Rascal let's compare notes on Gator.
why do you think he's villa?
No, unfortunately I did mean BID. I spent most of my afternoon thinking there were 7 left so while I wasn't looking at BID's posts because I knew he was dead I kept adding him into analysis because in my head I knew there had to be 7 players. I actually did it a couple of times.
FWIW I don't think Gator tries to derp-clear himself, although he appears to be smitten with the term and likes to use it a lot.
Like, he should know who he just killed last night.
Here's where I stand at the moment:
Gator - Villa: For reasons I posted above.
Ong - Villa Lean: I can't see wolf Ong going at baudib this hard.
JKDS - Neutral to Slight Wolf Lean: I keep going back and forth on JKDS. I need to reread him tbh.
gabe - Wolf Lean: I'm suspicious of him because of the BID NK and his posting so far today hasn't given me any villa vibes.
baudib - Wolf Lean: Mainly because I've never baudib flip flop in his voting this much. In this game, he's pushing Ong, but then voting me and then switches to JKDS. In addition, some of your posts have been inconsistent, which isn't normally what I expect from baudib.
there's nothing inconsistent Rascal, I'm just changing my mind a lot between pretty close equities.
literally in my head this morning, before seeing the reveal, I went from "Well it has to be Rascal but I want to YOLO JKDS" to "WOW THAT NIGHTKILL IS TOTALLY JKDS" to "Meh only Rascal probably kills BID there" in like 5 mins.
if that's what you mean by inconsistent then you're flat out lying because that's no different than any EOD in every turbo ever.
alright I sorta expected a bit more but I think Rascal is a villager, ~84% percent confidence
you can MAJ me now Rascal.
incidentally Rascal, Gator, whom we both have as villa, went from "wolf JKDS probably never does this" to voting him within like 5 posts or something.
it's just that type of game.
are you talking about post 682? I explained that already.
I've pointed out the many ridiculous wolfy things Ong said about me today and it fell on deaf ears. It's obvious he isn't going to get lynched today and the village needs to see my flip before they start putting heat on anyone else. In reality it seems like everyone is just willing to let Ong win.
Rascal, also, after this lynch, ask Ong what made him decide that MMM was town but he didn't try to campaign for anyone else to rescind on him.
I went back and read thru that and it's apparent that gator was rereading JKDS since it took over an hour and a half for him to say he needed to go back and reread JKDS and his post where he voted for him.
After going back and rereading his analysis, it reinforces my feelings on gator being a villager and puts JKDS back into my wolf pile.
yeah, I agree.
but why am I wolfy for flip-flopping
shrug.
whatever, I'm not important.
This game has me flip-flopping some too.
It may be because of the game state that we're in. With the lynch of Luco with only 1 post, there's no spew to work with so the wolf doesn't have anything to hide or spew. I think that may make this game tougher than normal.
yep it's like a turbo where you lynch the wolf in a runaway vote D1, the seer gets killed and you've got nothing.
True
I think that's what has me jumping at every thing I see.
FWIW Gator and Gabe are probably too good as wolves to clear this light this early, but I really feel good about them.
Gabe in particular. I don't actually know who "led" the MMM lynch (he blamed me for some reason, no ragrets) but I felt I was mindmelding with Gabe when he pointed out all of MMM's weird posts. I think Gator said similar things.
I always find wordy, over-explained reads to be extremely wolfy, but if Gabe was faking those reactions it's pretty sick.
Gator claims reading Gabe as a wolf is easy, so maybe ask him for his opinion.
I'm out. if I'm still alive later I'm going to be really annoyed.
I want credit too. No ragrets. Would kill again.
Rascal, when did you ever see me wolf in a long game? I've been a wolf here but not any games you've been in, in 3 of Top Tier Tom's vanilla + games and in the Monkey Banana no-reveal game, and that's it.
I mostly only play mashes now and I've never been a wolf in a mash.
I've never been a wolf in a mash. The only mash we've been in was that minimash on MU and the GoT, I was a villager and you were an orange wolf or something.
That might be worth checking out.
Note to villagers: After I'm dead DO NOT autolynch Rascal just cuz "lol POE"
Rascal has been absent quite a bit from the game but he laid slank cover in the signup. I think the only real thing that points to him being the wolf is killing Drew, because I legit think it's a dumb kill for anyone else to make. Drew wanted to lynch Rascal, and Rascal's not that familiar with us, and hasn't wolfed here yet.
I'm doing an ISO on Rascal's wolf game in GoT, and granted that's a multi-faction, 69-player game, but his posting is night and day.
