TWG CLXX Anything but Nekopara Game Thread

[DaBackpack]

something important to consider in this game is that wolves have daychat which I think can help us unpack player-player interactions

in this case, I can either see yoshl bussing a partner over completely useless shit early in teh game as
1) a form of distancing, and
2) a way to appear as if he's putting in work even though the subject matter is completely useless and stupid

however it might just be working TOO well and he's afraid of actually throwing his partner under the bus and getting him lynched, so he lets teh situation completely dissipate into thin air by voting an inactive

[DaBackpack]

so I have a few questions for yoshl

1) what is your opinion on sanzath
2) what is your opinion on opkiller
3) what did you learn from your argument with sanzath
4) why would you vote an inactive here

[DaBackpack]

before you say I'm jumping to conclusions and calling me shit for looking for player interactions this early let it be known that I am entertaining alternative hypotheses here

hi

1) i think he's kind of an idiot
2) response to my response to his vote was good, so i'm fine w/ him
3) that by targetting someone that i've not played with and baited into getting angry, we've moved quite nicely out of shitposting phase, although that's not really anything i've learned just now, just something that happens lol
4) because there's no threat of lynch, and it seemed like it rounded out the votecounts pretty nicely tbh

what is your thought on sanzath's alignment

while i agree that looking into player interaction is normal, i'm kinda surprised you're still not drawing the normal parallel between my usual play, although tbh i've been restraining myself from outright calling sanzath stupid.

if you reread almost every single one of these exchanges that i do, i hardly ever talk about whomever's alignment, and again, i'm surprised that you're the one to try and read further into this tbh

I'm aware that you engage in these kinds of arguments regularly --- stuff that doesn't matter to game solving but about reading comprehension, stupidity, etc

but what concerns me is how seemingly easy you dropped it and moved on

ding ding ding!!

i don't have any thoughts about sanzath's alignment. anger felt like he was actually angry, however it's not hard to get angry as either alignment when you've been called low iq, and gotten wrecked over it

stubbornness to acknowledge where he's failed can go either way as well. I'd like to see how both op and sanzath's mindsets evolve over time however, because it doesn't look like sanz is scumreading me, just butthurt atm. will also look into how op develops, because while his response was great, the initial reasons kinda were shit, and if he doesn't really develop anything past that, then maybe stagnating/not attempting to solve the game

I'm not quite sure yet how that "I just got us out of shitposting" makes any sense if he says the actual content of the argument was pmuch anger...

Idk, I could look at his previous games; were they on his main account or some other alt ? Link would be very appreciated.

Other than that, so far I think the probability of both of them (yoshl/sanz) being wolf is pretty low for the reason I mentionned about sanz getting a bit triggered earlier.

100% honest, i'm doing my best to not extend arguments that don't actually give me information, as a play change because i know in the past i've been agressive and ultra tunnely d0. take that as how you will, but sanzath isn't worth arguing with, especially because the whole issue wasn't a case of bad reads, or anything else, just him getting angry that i called his shitposting cringey lol

because the response was level headed, but very conflict-avoidant

op is awful with pressure and his reaction seems pretty normal. this is his third(?) game so he's still getting use to everything and the people that normally play. you're also the most aggressive person that he's played with by far so that probably surprised him

[DaBackpack]

my main concern is p much that yoshl gave up and moved on like he did

yoshl called out sanzath's stubbornness, but he is also very stubborn as well and often times goes over the top with his arguments with people

I'm willing to accept that he got bored or frustrated and realized it wasn't going anywhere but I'll have to see how these relationships developed as a function of time

@opkiller your point about sanz getting triggered I feel is a good one to bring up because it aids in telling us whether the sanz/yoshl interaction was scripted or not
