Which supports my initial comment of it being a very safe vote for a wolf to make.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still leaning you town more than anything else, I'm just not locking you or any of those other three people in just yet.

we're probably saying the same things then

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

could a wolf be where I named?
yes

do I think so?
no

just looking at the way the wagons formed when taking the timing into account, it looks way more like there's wolves on the back-end of the wagon, rather than the front end

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

To expand upon the meta I've seen in the past in the way Julian was acting specifically nearing eod;

Julian was perfectly ready to back off of Del closing in on eod, and then Del called out Julian for the lazy amount of pressure they were putting on tons of players, and that if they aren't going to follow through, they should either not do it, or possibly be a wolf. And then took that as a threat so they continued pressure.



This is the one biggest example in Julian's post history that shows the flipping back & forth in what they want to do & how they want to exert pressure, but their entire post history coming into eod reeks of exerting pressure for reason to vote someone, and then taking their foot off the gas because of good reasoning or backlash, and then putting their foot on the gas again. When I asked where they were going with this, their arguments for why were just as flimsy.







I called them out, I got pressure put on me, had a good reason, backed off, and then threw shade again when I peace'd from the thread for 30mins. Like wtf what sort of town pulls that shit. This is prime wolf looking for lynch candidate at eod behavior, not town scum hunting/polling the masses for slips, especially with the reasons being so weak.

I made a large, thought-out post. Have at me, sidekick.

chances are you're wrong about who i am. honestly, i've been kicking myself for playing this way because now it's gonna be hard to emulate this natural style when i have to be a wolf.

everything i've said and will continue to say is genuine. my logic and rationale is plain to see. look at my molly and del cases and try to follow my train of thought. they all make sense.

hitting the brakes and pumping the gas comes from a townie who's thinking about things, evaluating them, mulling them over and questioning everything. i'm not locking myself into a certain read then trying to interpret everything i read to suit that conclusion, which is what it feels like you're doing with me.

i'm being as open and transparent with my thought processes as i can be. my confidence in posting that sort of back-and-forth stuff should be a testament to my town alignment. i'm not trying to be squeaky clean, the towniest of towns. the thoughts flow freely because they're all true and coming from the heart. no filter because i have nothing to hide.

I always play with the assumption that wolves are somewhat competent. It almost always looks bad to tag on to the end of a wagon. Doesn't seem like something a wolf would do. Wolves have shown incompetence already so I'm definitely not ruling it out, I just don't think the wagon tells us as much as we wish it did and I think it's just as likely it was a full town wagon.

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

Like, I get that Zucker, because he was both the vanilla wolf and doing fuck all, would be a safe wolf vote, its just that, it really could've gone onto someone else, like Mathilda

if they're also a wolf, the world gets just a bit fuckier

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

it's ballsy sure but given that people are going to look towards low posters for the wolves it is not out of the question to be loud and noticeable for the sake of throwing people off the scent what what

like if they actually are a wolf then their tactic has worked on you completely

trying to slip under the radar/go unnoticed is wolfing 101 so doing the opposite of that could work in someone's favor if they tried it what what

"this person is acting townie, which is how a wolf would wanna act. not a good look!"

get real, cherry!

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

Nevermind I get what youre trying to say. Don't like it though. Self meta reads and all

[TWG Julian]

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

I was there but had no reason to vote with the huge pile on happening.

yes you did. by not voting you denied us information about you

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

maple bringing that up unprompted strikes me as townie behavior

[TWG Julian]

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

Hmm... Normally, I'd make a post of me catching up, but SOMEONE with a majestic horn thinks that's silly. Well, I think you're silly, frankly. Maybe I'll do it anyway, mrmpht.

you scared?

I went back and looked, and they didn't post like
at all at EOD during the last 15 mins or so

they mention that they're fine with where their vote is, but chide people for not knowing when EOD was

feels very strange to couple that with not posting at all during that time

I will agree that it doesn't really feel like a frozen wolf?
but I don't know what to call it

[TWG Phil]

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

maybe I was wrong to drop Julian down so much; he feels quite nice in real time
I'll ISO him later

his avatar might just be too fabulous for me

[TWG Julian]

Re: TWG 193: Animal Crossing [Game Thread]

anyway, i still agree with everyone else about boomer. here's what i said earlier:

oh yeah, i agree on boomer being a wolf (around for eod but was quiet, bare minimum engagement, and interactions with zucker + the vote on del at eod are a bad look) and also mathilda is probably the acquisitioner

also, i feel like at least one of the animals hard-defending me has to be a wolf sensing a potential mislynch and is setting themselves up to look good on my eventual townflip. boomer seems the wolfiest of that bunch

my guess is if they were content with their vote then there wasn't much else to do but sit back and observe and information gather.

actually, who was their vote on again? is it someone they felt strongly enough about that they'd need to push to get them lynched?

but either way, bringing it up unprompted and being honest since it helps others who are asking questions and trying to solve shit strikes me as a pro-town over impression management mindset.
