TWG CLXIV: Classics Man - Game Thread

[Charu]

Xel, I'm a wolf.

[Hakulyte]

Charu is a wolf.
His avatar is a bird.

Xel's avatar is also a bird.
Therefore Xel is a wolf.

A + B = B + A

That is so stupid

You made one post and as far as I can recall it appeared you stayed in the thread for about an hour or more. No follow up, no "I'm leaving since I don't like FF", no additional banner, nothing. You do this every single game and the fact people see you doing this as null because you do it all the time is what's disgusting about it

You're way too defensive for someone who has no votes, Raeko.

another thing I feel you too way too much. Everyone who targets you must be up to something because surely there's nothing wrong with your play!

Except it's happened before so uh yeah?

Once again, this shitty Dabackpack is utr meme ha ha ha fuck you

What's true is true. Charu said it best: He really is that black and white.

Accusing people of going UTR doesn't really accomplish much especially this early in the game. It just makes me repeat the same fucking posts every single game, and encourages people to make lazy reads that aren't based on actual in-game information

"You can pressure people any way you want unless it's something that applies to me"

The fact that this isn't alignment indicative of you is half the problem

Bullshit

You said something everyone took as a dumbtell and then disappeared so no one had anything else to go on. Had people stopped and decided to do something about you not appearing more you would have lost the game.

I also see an excessively defensive raeko who specifically called me wolfish for saying "and mellonxcollie" in response to you saying you wanted to see more of Jade Harley.

Quote me.

Here I'll help you since you seem to be having difficulty

Sorry for being so brief, I'll be AFK for a while but I'll be back this evening

bolding mine

To tell me that I only won my SK game because of ~the grace of other people not noticing me~ and not because of my own play is insulting. The fact that you quoted my post from that post game and tried to play it off like I'm on a high horse in this game is insulting. I don't come into new games and insult other players based on their previous play, so I would appreciate if people would stop doing that to me

I'm sick of having this conversation at the start of every single game. It's hard to scum hunt when you're constantly defending yourself about not making 100 posts. I was out doing something IRL WHICH I POSTED IN THE THREAD. And now I'm here OMG WOW so crazy!!! it's a forum play-by-post game and you don't need to be posting every 30 seconds

If the policy is going to be call Raeko UTR Day 1 regardless of other circumstance, my new policy is going to be not acknowledging these posts at all. You are a BAD PLAYER if you think this is somehow a good strategy and I'm done wasting my time with it

[MixMasterLar]

Read up to the "character breaking post" and have to step away. I'll be back to answer questions. Sorry for being slow I am at work though
First off Unvote becuase if you insta Freezin that'll suck

Why did you ask this question?

Because UFOs enlightened me


It was to get you to talk 15 hours before you did, of course.

I will be active tonight after work. *ollies out*]

Fuck you.

That helps town zilch. That's the dumbest shit you could be doing right now

brb in probably an hour or two. probably 2

[mellonxcollie]

FREEZIN YESSSSSSS

Yes Freezin

I'm so glad someone is roleplaying someone other than themselves. I love that

BUT WHERE ARE YOU

[AragakiAyase]

dbp

the thread has reached the point where I think we can start to figure out if dbp is actually a wolf or not

[Hakulyte]

I disagree, there's a lot of room for using "that roleplay" as a town advantage as well. The only weird part imo is the timing behind it.

[mellonxcollie]

I don't think it's weird at all. I also don't see how it doesn't help town? he signed up with the alt before the roles were rolled so he'd have been roleplaying regardless. If anything I think it might have helped town if nobody knew who he was, because then people could focus on actual in-game content rather than pointless meta

[AragakiAyase]

not really a fan of these pushes on raeko by MML/shado, but I think MML's comes off as more natural, I'm going to go look more closely at how shado went about it

I think raeko said it best: if people keep pinging her so early on not to be "UTR", then it's easy to not be focused on scumreading people

