel -read my previous post here. Some of my points about a drop off in activity may be void now that he has replaced out. Still, I found Pack's behaviour at EOD to be very strange and it seemed like he was parroting Charu in order to appear active. But I'll be needing to hear from psychoangel before I can form a concrete opinion.

+1 I also support this idea

I'm cool with that +1 day as well, heh.

I have no fucking clue what went on in the last few pages, but I'm not going to be around for eod, my internet is failing, right now i'm posting from a shitty public internet, I'll probably be here for like an hour and a half

Are you going to be able to be here tomorrow?

If I get my internet problem sorted out I'll be here, otherwise I'll keep using this shit internet but I'll probably leave before EoD, because 10pm server is late for me and I don't want to be out at a public place with a laptop then

FOLLOW THE VOTE MOTHERFUCKERS

Hey XelNya,

I don't like you for pushing me while I'm already down.

Hakulyte's first vote of D0 is the definition of OMGUS. It could be argued that Xel was making an advantageous vote, but in no way, shape, or form did Hakulyte frame his response vote into that. It sounded more like "hey dude wtf, I'ma vote u now 2"

Very minor loss of town points.

Oh, wait, just kidding.
He parked this vote on Xelnya FOR THE E N T I R E DAY
This looks incredibly bad, and I imagine a town here would be able to finalize a vote or at least try and make some sort of thinking process. Hakulyte was one of the most prolific posters of D0, yet his only vote comes right before the 24 hour mark of game start.

VERDICT:
very suspicious, friend! based on voting pattern alone: wolf lean

town until CC lol why did you click this

Is roundbox's meta to be more quiet as a wolf? He should def be pressured before EoD.

roundbox

First vote is a probing vote on me. I thought this was funny at first. Since this is just an inactive probe vote, you get no points town or wolf. Great job!

I r mad at u dbp. Not really but please be back. In case I'm not back unvote

Roundbox showing up with some #hotreads

Second vote is an unvote. Eh, alright. All I did was show up and start posting.

HOWEVER

This is DFR's final vote of the day. I went back and looked at jTWG LXXX to see how human dfr acts with votes and he's a bit more mobile with them. dfr was also very visible in the thread and posting during EOD, so it's very puzzling as to why he didn't vote.

I was starting to feel good about you, dfr, but now you've gone and made me

VERDICT: WOLF LEAN

doesn't matter since he's town or the REAL counter-claimer has yet to talk, which seems to not be a real thing

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

First vote of the day actually has some backing to it. Town points. You probably have to go to the post to see what he quoted.

one last thing before I go, Precarious has since fixed what I initially criticized him for when I pressured him, so unvote in case I'm not back in time

however it stands to reason that he could have changed his style purely in response to pressure, and that it was purely a defensive move, but that deserves more rigorous investigation in the future

Second vote is an unvote, based on the fact that his previous suspicion has made adjustments to his posts that were satisfactory. Neutral points.

I'm going to trust charu here

freezin

Sheep vote. Hard to call this one tbh since he was phone posting at a party and this was one of two viable wagons at the time. No points either way because ?_?_?_?_

shadow

This was also a sheep based on the response Charu gave him. *shrug*

VERDICT:
based on votes alone, DaBackpack is at a surprising null. Paired with his activity, it sinks down a little bit.

Oh come on. Here was your "read," prior to "reading" me.



Your "read" was saying two people read town. No reason why--just they are. So terrific. Why?

And here's your post history for the game so far. Other than the embedded quoting my response and the two line quote above, every single post you've made--all 20 of them--have been one line throwaway efforts. And that's also the problem I have with just evaluating activity by post count. You've said nothing today (other than with regard to our little fight here). You tiptoe around Charu (since attacking someone who's effectively confirmed town is dangerous) with brief little posts, then try to call up your history when you're challenged on it. Again, check the link. It's empty. Other than the post I quoted, not a single post before you challenged me even pertains to the game. And your response to me isn't good either--it's aggressive, then tightens up and backs off defensively right at the end, like you're afraid to press the issue now that it's actually been raised. Needling me is fine, but standing on your previous record like you've actually been working is hilarious. And dishonest.

DaBackpack

weak push, as mentioned in my read post on him. negative points

Two basic observations.

Up until this point, the game has largely revolved around four mostly isolated arguments: Gradiant-Freezin, Haku-Xel, DBP-myself, and inD-Shado. There hasn't been much cross-pollination between them, although there have been a couple little things scattered here and there. While I can't speak for FFR, elsewhere I've noticed that there usually only end up being one or two largescale D1 fights. I don't know if that's in any way significant here.

Unvote, by the way.

***



This is the other point, and is worth reiterating (although it's more something to be kept in mind, because acting on it D1 doesn't make a lot of sense).

I'm not sure if he did any backpedaling or more argumentation for his vote since I'm feeling really lazy but this doesn't move him up or down either way

okay just kidding I reread and he didn't really do much backpedaling or responses except for one post condemning dabackpack for his shitpost:content ratio
unvote also weak

botchi246

this vote is OK since it's non-viable
his reasoning could use some muscle (some inactivity, somewhat based on manipulative tone) as I think there are some other more candidates
town-ish points
This is also his FINAL VOTE after rereads

VERDICT: the mildest town taste. Just enough to recognize "it tastes like town", but could feel like "I can't believe it's not butter" to some players

I am honestly doing what I can to work through this game so far.Thank you for thinking I know what I'm doing, cuz that may be a twg first for someone to think that. In reality though, I'm holding on to a roller coaster with two fingers lol I have been told before about this utr thing, but ya know...that's kind of my pattern and it's not really alignment indicative. Still don't like your vote btw.

My strongest scum is shado-, so I'm gonna park there for now

this vote sucks SO HARD because of the timing. This is LESS THAN ONE MINUTE before the stop posting was called. Hello??????? It's a good thing I wasn't scumreading botchi before otherwise I'd be advocating for his head on a platter right now with this gross vote

VERDICT: based on voting pattern alone, WOLF LEAN with a side of SERIOUSLY?

I dun has tem to read freezin

also a fucking GARBAGE vote
I can't believe you roasted so many people with that tower post of yours yet didn't put out a single vote

VERDICT: absolute trash and you look like a wolf kind of person here

read my post you fuck

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

oh, neat, an extension

now all of you BAD VOTERS AND UGLY LOOKING TOWN can make better votes and actually interact

If I had to sort my followthevote suspicions from TOWNIEST to WOLFIEZT, it would look like:

Charu
ShadoWolfe
Precarious

DaBackpack
juckter1 (actually physically sick for inactivity)

dfr
raeko
botchi
Hakulyte
