TWG Turbo 35: A Small Gathering [GAME THREAD]

[_Zenith_]

From my perspective and where I'm at right now:

Mellon (green lean)
Lar (green lean)
Leetic (greenish lean)
Haze (wolf)



Mellon is getting the green lean from me because of the general vibe I'm getting from experience playing with her, and it shows it posts like

And if he is acting wolfy anyways why wouldn't you go for that?

and this was her read on Lar at the time of post, which is very similar to how I've seen Lar so far

I disagree with this post, our seer's opinion on where we should look today has the same weight as XelNya, the other town player that died, concreted by there never being additional info from a seer result and him not surviving to act as a clear. If you're going to operate on this logic, you should really also consider what Xel was doing.

This was a town post to me

I think roundbox was the obvious kill there, otherwise the wolf would be making more work for themself. Even if he was blocked every night, the wolf will have to deal with him in thread and that seems way too powerful for a wolf to just leave someone with if they can kill them instead. They would have had to work around an obvious clear player which is way harder to do than just getting rid of him.

idk but I don't think we can really read much into that kill. I think everybody here can agree that nobody in this game but especially roundbox would not have claimed seer as town, so we all knew he was telling the truth, he was dead no matter who the wolf is



I mean it does make it more convenient when we are not both playing at the same time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But lol no I wouldn't do that. I'd kill him no problem, but there would be a reason!

Lars is more town for me and probably stronger of a town lean than raeko is:

Oh yeah I do remember you. I was Raeko's backup and followed the game. The CFD at the end was crazy but honestly it's her fault for not being more active

❤️ You Raeko


LMFAO ok man invite

This is try-hard for the first phase and what content we have but probably a townie try-hard. Leetic is a newish player IIRC and I think this is them not knowing where to go in the game. A wolf chat would probably soak up idle thoughts like this so it

Also Leetic is my check so like, obviously reading as town

Speaking of which any of the vets thinking that HypoCop is fishy here can go bellyflop on a jellyfish. If you're new and don't know what that means then note I said -if- and keep moving.





"Hey Raeko just like message me when I start getting votes k thx"

Oh God



As a rule this is true
There are some exceptions but generally I never regret voting out the slackers on the early phases



It was a shit post, a funny way to start the phase

I've seen towns, wolves, third party fractions, and co-hosts do it over the years



Had my hopes up
Sorta agree on the Zenith read but don't want to just have you come in only after being voted and only really pushing the one who made the vote, if you feel me

So I want to take note that this is a doubled down effort on a seer claim, which as we know Lars isn't the seer, but doubling down and possibly protecting the seer at such an early point in the game kind of really steers him into he has towns best interests in sight.

I think I'll be honest and state that I feel I can read Xel better in later phases, and voting for him this early just feels like I would only do so to make a point against his subpar play

Which I'm not above doing, like screw dipping out on a phase, but we only get so many games a seasons these days I hate to not play to win

This also may be the most genuine town post in the entire thread

Running through MMLs iso and I haven't seen anything to put here that was worth commenting about in a negative way, I'm pretty good about MML being strong town here.



Leetic is someone I have concerns about, mainly the concern that I might regret putting him into my town circle because he fits in everyone elses and I still have fear that a good wolf could actually be the most active in game and win it, and it has felt stronger because of EoD but not stronger in this phase so far. If I had to claim a read it's probably a PoE town lean.

Isolating Leetic is really a chore, we already know half of his posts are returning questions after someone makes any sort of individual thought so taking that as it is, he's engaged and is top poster. There's nothing glaringly suspicious to latch onto, maybe some takes and thoughts that others have chimed in on already, I just have had this horrible gnawing feeling this game could see a very active wolf and I'm nervous of the reality in which Leetic is it so I'm reserved while also noting that there is credible game solving and effort through Leetic which I can accept and give him that town lean. Really like... SK vibes you know?

At this point in the game, Haze is just an obviously newer player and most the interactions up to this point aren't opinions or takes, it is reactions and questions. I think we're missing something with Haze and I think they're a bit UTR in comparison to the rest of us.

This is such a "huh" post for me, the interactions after are a bit odd. This is post #217, a couple people interacted with it, some of us didn't and it actually drew some iffy vibes from Haze. I think this was the moment where Haze felt like they had attention on them and tried to shrug it off by continually being "lost".

I don't like a VT that isn't confident, and that's what I'm seeing here. Instead of trying to convince roundbox that the vote on me was worthy or even okay to consider, he defeats himself and then stops voting altogether, which thankfully other people came in and commented on why doing that would be a bad idea but this happening doesn't make me feel good about Haze.

Again just very weird





I think I'm comfortable in parking my vote on Haze, perhaps even throughout EoD, though I would listen to anyone's thoughts and other cases here. I think the combination of the being newer, can kind of latch onto someone else for cover rather easily, and a less informed kill on roundbox (this is purely my opinion here, I do not expect any of you to follow me with this logic) here points me more in the direction of seeing Haze's slot go. I also think comparing everyone left, I'm left with a much stronger town vibe within Leetic/Raeko/MML than I do replacing any one of them with Haze. Maybe a better way of putting it is I have less anxiety that I'm getting played here with Haze which is what I'm concerned about and this would be the most influential outcome for me and my thoughts at this time.