I hope the formatting on this works or else it will be impossible to read. Sorry in advance.
First off, he makes tons of posting giving excuses as to why he's not in the thread, and promises to be back later.
Spoiler:
Stuff like that is literally probably 8%-10% of his posts in this game (only 100). And it wasn't just that he had excuses, most of which were probably legitimate, it's that he had zero sustained presence in the thread ever and makes it a point of saying how busy he is in all of his posting bursts.
I think the most noticeable thing about Rascal's wolf game (and granted, it was almost a year ago) is that he offered almost no original thoughts ever.
Almost all of his posts involve him quoting another post and making a really simple comment on it, or trying to look helpful, or talking about game mechanics. The trying to look helpful posts came in the form of talk about lore and stuff like, "HAY GUIZE WHO SHOULD I SHOOT IN ITAS?" or asking for cliffs on what was going on. Clicking through some of these responses, it's quite clear that a huge % of them were responding to someone saying, "Hey bro, you're wolfy AF."
Spoiler:And so on and so on.
This was in response to a very long post calling him out as "underwhelming." After 7,000 posts in a 69-player game, he had 4 villa reads.
They arent lynching pascal after you, they're lynching me after you. A final day with either one of us alive is far worse than a final day us both dead.
No one is going to bother to read this either, but I found some posts from Ong's most recent wolf game, and his villager game where we nommed him on D1 because he was playing so well.
Villager game
Spoiler:
This one is post 51, tossing out those villa reads with serious DGAF swag:
This is in response to JKDS saying Ong feels like a villager:
Note that Ong knows he gave JKDS a town lean really quickly, so quickly he thinks it should be alarming to JKDS. He's both giving a read and testing JKDS.
I like this post because Ong is very playful here without being abrasive.
Here's Aubrey's reason for saying Ong is a villager:
[QUOTE=aubreymcfate;2217015]I have no real reads *sigh*
ong would be more tense and less carefree if he was a wolf, which i base on my experience wolfing with him.
ong would be more tense and less carefree if he was a wolf
The feeling I get from Ong, as I have mentioned before, is that he's been awfully #tryhard from the beginning of the game, and even more so after the Luco lynch. We basically luck boxed the shit out of that lynch, and if you're a villager you know you were feeling pretty good about it. Ong's attitude and relentless drive to control the lynch seems off.
Here's where Ong gives his wolf reads:
Those posts from villager Ong are definitely carefree, fluid and spontaneous. He doesn't explain shit. He points out things that are villagery. His strongest wolf lean is Daven and he just says, "holy shit, Daven is a wolf! props to whoever pointed it out." He doesn't drone on and on "XYZ means Daven is a wolf, and ABC also means Daven is a wolf. Also, consider that 1-2-3 means Daven is super wolfy.
What Ong does as a wolf is he over explains things, and talks about things that don't matter at all
Here is Ong's early salvos at me, after I said that Boog was slightly wolfy after 1 post (where he said basically nothing). I already went through a bout with Luco (also a wolf) over this, and told everyone to STFU about it because it obviously wasn't even a thing.
This is how I caught Ong and basically the entire wolf team 60 posts into the game
Spoiler:
This post is classic Ong filling the airwaves with nothingness
Remember the Villager Ong, tossing out soul reads like free candy? He continues his attack on me for giving Rilla, Rilla of all fucking people, an early villager read. As if he thinks Rilla is some awesome wolf we should be worried about when he clearly entered the thread with mega villagery presence:
Ong actually bothers to argue with me about this when I made it clear I was never going to worry about him
Villager Ong likes to freely give town reads as he sees fit. Wolf Ong warns people: Watch out for the big bad Rilla wolf.
Here are some choice posts from Ong this game. First off after trolling a few posts (role neutral), he makes it clear he thinks it's me and Gator based off nothing.
This is a long long awkward setup to make a point that villager Ong seems to make in like 8 words or less
Double Day Unlimited Ong doesn't like it when people give other people thin villa reads apparently:
Ong very self-conscious of his standing in the village:
Actively pushing Gator for having reads. Dude, it's Gator.
Double Day Unlimited Ong doesn't like it when people give other people thin villa reads. This is in response to me saying Gator felt lighthearted and game solvey:
Verdicts:
Rascal - very likely village (~90%)
Ong - meh. I guess I'm the only one but I think he has pretty decent wolf equity (~30%)
JKDS 40%
Ong 30%
Gator 10-15%
Rascal 10%
Gabe 5-10%
Fact is, I cant read you baudib. Idk what it is, but nothing i've ever seen you do has ever seemed villagery. What I do know is that a) you are tenacious, regardless of role, b) you do all sorts of shenanigans to prove you're a villager, regardless of role, and c) youre experienced enough to know all sorts of different methods of "hunting" that would help you fake being a villa.
