lewdy is looking a little better now, so I think I might switch to jub3r7 again

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Okay it was just my brain interpreting something differently

I think I'm okay with WV as it stands for today

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

Roundbox imma need you to convince me that Manti isn't worth voting
Sell him to me

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I would like to know as well. Don't hate 'em, but he was certainly aggressive with his post about the no lynch topic along with the MML vote.

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I guess I'll toss some random thoughts out here:

I actually don't like MML and here's the reason:
Charu posts this:

Another thought popped in my head as I thought about game mechanics again.

Would it actually be more effective to nolynch this phase? Those 5 players wolves have can't get night killed after all...

...

Naaaaaaah, I'm overthinking it.

MML follows up with it shortly after with this saying he's interested in exploring the No Lynch option.

Bumped the list button before responding to Charu


I am interested in exploring this option since it's super likely the three wolves are going to want to try and lunch one of the 5 today, meaning a higher chance they hit a Marlin and in the late game we're probably gonna need their checks

Following up on this thought, what is the mechanical reasons NOT to no lynch here? If it's just because "Your Vote is Your Power" then I think in this scenario it can be on the table. I get that it technically puts scum ahead, but it might be worth it if it saves us from lynching a Marlin.

At the very least if it comes down to us CFDing at EOD I am I favor of defaulting to it

Roundbox pushes back kinda strongly:

NL is awful
our only way to kill the wolves and win is to vote for things
going the NL route means we throw away one of our chances for killing a wolf

while we're on this topic, there should be no discussion on whether to claim merlin or VT, or any discussion about merlins. this, again, is only beneficial to the wolves. as town, I feel the optimal play here is to say we are all merlins.

and MML immediately splits the difference instead of engaging roundbox on the issue. Giving the exact reasons why No lynch is a bad option (wagonomics and lynching is our only way to kill wolves).

For any other game this is 100% fact and isn't debatable
The idea is here wolves can only kill 3 NON-Marlin players tonight so if a Merlin dies it has to be a mislynch. The question is now do we risk mislynching a Merlin (assuming we don't "catch" a wolf) or do we let wolves get ahead on us one kill in exchange for making sure all 3 survive.

Now, not having wagonamics might make it totally not worth it again. Plus, you're correct that we're going to have to lunch to win eventually anyway.

I don't buy that MML thought no lynch was a good idea and 180'd as soon as he got flak for it. Feels disingenuous.

Kind of looked opportunistic I suppose.

Do you mind sharing what it was?

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

In other random thoughts:

Old Meta on Freezin from my ancient TWG player notes says "Tends to disappear day 1 as a wolf and starts becoming active D2-3 usually before UTR players start getting pressured". Seeing similar characteristics this game.



Mellon and I are never on the same page so her not liking my MML vote came as 0 surprise.


I like roundbox because he can think and he's pretty much a never lynch for me D1 unless he slips up hard.
I like Bug kid for no overarching reason but his posts feel rather natural and flow well.
I like WV because we've been generally of the same mindset.


Indifferent on Juber Charu SG and FFA

Let me get back to this in JUST a quick second, Rae. I forgot about Jubert in my reads list and I'm updating that right now.

Re: TWG 203 Werewolves in Avalon GAME THREAD

I....Don't hate an FFA vote just because for me, reading him is like shaking a magic 8 ball, and every result says "Go Fuck Yourself" or "Try Again Later".

I wouldn't lynch Lar/Bug today...

I think I like my vote on WV a bit less than I did earlier, but if he does this again next phase I'd be leaning towards him again...

Freezin is good with me, I liked how he dropped off the kid gloves early on and got us all talking....But he did go UTR with FFA as a wolf last game and just watched town collapse, so I'm a little weary about that.... but will give a pass because he's sick for today.

I can't read Manti at all, as this is the first time I've ever played with the man, so I can't give a good opinion on how I feel about him

Roundbox being blunt and saying "I don't have to comment on every little thing" is iight

Charu is a birb and I'm okay with him for now, he's doing things that I like (Calling out WV for an explanation)

I thought your entry was a little weird, but you've ironed out the wrinkles for me a bit....

I forgot Jubbilybubbly in my reads list here.

He was the catalyst behind us talking about the Merlins. In fact, he was the first to mention anything about Merlins (I did just go back and check as of 21:44)

I'm not sure what possessed him to do that, but I came into this game under the pretense that we would just never speak of them to give the wolves a harder time...That's a bit weird to me...Plus the weird vote on WV using this reasoning:

I voted Wayward Vagabond because of his posts with the mosts. I apologize for the underscore earlier

Then this:

Yeah, back up the pocketing with a sheep vote at least

I don't know what this means at all, and it's confusing to me.


TL;DR: Juber is really hard to understand for me and sits in the weird territory
