I'm sleep. I'm definitely not gonna be in EoD unfortunately. I'll read everything when I get home again. This is the last post for me this phase!

Shadow you're typing words on a forum game, you can definitely explain your thought process and where you are. You keep posting about how you're trying to solve the game without making it known and it comes off as disingenuous and fake.

What are your gut reads on those people? What posts made alarms go off? Post literally anything other than "I can't word guiyz D:"

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

Also I like the interaction between haku and sw

Probably the push I needed.

FFA has seemed off to me based on how he's played the entire phase and Funnygirl. She started okay at first but then the alarm bells went off within the last 18 hours of play. If I were to decide between the two I would probably lean towards FFA unless I see something completely different from what I saw in TWG 186 when i spectated that one and had him as wolf from d2 onwards (keep in mind that was my first spectate from start to finish)

Funnygirl just seems all over the place to me and that's raising alarm bells but they're kind of soft bells right now.

Hope that helps. I'm going to sleep now.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I'm on my phone and way too tired to pull up posts. Those are the two gut reads I had.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

The only post that I can see as really weird to me is Funnygirl going for me being "Wolf coached" that seemed really strange to me. It rubbed me the wrong way and I was going to address it in D1. But for now I think I'm going to say ffa

I distinctly remember you saying that you play wolf so good that you forget you're town and for me, personally that's not a very good look.

Goodnight guys. I'll probably be dead after this.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

unvote

one more day is hype since I don't work tonight, meaning I'll be here for EOD

[Hateandhatred]

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

That being said... I read the thread, and I'm losterinos on reads.

One thing though, I think funnygirl is town, dunno what all you guys are on.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I have so many thoughts in my head right now and I cannot seem to put them into words right now. There's some info to go off of and this makes me really really happy. I'm off for three whole days. I'm gonna take this weekend to do some more searching on metas of some of the players I've never played with before and try to attempt a much better read list

Like I mentioned earlier I MIGHT be around to EoD. I'll try to be at least.

as someone who had this problem when i first started playing twg i can relate. Its best to just try and explain what you're feeling even if you dont have the words. Hopefully what you're trying to say will come across and even if you cant perfectly articulate you're feelings perhaps you can point something out which leads to a stronger read with help from town. And maybe you'll be surprisingly accurate for your first few games, and then never have a good read for like 5 months.

SG hasn't shown that he's with wolves this time around. And while he was playing a wolf game in his previous game, he was also by himself, so I know exactly what a 'by themselves' wolf game SG would come from. If he had access to daychat, then he would definitely get some assistance from others if Raeko & SG's accounts of their wolfchat in a previous game is true. I don't think it would be this messy with a wolf alignment tbh.

thesunfan really only had a major interaction regarding some frustration towards FG & Gradiant. Most of that has subsided from the looks of it, and it went nowhere. Feels like a true frustration move about how they didn't like the game. It's also interesting that they were, prior to blowing up, wanting to reduce pressure on FFA and unhappy with people for not doing so. Thing that doesn't sit with me is the dragon (Cocoa) read. From the few posts that she's made so far, it really just feels like another quiet, town dragonmega from previous games.

I think WV was stuck on a 'gotcha' moment that me & Sanzath shared in a previous game that got us kitb between 2 town. I believe WV is the slightest of town leans, but no more than FG is a confused town with how her votes are falling into line based on what other people have provided so far.

I need more posts from XelNya, Dafty.Pixel, DBP, Mtambourini, and Svaz. (I want to town lean XelNya for interactions earlier in the game but I haven't seen them since please come back)

Haku is pretty certain town for me. One post that Haku caught me off-guard was the afterthought of them dying and sarcastically pointing out if they die and they're just a vanilla town. I don't think anyone is vanilla town in this scenario, but I think a good majority of us have good abilities with counterweights on them that prevents it from being a PR role and moves it back to town aligned, if anything Haku has said about their role is true.

My Antori read from earlier in the thread has not changed.

Hateandhatred is innocent child.

Noteworthy pointing out that from my point of view, Storn and Gradiant have both been thinking very similarly to me on almost all reactions such as Funnygurl, WV, and even in reads. I don't know what to make of it on whether it's the god wolf pocket or some ridiculously insane mindmelding. My reads on them are reserved for the time being, but it's creeping me out. Just a little bit.

