what a person thinks post-game is says a lot more about them as a player than how they play TWG

I don't really think that, but its sounds cool

I've been voting jrodd since I made my entrance, unless I unvoted or something it should still be on him

[ShadoWolfe]

I don't often alter my reads for things that have happened in the past. If I make the read, it's because I'm already convinced it's correct based on the information I have at the time. That's why my reads always come in later than I plan on, because I'm self-vetting them. I'm willing to change if new information comes, but I'm not about to reread information looking for another needle that I don't see a need for.

[ShadoWolfe]

Lmao just for the record, I never would've done this if you weren't lock clear!

[meno_rocks123]

Alright, trigger pulled. Let's see what door number one opens...

What if you've missed something or misunderstood vital info the first time around? It happens all the time, and that's why I think rereading has been vital to my TWG.

[meno_rocks123]

That's what I have excel for. I spreadsheet this stuff.

--

The dwindling population of the city sentences j-rodd to death, confident they are on the brink of freedom from the grip of chaos. J-rodd's head is shoved to the block, and the executioner snuffs his life in one swift arc of the greatax.

An onlooker lets out a piercing shriek as the blood stops rushing from j-rodd's severed neck. "I'm blind!! I'M BLIND!! I can see naught but-"

"-grey!!"

The war between chaos and order is cruel, ubiquitous, eternal. But tonight, here, the city is a defiant beacon of hope against the darkness - a safe haven from the unholy forces. The innocent sleep peacefully, and order reigns.

[Tokzic]

Or so they believed, but chaos is insidious and looms even now.



It is now Night 4. Night 4 will end at 8pm EST (7pm server). Send all actions and allegiances before then.

[Tokzic]

I will end night phase early if I get all PMs before deadline.

                             III

The city guard swarmed out of their barracks like angry insects as
the news of the Holy Father's assassination crashed into their hive.
Father Frederique had been a charming, good natured old man - 
well-loved by not only his disciples, but the city as a whole. Chaos
agents were generally subtle, unpredictable, and needling with their
strikes to order, but this was brazen. This was an omen of open 
aggression.

Many bridges branched out of Yvir. One was of wood and stone, an old
sturdy connection to the northern mining villages rarely used for 
anything but shipping goods to the capital. It was on this bridge 
that the chaos priest crossed back from the nether, orienting himself 
with a couple short glances to either side before breaking into a 
swift, determined stride.

The bridge was dead quiet. He walked by a few caravans with sleeping 
traders in them, but they grew sparser as he walked further out. 

At the end, a massive figure awaited him.

"Unholy agent!" the templar's voice boomed. His frame was gargantuan, 
even larger with the steel plate that adorned him and his dominant 
stance. He leaned on a crossblade, the consecrated arms of the Holy 
Order's soldiers. "You killed Frederique." It was not a question, yet
he waited for an answer.

It was a long moment before the chaos priest gave it, his voice airy 
and soft as though leaves shuffling against a breeze. "Yes, I killed 
your Father."

The templar heaved the crossblade from the ground and over his 
shoulders, then walked forwards, closing the distance between them as 
he spoke. "You would walk out of Yvir instead of cower in the accursed 
black? You arrogant fool." 

"I have business here."

"You would meet Sin'q, the Black Apostle."

The chaos priest's entire body tensed with horror upon hearing the name.
Their names were unknown to all outside the cult, and yet this self-
righteous goon uttered the name of an Apostle. 

"You will not stop me." In a flash, the priest's arms were in his robe 
and out again, clenching glistening onyx throwing knives. The templar 
moved to block, but the cultist threw them straight down, into his 
shadow.

It was less than a second before a knife came whizzing from the hill 
behind. But this was not the templar's first brush with a netherwalker, 
and he was ready. He dodged left, into the path of the other two knives, 
screaming down from the bridge towers above. The crossblade rose, 
shielding his head from the piercing blurs.

Then he realised the priest was upon him.

He had moved with impossible speed, netherwalking directly opposite to 
the motion of his block. The claws inside his sleeve flashed out, 
puncturing through the finger joints of his gauntlet and splintering his 
fingers as he began an incantation. The templar roared in pain and 
backhanded him away, his hefty arm knocking the priest off balance and 
giving him the opening he needed. He gritted through the excrutiating 
pain it took to keep his mangled hand around the hilt as he seated the 
crossblade deep into the priest's ribs, his spine providing enough 
resistance to halt the blade before it cleaved him clear through.

