TWG CXXXIII: Gotta Lynch 'em All! GAME THREAD ROUND 2 CAUSE YOU ASSES

[Funnygurl555]

Also inclined to believe plop. DBP did just play his normal wolf game this game so if he were any type of wolf it's more likely he's takedown

Plop didn't have to mention this in thread

Phone about to die. Peace

[Funnygurl555]

I hate all of you for thinking that slip was a wolf slip

Post game everyone
post game I'll yell at all of you again for being bad and not being able tell what my playstyle is and peg me as wolf for my inactivity

[roundbox]

My vote is 3other going on Plop or storn depending on how plop's defense is coming up.

[roundbox]

Either. Thanks phone posts.

[roundbox]

That is correct. Will also be launching a case against storn. Will be starting with you first since you're here.

[Vendetta21]

What you didn't consider CK as takedown because her playstyle doesn't openly invite a lynch?? But somehow DBP's playstyle did openly invite a lynch??

[Vendetta21]

We are not lynching JTeh today. Nope.

[Vendetta21]

Is you claim of dap being universally scumread revisionist history or did you genuinely feel that way then?

[Vendetta21]

Is your read on dap's meta play based on researching at the time? Having one experience with that behavior, multiple? Or just the opinion of others?

So you're saying your reads on them are approximately as good as just random guessing. xD 4/6 ~ 2/3 versus the 12/16 we started with. Actually that's even worse x_x

I should probably point out that not everyone who is suspicious of you should immediately be thrown into your red pile, that hinders your ability to see other worlds in the game. If I recall, your reasoning against placing a vote on me as well was "well he's the one who suspects me the most so clearly, him". However, I was one of MANY who suspected you, so you just threw a dart at a bunch of people who all suspected you with *reason* based on what happened during the first lynch.

I'll reiterate what I said to Red earlier that I played a wolf game with Benguina fairly recently and this was his style to a tee. He would be incredibly absent for most of the action, but then jump in when the thread wasn't very active at all and start proliferating tons of towny camouflaged posts. As his partner in that game, I was proud. :') But HERE I'm not having it and I feel this is a strong direction to go this phase.

For me, your reasoning is minimal posting and suspecting you the "hardest" our of a pool of people who were already suspecting you. Anything else?

I don't feel like Funny's *slip* was really something to be serious about, and I'm not sure how many of you are actually being sarcastic about it. She's even stated (and her posting pattern suggests) that she's been detached from the thread.

"Red has been read red" anywas...) by a few people so for this experiments lets say thats 1 woof down. if V is a woof that is 2, but V has been pretty town right now so i'll let it slide. 2 woof votes unavailible. that means that only two woofs are around to vote. one could be on dbp and one elsewhere, or they could both be on CK.

Now this was a perspective that I generally liked thinking more about when I had some extra time. I didn't look at approaching the lynch choice in this manner, but this does resonate fairly well with me. Based on the wagon for dbp from day 1, I also strongly feel there weren't that many wolves on the wagon (if any!) Obvious reasons because that dbp would've nuked any of the wolves that decided to hang on, so realistically, wolves would've hopped on very early if at all. However, there is just no convincing myself that people on the wagon early are even scum for me, so from there, jumping to the inactives, POE points to Reuben once again as a very good choice for a lynch this phase.

This tate wagon is very strange to me, and I'm surprised it has 5 votes. Also, big and probably stupid post coming up.

[roundbox]

I am going to be tracking the WHOLE voting situation for suspicions on both DBP and CK. Huge post incoming.

Most of her posts are shooting the shit and are kind of reminiscent of funny's posts last game. Also, and I know that this isn't alignment indicative necessarily because I do it both in and out of TWG too and I'm gonna get flak for saying it, but going back to elaborate on her point about curry strikes me as scum doing impression management, rereading your analysis to make sure that everything checks out and that nothing could be misconstrued.

Storn is also joking around a lot which makes me think he's scummy too. He gave that analysis post which sunfan said wolves probably wouldn't do, but I'm thinking the opposite: goof around, give a few paragraphs of analysis, then go back to the goofs. It's still early, but for now I'm leaning scum.

Dap is...well, let's see if he posts again before EOD. Sucks if he rolled wolf again, lol

This is Plop's first reads post. His best scum reads are CK and Storn, with a lol at DBP possibly being a wolf again since his wolf meta is to let the thread kill him. I should also mention he was the first to townread me. Selfish, I know, but that's nice. This post shows that his strongest scum read is CK, so his expected behavior would be to stick with CK according to this reads list. Let's see how this plays out.

A vote for CK, but mentions DBP. I guess the list wasn't in possible scum order as you skipped storn? Moving on.

this was seriously the only wolf read you had? feels like a cop-out

everyone else is pretty null but I'd put slight greens on sunfan and curry, slight red on ck

Choof, townread at this point, places his vote on DBP because of a meta-read, but also shares that CK is scummy as well. The wolf read is in reference to the reads list CK just posted.