I think raeko's tone has been fine, there's not really content yet but w/e, I'll just wait to see what she produces

he'll probably tell me my expectations are wrong

I wrote an essay recently. I planned to just write the oitline, but ended up doing the whole thing. It was kinda like that; I didnt ecpect my big post to be as big as it was

[DaBackpack]

I'm here now

XelNya feels a little on edge (beginning with AA in mind)

Charu Feels normal

A. Ayase feels a little off tone wise


Proph feels like he needs to posts more

roundbox is pretty serious and that's probably his town trait

Shado likes XIII

Raeko is going UTR again and at this point in life I'm ok with policy lynch

Witch of Certainty is someone I don't know well.

TWG Jade Harley is a tryhard alt

SunFan seems normal

DaBackPack left right when we where in danger of talking about the game. Well that and it's way past a normal person's bedtime. Still, let's see how long it takes him to come back. Posting at the start and disappering through EoD is classic wolf DPB

Hakulyte feels town because he entered the game relaxed and not as a try hard. Starting to try and read shit now but that seems like a town Haku thing.

it was like 4 am duder

This feels like a really stong response to just one post

Whether it's a means that it's something for them to post because video game discussion can look natural is neither here or there.

Though I do suppose there's probably one person in that group that's a wolf that has no problem eating up the chance of useless talk without much effort.

If I had to go innie-minnie-miny-moe... it'd probably be backpack. And not just because there's people now calling him wolf, but because he was avoiding any posts that had to do with TWG.

I think, at most, he mentioned maybe one post about TWG stuff... and that was it. It was also a post I kind of slapped him for too.

You're saying my play is "disgusting" because I popped in the thread to say hi before going to bed?

I seriously try not to get emotional when I play this but IDK I'm really not feeling this anymore guys. I kinda lose my will to play the game a bit when it seems like everyone wants to insult me before I even have a chance to play

[DaBackpack]

what made you think I was avoiding game talk? besides just MML mentioning it, just posts earlier

[DaBackpack]

Very safe is pretty delicious, because there's usually a wolf in that group of folks too. And is likely where all of our important fucks are at. So I say to any of you safe people, I'm calling you out because I'm really hoping I'm wrong in this flash read of mine. Otherwise, it's gonna bite me in the butt later on if I live, and that's just NO GOOOOOOOD

I said this earlier and you slapped me for it

I don't mean to insult you. I don't think managing to pull off a UTR victory is easy, either. It takes mad skill to diffuse people's tensions towards you and stay UTR. I couldn't play that sort of game, I'd get lynched D0 every time. I'm just noting that it is a style of play that you have used successfully on multiple occasions. So successfully, in fact, that I have to remind myself of it every damn game and make an effort to not you slip under my radar. I'm not going to stop calling out people who aren't posting, regardless of who they may be.

I feel as though my reminder this game was the most mellow it could've possibly been. All I said was, "and mellonxcollie", and you blew up for it. That seemed defensive, so I called that out too. Self-righteous indignation at people for noting your past behavior is being on a high-horse, so I said that as well. I don't want you to spend your time responding to me on this, I just want you to post more. Call me a bad player if you want, but I fully intend to stick by what I told Haku in #744, whether or not that makes you personally happy. If your new policy is not acknowledging these posts, then I wholly support you in that, because posts telling a player to post more should never be intended to sidetrack that player onto defending their lack of posts. It's counterproductive. I literally just wanted from you what Haku wanted from Jade, or what anyone wants from anyone who has single-digit posts 16 hours into a phase: "post more".

The phase just started at it was night time over here in North America so it makes sense for some people not to have posted yet. Throwing shade for no reason in shit posting phase could be laying down the tracks for fake suspicions later on. A few people who did this : Shadow, Lar

I didn't like Jade's entrance or the fact that they are using green text. The green text just screams "Trying to make green stick in the back of your head subconsciously"

Nobody in the first few pages particularly stuck out to me

she's roleplaying as the character that's her username (from Homestuck)

Jade Harley the character communicates with that font and color