The templar bellowed with laughter as he loomed over the priest and 
readied a killing blow, but the netherwalker was already beginning to 
fade into the dark ground beneath him. 

"That won't work," mocked the templar. He raised a hand, and glowing 
golden chains burst forth, binding the priest's arms, his legs, 
illuminating the ground, denying his escape.

"The nether is too kind a fate for you. Die here, cultist scum." His 
plated boot rose, trembling with fury, and came down on the priest's 
sternum, soaked in the red bliss of vengeance.

But the first knife had crossed not once, but twice. The onyx razor 
made another pass out of the nether, up from the ground, under his helm, 
pinning his tongue to the roof of his mouth. 

He could taste more than metal and blood, though. It was... sourer than 
anything he had ever eaten, acrid.

The chaos priest bled out where he lay. The holy order's soldier barely 
made it five yards before the paralysis set in, and the toxin finished 
chewing through his life before dawn.


--

Actions are parsing.

[Tokzic]

The sun rises and another light has been snuffed out. Sunfan is dead.

His fleeting essence was...

...green.

It is now Day 4. You have until 11:59pm EST tomorrow (10:59 server) to choose your next lynch.

[Hakulyte]

Alright Town folks, time to sit down with Haku for a moment and read some narrative that you think is not important because I think I solved the game.

Haku looks at the town and starts talking alone as if he loss his mind.

He opens a journal and start writing in it as if his life depended on it.

Everyone is staring at him speechless as if he's gone crazy.

Finally, Haku calms down and leaves the journal for everyone to see and consult.

- I am done with this chaos. This is my answer. I'm going to take a nap. I'll leave the rest to you.

Haku is sitting in a corner, smiling to himself.

- I've never been so glad to be underestimated.

Haku fall asleep peacefully, as if everything was already over.

...

|========== Haku's Journal ===========|

Part 1 - The last few missing pieces of the Puzzle.

Haku has been thinking lately.

- My friends tend to want to murder me when I show effort in a game. I have to make sure I'm right this time before they decide to lynch me for my thoughts. To avoid this, I need to make sense. What can I do..

Haku looks at jrodd's corpse thinking at his last words.

Everything looked grey ?

A spark of brillance hits Haku.

In fact, it hits his brain so hard that a cell moved and all the grey matter started reactivating itself. He doesn't know how long it will last so, he makes sure to hurry and write things up.

Haku reminds suddenly the words from his childhood friends.

- "Stop being bad. How can you be so smart and so stupid at same time?"

Haku takes a moment to stop, to recollect his thoughts about the situation.

- Wait a moment! Xel entered a wendy and ate food. Wolves cannot do this..

- They cannot do this because everyone knows that wendy can only afford 3 wolves at same time in their restaurant.

- If Xel is a wolf, that makes 4 wolves at the wendy..

- I think this is it. I can stop holding back now.

Part 2 - Taking Responsibility for Actions.

Haku finally decides to take a stand after witnessing all the chaos in the city. After long moments of self-introspection, he looks at the sky, in fact he stares right inside the eyeballs of the moon.

- You're weak! You think we can't change our destiny ? I have a little cousin who wears a green tunic that dealt with a moon like you in merely 3 days! I'm not as cool as him, but 4 days should be enough for me. (hopefully)

- You may think it's just more hasty conclusions, but people can learn. People can accept things if they're given the time. The only problem with humanity is that they tend to forget.

- They tend to forget to accept that they don't truly know what's right and wrong. This is why history keep repeating itself, this is why war happen, this is why chaos is part of the cycle of life. They're all part of the truth. They all happen for a reason.

- The reason why Town will win this game is because we didn't forget this time. We didn't forget that we could be wrong.

- I will paint this town white. Haku does mean white after all. I know I'm radiating with darkness and distrust when I look at my allies because I keep judging them, but this is reality.

- Well, I guess they kind of already know, but let's make it clear.