4 minutes after the vote, without his reads list that he was promising, storn was willing to follow choof with his vote on DBP.

Also, this would be pretty ironic if storn was sheeping choof based on this context.

Because as it stands everybody scum and town alike can go "yeah alright dap let's do that" and get away with it, and all of the posts about him thus far have been justified null or scumreads.

Condensed into one quote, but plop brings up a good point that DBP is an easy jump for targets of all alignments because it's wolf as fuck to do. This is a fair call.

idk

who would you rather see dead today?

Choof questions plop's motives for saying a DBP lynch isn't particularly useful, but instantly shrugs off the possibility of the bus. As V pointed out, a bus wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Originally Posted by storn42

1) list of people who voted on him: woofs are less likely to vote on a woof, but you can always bus.
2) If if he is a woof PR, we will know his role, 1 less woof PR
3) we know the last vote isn't a woof. not applicable if takedown

let me also point out that the woofs probably dont know eachothers roles yet they have to wait until night to talk and unless their given who eachother's roles are they simpley wont know.

if myslinch
1) there will be a few wolves on the vote list. its obvious, but you know, it may help
2) easy to get people to vote for him so a woof might start the chain
3) not much.

either way
1) no sane PR will be the last vote. accidentally losing a pr is really bad, and if there is the possibility of him being the takedown it would be silly to lose a pr to him.

all in all its better if someone can conceivable say he is a woof. if there is enough doubt or we can find a better lynch it would be a good idea.

storn reasons with plop as to why a DBP lynch wouldn't be so bad. Much like choof, he quickly says busing is probably not going to happen (at least it's implied here). PRs are good to hit, but ALL wolf kills are useful. This is strange to me. However, there is a bit of town-ness in the post in regards to how the takedown wolf would operate, but I think this is the first instance of the takedown being brought up in the current vote. I brought up the takedown beforehand, but it was a "whole game" idea as opposed to "this vote right now" idea. Also peculiar.

As of right now, cold kitten or storn. I don't agree with the jub jub or roundbox scumreads but I'd be okay with one of them going too.

Plop still has a commitment to his reads list, and his CK vote. Brings back in storn after being skimmed over earlier. Also, this is an interesting defense. Scum flavored, maybe?

probably

Choof says he might switch his vote.

Plop is open to options, which is somewhat interesting since this sounds like he might waver from his CK lynch, and was also saying that choof doesn't need to be hasty in agreeing with plop on the CK lynch so soon. This feels town-sided to me, but I could be wrong. It's safe to doubt your vote on D0, so this could be a null point.

Originally Posted by storn42

Storn questions sunfan's vote on ben. REALLY wants to see people voting for DBP. Well, until:

Storn talking about the RB wagon. Kind of funny pondering his recent swap.

Choof more or less agreeing with what plop said.

Originally Posted by storn42

Thesunfan - Null - not really got much from him. he hasn't said anything really important other than "this guy is woof" "this guy is town" without explanation. i feel like i should be saying he's a woof but im not sure and he already knows im town so i guess that mean i need to say he's null. (charu does it work like that too or only the other way around)

roundbox - slight slight woof - similar to sun. he hasn't done much besides put in minor inputs and ask for explainations.

Red Blaster - null - he's been around much but hasn't posted anything significant due to IRL stuff. says he'll get serious today. we'll have to wiat.

MrPopadopalis25 - slight town - hey look its the first person on the list to actual have some good imput.

Lightknight924 - WANTED: $100,000 reward for whoever brings him in alive. seriously. where the fuck is he.

storn42 - best woof 2015

Cold Kitten - slight slight woof - CK hasn't really posted much of good information. besides poking things with a stick here and there. im not sure i can say full woof of this, but

DaBackpack - again, another MIA. people say this is his woof game so i'll be more willing to put him as scum than other MIA

Jub3r7 - slight woof - he's said some interesting things so far, such as how his goal is to prove that he's town. he's new to FFR so i wont put him all the way at woof.

reuben_tate - null - WHERE ARE THE POKEMON AVATARS. he's atleast put in his own input

Psychoangel961 - null - MIA

Funnygurl555 - slight woof - FG has avoided putting anything of much use in this thread and is quite busy. this doe seem like normal FG though, so im not sure. haven't played against her woof before.

Jteh - null - MIA

Curry and rice - somewhere between null and slight slight woof - idk where i want to put him, but he's had a few slip ups and he's new to the site so i wont put him far below, but i think he is still scummier than null.

MOTHER EFFING CHARU - slight town - snivies are green, charu is green. i just wanted him as green to say that. he's more of a null since he is a tricky fellow, but he's a snivy. people say his woof game is amazing. so i wont put anything past him

Choof - 100% town - choof is playing the game as quite the town. good job. have a cookie. he's made some good posts and looks like he wants to honestly help the town.

