I don't even remember why you guys didn't like Visa in the first place.

That ping though. Did it along with Wells Fargo doing it first, but minute apart with minutes before and after both of their posts so i don't think it was a sheeping thing

One of the top 5 posters, they were doing shit. I agree that they were new/returning and weren't at the top of their game, its still sad though.

You don't have to be sad, but I am.

Their early play felt like a bunch of bad attempts at dumbtells, dropping a 'reads' list with no information whatsoever and then bragging that they're getting the game going and refusing to clarify any of their town or scum leans, throwing votes down with no explanation and then sitting on them while looking like they're busy elsewhere by just saying 'i like you, town points'

Though you said it first, just a minute before.

Oh, gotcha.

[Wells Fargo]

7 1/2 hours left.

Lets start putting some meaningful votes down.

If you're not ok killing an inactive vote and give a good reason for it like Starbucks did earlier.

[Wells Fargo]

Yeah ok fuck it

China Mobile

Starbucks case seems fine to me, Starbucks is almost always town, China Mobile hasn't done shit, but the little they've done is scummy.

[Wells Fargo]

Their vote on UPS was destined to move off of them, or at least that's what it feels like.

i think this quote here is a tasty little tidbit

and visa picked up on it pretty quickly, altho i don't know how serious their vote was then, or how they feel now (i skimmed thread)

also, speaking of visa



nice turnaround. i can only assume you were joking at the time of the ups-amazon partnership but in hindsight..



anyway, going back to visa / mcds, i still feel that there's at least 1 wolf in there due to interaction based upon dumbtell and reaction vote to it. it feels easy, but for a second post in the game and 102nd overall, to have a semi-serious vote based upon that seems like mcds is trying for an advantageous lynch
visa, i still don't know what to think of you not knowing the wolf-count, but i digress, not worth looking into today

We get comments on a joke post about ups-amazon, comments on visa not getting the joke either, and then a non-committal comment about a scum in mcdonalds/visa

so that's fargo starbucks toyota and apple and whoever else didn't get added.

reposting list for those who don't want to click back to wherever the votecount is (you're welcome, i did the work for you)

Just repeating stuff several others have said, would've expected a little unique insight after 'working on shit' for a while.

also because they posted a fucking broken image to start the day and that still has more in it than their one post on d0 had

Bitching about inactives is a easy way to try to get town points

now i'm re-reading the current day so far, and something does seem off about their posting style and the only thing close to it is the playing around with fargo's name.

the question is, though: assuming shell got taken over, do we want to end the threat of an acquisitioner now? or direct them towards wolfy targets outside of a lynch?

No mention of Shell posting differently until IBM votes, only then do they bring it up and then almost immediately after place a vote:

After Wells Fargo and Shell discussion, unlikely that people can get on with Shell being acquisitioner, so Microsoft unvotes and then disappears again.

[Shell]

I like you.

That reminds me. hi IBM, still think Shell is acquisitioner?

I kinda don't wanna say too much, but you're one of the hardest people for me to read. I don't think your posts are wolfy basically ever, and its because of how you play the game.

Amazon I suspect is town because of the Amazon-UPS connection others have brought up. Walmart flipped acq., which for all intents and purposes is town on D0. I decided to look into China Mobile.

They have only 10 posts, but those posts are rather dense.

For reference, here is the timeline:



Then:




And then re: Apple:



UPS now has three votes.





This reads to me as somebody who initially wanted to prod a wolf partner into engaging with the thread, and then as EOD approached and UPS was becoming a serious wagon, switched to another wagon to save their partner.

The question is "why not move to Toyota?" but I'll see what your thoughts are

can people comment on how they feel about this post?

Its the best case anyone has made in the game thus far imo.

Not sure about best case in the game, but it does seem to have merit. I'm just not sure about China Mobile moving from UPS to Facebook to 'get off of a partner' because well even though i've gotten disagreement from other players I still don't think Facebook is very towny

This has actually been answered already, albeit indirectly:

Because if they're not a dipshit they're hunting for a wolf target and not an inactive.

(Go to the post to see the quotes I'm responding to.)

For the sake of clarity on phantoms: it'd be neat if you'd have that picture overlap the company's avi with some transparency if you get my drift

You sound like you don't trust 'em, but you prob don't wanna go down that rabbit hole atm. Wells has been playing similar to the first 19 or so pages so they're not AQ'd imho, and they're still sittin' as a ssuper high town.
