TWG CXXIV: Super Smash Brothers

[TWG Zelda]

Pit is fine to me thus far, you giving him so much shit is a little concerning though. Totally understand pressuring him, you are just going a bit overboard.

Since when is asking someone to elaborate/give me something more or w/e "going overboard"?

Except you weren't asking for something more, you were asking for anything at all.

Pretty much what Charizard is saying. You're being more pushy then necessary imo is all.

But like I said, I agree with WHAT you're doing, just not HOW. Pit wants to be active, and you are helping with that.

I mean I'm still going...

There's a reason why I found YoshL pretty off at the beginning of the game

More votes please

I mean no shit

Over the game though his play became less ??????????

I don't think it's charu either.

either way, it's annoying as fuck. I'd rather not waste a lynch on them though, but they're definitely going to need to die if they keep it up

I dunno, I liked this.

massive dumbtell on ike

so dumb

Would a wolf say this?

megaman stinkss omething rotten

First person to point out Megaman's behavior IIRC

-----------------
Are you guys still talking about me? Cool!

[TWG Ike]

Look, I used the language I did b/c I felt like I didn't have a read off of that post. Maybe that made my type nothing or w/e. Earlier in the game I typed Wolf instead of Fox, I don't think I'm known for my amazing posting formulation. You're making a big deal out of next to nothing.

A typo slip between Wolf and Fox is way different than arguing one thing and then saying you were actually arguing something else. To specifically press for reads because you thought that his previous ones were unsubstantial but then not bringing that up at all and behaving as if they never existed is something that I struggle to believe.

[TWG Fox]

I was thinking it was more of a 'lets put a vote on somebody with almost posts because its easy without checking to see the content of the few posts'

[TWG Fox]

*not a vote, but 'pressuring'

[TWG Fox]

Or was there a vote? Dont recall, think i mightve missed it.

[TWG Ike]

maybe that made me* type "nothing", that is

[TWG Captain Falcon]

We really need a damn consensus already. Do we pick someone out of the active posting pool for doing something pushy or acting odd? Or do we go with inactive players? At this point there's bound to be wolves in both of those groups.

People I'd like to hear from before eod: Kirby, Marth, Rosalina, Pikachu in english ffs, Zelda.

Just gonna throw some general leans out:

Charizard, Link, Fox, Peach get green leans.

All inactives get grey leans.

Villager, Ike, Mega Man and Bowser are my reds. I don't care for how these guys are playing. Serms like each of them is trying to dictate how things should be done. Lynch from my lists, you're dumb for voting ..., shit like that.

Probably won't be very active the next couple of hours, but should make it back well before eod.
Would like to see some cohesive votes by then plz.

But you're doing almost the same thing with this post.


People probably won't care about this, but I suggest you compare my game before and after the Lil B post.

Lil B put me back on the #basedtrack

As you pointed out, there are likely to be candidates from both sections. However, I am more comfortable at this point to place a vote on a person who has amassed a great amount of posts/posted substantially so that in the case it is a "bad" lynch, it is still a "revealing" lynch. This gives us the opportunity to branch out to new leads as opposed to punching someone's lights out before and having nothing to show for it.

btw I've watched a complete playthrough of my premiere game and still have no idea how to roleplay based on it so I'm just going to start posting normally. I apologize.

I see villager bouncing around here firing off green/red/mason bros I don't even know and it's a bit unsettling. I'm resting my vote here and preparing to be told why I'm wrong by Villager himself. lol.

While I see the reasoning behind the Mega Man lynch, I feel people are jumping at this far too quickly. Sure, singling out Mario is very arbitrary, but his continued posting and the support for his own decision felt green to me. Be cautious about who is jumping where for what reason because as I was reading it through the first time myself I was just like, "Okay, but why?"

Why would you call this unsettling? Isn't firing off reads on other players part of the game?

Reads are certainly part of the game! Reads make the world go 'round~ Well thought-out reads which display scrutiny to whom they are directed at.

There just appears to be no discretion at all with ANY of his posts. It's the most whimsical process in the world watching him vacillate between just about everyone. That's what I find unsettling.

Would you say that posting readings indiscriminately is wolf behavior then? I could see that if the reads were contradictory or became forgotten about over time, but Villager seems to be consistent. Link did something similar to Villager, pulling out quotes from across the thread and offering his takes on them, but he confined them all to one post whereas Villager will often turn what could be one or two posts into ten or fifteen. However, I think that shows transparency in his thought process, that he's not afraid to post at the speed of thought.

[TWG Villager]

i see you guys talked about me

im here to hunt wolves and make them regret being one!!!

[TWG Charizard]

I went back and reread the Mega Man thing and I'm not too convinced he contradicted himself. Pikachu and Mario are both blank posting, but Pikachu is still quoting others and placing votes and purposely calling attention to himself whereas Mario is a lurker and has only responded once to something that didn't concern him, and that was to the ultra-inactive Shulk. Mega Man calling out Mario did manage to get a few more shitposts out of him, but after his Mega Man vote (which, unlike Pikachu's votes on inactives, likely arose out of defense of Mega Man's push and the anti-Mega Man sentiment in the thread) he hasn't been heard from since, though I have seen him lurking. I would agree that Pikachu is less suspicious than Mario despite similar behavior, though I wouldn't clear either.

Another thing I found interesting in that conversation was that seven minutes after Mega Man's post Captain Falcon made this post, wedged between Peach and Link giving shit to Mega Man:

Note that there is no reference to Mega Man, no casting of suspicions on his Pikachu vs Mario argument, just this general statement.

Then, an hour after this post (which is after Link, Fox, Yoshi, and Peach for the second time have all casted doubt on Mega Man) Falcon says this:

A few hours later Mega Man makes a retort to the initial batch of suspicions, to which Falcon replies:

No reasoning, no specific passages from Mega Man's post, just a general dislike. This post also comes six minutes after Mega Man's, which is about the same amount of time it took for Falcon to ignore Mega Man the first time around.

I think if you're looking for somebody who hopped onto Mega Man thinking it would be an easy, surefire train, Falcon is likely to be your person.

[TWG Mega Man]

Some good points from Charizard concerning Captain Falcon. I'd like to expand on this bit:

That's not even counting the time he ignored me after I addressed him directly! Immediately after a votecount, Falcon asked:

I thought this defense was weird. Not was the pressure on Sonic deserved, considering he had contributed dick-all since the game started, there were two other players with the same number of votes! So I asked what was up with that:

And... whaddya know! He ignored me!

Still wouldn't mind hearing your answer to this question, Bart Lemming!
