Similarly, I don't like unaccompanied gut reads, because your gut can be wrong, and that assumes you're acting in good faith. I want to see logic, however limited, accompanying reads.

I really don't like this post.

I agree that pure gut reads aren't very helpful *to other players* and that logic should be used in forming opinions.

But this is TWG. When you're a vanilla townie playing TWG, logic can only take you so far because you don't have any facts to back up the logic. All you have is what you *think* you know, AKA what your gut tells you is the most likely scenario.

The only people who can play TWG without their gut are the people who do not need to use it because they already know. aka the wolves

Robotic posts like your's don't actually really help. we can all figure the mechanics out on our own thank you. What helps is saying your personal opinions about things and your reads

actually I don't know if it's petty because I haven't actually read all of it but I'm gonna say it's petty

I agree

I was worried about catching up with the thread today but it was all just bickering. Some of it was extremely hilarious but still.

I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas about the exchanges because they seemed a little... pointless?

Long story short, it all comes down to.

"I don't like your posts, you're scum." -Shadowolfe

And inDheart not really attacking back, more like telling Shadowolfe he's dumb over and over, lmao.

[Charu]

Kind of ironic since Shadowolfe himself got lynched the previous game under that same mentality.

"I don't like your posts, you're scum."

Difference here is it's not actually stupid this time with silly logic and the other person is here to defend themself.

[mellonxcollie]

also I noticed when re-reading the thread

plz everybody quit responding to quotes within quotes. It's really confusing when you're trying to read quickly and can't tell what is part of the original quote (since sometimes people bold parts of the original for emphasis)

[botchi246]

oh my lord, if i see another got damn post wall i am going to spontaneously explode!!! (i just tend to gloss over a lot if the posts are too damn long or the thread becomes long post after long post rip)

im still thinking that this gradiant freeze thing is a town vs. town. Gradiant is doing a sick job of countering freeze and explaining his reasons, which is protown. Freeze, even though i havent played with you before, I like how you are responding to gradiant, your tone is very town although at this point it feels like you both are beating a dead horse.

indheart vs. shado: i think that this could be a town vs. wolf(or sk possibly, who knows). I think that shado is getting some cabin fever with so few people actually active in this game and is lashing out through his posts ( is this true shado?). maybe he is just bored.

i feel like this post is important becuz it brings to light that shado is being pretty rude here to indheart on purpose. i want to side with indheart on that shado is building on a shaky foundation, but its d0 and thats to be expected.

also, again screw you charu, your first long post definitely set the tone and now there are so many dumb long posts. not that the content of the teh posts is dumb (well some XD), but the presence of them.

i do no think haku is a wolf this time around, he doesnt seem to be destroying himself as much as usual, and thats usually protown imo.

i know that there are a lot of names missing from this list, but if your name is not on here, you are null for lack of posts or null for lack of content

Now THIS is kind of concerning.

It's never pointless with the way players have been going at it. You got Freeze vs Gradiant, Backpack vs Pre, Shadowolfe vs inDheart. All of wish are positng gigantic posts with lots of words because they feel they need to yell back hard.

These little "pointless" arguments will be a catalyst for future phases. So don't be saying it is pointless, missy!!

Will point this post you just made is also a long one, BUCKO!!!

Also, not my fault. These players just really want to yell at each other this time around, hee hee hee.

I didn't mean pointless like that!

I meant I didn't understand what the point of the arguments were and it seemed like they were just going in circles.

I do think they will be important for the game. I did read it all and am not just dismissing it that's for sure

yah i know hahaha, do you appreciate the irony?

[inDheart]

well, i hope my post this morning better represented what i wanted to talk about with shado rather than just calling him dumb. he has reasoning which he's stated, i'm just having a really hard time reconciling his reasoning with the way he's been justifying it, if that makes any sense

i'm still having a hard time placing him, though as charu's pointed out, he's done this kind of thing before as town-aligned (if we're talking about the same game)

this made me laugh but i'm starting to agree as i see more of the haku that likes to poke into things

[botchi246]

well im here, if yall wanna ask me a couple questions or w/e. charu wanna come out of the peanut gallery?

[Charu]

It's so comfortable in here though

[botchi246]

i suppose you could say you have immunity for d0. i say you should get wild and go crazy with this thread.

[botchi246]

[inDheart]

i think gradiant is being incredibly town

a little disappointed aryxi hasn't made it back, maybe he got hammered with something irl but it's getting to be a little much if he actually is free

botchi saying he's not a wolf at the start is a bit odd but you can tell he's been reading, and the input he's given seems pure

dbp still looks pretty towny and is falling into his usual sentiments of not wanting to bust his head on confusing posts

prec up to now had been very neutral toned but i don't understand his dbp vote for low content; he hadn't shown much of a wish up to then of being personally investigative even though that's the kind of content he calls for from dbp

i don't think we've gotten a real xel wall yet i'm almost disappointed, but i am thinking well of you right now because i see the usual you here otherwise

juckter is oh man birds. dude hasn't done so much realtime interacting but i think that's mainly because of the timing; otherwise i see him commenting on the difficulty of the game/him being bad quite a bit, plus shitposting. does he tend not to be an active voice?

i like mellon quite a bit for being detail oriented

[danceflashrevo]

i town read aj

[inDheart]

hey botchi, since we have a few inactives so far, i'm wondering: how do you feel about inactivity in general? like, i feel it's somewhat obvious that it's not a great quality to have, but would you see it as enough to e.g. push a lynch on an inactive player, lacking any better candidates?
