Fun fact: botchi246 is the only player who haven't posted today.

[Hakulyte]

I'm probably just going to go sleep and wait tomorrow for taking any decisions. I want to believe they'll come back in time to do something.

[danceflashrevo]

Right so following up on your response, mellon.

I understand that you misread, or poorly worded, and those are forgivable, but what is lacking is your stance on anything. Not a reads list and I think I only got slight reads from about... 2 people perhaps from all of your posting. So if you could share with us how you're feeling on solving the game, any hunches, any change on your read on precarious, any intention to interact more meaningfully, etc

It kinda makes sense, I understand why you place me as null, but I'm not sure how mechanically it's a good thing maybe. But you got something turning in your head so *shrug*. It's good.

I'll do a bit of actual recatching up after I shower and eat some tacos.

[XelNya]

... I read gutsy as gusty

in case that image isn't funny thats why.

One more before I go to shower:

What's going on here

Huh, did you come to the conclusion I came to but haven't said yet? (I think someone else is there too, I'll have to recheck though.)

[XelNya]

Sigh. Can reach ffr from my phone but not my pc.

Fun. Shit.

[XelNya]

Guess i'll ghetto rig a post or post when I get up

[XelNya]

Post written, will post later along with my catch up.

Nice

Anyways, I'm doing isolations at the moment.

I have a gutread that Gradiant was actually fearkilled despite being a solid town read from multiple people.

Hakulyte - WIFOM Wolf or Extremely Detrimental Town

First off dank comment about me being white noise; isolating you is nothing but white noise for a healthy portion of your posts.

Got a bad vibe from this, though this specifically could be used both ways. Actually the three post progression from this quote is awfully strange.

I only had one wolf game so far on FFR and it was with Charu not too long ago. I assumed wolves would talk to each others at the first night to tell their roles etc.

From the reaction I'm getting, looks like I'm wrong?

Love the fact you chose gradiant, the cop, to pick a fight (needless to say you’d lose that fight). Third segment doesn’t need to exist.

I think you should wait until I do more slips like that to make your own opinion of me. I'm going to be around during most of the phase and I'm usually fairly easy to read.

Hate the “as wolf/if I was a wolf” statements and I know you tend to use them frequently enough that it’s a terrible way to show your point or defend yourself.

This game, the exact same thing is happening, except that I'm town here.

Just really tired and retarded.

Ye, just really tired and retarded reading yet another flashback of you being a wolf.

At this point, I feel like I’m dealing with an extreme case of wifom or an extreme case of stupidity.

I'll let you judge that.

People don't feel pressured as much and most of everything I'm doing is backfiring at me.

Basically I need to either reconsider how I'm playing or continue and pray I find a bigger fish than me by the end of EoD.

At least you accept and acknowledge it. That’s nice.

Was it you who said I had cookie-cutter reads? If so, literally fuck you, read your own reads.

At this point I actually refuse to isolate Haku any longer.

In a game-related note before signing off, I'm willing to take Charu off my scumhunting notebook for now. I think it's unlikely for him to do this as wolf, but it's just the sort of crazy gambit he might try as SK.

K, be back later!

Literally afraid of more-than-necessary posts about work/irl.

Originally Posted by ShadoWolfe

Long-term benefits of this as SK are non-existent, because there's 15 of us and 8-9 will be dead by D5 (depending on whether theres a vengeful/vigi kill), so that would narrow the pool too much and draw too much attention. Ugh, idfk.
I'll re-examine later.

I actually read that first post and could’ve pegged you as town for the majority of the game until I read this, ugh.

I literally took your posts as is and quoted them in order. If you don't like them, maybe you shouldn't have made them in the first place?

Please do make an effort to tell me why I'm wrong, though.

Nice nice the bashing is small but funny.

His interactions with Haku are also interesting, with Haku going from:

To


If I believed TWG could be this simple, I'd lynch em both and be done with it, but I've learned that this game is too intense and demanding to simply hand me two scum in a single interaction on D0. Lol, if only.

I think this is the first interaction with gradiant (iunno I skipped a few posts in between) in which falls under a negative tone but still goes forward in productivity. Also the latter of this post is fucking cringe to me.

Feels really odd you targeted these three but not others (like R.E, juckter, botchi, etc).

