Re: TWG Turbo 37: Der Freischütz [GAME THREAD]
very basic early reads:
Lar seems like Lar (what I would expect from his town game)
Haku seems like Haku (what I would expect from their town game)
Bug had the same reaction as I did to the mechanical talk, and I always see that as a good sign
roundbox please make a real post
H&H hello please come back
feeling like I am biased toward town-reading people because I know them, and because I was turned off by the early mechanical talk
so yeah don't really think I will take these reads super seriously but wanted to put something game related out thereComment

Re: TWG Turbo 37: Der Freischütz [GAME THREAD]
I agree with this insofar as having a suggested strategy town develops in thread, but I think letting the blues decide which powers to use is a slightly better version. Basically, I don't want people saying "Hey Freikugel, you should specifically use your ninja ability tonight" because that's obviously foolish.
One thing that's extremely important is that everyone needs to be voting someone at the end of the day. I don't think it'll happen in this thread since I'm assuming people are excited to play TWG, but if you've gotta miss EOD, it's a waste if you don't. Vengeful shooting nobody is a net negative for town.
I agree that Freikugel should shoot someone tonight. The first one is free even if the soul stealer uses their ability today (which you'd have to be pretty damn confident to use that this phase).
I don't know if I have any good reads on anyone in particular, but I don't think Haku's posting is suspect as of yet. I'd say I'm at a happy medium between Haku and leetic's positions.Originally posted by the sun fan

Re: TWG Turbo 37: Der Freischütz [GAME THREAD]
On whether or not the Freikugel should call their shot: I'm gonna do some thinking about that
Points in favor of calling their shot
-It's a claim which helps town with raw PoE
-It directly helps the Soul Stealer by providing them information relevant to the weakness of their role
-You'll still kill someone N2 as wolves murder you to death
Points against
-Getting a N3 shot off would be great assuming we have enough players alive at that point, but is that realistic?
-Wolves guarantee a hit on our KP
Let me do some quick math:
D0: 9: 7 town, 2 wolves. If Vengeful pops off, we're down to 7: 6 town 1 wolf is BEST case, 5 town 2 wolf is WORST case.
BEST CASE N1 with Vengeful gone: We win game as Freikugel shoots the last wolf to death.
BETTER CASE N1 with Vengeful gone: Freikugel kills town instead. We're down to 5: 4 town, 1 wolf.
WORST CASE N1 with Vengeful gone: We're down to 5: 3 town, 2 wolf.
D1: Ends in wolf victory or down to 3-1.
N2: Would lead to potential victory if Freikugel is alive and shoots correctly. If Freikugel hits town, game is over.
Assuming Vengeful stays alive until the end and both KPs pop each night:
D0: 7-1 best case, 6-2 worst case.
N1: Victory best case, 5-1 better case, 4-2 worst case.
D1: Victory best case, 4-1 better case, 3-2 worst case.
N2: Victory best case, 1-2 worst case (LOSE), 2-1 case which makes D2 as final voting.
It seems pretty unlikely we'll hit a third night phase unless wolf JOAT pulls off serious plays.
You know what? After running through these scenarios, I think leetic has a decent point. It seems hard to get that far in the game, and it just might benefit us if we're in a worst case D2 with 3 town dead.
That being said, we'll do the math tomorrow when we have the actual flips.Originally posted by the sun fan

Re: TWG Turbo 37: Der Freischütz [GAME THREAD]
Hyped to see the thread's picked up a bit!!!!!
I feel like MixMasterLar's got the towniest opening by far; just feels incredibly casually towny!!!! Feels like he's got no secret agenda in his back pocket, just putting whatever thoughts he's got rolling around in a town head out there; generally very towny vibes and stuff to ease into the game/get stuff rolling!!!! Also congrats on getting engaged!!!!!!!
While I didn't feel like Haku's posting earlier was as obviously towny as others seem to be picking up, since people are referencing meta there and I didn't feel bad about the posting, I'm comfy putting them in the light towns pile to start with!!
Also not going to lie, bit relieved others have a less-serious reaction to mechanics; while I do enjoy digging into mechanics a bit, I don't enjoy games being only mech-focused; mainly was just there without other stuff to bounce off of!!!!!Comment

Had this game 11 players, I'd be less willing to take the stance of Freikugel claiming tomorrow.Originally posted by the sun fan
