Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

Phone can load ffr
Praise be

Anyways I was just in my head
I got in my own head about something yesterday, too
Im alright

I worried I was being annoying with how much I was posting, in short
Thats not really a feeling ive had before, it was strange
I knoe that's not what you said and idk that you would ever say that to me "you're being annoying"

I was just sad suddenly for not a good reason

you're good fam, sorry what I said hurt you even inadvertently

WITH THAT SAID

look at this blatant sappy appeal to emotion post y'all lynch hiiiimmmm (jk don't actually)

Ok I guess for context it might help to know, between page 4 and page 8 I saw project hail Mary (very good) and then I was out dancing for like 4.5 hours so you're getting some real organic exhausted phone posts now and then I'll do a proper reads post in the morning.

I thought this post felt hollow when I first read it, but coming back to it makes me like it more. I think I can see a stream of consciousness here where before it just seemed contrived

@star, how can town be "radically honest" with each other?
also, why would wolves "tell those unfortunate townies who don't already have the answers why they are probably wrong about what they are wrong about" instead of helping them double down on their mistakes, and what makes that in any way different than a regular game?

there are things we normally have to dance around because of the existence of blues. because we have no blues, we COULD basically go extremely off the cuff with everything and be more open about emotions and thoughts than usual.

They can do that too. It is just an example. It does happen in a regular game; that's how I can predict this future. The through line there is to do with morale and the fact that even though we do not have blues, we will have card flips, and we will have many tools in the late game to get back at the wolves even if we do not get out a wolf on day 0 for example, as long as people are actually posting and trying.

I agree about haku but I used to generally be able to get a decent read on him in iso by mid D1 or so, so I'm not rushing that read. and star likes to get down to business, sure, but the abruptness still felt weird in the middle of a conversation about ice cream floats. star used to freeze as wolf and I don't know how that's developed so one developmental path I considered would be the overcompensating by diving in about "game talk" even if there weren't much to dive into

sup!!
was that your first float? surprised you went for sprite. what flavor ice cream did you use? I feel like a sprite float would have to be vanilla or strawberry or something fruity/minty.

nothing really beats a root beer float imo, except for maaaybe a good orange cream soda poured over vanilla ice cream to make a kind of creamsicle float

Ya gotta get up early to get your shitposts in before Haku and I spin our wheels over absolutely nothing happening early D0.
There has been no development because I can't fucking roll wolf Shado!
I thought the game was going to start 24 hours before it actually did so I was a bit bored thinking about that kind of stuff before it started. I don't think I have ever made a post like that on d0, but I stand by it.

star, when you read this I asked you a question earlier and would appreciate your thoughts on it (post #94)

Hi, I don't know you very well so I do not mean to be rude by not answering something, but as I was saying to Ben I think it is better if I explain it again after more has happened so I can refer to a real example?

Firstly I feel guilty because you remember my name and I dont remember yours
Secondly
Im like 90% sure you and I have talked about how people who use real names in lieu of usernames are sometimes trying to curry favor
Im pr3tty sure I said that that idea was ridiculous, but STILL
I thought i remembered you saying it wasnt but God knows I dont remember anything like that with any certainty

I got what you meant and revised my take on the original post when I realized (on proper reading) that you meant the absence of blues and were basically going down a train of thought on that. This setup, Mountainous, was one of my favorites when I used to actually play, and I agree with your take on the benefits vs cons.

The thing I don't agree with is with your take that this:

"Statistically speaking, at some stage, it will look like the town are thinking and talking about all the wrong things. At those times, it will feel like it is a good game to be a wolf in. Wolves will be able to look smart and look like they are helping, by telling those unfortunate townies who don't already have the answers why they are probably wrong about what they are wrong about. With hindsight, with process of elimination, I think the good times can actually come back to haunt them in the end."

is in any way different than a regular game. Wolves can always do that (but are more likely to actually steer town further down the wrong path), and town will always get those posts to look back on and infer information from.

That part seemed like fluff cause it's just a generic description of TWG as a whole, kind of like:

"Mafia is an information game where the informed minority can look helpful by correcting the uninformed majority when they're wrong, but each post that the informed minority makes leaves breadcrumbs that can come back to bite them when more information is available to the majority!"

There has been no development because I can't fucking roll wolf Shado!

ooooof..
how many times have you rolled wolf so far?

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

Don't like this post nope nope nope



I always change mine hehe

This is my wolf hunting avi so watch out

I agree *sussy eyes @ Haku*



Yes but tbh I don't remember her wolf game that much I feel like it's been rare she's been a wolf

I can't really tell how serious you are being here. Do you actually sus Haku?

star / sunfan interactions feel t/t to me. star going extremely hard out the gate feels typical to me but the focus on mechanics could be slightly out of character. could be copium because i've gotten called out for focusing on mechanics d0 before lol

I don't think I talked to him that much, so I'm surprised by this take. I am assuming you will probably explain this more though because this post got a lot of attention.

I know I have posted a lot but I REALLY wanted to post while I was out today and I couldn't so this is all of that

I had something to tell you star but I don't remember what it was

anyways

bugkid kinda sus

I did not like post #81 by BOTCHI (Chromebook corrected this to all caps and I am NOT changing it)
I didn't really know what the heck he was talking about

sven gets +1 town point for not liking bugkid's post that I didn't like, albeit for a different reason

I had another townread, I think it was ben, but I don't remember why

I enjoy Xel's posts, do not mistake my enjoyment for a townread

this is my attempt to throw shit at the wall, I very possibly could be playing just as bad as last game etc etc but I feel GOOD right now for whatever reason (it is probably just the day I have had)

dabackpack
do something townie (unfair request)

are you self conscious about posting too much? I don't think you should be. do you want to talk about that more?

sort of about botchi. I feel like a few different people kind of came at my philosophy post with questions that fall under reading comprehension/clarifying "weirdness" and it is mainly Shado who is going deeper with it. I guess I don't really understand how botchi asking me about the word "created" is a likely train of thought to lead to a read on me I guess?

I do not know what this means, but maybe this is just a shitpost

You're probably mixing me up with somebody else actually? I don't think I normally call you that. It might be because I was talking to tforce about the fire emblem games not that long ago

Re: TWG 210: Vanilla Ice Cream in Sprite [GAME THREAD]

No I dont want to talk about it, star
At least not at this time

I blame things not related to the thread for it, in short

If it wasnt you, it wasnt you

Since that one turbo, none except TWG 200 where sun fam had me replace a guy who already got voted out d0 and was a wolf. He was voted out d0 because like six people had a list at the start of the game of who all the wolves were. Because the TWG game was actually fake and the actual way to win the game was to find the mastermind??

You are saying it is fluff under the assumption that the point of the post was only to analyse why this game is different than normal. That paragraph is there for different reasons than that, which I think I already said one of. The other is just that I wanted to neg the wolf team. Lol