Originally Posted by ShadoWolfe

Yeah, I had noted the same. It makes me especially wary because he had done the same thing last game and ended up flipping wolf. Filling long post after long post with nothing but Charu is no way to go about hunting scum.

Precarious, where you at, buckaroo?

Why are the majority of your posts coming from quotes off of others and not straight up posting? Latter of this post is ????????

In return, you shall have everything your heart desires!
if you use the power of imagination, like in neverland

Gross. You did it again.

It's human nature to include unrelated things into a conversation if they're one our mind. I could be talking about tacos, but replace the word "taco" with, "car", if I've been having car troubles. I liked the rest of your post, but could you explain your reasoning on the Charu bit? I, for instance, haven't talked to our birdfriend at all, except for making "brief little posts" about his birdiness. How does DaBackpack differ from anyone else in that regard?

1 doesn’t need to exist
2 can exist but half of it ultimately could’ve remained in your head.

QUOTE=ShadoWolfe;4482319]

1. inDheart

Wolfish. I thought he was townie, but an ISO of his posts led me to the realization that aside from early speculation about Charu (including a shitty VT one), and posts about sweaters (birds), and shitposts, his only real posts were various jumps on the freezin wagon, and speculations about Haku's defensiveness. While he normally strikes me as a very independent player, he looks like he's just playing to shitpost until real shit happens react and play off of other people's thoughts. On re-reading, he jumped to the top of my list of suspicious players. I'm not liking his game at all right now.

2. Hakulyte

Townish. Haku always shitposts, with the exception of last game's fuckaround as town. This game seems to have gone back to shitpostiness, except there's enough slips in here to make a banana look bad, including two about how we should "wait until (Haku) does more slips like that". Despite that, though, I'm leaning town on this one based on tone and reactions. Also, lol at his attempt of a readlist ninja.

3. R.E. Aryxi

Null. His two posts have both been about how he can't post, and I'm willing to believe that for now. He apologized for "things not going as well as he had expected".

4. SurelyWolfe

Your Supreme Overlord and Leader, His Exalted Holiness, Saviour of Towns, Destroyer of Wolves, King of all Wolfes, Master of All, Kim Jong-il's reincarnation (let's face it, Jong-un is weaksauce), and ShadoW Ruler of the People's Republic of TWG. Bow down, you heathen scum. Deus Vult.

5. danceflashrevo

Null, lean townish. He needs to post more, but his content in the FIVE posts he did make seemed to lean townish. He said he wasn't caught up, but he did comment on a few of us with what seemed like real thoughts, so that was decent. Not enough info to really come to a conclusion here though, so Null for now.

6. Charu

Town. Somehow managed to get himself the "Wolfe" role we were talking about in deadchat last game. Lynchproof+Bulletproof, only problem is he doesn't have the daychecks that would make him a real OP. I'm officially declaring him Serperior after game ends if he's town, or Servine if he flips wolf. Odds of him being wolf are extremely unlikely though. He has two or three days to get fully confirmed, because PR will be an idiot to not CC by then if he's lying.

7. Gradiant

Townish. Seems to be putting pressure in the right places, for the right things. Finding openings and creating discussion about them. I like to see this playstyle in town, but he has to be careful not to take it too far. A pressure vote is nice until you get emotional or carried away and start tunnelling. His post history verifies this behavior, but I can't help but shake the feeling he's trying to pocket me with all of the defending me against both Freez and Mellon. Either way, I'd say that while he might come off as abrasive to some, that abrasiveness seems to be intentional in order to get reactions, which further verifies my townlean on him.

8. FreezinIce

Null, still making up my mind, leaning wolfish. He seemed okay until he parked a vote on Gradiant for "being aggressive". Seems to not understand the concept of pressure votes (i.e. Gradiant, myself on him), then says that he's voting Gradiant to put pressure on him because nobody else wants to engage him. Unsure, because I haven't played with him before, but his posts also seem kind of hesitant. I've also mentioned this before, but when confronted about his early suspicion of Gradiant, he continued to insist that there was no suspicion, which also makes me see the weird hesitance/flipfloppiness that I often see in wolves. Still waiting on this one, though, could just be bad town I guess. Wish he had more recent games I could reference.