So like, I see you post a giant ass wall about ong. And had that come from, say, Rascal, I might stop and say "hey, thats a shitton of work; rascal must be really excited about this and really think hes got a wolf here". But I know you've seen this kind of tactic in the past. So that puts you in this weird spot where I dont think I can ever find you villagery, because I know you're always trying to manipulate people into thinking you're a villager.
Whats worse, is i've heard many players (rascal, for instance) say things like "hard work = villager". I know this to be a common theme from my own experiences as well. So I have no doubt that if you were a wolf, that you'd be able to convince them and win the game.
Thats my whole dilemma right now.
stop wasting your time. think about the rest of the players.
There's plenty more Ong stuff, I don't have the time to dig for it and I'm going to be dead soon. Don't try to save me.
Just refer to the posts from previous games later and decide if he's trying to solve or trying to obfuscate.
1. It's pretty clear that the wolf bussed. Unless it's rascal, which I don't think is likely, but you guys are probably gonna kill him because there's literally no other mechanical info to go on.
2. IDFK about Ong, the thing I'd say in contrasting his villager and wolf games is he likes to try to get with more audacious shit as a wolf. Oddly enough, he posts in a third-level self-aware manner as a villager, saying things he knows will draw attention but just doesn't give a shit about.
for example:
"Aroooo, I mean quack" - villager
"Hey I just shot Keith in broad daylight for no reason, I'm obviously a villager because why the fuck would I do that as a wolf?! Obviously I wouldn't so you must lock clear me." - wolf
One more post about the nightkill and I'll leave it at that:
Maybe I'm just thinking about this too first level, but it makes no sense to me why the wolf wouldn't want to get a villager who didn't vote for Luco at F3.
As it stands, it looks really likely that the F3 will come from the Luco wagon.
Who as a wolf would be thinking about this, and who would try to win in this way?
Heres what I see. These are the only posts talking about luco prior to his lynch.
This is either standard FPS from ong where he does something 'no wolf would ever do, for the luls', or its just a legit comment about how the top of the player list is screwed. Dunno. Its one of the first posts though, and I feel like its just an ice breaker type of thing.
Not getting any info from this post due to luco's reveal
But this is the only defense of luco posted this game. Its made when hes only got 1 (2?) votes on him though, and its not even a serious wagon.
See
We got this...
Putting luco in the lead, while urging MMM. Doesnt really seem like mmm is getting lynched though, even though its 3-2. I actually liked this post a ton, and felt it was super indicative of gator being a villager. I can see it as him being a wolf and setting up a future mmm death (you know, it could even be a soft defense of luco with the hope that mmm beinga villa clears luco), but I dont see it.
Not surprised still. I loved the reasoning. Maybe I didnt give mmm enough credit, but seems good to me.
Could be a wolfy hammer. But I doubt it.
-----
I mean, I can see reasons for why each of gabe/gator/ong could be a wolf. But everyone left is tricky, and my gut says theyre all villas.
God damn it, i like those 3 posts.
Ok, im fired up now.
rescind Baudib
Rescind rascal
I need to take another look at the mmm train.
That's so fucking weird you would say that. The BiD kill is really the only thing that makes me think Rascal could be a wolf. Here are BID's last 3 posts.
Looking at it Level 1 I think Rascal would totally kill BID for these posts.
Nother fps
discredit the wagon; so does gator, so does gabe.
This seems so not wolfyyyyy
But this is a big response to my attack on ong, and it doesnt seem to click. NOw that I think about it, it does seem like its more of a thought out response...rather than what I expect to be an emotional response.
BAUDIB; talk to me about gabe. I love gator for villager still, but gabe looks weird too. He hammered luco for no reason, pushed mmm along, and nothing he says has matched what i think this game. I've been towning him cuz of meta and the luco wagon, but maybe im wrong here too
The real problem for me in this game was A. I didn't really give a shit and only inned at the last minute to make it a game B. we lynched the wolf basically randomly, with no interactions to speak of C. interactions have been slow, with nothing to really talk about.
I'm not gonna claim to be great at reading Gator.
I've usually been on different sides than Gabe; last game I was super comfortable with him being a villager (honestly, it was probably one of the best games I've ever had as far as reads) and have something of the same sort of feel here
I'm OK reading Rascal
JKDS -- never seen him wolf
Ong -- he just likes to be my personal nemesis.
