alright, this is an acceptable answer, as i was gonna say that if i were to be stretching it, his seeming obsession with you seems villagery cuz it feels like it's coming from a spot of trying to give guidelines to the thread on how to read you, or that he'll handle itRanmilia wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:46 pm So there is that. I'm sure he has better scum games but that is what forms my baseline. And in this game specifically, he entered posting a lot of stuff about me which is correct and (in my eyes) fairly insightful and beyond anything I've seen him do as a wolf.
... granted that does amount to "he's buttering up me specifically and talking about me specifically." So there is that too.
Like this just does not strike me as a post coming from a wolf here. There is almost always an early debate of some sort about me, people who don't know me go through phases of "Ran is weird and could be powerwolfing, I'm worried" until they know better... but this sentiment above, when I see it, has come from town every time except specifically once (Alison in SCI'22). And TSP is not Alison.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:15 pm Ran will be outed by results and thread position by day 3 at the latest and this is a 27 player game so I’m just not worried
Yeah the mech is definitely a thing. I suppose we're far enough in now that I can say that's also what I was doing.tedxtr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:53 pm im not aware of how much leetic's improved, but a lot of years ago, if he was not being influential, he was a wolf. this is basically a full 180 from that, so i lean village
if he's decided to emulate this as his wolfgame, then godspeed. it's draining
and imo you should put wwa in villa list, it's possible they could've faked their reaction to my mech callout, but it doesn't seem that way to me. i kinda lean a wolf would know exactly what i mean, and not that people haven't posted. if it's faked on the spot then it's a pretty witty frame swap
they could be playing dumb if wolf, but this sounds p good on t0an, and the red line is a sick thing to say knowing you're playing dumb lolWindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:14 amTell wolfchat to play the game, loltedxtr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:03 am now to touch on an NAI subject that is potentially interesting, has anyone noticed that it's just half the game playing?
i want some brainstorming on what that means cuz we couldn't figure out in wolfchat
i think this is the sort of topic that should be discussed in a d0
Jokes aside, isn't it because it's still D0? People will probably trickle in by the time the game actually starts, especially since we're just over 12 hours into the pregame phase and I'd expect that not everyone has gotten the chance to check in yet. So, I get what you mean, but I don't think it's particularly unusual at this point in time.

@leetic So, remember my first post? It wasn't fluff, it's a quote from the TV show the game is based on, and it has a meaning in context. It was indeed a friendly opener but also it was a probe to see who would recognize it and be familiar with the flavor. leetic, wind and pyxxy all showed they were unfamiliar, Gira seemed to catch it (and also affirmed this signal back as early as p#88 and reaffirmed it recently when ted brought the mech up again).
How does dubz seem informed lolRanmilia wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:26 pm Reasonably Confident Townreads
Ranmilia - your kawaii internet idol~
robyn - Legally required.
TSP - He's done the same things as me in terms of what he cares about, and with prior knowledge is a fairly easy read. By which I mean It's true. This man has no wolfgame.
leetic - the good news is leetic is pretty clearly uninformed and continues to confirm that. The bad news is leetic is pretty clearly uninformed.
Gira - Gira saw what I was doing, and that earns a lot of points, unless we are in the exact world where it means the opposite. I think robyn's take is very incorrect here, Gira is paying attention and while there is a world where that's wolf attention I currently have no reason to believe in that world over the baseline of caring about the game is towny.

What exactly are you trying to glean from whether or not people are familiar with the flavor?

You don't have to be "good" to make GTH reads. You know what GTH means right? Also, why are you the third person in this game that I needed to ask that to?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 5:08 pm I will say on background I have not played with many people in this game, or at least not when I cared about games, and simply don’t feel super comfortable making individual reads on air (unlike some people who think they’re good enough to do that).
Is it not obvious? Wolves have information, presumably including information on the mechanics beyond what we know. Wolves also share information, if one wolf knows something from the flavor then probably all wolves know it, unless they specifically think to fake this. Kind of the point of the game. At the very least I don't think Gira is likely wolf partners with wind, leetic or pyxxy. And hopefully, depending on what the mech gimmicks actually turn out to be, later on we'll be able to look back at these different responses in the earlygame and make even more reads on things like that.leetic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:53 pmWhat exactly are you trying to glean from whether or not people are familiar with the flavor?

share plz
i really don't agree, seems more like he found something that caught his attention then commented on it. would be different if it was something everyone else was talking about but it's an original thought. i sense that there is a disagreement here based on theory though which i am unlikely to sell you onleetic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:59 pmOut-of-nowhere jumps in a largely fluffy or nonexistent ISO look wolfyGira wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:58 pmwhy's that?leetic wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:55 pmWhen you have so little in your ISO, the fact that you felt the need to jump on this seems fishy.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:38 pmYou already tried to imply this on the first page.
