TWG 202 - GAME THREAD

[lurker]

it is impossible to depend on haku being around to explain by his own admission, he is actually more sus if he comes back

right now i'm leaning towards hateandhatred or haku.

hateandhatred just because he generally has been inactive. I don't prefer to do it, but the only contribution has been "haku sus" so ideally i'd like to hear more from him in the next hour or so.

haku because while I don't necessarily think he is giving me scum vibes, I think for a lot of people they are a big "?" and i'd prefer to resolve that line of thought considering I have no stronger scum leans atm.

freezin has also been fairly quiet but i'm fine giving him a pass since he just subbed in today.

[star-crossed]

I seem to have glossed over quite a few things from today for some reason

I find this surprising because of your explanation of how the whole applicant-Haku debacle from Day 0 played out. Can you explain this?

I suspect the game lore is based off the survey, or is just mindless dribble not worth focus.

In short I think we have one scum team and can treat everything as normal and ignore flavor.

Mostly posting this so it’s just so I can avoid the second guessing stage later.

I see no reason why there would be two teams?? That is not on brand for among us, and I think we can take T-Force at face value that there are two impostors among us. A team of two is normal for 10 player among us, and pretty close to the balance for a normal game of ours, especially with the night start.

Your attitude seems pretty different from Day 0 and I am unsure what to make of it at this point. Even if that is because you think that the game had not actually started then, do you not want closure on anything that you were pursuing at the time?

I never said it was a great strategy, but that would be some wolf motivation

OK, I can kind of see that. And I can see why you think of it as an odd thing to say, but in my mind, it seems on brand for how Haku tends to think about the game and talk about himself. I guess I thought it slightly less likely to make it past the filters of the brain as a wolf though, given that.

I mostly see Haku's play today as somebody short-circuiting because they feel like they have insufficient time and information to act on. I think that that explains the shifts in tone from meme-voting to setup spec focus and such. I guess you can argue he can feel that way as either alignment and be having trouble knowing what to say as a wolf either. I most likely will end up pushing a counterwagon, and we will see what happens.

Someone crystalize what has happened so far so i can snort it thru my eye holes

There is not that much to read in this fortunately, and I would recommend focusing more on the current Day. I thought "Day 0" was pretty quiet. The big hubbub happened on page 2-3 and we also had an awkward day end where nobody really knew who to vote

So you're saying you think T-Force is too lazy to link to when the game actually started?? In that case why label post 227 as the post when the game started??

Hateandhatred I see lurking, so that's cool. I'm ready for a post or two. Haku left with some weird posts and an even weirder vote. them pointing at votes to each other is notable in the event one flips wolf. I think it's a stand-out vote from both of them for different reasons

everyone else is relatively in the middle, in a weird ??? space like Xel (because you have not really done anything notable iirc, and that's not meant in offense, I just don't really remember you pushing for lots of things)

[T-Force]

VOTE COUNT
Hateandhatred: 1 - Hakulyte (280)
Hakulyte: 1 - lurker (290)
-
Yet to vote: roundbox, bugkid666, FreezinIce, Hateandhatred, XelNya, flashflash account, star-crossed

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to insta.

-

There is 1 hour and 35 minutes remaining.

[star-crossed]

Why do you not like bugkid as much?

i just think it's extremely pattern-breaking for this to be the case
it's not a matter of being lazy, it's a matter of, the post is 3 down, fucking scroll to it

If star is a wolf I will eat Wolfe's sock

Sorry I still do not know what point you are trying to make. The only point I am trying to make is that it is mod confirmed that our Day 0 posts were from before the game we are currently playing started, which is a factor in considering how much we should care about Day 0.

Haha this is a little embarrassing for me

[roundbox]

the more I reread the xel vote into hateandhatred vote, the more it looks like performance art given the whole lot of NO EVIDENCE supporting anything regarding Xel

[Hateandhatred]

My lean list for whoever may care

bugkid is pretty solidly town for me right now.
I am slightly leaning on FFA being town, but the post about the relevancy of d0 can look weird depending on what role he is
starcrossed doesn't look perfect, but he's a town lean.
haku looks a little weird, I would say slight town lead just because he's not being defensive much at all, and well, it's haku lol. I definitely think his behavior is strange overall, and he's usually the postcount god. but yeah, irl gets in the way. I think he could change soon in my eyes. His vote on me honestly looks decent.
xelnya looks ok. about as good as I've seen him play town.

this is gorgeous imagery thanks. also you look ok. I hate that we can't compare your behavior with d0 due to circumstances though.

lurker gets a slight scum lean but its about a post away from making me think otherwise.
roundbox I lean town. He and bugkid look like the two trying to solve the game the most.

[Hateandhatred]

Also I've never played or watched among us, so I assume this is mostly flavor.

[Hateandhatred]

I did a bit of comparison between d0 and d1, and honestly I don't find that there's a lot to go for. If anything, the storn suspicion clouds my judgement because I definitely feel like wolves had no idea they were wolves.

[Hateandhatred]

Also I'm not sure who to park a vote on between lurker and haku for this phase, but I'm'a do haku simply for survivability lol

haku

i don't believe this and am happy to get voted for not believing this

I did find that T-Force described the time frame before Night 1 as being "a phase." It just seems to not have been a real Day phase, and it was before the time he declares the game to have started.

I am not saying that I sus you, I am just trying to clarify what seems to be the public information we have.

I'm with you on this one

hateandhatred's reentry was refreshingly more substantial than I thought it was gonna be
I like it

[star-crossed]

I am sorry, but I do not find the way that you are posting today to be natural. hateandhatred

In all seriousness...



I hate to say this, but this is a bit suspicious. It could be an innocent comment, but I find the bolded statement to imply that Haku might be thinking he's not at risk of a night kill, and that his main objective is just to vote someone. I haven't played a whole lot of TWG with or without Haku, but those of you who have more experience playing with him, can you please share if this is normal town behavior for him?

If he is scum, he might have strategically left his vote on Xelnya, maybe thinking that a vote on him generally doesn't look too bad.

I understand that Haku won't be around to defend himself on this, but that could be a lead?

I believe you have played at least four games with him? That is more than I have played with about half of you, for what it is worth.

I think it is possible to interpret it as a slip in mindset like you are questioning it is, but I can understand why he would say it either way. So it is not a bad thing to bring up by any means. Just the way you have brought it up seems really careful and crafted, which throws me off because you seem like you are naturally more casual than that. It is also not how I remember you approaching things the only time I played with you, though that was years ago.

Overall I do not feel great about the read list either. The main part I liked was that you said Haku's vote on you was decent. XD