I dont know why rascal would want the entire luco train alive, just because BID wanted him dead. Lots of people had votes on rascal, myself included.
BID was practically confirmed villa tho by almost everyone. The onyl person who tried to discredit that was gabe (iirc)
I'm not going to blame him or Gator, I'll take as much credit for the MMM lynch as anyone. But I never really had a grasp on why Gator wanted MMM lynched (I asked him about it yesterday). What Gabe said about MMM really seemed to click with me because I thought the same thing. Master manipulation, or we just totally mind melded as villagers.
Last game Gabe was super active (by his standards) so it was really easy for me to read him as villager. I don't get any sense of wolfy vibe from Gabe, but obviously he's pretty good.
Probably worth pointing out, him telling me and Ong to knock it off is somewhat reminiscent of my first full game here. I was terrible, and Wuf and I tunneled each other relentlessly. Gabe was a wolf playing "wise village elder" and saying, "hey you kids knock it off."
I guess the test will be whether he tries to reassess everyone or just plow through the PoE in short order and play it by ear at F3.
I have no idea what the vote count is, or how much time is left. Are you dead, or can we still shift this to ong?
Hoopys last post said 48 hours from yesterday, so we still got a full day.
I think I have 3 votes. I don't know who Gabe is actually voting for based on his last post (rescind all, vote the thing, win).
Ong has a lot of villagery posts IMO. But he seems super motivated this game, which I can't really reconcile with him being a villager.
Him wanting a basically solo win as a wolf would do it though.
JK, you might be right about the BiD kill, I probably need to stop thinking about it.
If you think Rascal is unlikely to kill BiD, then you should probably just hard clear him and be happy to take him to F3.
He's been AFK but his tone/posting-investigative style are pretty much like his villager game.
I would go back and look at that Varchertine game but I've tried to block that out of my memory.
My biggest concern with him is that there isnt the adorable-grandma type of help he usually provides. No color coded vote counts, etc. But he is busy, and that shit takes work.
Meanwhile ong has 3 posts laughing about how awesome the bid kill was.
I skimmed a bit of it just now.
lynch Ong
I've clearly not been payng attention to his game recently. HIs posts are way more paranoia based here, and dont have any conviction. There isnt any focus to the attacks. Like, hes gone after me a few times with silly things but none of them had any teeth. Villa ong doesnt do that, he only attacks when he feels there is reason to attack. Hes a lot more reactionary too as a villa, often starting wars if he gets suspected.
I have 2 concerns regarding Ong
1. He's a villager and I somehow survive to F3 and he just snap votes me
2. He's a wolf and Gator and Gabe have already hard cleared him and will be suspicious of each other
I'm not too worried about either one, but those are the scenarios I see causing problems.
I dont have a shot at end game either. I've dont jack to clear myself this game. Best plan is probably still to off the two of us, but fuck it, I think ongs a wolf.
Votecount 2.1

About 26 hours left.
I have no fucking idea what JKDS is playing at here but I'm pretty sure he's a villager.
How interesting that baudib is voting for JKDS and me, as well as rascal. baudib doesn't give a fuck who gets lynched so long as it's not him. I don't care if I get lynched so long as he's next.
I'm glad jkds doesn't think I'm a villager any more. That leaves only drew who can read me, and noone listens to him anyway.
jkds how can you say I have no conviction? I dunno if you noticed, but I think baudib is a wolf, and everyone else town. Even you suddenly turning on me isn't shifting that position. This is as much conviction as you can expect from me. Maybe d1 I was less confident, I dunno why that would alarm you.
This is a really weird thing for baudib to say. I've been banging on all day how wolfy he is, and he's been saying my attack on him is wolfy, now he says my posts are villagery and it's my motivation that's wolfy. Even though this is exactly as motivated as I was last time me and baudib shat all over the thread.
baudib doesn't even know why he thinks I'm wolfy, he's just desperately trying to tap into other people's paranoia. He's succeeded with JKDS but I predict JKDS will wake up before end of day because JKDS knows how to tone read me. If JKDS persists with this, well I guess he could be a wolf who is hoping to get rid of me, leaving rascal and baudib. But I'm really feeling JKDS villager tone here.
Let's crunch numbers. How many mislynches does the wolf need?
Let's say I die next, then baudib and he fucking flips village. That leaves gabe, gator, rascal and jkds for f4, with two lynches to get it right.
Yeah we're good, gabe and gator have got this.
