TWG XCV: Nobody messes with the frog, see

[AC1speakerbox]

Every one of Zoshi's posts has been bad. To name a few: putting a quick second vote on yoman -- offering nothing more than a reiteration of my reasoning -- and the post on the previous page allowing himself to be frustrated by Viccica.

danceguy is doing this too, and I'm hoping for something substantial from both of you

Freaky rubs me the wrong way for running back to his 2 pool strategy that I guess didn't work last time and already establishing a pattern of revenge voting. I don't know if this is how he normally plays, and he's just extremely prideful, but I've never known anyone to do that in a game maybe short of Afro.

[AC1speakerbox]

This is all not to say I absolve yoman. Zoshi is just bothering me more.

What I find somewhat curious is James is obviously serious about this game seeing as he is also playing on mafia scum but his activity has dropped off entirely. Currently has 4 posts in thread.

I'm hoping somewhere later we stop playing the activity wheelhouse. I realize I am the one leading the charge, but I've got the sense that the wolves are playing along given the number people marching in step to the beat. TPS behavior is particularly fishy in this regard as his play style has been markedly different this game, as if anticipating how day one would go down. This can be seen in a variety of lights, but it is the sort of thing I feel like watching.

AC1 is another person who is marching to the drum beat but is actually giving momentum mostly to the trend. His total post count is somewhat low and he has almost solely targeted people based on activity after they were already brought to light.

Still I think James' disappearance is pretty bad at this step.

And I think cedolad's vote on jayde when I asked him to give me his opinion of jayde was too serendipitous. It seemed both defensive and also an attempt to give me what he thinks I want.

There was a considerable bandwagon going on him, his entrance into the thread was pretty fishy, and he failed to deliver on his promise. When pushed he gave an incoherent set of statements, and when a suggestion was made for him he pounced on it. Newb wolf material here.

[cedolad]

My vote changing to jayde wasn't an attempt to "give you what you want" or whatever you're calling it. I'm just simply moving around the voting pool.

Also I don't know why you guys keep saying I have made a promise to post about my analysis. Never did I say I would post it. Ever.

Please clarify the suggestion that was made and I pounced on? I'm trying to merit a response from jayde if you're referring to me changing my vote. Also, how can you say my statements were incoherent when you practically put me on the spot. I've had to make every post off the top of my head and I'm just that kind of person to put all of my thoughts into "coherent" words.

As for you V, you're obviously a townie, but calling me a "newb wolf" is quite a statement. If I were a wolf don't you think I would be hopping onto bandwagon's more? I'd be all over Yoman for those responses he gave earlier. As well as James disappearing and Zoshi's shit posting. I've been trying to move my votes around obvious humans so that my vote doesn't necessarily count.

Also I'm trying to hear more of everyone's opinion of everything, and so far I still can't get a solid base.

[cedolad]

I'm not that kind of person* fuck

[AC1speakerbox]

I'm just calling it like I see it, sweetheart

[Vendetta21]

You are trying to merit a response from one of the most active players in the thread who is consistently posting long explanations to everything he (she?) does.

Also you never explicitly stated it but it was heavily implied in two posts in a row, such that others read it in the same fashion when you voted it. Playing semantics as a form of defense isn't a good technique here, either way your initial foray into the thread was symptomatic of wolf behavior in that it was activity for the sake of appearing active.

So you didn't find jayde suspicious, you are just trying to rotate through the thread? And you chose jayde immediately after I asked you your opinion on him?

[Vendetta21]

EBWOP: voted it -> posted it

[cedolad]

Well considering I don't know his/her side as to why he/she defended me then was to quick to vote for me, yeah I would like to see what he/she has to say about it. Curiosity is a virtue that I would like to express.

But you're right, playing semantics is as a terrible defense. And just because I come into a thread lazily and post for sake of showing activity is not immediate wolf behavior. Mind you, the last game I played I vanished and ultimately ruined the game. Don't want to make that a habit.

I think jayde is suspicious but I don't want to pin him/her because I can't. And I chose jayde after I formulated my opinion for you because I hadn't put enough thought into in the first place. You making me rethink what happened/ is happening made me replace my vote.

I understand what you're doing, trying to get into the game more and play efficiently and actively, but trust me. You're barking up the wrong tree.

[AC1speakerbox]

It seems to me like we aren't coming to a consensus very quickly. I'd recommend we set our own day end with enough cushion such that there is no danger we could miss the opportunity to lynch.

I think 36 hours from the official end sounds more than reasonable.

Thoughts?

[cedolad]

36 after? I'm pretty sure that's what you mean right?

[AC1speakerbox]

No, 36 hours before the day is scheduled to end. To avoid a no-lynch.

[Crazyjayde]

I'm trying my best to peruse a bit but this is the only time I've got allocated for now. GF is in the shower, and I'm doing a quick sneak peak. Just want to add that I like the activity going on and that I've got so much going in my head I actually have a headache from thinking about the game (see what I meant danceguy when I said TWG takes a lot of my time?).
Well anyway, I'll be back at my house at 22-23 and I'll be able to talk in depth about my motives and stances. I love the over-analyzing of my V vote though. I don't have much analytic skills but I know a lot about reasoning and from my experience, I find it easier to read people when they're directly suspecting you and thus I like playing the first day by creating a bit of controversity about me and being in a grey area. But like I said, I'm just playing it dumb right now.

Btw, I'm a male.

[Vendetta21]

Nah trust me we will lynch someone. Don't worry. The mob begins foaming at the mouth a few days in.

"If I were a wolf I would ..." indicating that you have actively thought about what wolf behavior should look like in this game. That is strange because you are simultaneously considering your opinion useless and you reads bad, yet you are showing an active train of thought on how you would behave if you were a wolf.

[cedolad]

Hmm. I wonder why. You're smart, I'm sure you can figure out why I'm looking for wolf behavior. I mean, you've hit just about everything else.
