TWG 194 - Game Thread

Re: TWG 194 - Game Thread

Hey leetic

Is there a reason you ignored both of my questions?

Is there a reason why you've kept your vote on MML and (despite getting support from FFA) have started badgering DaBackpack instead of trying to convince people and build momentum?

Re: TWG 194 - Game Thread

I was gonna wait for Xiz to come back but I'll just elaborate on this now

Xiz is in the low-poster pool obviously, but this post gave me extra reason to suspect him:



namely his hint of the SK

Normally I wouldn't raise an eyebrow about this, the SK might be part of the game, but there are a few red flags here in particular

His response is in terms of "getting information from the game". He asserts that mislynching is better than no-lynching, which is certainly true, even if the mislynch information is from an inactive. But then he says "we ONLY get new information from wolves" which is technically not true because of Power Roles, but ok I can see why you might say that in shorthand. But THEN he tacks on the SK as a source of information which is... not the logical next step there.

It's unnatural to stick the SK there and not, like, any other mention of PRs... even if you were thinking of nightkills, then surely there's the Vigi too. Unless something specific is in your consciousness as you type.

Add on top of this the fact that this is his only substantive post (out of four posts total), and that to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time anybody has mentioned the Serial Killer. Somebody's got Serial Killer on the mind. IMO that is wolf-aligned.

Didn't catch this at the time

Worth having Xiz answer for.

To be precise, the question is about "getting information about player alignment." If you mention lynches and wolf kills, those are usually the default things we would jump to as information sources. But then you add Serial Killer. You can then say "OK Serial Killer gives a night kill too", but then so does Vigilante. It doesn't feel natural to add SK and NOT any other PRs.

Re: TWG 194 - Game Thread

Ok i know i typed Uli
Not sure what word autocorrect was reaching for but considering as much as I've mistyped and warped the feature it doesn't surprise me

I'm stepping away from the game for a few hours. Wanna see Uli push more and wanna see Leetic address the questions and posts aimed at him.

And morw from you Funny

Dont quote people, make jokes and then dip, it wouldnt be nice to talk me into a game and then not give it your all. We gotta have you drop serious insights.

Re: TWG 194 - Game Thread

In general it's really dangerous to reason about other players' states of mind on something like this, which is why I find it important that Xiz come back and have something specific to respond to so that we can directly engage with him

I know he's playing FF14, which is gonna take some time from him, but I'm hoping that any kind of further interaction will at least steer us in the right direction

Re: TWG 194 - Game Thread

maybe it's just how i play twg, but this is way more valuable in terms of solving dbp than it is solving xiz imo

I prefer the pressure-cooker method, it's why I like having my targets in thread as I nail them to the cross

especially in voice chat

you learn a lot about someone's mindset when they're under duress, how they compose themselves, how they respond to ad hoc pressure, etc

rn xel's townie, and so is leetic. y'all are harping on leetic for leetic things. leetic be doing the normal leetic. at worst it's nai but i see a resemblance in play style to the last game we played together, where he was town

dbp's ok. though i could see him wanting to change his game up as a wolf as well as town. i think no one has been satisfied with his recent play style

you're okay but i'm not town reading you for appeals to emotion

haku's doing haku but there ain't a town haku tell yet gotta wait. same with jess. don't town read her for tone. she's good at emulating towniness

xiz is an interesting focal point for discussion. we have all forgotten cold kitten exists.

bolth doesn't sit well with me, not yet. dusk could be town, but i'm not sold yet. i'm gonna have a HARD ASS TIME reading ulli because it looks like she's a reactionary player, which isn't bad, it's just hard to read x.x

reads

shitty early reads