This seems safe as fuck. All of the reads are what the established consensus at the point was, and nothing here stands out as being particularly risky. Nothing here strikes fully independent thought, and this list also comes conveniently on the last day. Not to mention, back to the sheeping point that his evidence on DBP is completely what other people think.

Underlined for storn's hypocrisy as to voting patterns. Psycho's vote was a little more openly following choof.

Originally Posted by storn42

Immediately goes on to say this as well. Following up on choof saying DBP might be an okay lynch after all.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

This bombshell. I already talked about this, but this is a 50/50 for me.

Originally Posted by choof

really good point, what do you think we could gather about wolves based on vote count on the take down wolf?

I posted about this earlier. Not as in detailed as I go into later, but still, come on.

Originally Posted by storn42

woofs will want to vote early on, if they want to bus. the question is do they know what roles their partners are? we will also need to choose who wants to take the blow if he is the TD

Strategy dropping. Also, what the hell is this last line about choosing the blow? Was this also him reacting to a possible scum ping from plop? Either way, this sounds independently scummy as fuck.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

Wolves wouldn't be the insta'ing vote so there'd be more incentive to avoid the wagon or to townread dap the closer that EOD nears. I don't think there'd be more incentive to bus than usual because the tradeoff of a wolf for a random townie, PR or otherwise, doesn't seem to be worth it, especially this early...although maybe if dap is the take down then his partners would assume he's a lost cause and wouldn't care if the tradeoff happens now.

So basically if the wolves are gonna bus then they'd do it when the wagon is gaining momentum and would avoid it near the insta or phase end.

Kind of strange. I don't think anyone that would townread DBP would be accepted as human at this point in the game. Very risky move with the amount of evidence. The "lost cause" bit is also an interesting comment.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

Though I'm probably giving too much credit to rationality and foresight in terms of how wagons form and proliferate in my thinking. A lot of times shit just sorta happens. The only certain is that a wolf wouldn't insta.

This is slightly redeeming as it is a good observation. It is something that storn said earlier, just not very clear in his wording.

Originally Posted by storn42

wrong. if the woofs REALLY want to bus and dpb becomes that lost cause and he ISN'T the takedown. the real TD would know and could insta. IF the TD wants to insta.

Here's the clarity.

Originally Posted by storn42

This is the vote that stays until the very end. This would fall within storns "if wolves want to bus, they will vote early" idea.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

Plop trying to sway a vote over to CK now that he has choof on board. I think storns response is more interesting than this question.

Originally Posted by storn42

Still hearkening on choof's plays at the moment. Safe to be nuzzled gently under the wing of a townread player.

In a moment of self-hypocrisy, I realized I posted my reads list late into the phase as I just earlier criticized storn for. Oops.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

Wagons at this point: CK 3, DBP 2. Confidence about CK vote seems to waver for whatever reason.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

I don't feel good about the current top three wagons being semi or full inactives.

Defense for wolf partners? Actual disappointment with inactives? It might be too early for plop to see DBP's inactivity as being a full scumtell, and is wondering about the CK lynch also due to a meta-read. Still wants either of them dead, however.

Originally Posted by storn42

Choof is the answer he's looking for. Plop made mention of dbp being red, but choof was the instigator. Storn is convinced at this point that DBP is FOR SURE A WOLF, and that CK is definitely NOT A WOLF. This is what I'm getting out of this post. Does storn want to avoid getting blown up by the takedown? This is him committing to his vote for sure.

Originally Posted by MrPopadopalis25

Last post of the phase, leaving his options open. Once again expressing doubts like he did at the beginning of this whole mess, which is strange in my eyes. Although I did mention earlier that D0 doubting might be a null point, this "cold feet" moment is hard for me to put a finger on since it's at the very end.

I'm done with typing now. Where am I at the end of this? Do I find plop more scummy, or do I find storn more scummy? We'll see how either of them react to this for my answer.

I'm not sure if this really goes anywhere, but here, take this look at the voting process from the last day phase.

[roundbox]

I put too much work into that post that discarding it would be a waste of time, so I posted it anyway. I will say that it's not as dumb as me trying to name Red Blaster as a PR openly, though.

[thesunfan]

dear lord we like typing this game

[roundbox]

I forgot to mention at the end of my post that storn also goes on to follow choof's accusation of plop of being mega scummy for the events.

[roundbox]

For the record, the more I think about it, the less I like that post.

[thesunfan]

ben wagon looks gross;
plop wagon just has v who I think is town.
plop had an initial read that I made the Charu kill; don't see the progression to where he changed his mind.
his posts have been good and I don't feel great about what I'm gonna do but
plop

Should that happen, I'd immediately have to start scrutinizing those who have hopped abroad the Benguina wagon with me this phase. My reads on Sunfan, Fg, CK, and Storn would be re-evaluated. To be honest, this wagon, with the exception of maybe storn, feels fairly clean to me. I'd need to probably scrap a few of my leans I've had for most of the game.
