jTWG LXXXIV: 8 New Players and Raeko Game Thread

[gold stinger]

now that is a quality d0 meme

[MarioNintendo]

I'm glad Sanz still posts his walls of texts. I wish I was able to tell if he's just super invested in the game, or trying way too hard to sound smart.

Just to clarify my state of mind yesterday, I don't know if it'll be useful, but I want to be explicit:
* i always shitpost as much as I can on d0. It is, after all, the phase I personally enjoy the most, because everyone's getting along and rainbows are everywhere.
* I hoped that by shitposting a lot it would give an incentive for players to be active. I can't take all credit, but I'm happy some activity happened yesterday (mostly between sanz and GS)
* I voted for dragonmega just to put a bit of pressure and make them talk. I thought this was obvious so I didn't clarify in the post where I voted

Side note, I won 20$ playing poker yesterday

The gods reached out to me while I was toiling over a 12 hour shift and whispered in my ear "Hey Mario voted for you in that thread you havent seen yet"

I've never been more thankful for such a revelation in my life. xP

Wait, this post rubs me the wrong way. It's meant to be a joke, but it's bad. Makes me want to think someone from the game contacted you to make you login. Could be
* The host
* The wolves

I'm probably reading too deep into this, but this is what a bad joke does

the host never contacts players to say "hey you're getting scumread, you should do something about it"

which leaves only the possibility that wolf contacted dragonmega in wolfchat, which would make this the shittiest slip of all time

yeah I think you're reading too much into it

Maybe start by opening up with thoughts on what people have said in the thread so far? Start asking yourself 'why are people voting the way they are, and what is their reasons?' or, 'Has anything that people have said so far not sit right with me?'.

I feel like personal thoughts of what I assume people are thinking/going for d0 are probably just better kept to myself, and after n1 I can actually start analyzing and being open with my thoughts.

I also think Im being too open with what Im thinking during this phase and not shit posting enough whoops. Also just being an over obnoxious furry but HEY

For what it's worth, I think it's never too late to open up if you get some pressure. If you are
* A townie
* That dies on first lynch
* Because they wanted to express themself on d1
Then I think it's a big waste

If I die first day because of cringy posts, so be it whoops. I cant be expected to make educated and intelligent posts this early.

Geez, I turn around and there’s 12 pages. I’ll read this later, I’m busy right now.

here's my take

You're also participating in the game, and you also want people to read you as town and not lynch you, regardless of your actual alignment.

The fact is, wolves have too much information in this game, they already know exactly who's town and who's wolf. So they don't usually get genuine "towny" thoughts during a game, they have to fake these thoughts. That's a lot of effort, so wolves tend to prefer hiding thoughts, or not posting at all. Because giving information to town is what makes wolves lose.

If you're town, it's in town's best interest to share most or all of your thoughts. We can look at them and figure out how genuine they seem. This is especially true in the later phases of the game, once we have mechanical information, we can look back at thoughts and votes in the earlier phases and see what looks like a wolf who has too much information vs what looks like a town who doesn't have enough information.

+1 to this, most helpful post so far.

I give 0 fuck about d0 while d0 is going on, so I don't really have much to say about it. However it does mean something later on.

That being said, if anyone has something to say, unless they NEED to keep it for later, they should definitely say it.
