The only problem with FreezinIce is that I'm still waiting for meaningful content that is not "Gradiant vs FreezinIce" oriented.

If in the end there's nothing substantial, well, rip.

WOW, this is a good post. Haku's post is full of small gems like this, jesus. I love it. This is something that, admittedly myself, haven't bothered to think about. That's a very true statement. At the same time though, the two are constantly going at each other so they're minds are more focused on that.

But this is a really good point and post, fucking holy moly.

Aaaand more of the same happens. Do note, for probably the fifth time now, his sudden change in tone?

...Uh oh, here comes dat boy inDheart with a fairly large post. Also again note it took roughly 40 minutes between this and his last post.

So here we see he made up a whole bunch of scenarios of where I could be this or that. It's a very fair post, but I think the way it was presented, coupled with how long it took, I'm reading this post as nothing but a wolf telling the other wolves "hey, I done my homework, Charu is most likely telling the truth."

Biased? Maybe, but I can also see it as a means of town player laying out the law of what I could potentially be since town always has to be weary with shit like this.

But at the moment, it looks more like a wolf trying to find a means to make me look bad first thing, hee hee hee. Also please due note his "SK" scenario. Since SK is one of wolves biggest fears... hee hee hee... Sorry inDheart, but did you roll wolf this game? These early pages are telling me you might be one!

dunno why you mention time, unless you think that's a long time; i don't really have an excuse besides being a slow post writer

[inDheart]

i will agree that my counterclaim post looks dumb though

i think the thought in my head was that the role might've gone to someone who didn't know/think they ought to counterclaim, in which case we'd somehow have to find the real PR, which is lol

clearly i busted my head here

[Charu]

Okay, I just spent my entire shift doing this and I'm fucking wiped the hell out from balancing this with some actual library shit.

I'll do more later (or not).

But reads are still there. I most likely will vote for Freezin regardless. Nothing of substantial has changed except I wouldn't be opposed to lynch Shadowolfe actually.

[ShadoWolfe]

Back. Still planning on being around for another hour or so before I have to leave for work. I'm actually kind of disappointed in Charu for reading me scum, 'cause I thought he'd be the person most able to recognize my town game. Oh well, such is TWG.

I hope hope hope he finishes by an hour from now, though, because I really want to see what he ends up with, here.

Well, I guess the "finishing in about an hour" won't be happening...

[Charu]

Sorry buddy, but it points to you. I'd lynch Freezin over you, but yeah.

[Charu]

If you got some stuff to say to me, you got rough 5 minutes.

why did you just paste edits over your previous reads? did really not that much change?

[Charu]

Clocks ticking, Shadow

[Charu]

Or when does your shift start? I might be able to catch you home still when I get home.

My favorite part is that FreezinIce completely ignored that post.

You're wrong, but yeah. Maybe do a closer inspection of just my posts (ISO) later, if you're off and get a chance. You don't have to share it, but I think you'll like what you see.

There's also a good amount in the remaining 15 pages you haven't addressed, so I'm content with leaving this as it is for now.

I leave my house at 4pm server time, but I should still be able to check in occasionally at work, unless we get swamped. It's Saturday, so swamping is actually likely.

[Hakulyte]

Yeah, there's a lot of inDheart vs ShadoWolfe content that may influence your read quite a bit if you have the courage to sit down and read it.

[Precarious]

Back.

Well, I'm waiting for his response now.

Basically there's a huge need for Precarious vs DBP interaction by the end of this phase.

1. If you want more content from me, I don't know what to tell you. If you can't read me, that's your fault; I've provided an enormous amount of actual material, and I've said how I feel. In fact, that was my last post to you directly.

If you want more interaction between me and DBP, perhaps you should be looking to the person that stopped providing even superficial, unsupported play once I removed my pressure. DBP has been very hesitant to say anything; the only burst of anything resembling gameplay was our argument. Since then, DBP's posts have consisted of a promised response (that never came), an observation that there was squabbling (that they didn't actually read), a statement that they didn't want to read, another statement that they didn't want to read and that it looks like I've been active, a claim that they'll "probably" miss EoD, conveniently excusing them from having to interact (and face scrutiny for their poor play from the rest of the field), and a promise of new reads (again, yet to be seen, and given the approaching EoD, I'm not sure they're coming).

However, there was one post that was sort of a read, even if it falls into the category of "no support" that I've been complaining about. Here it is:

OK CONTENT

Freez is weird, his reason for voting Gradiant is like, objectively bad, but I can't see why a wolf would play like he has so far. I can't read him well right now

He's about as active as me so I can't fault him for that at all. Kinda weird that he's thinking Charu has potential to change. This is probably worth noting, but I don't think it puts him into noose territory just yet. I like that he's bringing forward some original opinions to the table even though he hasn't been the most active. I'd put him at like an olive green, just a mild step above null for this post. Let's look at the rest.

Gradiant vs Freez is a nice interaction that has made Gradiant look really town in my eyes. Freez is way more difficult to read in comparison. While I like that he has been posting really naturally, his tone and his content have varied wildly throughout the entire interaction which makes him really difficult to read in my eyes.

Shado vs inDheart reads like a TvT. I was initially giving town points to Shado for pressing on inDheart who was almost universally town read, as it seems like a risky move for a wolf to take, but Shado is probably ballsy enough to do it as either alignment. Regardless, there was some sound logic on both parts and I feel okay giving both of them townleans.

Precarious vs DBP was utter shit compared to those two previous interactions and I really want to talk more about it.

To summarize what happened, DBP came and gave Precarious a vote because he wanted him to post reads instead of mechanics (#282, #284, #286, #288), and Shadow also places a vote on Precarious, increasing pressure. Later, Precarious says he is working on reads and that he wants to see DBP's, while saying that posting mechanics is his playstyle and implying it's not a good reason to vote him (#365). Then, DBP responds to Precarious' previous post, and again tells him to produce reads (#381). Afterwards, Precarious gives a read post (#388), and then accuses DBP of feigning activity and being empty, and places a vote on him (#398). DBP and Precarious proceed to spar for a little while, until in post 433 DBP says he'll respond to Precarious' previous posts later, which he doesn't after coming back. Precarious comes back earlier today and casually unvotes DBP without giving any reasoning or followup (#601).

I have some stuff that I want to say, but before that I would like to know why Precarious and DBP decided to abandon their fight.

@Precarious: Why did you unvote DBP?
@DBP: Why did you not respond to Precarious' post like you said you would?

Also:



Heh, it was Shado who was talking about Charu being a slip, but his logic can apply to this post too. Why am I in your thoughts dear?

Anyways, I'll start writing up my thoughts regarding the interaction, because they'll probably have some value regardless of what DBP and Precarious say, and because I'm very slow at typing stuff in this game. I apologize for being absent for so long, I was legitimately physically feeling like shit through most of yesterday and today.

probably the juck's best post. I might take the whole "____ vs ____" thing as a nice basis for my upcoming reads. He has a solid drill into Precarious's logic and weird pushes. I wonder what the "sound logic" from the ShadowXinDheart he's referring to, though.

Yeah, the juck is definitely olive green and reminds me of that one time I played turbo with him.


2 townreads so far. HmmMMmm

[inDheart]

well, charu can read without having to commit himself to that format, i'm sure is what he means to do

chill homies

[inDheart]

oh jeez, backpack did say he'd miss eod, i'd only seen his "hot fresh reads" thing

smells like it might be the start of WIL backpack since we haven't seen him today, even if he was going to be here when he woke up

[inDheart]

i'm reading box's posts as he makes them as well and his posting style is basically his avatar, i love it
