holy shit, is that hugeass screenshot really necessary

[Svaz]

Anyway, here's where I'm at for the time being.

Notes:
(last reads-ish post is back here at #641)

0. Antori is going to be my vote later on.

1. Daikyi
Seems like many are reading into Dai's lowered activity too much, I mean Shadowbringers just came out, I'm assuming that's why DBP subbed out too; this is short term, whereas MMO progression early on is better the sooner you do it (I just personally don't mind the slow routes, this is why I'll never be hardcore re:MMOs) -- he's null for me right now, a little antagonistic in the eyes of a few other players here and dunno whether to lump quality of interactions into reads, but I'm taking it as NAI right now, but of course I'd like to see more if just to assuage suspicion elsewhere and perhaps for friendlier interactions to develop (but maybe this is too optimistic? lol)


2. FG, FFA, WV
I could at the very least see some kind of alliance between FFA and FG, or FG and WV but I really feel like the former is a more personal rather than mechanic alliance, when I was on a team with FFA he was trying to murder the shit out of me 100% of the game so I feel like he'd be less reluctant to ally this directly within the context of a game, idk

I do remember an alliance of opinion on FG and WV in regards to gold stinger, but I think someone else could easily make the same argument for myself and Sunfan in regards to Cocoa; not sure how seriously I should weigh a read like that -- I'd prefer to sit back and let ties emerge one way or the other.

Of note, FG's play here reminds me a lot of FFA's mechanic discussions from last game that were sound but ultimately ignored; could this be a similar strategy here?


3. I'm still getting some suspicious vibes from Shadow_God personally, but I do feel his insights on Antori's character have been decently valuable this phase. This does feel like a bold attempt to curry town favour more than anything beneficial, however.


4. Hakulyte seems a lot less suspicious for outing the gifting ability (and the d0 impotency explanation); it seems pretty townsided/bluey and if there's anyone able to protect, I'd super suggest throwing it down here over anywhere else, unless you're super invested in keeping Innocent Child alive, which seems to be powerless outside of the town confirm (no offense H&H ilu).
I don't think Soundwave- is really suspicious either, for the cooperation. The interactions feel pretty t/t upon review.


5. Xel and funnier I'm not super sure on, but I don't see either as wolfy here. Xel a little irritating personally for that hugeass screenshot, but honestly that's not really outside of his usual memey range, either.


6. storn42 is the next towny for me outside of H&H (of course), probably followed by Not dev.

7. I have a now pretty useless power in regards to Dafty.Pixel; at the beginning of the game I was allowed to pick a player that, upon death, I could transmit their entire role PM to someone else the following night. This seems incredibly useless with full flips on.

8. I guess that leaves thesunfan, roundbox, gold stinger and Gradiant. The last one hasn't posted enough for me to really judge, but I largely read his disdain/displeasure as town. gold stinger is paying attention to the game and a general asset so far, but a lot of it is re: mechanics so I can see why someone would think that's suspect. sunfan I feel like I've agreed a lot with personally, and don't want to be too swayed by that, but other than stuff Cocoa's posted there's not a hard case against him, and I feel like Xiz wouldn't let wolves know they've got a scumbud out there, but this is entirely intuitive, I could easily be wrong here.

9. I don't really know how to feel about roundbox, but I think people are overassigning importance to the Cocoa bus, I don't think he's necessarily Anti-town just for being on that lynch, especially if it's not immediately apparent if it was known by anti-town teams that they had a lost wolf/who they were (I couldn't find anything on wikis expanding the concept, so I suppose this is generally based on supplemental village knowledge).

[Svaz]

By the way, is it rude to ask for vote counts? If we could get one that would be nice please and thank you!

You say "the cocoa bus" as though you know people were bussing?

I believe it was gold stinger who proposed a bus or bus-like theory in the wake of that lynch the following day; that either roundbox or sunfan were wolves bussing their partner, but I disagree with the concept because why add on a clarifier like "lost" to a role if everyone knew who/where they were? I haven't seen "lost wolf" as a mechanic before though, so this is largely hypothetical.

At any rate, it's probably different than say, winter seasonal TWG where I was on Wayward Vagabond and knew he was a wolf.

Not sure what made you say that before Xiz show results.

[Svaz]

By the way, before we even get into it, because I know you haven't given a single fuck about this game, please read my post here, #1443 on why I didn't bother moving my post

Eh, why not? It's not like it's mechanically useful at this point, it's not particularly worth hiding.

[Hakulyte]

Does that mean you already know Dafty's card flip ?

That could have been helpful for the jeopardy.

[Hakulyte]

Well, I gtg work.

zzz

[Hakulyte]

Honestly it's still useful because card flips could switch back to something different.

Sadly, nope. I can only send it after death the following night. It was already pretty useless to begin with, but with cardflips it's like missing an appointment and your phone reminder being set for the next day.

[Not devonin]

Dafty.Pixel

I'd like you to
A) Tell us if anything just happened to you as a result of that vote and what
and
B) Actually post something about anything to actually do with the game. Some reads, some opinions, some suggestions, anything.
