jTWG LXVI: Battle Hydras!

[Vendetta21]

i think they are not very useful this early it's better to focus and push rather than have a large list of things you are vaguely committed to that don't push anyone to do anything

you posted the whole thing and said "i'm not really attached to any of these, i could be wrong" which to me says "BUT LOOK AT HOW MUCH IM PAYING ATTENTION!!" which is the opposite of getting more information it's posturing

someone commented on specifics of your reads list and you were like "meh. i could be swayed" so uhh how did it help you catch wolves

[Vendetta21]

going from this

to voting sunfan for pressure

to acknowledging he is at instalynch

to feeling like the instalynch should have happened is an extreme progression from jrodd for sure. gotta trust my villager read from my partner a little with fresh eyes he saw something wolfy in the pair.

i only think this is bad because i have wolfed jrodd many times and this level of confidence in early game is not what i would have expected from him i usually keep him alive until mid to late game cause he wavers a lot.

jrodd

for the new page this is the more important thing i've brought up and my bias against D1 reads may lead into a curfuffle with sunfan but i don't want anyone to lose sight of jrodd havin' some 'splainin to do

Uh I said it was to get info out? I was the top wagon so my reads are something that will garner a lot of info if I get them out there

[Vendetta21]

yeah mostly it was the part where you have a wolf read and your wolf read questions it and then you said you could be swayed which makes the whole list useless and not as valuable as you pushing someone with about the same amount of effort it took to make the reads list

gettin intense in here

Don't feel intimidated newbies still post. You gotta get used to this type of stuff going on.

[Vendetta21]

im not necessarily saying its wolfy because i reviewed jrodd as a result of your list but i dont think i got anything else out of it really at all and would have preferred if you, the guy who was more adamant about jrodd at the onset, had gone back and looked through his posts trying to find something wolfy instead of trying to placate a crowd who you perceived as willing to lynch you

[thesunfan]

I'd rather not die above everything else but now that that's over I'll reread at some point, I don't need to be told to do that lol

Keep in mind that this was before your most recent posts.

I was not a fan of this particular response:

or at least it should've been to him

Essentially, a continuation of the issue I had in the first place; given that this is a jTWG, it was moreso the potential for a speedy reveal that could have cost the townies, and the fact that you were hammering Charu for it really didn't sit well with me. V being real/fake here didn't change my decision much: if V gets attacked during the night and happens to be real, we get screwed. If V falsely calls and for some reason within that extremely tight window, we get a counter-claim from a new player saying "wait, I'm the seer", even as a godawful mistake, we get screwed. It was highly theoretical and improbable, but someone's gotta start somewhere on d1, no?

Considering that you also said that you were going to let the issue go here, yet bring it up here and here made it seem like you wanted to do a light push on Charu again for seemingly no reason. I'd love for more detail behind your general tone change, though.

With that being said, I'm not as convinced as I was about you being wolfy given your alignment considerations. I'm not quite in agreement with your mention of j-rodd/blindreper being wolfy, but I also appear to be stuck with a belief that j-rodd's "lock-clear" posting is the result of trying to solidify a "too town to be wolf" trap that baits a wolf into attacking such that if j-rodd flips green, they'd be the next target (and hopefully be a wolf).

I'd be interested to see what she and AJ think of each other though.

neutral -- while Kayla seems to be genuinely interested in getting choof to actually play the game, she seems to be the one fishing for information while choof is laying back and doing very little and that concerns me slightly.

[thesunfan]

I thought something and then I didn't, that's really it on Charu. I've been changing my opinion on his alignment throughout the day and that's why I said I would drop it then I didn't.

[thesunfan]

hey ally
what's up?

[Sky Kitten]

cranky. haven't slept yet.

'sup with you

[thesunfan]

playing on DM
you got anything to say?

[thesunfan]

idk that's phrased kinda rude

[Sky Kitten]

lol
no offense taken
but yes, that was quite rude indeed

[thesunfan]

I would still like you to say something if you've got something

[Sky Kitten]

but no, not really

[Sky Kitten]

ninja'ing me!!!!

[Sky Kitten]

Might as well share my thoughts of what's been going on so far before I head out for the day (and get some sleep, lol).

Anyway, I don't have a lot to comment on for a few pairs since they didn't stick out as much as others did, but:

Funnygurl555/TC_Halogen - with Funnygurl555's humour and engagement and AJ's insights, both are a pleasure to see, especially in an intense game like this one. Seem human in nature to me.

psychoangel691 and Vendetta21 are the most intimidating people I've seen so far. For good reason, though. I have to be thankful for Vendetta, as a post of his made me rethink of how to approach this game.

I noticed that a couple of people have not said much in the thread (danceflashrevo and choof come to mind). I would like to see more as the game goes on, so right now I don't see any means to lynch you guys yet. But still, anything's possible. I do have a gut feeling about at least one human pairing.
--
To fellow newbies: I hope you guys decide to post more. I know the game's intense, we feel reluctant to post because we feel intimidated and we don't want to be wrong. It's okay. I feel the same way. It gives us a chance to learn more about the game and how to play the roles. Then hopefully as the game goes on, we'll feel adjusted and feel less scared.

Game's starting to get fun after all.
