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

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

but I still feel like that Chinese proverb I quoted is accurate here

who two [people] part for more than three days, they should expect to meet a new person when they meet again
or something along those lines

its been a while
so long ago that Ben hasn't played since 2021, he estimates (welcome back nerd btw my post quoting yours was just a shitpost)

Happy to be back :3 And thanks for the clarification.

I was thinking similar thoughts before I came across your post here, so I'm glad it's also on your mind too. It's been so long that it would be difficult for me to precisely remember how people have played previously. However, even if I somehow had perfect memory, people change and adapt over time, so some of those memories could, at worst, lead me astray.

@sunfan

1) when was the last time you played TWG?
2) when was the last time you played TWG on this site?

Last game however recent it was, like a bit less than a month ago
Before that, genuinely no clue, I guess it was that turbo haku was talking about, but that feels like it was 2 years ago

It is very true to say I took all my energy/motivation for twg and put it into scrabble about 2 to 3 years ago

was kind of looking forward to the shitposting feel-good hangout vibes given how long it's been tbh

It's never too late to shitpost 😌

I think I like this (and similar) posts from Raeko. I feel like this kind of line is something that would capture a lot of people's attention, and I feel like it's the kind of attention that a wolf wouldn't want, so I can't imagine a wolf saying something like this.

I just liked the bravado
Like I can imagine that energy of hers just being genuine
It is, by nature, a stupid read (for me)
But I like it

Immediately sussing out this post.

I don't have questions, I just slightly hate it. At least no question where any answer would be satisfying

But I've also been wrong on bugkid literally every single game we've played, so... maybe it's time to look inward.

But before I do that, I think this looks like an extremely forced post to talk about alignment, plus the "I got called out for this before". I don't think either of them play any differently than I've seen before, and bugkid wasn't responding to anyone when making this post. It's just kind of there. They say they've been sussed out for alignment before, but the question here is "why are you doing it right at this particular moment". I would expect they're just putting their immediate thought on the thread, which is fine, but it feels weirdly strategic to do it exactly then

But then again like they said it's d0 and this gut feeling will soon not matter at all, probably, possibly, especially if the post comes across as genuinely trying to be helpful early on in retrospect

It might be hypocritical coming from me, but I really don't like this. Not everyone plays the same way. You have to figure out how bugkid plays instead of how you wish they did.

help xel is
funny? charming???

the fuck is this

I agree with ShadoWolfe on this one; Xel has always been funny and charming, albeit, it's a particular type and style of humor and charm that I have difficulty articulating.

when I said funny charming like that, what I really meant was that I wasn't sure what word to use

idk
it has probably just been too long since I've interacted with him

he definitely has made me laugh before so it is like
beyond unfair for me to have made that post, at least as it looks

It was, and still is, hitting different how he posts
maybe that's actually really bad??? maybe I should be scum reading him, but that feels like a horrific reason to do that so I kinda don't want to

he also reminded me that he is still him not too long ago
so whatever

this is a selfish post of mine so forgive me

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

Holy crap that's a lot of posts I missed

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

sorry xel
you are funny, perhaps even charming at times

I know I've gotten very mad at you before but I think it is in the past

I shouldn't have called you a jerk even though you probably didn't give a shit

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

Am I playing this game wrong or something ?

I think on an individual level, there are a lot of different ways to play twg, none of which are necessarily wrong.

As a collective though, sometimes it takes a particular combination of such ways of playing in order for town to secure a win; and that exact combination isn't always clear a priori. I think trying to adjust your individual play style in order to achieve that combination has its limitations.

I have a headache, got burgermaster coming from Uber eats, and haven't eaten anything all day because I slept for like 11 hours.

Can someone just crystalize what I missed since people are actually in the thread with me when it's late which is rare

Ben is probably town
raeko is maybe town

you find the wolves from there, chief

bugkid has lacked some chutzpah imo

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

I was very wrong on raeko last game, so there is some fear there
but it is mostly overridden by "oh yeahhhhh, this is what that is like" from a few posts of hers

please do not let this post age badly

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

that's why I turned them off. they influenced my perception of the person and therefore my read of them in a way that I knew was silly but was out of my control. there was a game where someone changed their avatar mid-game and I realized that it was affecting my read of them even though avatars have literally nothing to do with alignment, so I shut them off to better read the game without undue influence

I think I'm well below the level of read-obsession required for it to affect me at this point in my life, so I'm turning them back on for the funsies

This is a good point regarding avatars potentially influencing reads. I think at least being aware of this helps to minimize the level of influence.

For me, the avatars help me to distinguish players from one another and to also visualize people's interactions and relationships in my mind, otherwise, with just the usernames, everything can start to feel like a blur.