9. DaBackpack

Townish. He came in rather late, which is like his standard wolfmeta, but then started actually posting on-point critiques. Found Gradi/Freez to be TvT, which I agreed with at the time (before Freez started acting even stranger than before) and was mindmelding with him on the Precarious issue as well. I'm leaning town because I totally get where he's coming from (mindmeld) and his thoughts and articulation seems very genuine. Also, bonus points for starting a wagon (Precarious), and providing solid reasoning behind it. I'm liking him for now.

10. Precarious

Null, leaning townish. I thought I liked him, because I didn't think that he'd pull the same robotic meta twice in a row as wolf, but pushing Haku using typical Hakuposts, and the Charu slip made me reconsider. Upon re-reading, I found that, while I normally mindmeld with Precarious' posts (both the mechanic ones and his typical logic), I haven't really felt that way this game, with the exception of one post (#388). I don't like the vote on DBP, either. I had him as "Wolfish", but re-reading has made me feel a lot better in that he's consistent in his stated thoughts, his logic is actually not as bad as I remembered, and that his posts seemed more genuine than I first gave him credit for. That all led to his current null, bud I'd definitely like to hear more from him before EoD.

11. Roundbox

Null. He's like a distant relation that remembers to check in once in a blue moon to send the briefest letters and vanish. At 7 posts, but being up to date, he really needs to step up his game. At least the couple of shit he did say seemed to ring true in my mind, so I'll give him some town points for that.

12. Botchi246

Null. What the fuck ho, you're even worse than roundbox in posts. You've posted four posts total, and all of them have been shit. This is shitty. Step up your game and actually share some shit. You're dangerously close to being beaten out by AA in terms of posts, and he's the fucking moderator.

13. XelNya

Leaning townish. He's posting in the same bullshit style he often does, but his interactions seem genuine and he went out of his way to address a read request that I had abandoned entirely. Not sure of this one, but feeling good.

14. juckter1

Null, leaning wolfish. I liked his towngame last game, and this isn't it. His reads seem alright though, but he said things like "I've read stuff now" and "kay, time to be more active", and then didn't do much. Two reads lists with 3-4 people and hardly any meat to them, then says "I'm too bad to read outside of the people I've mentioned". Talks about ISOing freez and comes back with absolutely nothing, citing his shittiness as a player again. That seemed towny to me at first, because I feel like a wolf would just make some shit up, but then it also tells me he might not have even bothered to ISO anything, which would be wolfish.

15. mellonxcollie

Null, leaning townish. Tone sounds townie, but I haven't played with her before and the one interaction she's really had was about her finding my pressure vote weird. She gets bonus points for retracting a suspicion as soon as she reread, but that could go either way. I'm content with Nulling her for now, but I'd like to see more of her soon.[/quote]

So uhh, wrong, wrong, and wrongish about three of the reads here (just saying this as I’m isolating if they changed just ignore this). Anyone who puts themselves in a reads list (let alone sounds conceited as fuck) deserves a nice noose.

That’s all I really need at this point.

[_Zenith_]

Gradiant would be next but deddo. Being a first nightkill, the only thing I could really search in there is a possible focus he had and if framing could've happened.

[_Zenith_]

Insert deddo inDheart here (nothing should ultimately come out of isolating him)

[_Zenith_]

Insert last deddo Freeze here too (fuck all three deaths were in order for post order lmao)

[_Zenith_]

Oops forgot to say Shadow is leaning town at the moment for me but I'm still a tiny bit skeptical because of some of the more awkward worded posts and other behavioral segments of his posting.

[roundbox]

You all better prepare yourselves for the most exciting follow the vote later

Even without evidence I think DaBackpack and raeko need to step up or get noosed

[roundbox]

Also, Zenith, how would Haku know he was picking a fight with the cop? How can you even fault him for that? Logically it does not follow

[ShadoWolfe]

Zenith what's the third "wrongish" in my first reads list? Know something I don't? As far as I can see, the flips we've got so far would prove two wrong. This looks like a slip, but you have so much other goodness going for you. Care to explain where the third one came from? Because I could certainly see you getting carried away with making a point of the wrongness of my reads and slipping an additional "wrong" in there based on knowledge that you have, but that the rest of us certainly don't...

[_Zenith_]

Well now we know; I don't recall specifying that it was known at that time nor did I try to fault him on that I believe.