Roundbox has been seemingly town so far, he hasn't really given me anything to argue with against, and that goes a bit for separating my thoughts between lumping RB in with Storn & Gradiant, because they are opposed to the soundwave stuff.

I don't really understand where sunfan is coming from in Town-reading Svaz. There was also another post from someone who's name escapes me saying that mellon's reads makes her lock clear town as well and I'm just taking that information at face value as well.

Daikyi has been contributing to conversations imo but not really leaning stuff one way or the other, y'know, what would feel like meaningful contribution to the conversations for me. Feels like they're playing a very strong neutral game, talking about the points that need to be talked about, that would have been most likely brought up anyways. It wasn't until very recently in the thread that their posts feel like they begun to garnish meaning. Not my lynch for tonight, but I don't know what to think of it either.

Never played games with funnier, but from the posts that I've seen I can tell there's experience in TWG behind them. I can definitely see what they mean when they said that FFA is playing a different game. I am unsure if the both of us are on the same page regarding it, but it felt like FFA was much more critical with posts and back & forth talking than they were in previous games. FFA themselves also mentioned that they would not be able to put as much effort into this game for ??? reason, so it could just be that. Their posts are still somewhat similar to wolves game that they've played, but it's different enough and also not enough to go off of imho to stick to that gut feeling.

If that is truly SG's last post for this phase (even though phase doesn't end for another 12 hours) then I'm obligated to drop on soundwave. I think what I want to do here, is go by the most mechanical information that was offered in this phase, and see where it goes from there. Kind of shitty if Soundwave has been telling the truth this entire time, but that's the shit that happens when a 1 in 21 bullshiterino happens. If Haku is town-aligned, I have no doubt there will be a situation tonight where 1 omega wolf PR that just fucks everything up and Haku will die regardless of what happens, and they are playing this phase as such. If Haku is wolf, ya fucked everything up mate. You not dying by the day phase following after this one, is going to result in literally everyone giving you stink eye.

Feel free to point me towards shit that I probably missed. Probably can't help but miss stuff in a 1000+ post, d0 thread.

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

Random Thoughts Except This Time I’m Caught Up.

Haiku feels like attempting to solve the game. I’ve been told to expect chaos but it all feels like good chaos so I’ma go with that. I never really understood scum who draw so much attention to themselves.

Idek what ffa is doing, it’s like we’re all playing poker and he’s playing go fish.

Shadow is flailing about but I’m gonna stick to the original read.

I’d be voting fg right now but I’ve never voted fg before and I’d literally feel bad about myself as a person. Will need to see a vote count.

Forgot to add sunfan to this. I want to say he’s guaranteed third party because why why why would he would not-so-jokingly break my heart as town/not go for the super easy right in front of his face answer that I would’ve accepted without question? Literally the whole point of asking was so that I could conserve brain cells and not have to read you and then you had to go and do that. <\3

Re: TWG 187: Senpai [Game Thread]

I don't know, I'm still inclined to read both Haku and Soundwave as genuine town/town here from that interaction; I believe there's some kind of interference. I can only assume that there are roles out there with a lot of powers and complexity to them, though I don't know if anyone amended their original pick for something more powerful after being goaded by Xiz.

Speaking of Xiz, has anyone heard from him since that post-fall post? If the host is in the hospital (get better btw Xiz, sorry to read about that) will the game just pause until he returns; as far as I know, no co-host was established and I feel like submitting night actions will be tricky, at best, without one.

I meant to post more last night, but had a headache after marathoning Stranger Things 3 (It's good btw) and tried reading to catch up and just fell asleep instead.

I realise I'm a more inactive player saying this, but in such a big game, would it still be unreasonable to look to UTR? I guess this is still a policy, but I really hate killing off active players so soon because it leads to a deader, less interesting game later on, or one where different people have to speak up given that the more frequent posters are no longer occupying the space (I guess this is a little different than my LTWG preferences of louder people going so I can talk more w).

Realistically, I believe that we will have to try and keep track of votecounts ourselves up until EoD if there is no co-host, and once the day ends, the game is put on pause until a host can perform a role flip.