- Hear my OP. Let's unite together and finish this! (I've beat this game 2 days ago for the first time)

Lyrics: (Easter Egg)

Dwelling in the silence, fading into white
Life so psychedelic, living a dream, we’ve nothing to fear
I’ve disowned the darkness, and that deadly dance
I’ve had enough – but can’t wake up

PLEASE ONE LAST CHANCE

I WANNA BE WHITE, WHITE NOW

I don’t wanna lose my voice
I don’t wanna fade away
So they can see the truth, aim to repaint these days
Take aim, and hit the mark – that white, hypnotic spark
Now’s the time to rise one,

I WANNA BE THE WHITE, WHITE LIGHT

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA


Feel it under your flesh, programed in your blood
One day we will devour, all of the pain and bitter remorse
Our chains of dependence sow themselves in deep
We gotta help each other
GO, LOVE TO LOVE
I BELIEVE IN WHITE, WHITE NOW

I don’t wanna lose my way
I don’t wanna walk that line
Always giving in too soon, breaking down when you could shine
Return to white once more – Return and be restored
Now’s the time to rise one,
I WANNA BE THE WHITE, WHITE LIGHT

NA NA NA NA NA

No one knows right from wrong
No one knows dark from light
Add a layer more of paint; until the world’s set right
Go on, with all your might – But none can taint this white
It’ll stay forever pure

I WANNA BE A WHITE, WHITE LIGHT

NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA

...

Inspiration comes from an unknown poster who chanted lyrics of La Vie Boheme - Rent.
We will remember your sacrifice.

ps: Waifus are serious business, but that's why I believe you.

Part 3 - My Final World.

- Here's the truth I found. That I believe in.

1. Xel was the vigi.

- He didn't kill someone n0 because he was afraid to hit a town.
- He didn't defend himself because he knew he would flip red.
- He probably expected a Xiz lynch D0 and knew that if he made himself appear wolfy, people would be confused by his flip.

Note: People still got confused by his flip anyway. He's finally cleared because the game didn't end after jrodd's flip.

2. jrodd is the Freeze Wolf.

- jrodd dropped seer cover. Him being the Wise Seer is incompatible with the game.
- jrodd didn't claim adept guardian during the mass claim. It makes no sense that he doesn't do so because it would have confirmed inDheart as either Town or Wolf.
- inDheart doesn't have a peek. He cannot be the Wise Seer.

This conclude that inDheart is Adept Guardian and jrodd Freeze Wolf
To further this logic, as meno said, Greenmaster and Wise Seer feels like a redundancy and it's highly unprobable that we can have both in the same setup as well.

3. Hakulyte (yes, we're talking about me here) is the reason why AragakiAyase got killed.

- My Day 3 Adversary happened to be AragakiAyase. It was a terrible choice, but it happened.
- A wolf must have targeted me because they still had 2 wolves alive.
- I thought 2 wolves were dead and I was wrong.
- I believe I got targeted by a wolf. Wolves cannot target other wolves. This should clear me again.

4. The real last Wolf, ShadoWolfe (?)

Who could have known I had AA as Adversary yesterday besides me? ShadoWolfe.
Who could have known the game wouldn't end yesterday even if jrodd died ? ShadoWolfe.
Who looked kind of weak at the beginning of day 3, but shrugged things off ? ShadoWolfe.
Why did ShadoWolfe didn't mind getting lynched first yesterday?

..because he's most likely the Master Wolf.

What did ShadoWolfe probably didn't expect?

That we would lynch jrodd and get the information that breaks every worlds. That his flip is grey.

This is why jrodd's flip was so important.

My Final World:

1. j-rodd Freeze Wolf
2. inDheart Adept Guardian
3. thesunfan Vanilla Town
4. Raeko Vanilla Town
5. Meno Vanilla Town
6. ShadoWolfe Master Wolf
7. Vendetta21 Greenmaster
8. AragakiAyase Vanilla Town
9. XelNya Vigi
10. Hakulyte Vanilla Town
11. R.E. Aryxi (replacement for Xiz) Janitor Wolf

As for the outside the circle, I think it's clear I think jrodd is townest. I hope everyone else votes soon.

I was going to come in here with "chaos wolf confirmed, fuck you shado," but you're making a lot of sense, Haku.

Shado, assuming Haku is right (and I'm inclined to believe it), one thing I really don't like about you is that you're awfully wrong at every point.

[Hakulyte]

I may flip a table if my post is wrong tbh.

[Hakulyte]

ShadoWolfe

[meno_rocks123]

It's okay, Haku. Both of our tinfoil hat theories paint shado as the last wolf.
