They already know who's who, excluding the jerk that comes to infiltrate companies.

Why the heck would they ever be worried about being wrong?

They can be when it's an excuse to say nothing, and thus be wrong about nothing.

Not where I was going with that comment. See my response to Facebook.

Greetings, babes. My internet has been out... for the better majority of the day.

I'm tunneling on Visa for now, because they're the biggest... presence, in my mind.

I don't like this. I don't like the whole Visa aiming... for a meta read in the first place, and this paints you in shades of a similar colour.

I want to... hear more about this please.

I noticed your earlier post calling out their verbosity-to-content ratio, but I disagree there. I think they're using many words to say many things, rather than few. One of the posts you cited is also a general clustering of thoughts that gives several reads. I wouldn't call that a waste.

I wasn't able to get a lot from... the posts, and it did seem like a pseudo effortpost.




#367 is the biggest... red mark in the game for me right now, and considering it's from visa, it really doesn't make me feel good about them.

I'm open... to considering other options for now, though.

I missed some things in writing that, I lost... connection mid-way through writing it, and just copy pasted what I had.

I'll look over the last page to be more up... to date.

Is there something hidden in that post you don't specifically like? I saw visa was mad about the formatting and so... made an edit of the OP in a post.

What's wrong with it?

It's understandable, but that's really where I am at.

Agreement is a powerful tool for consensus building, and I think fearing agreement will not help us.

Also, for the record, I'm focus-grouping the acronyms "Very Villagers" and "Wrobably Wolves".

[Shell]

...I suddenly realize there was an actual reads list there at the bottom.

Wow.

[Shell]

Other than a no info reads lists, there a read there than you don't favor?

Or is it just because of the lack of reasons?

Yeah you're gonna need to give me more... on that.

I don't understand why you're so quick... to write off Alibaba like that, but it does seem I'm an outlier in my perception of them.

It's a case I would have called good enough for a first day, as well, and Toyota hasn't posted themselves out of that hole. They've also raised an issue with Disney but it hasn't seemed to stick. Even with Shell's thread presence, I can't tell where they sit on things, since they seem more inclined to opportunism and seizing posts in the moment.

This is an interesting... thing to point out, and something I didn't consider. Shell wouldn't be top... priority for me either way I think.

Also interesting, I didn't very much... like McDonalds in the first place due to earlier wolf suspicions, and this might confirm what was largely a one-off to me. Let me... think about this more, too.

It was largely... the reads list. I'm not particularly fond of Visa anyways, and that just... pushed me to write the red name down.

its not that hard to have reads on nearly every or every player day 1

yeah there are a lot of inactive players this game so the reads on those players arent always wellinformed but theyre still reads

I think I'll focus on Starbucks' case on Visa as I do this, since I've expressed disagreement but never elaborated.

Starbucks posted that a ping-out post from Visa and a post saying that speculating on the number of wolves was not a dumbtell attempt, as well as some others, belied Visa's supposed inexperience with TWG. (Inexperience may not be the correct word to use.) They cited posts from Visa asking about the mechanics of the game and how many wolves there were.

It's highly connected to who I believe Visa is (and yes, impersonation can happen), but those questions about the game fit them. For the rest, Visa has expressed displeasure at the pace of the game even as people sit in thread and could be contributing. That does not raise an issue for me.

And as said, I believe their reads list is an opportunity to at least generate interactions. Asking about Visa's reads would be more useful than wolf reading them for the existence of the list right now.

There are 19 other people in the game than myself. I'm trying to force myself not to have a huge pile of null reads.

I encourage you to point out what looks like distancing or pocketing to you.

It's wolf behavior to have a full reads list like that on the first day.

Consulting with my advisory board on whether on not to use a gimmick when posting. I am here and aware of the going ons though.

i disagree its not something that lends toward a particular alignment inherently tho intent behind reads list could be read wolfy/towny