Whatever. Wolf can't win unless wolf is one of gator or gabe, which it's not. Lynch me for all I care.
I forgot the nom. Wolf noms one of gator or gabe.
Ok wolf needs three mislynches, so if JKDS is the wolf he has a chance if he can get rid of me.
Bravo JKDS, you just added yourself to my lynch pool too.
JKDS, This is FPS. We HAVE to lynch baudib with this lynch if for no other reason than to force Ong (or Gabe or myself) to try and focus on someone else. If Baudib really is a villager then there shouldn't be any snap decisions for the next one, but he is still miles away the best choice for now.
The fact that he doesn't fully embrace that bothers me. He says he does, but as soon as he gets anyone on the hook for anyone else he runs with it. He did the same thing yesterday with Rascal.
Baudib has to die today. It is the best move for the village.
I agree with Gator.
rescind Rascal
You can't make me believe that these aren't subtle attempts to get Rascal to move from you to me.
Gator, you're just going to have to accept the fact that I think you're a villager and I don't think anyone should lynch you. Sorry.
Noone is going to lynch gator. Nor gabe. For the wolf to win, I need to get lynched.
It's baudib or jkds on that basis alone. Rascal has positioned himself to maybe go for gabe or gator, but it's a bold move for a wolf because he's not going to get any support.
Nah, Im electing to lynch wolves. Fuck maximizing endgame, the day we start doing that is the day we change the game name to were-wugy.
I think there is strong psychological bias going on though that is clouding our judgment. Think of someone you hate for a moment. No matter what that person does, it always seems like theyre incompetent, or they're gonna fuck up, right? This is because people tend to see the absolute worst in people in they dont like, while simultaneously seeing the best in people they do like. Idols, for example, can do no wrong.
Back to this game, baudib is super unlikeable. From calling everyone morons, to telling us to 'read the thread', going "gl gl gl", and constantly gloating about how awesome he is on some forum no one cares about, we hate him. That makes it so much easier to see him as the person thats tricking us, but im not sure hes it.
If we narrowed it down to ong v baudib, ong's done things that make far less sense from a villager than baudib has. Ong had to do less work to craft the level. And the bid kill makes so much more sense coming from Ong than from Baudib. BID is someone recognized both by himself and ong as someone that could read ong well. It makes a ton of sense for a wolf ong to kill BID while he was reading him as villa, while also leaving every player on the luco lynch alive for cover. It makes little sense for Baudib to kill him though, since he doesnt see BID as threatening and because it leaves eveyrone that lynched luco still standing. Its almost suicidal for baudib to do that, and I feel like such a kill makes a baudib lynch today almost guaranteed.
I'm actually not that awesome on some other forum, I just never get mislynched or even wagoned. I get forced to live to the end of every fucking game because wolves apparently aren't scared of me. It's the height of mediocrity.
were-wugy made me laugh tho
rescind JKDS
I feel like baudib-wolf kills someone on the luco wagon 100% of the time, but if the wolf lynched luco, that wolf kills someone NOT on the luco wagon 100% of the time.
Prior to last night, the top picks were rascal and baudib. Rascal wasnt on the wagon either. Its almost obvious that this day would go like its going due to this kill.
btw you guys can blame me if Rascal somehow slips through as the last wolf. But I don't see any wolfy posts from him at all.
If Rascal were fully engaged and active in this game I'd say there was no way he'd kill BiD either, because most of his experience comes from playing turbos and turbos (which are vanilla 9ers) are all about fundamental mechanical play. you basically always kill someone who voted the wolf.
btw it should be
"glgl"
not
"gl gl gl"
get it right clowns
sigh it's JKDS. What choice does he have?
fwiw I don't hate baudib. I like the guy. We just clash in ww because he's so fucking wolfy and I'm so fucking mouthy.
I think JKDS is the wolf because I think I'm obviously a villager and JKDS should know that.
I mean at first he wants to keep me around because I like him and think he's a villager. But when push comes to shove, he realises that one of me, gator or gabe has to be mislynched. The other two will be even more difficult than I will, because baudib's vote can be relied on, and maybe even gabe or gator could be swayed if this shitfest is pissing them off.
JKDS' hand is forced here, he can't back away from me even though he knows it's going to be a bitch to get more votes on me.
I've called you a wolf at various points this game. Trying to make it seem like its 'all of a sudden' is evidence that YOUR hand is forced.
It is all of a sudden. You said "I like ong now" and now suddenly you don't. I'm happy we've got this won now. I'm just pissed it wasn't baudib.
