    Gabe's approach to WW is so different from anyone I've ever seen.

    In some ways it is probably an insult to his work ethic but my view of him is that he was probably put on this earth to be a great poker player/probabilistic thinker and his method of working through people's motivations or pretending to work through their motivations puts him on a level I can't even comprehend.

    Because of that I've never found him to be the easiest player to work with, as a villager. I've never seen him this excited about an idea or really mixing it up and taking charge of the village. I think it's pretty interesting and I'm willing to see where it leads.

    *potentially

    If wuf says something, there's nothing potential about it. If wuf isn't a wolf, then the wolves will no doubt be asking if his first post is or isn't a crumb. I haven't helped them, I've given them a headache.

    We're approaching deadline with me in the lead, so I'm claiming. I'm vanilla. My idea today was to try and play in a way that would have the wolves think I'm seer, ie aloof and unwilling to commit myself, hoping to draw the nom, but that's not happening now with the heat I'm getting.

    I feel like the early heat on me was sincere, people like baudib and gabe who are just trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing. But jkds and hoopy, I get the feeling there's wolfing here, moving in for the mislynch.

    jkds is definitely skecth. It's very much unlike him to slap a vote down on me without detailed and logical reasons for me being a wolf. He knows he can read me better than most. He is more than capable of exposing my wolfiness. But here he just votes me with "i agree" and then fucks off again.

    hoopy and jkds my top two picks, the third is in drew, rong, wuf, luco. This is where seer/vig should be looking imo.

    I understand your sentiment, but for now BID stays for the following two reasons.

    A) He's participating in-thread at the moment, albeit very infrequently.

    B) There aren't any available subs I know of. We had a sign-up cross thread in the Commune before this match started and weren't able to attract another player.

    It's very difficult to get 12 people to be mega-lurkers + active contributors to a Werewolf match over a two week period due to exterior personal commitments. It's possible on larger forums to discourage sign-ups who may not be available for the duration of the match, but it's not an option when interest maxes out at 12.

    So in short, thanks to BID and other low-activity players for making the match possible, and thanks to rong and other high-activity players for making the match awesome. If BID makes it to a point this game in which he's completely out of the loop, then we'll bully a veteran to fill-in for the remainder of the match.

    There are approximately 18 hours remaining in Day 1.

    Vote Count (as of Post #385)

    OngBonga - 4
    BankItDrew - 1
    Hoopy - 1
    wufwugy - 1

    7 Votes required for majority lynch. If no majority can be reached by 9am ET Thursday, then the player who received the most votes will be lynched. Ties are broken by who reached the tying number first among the lynch candidates.

    Note: I may not be around at precisely 9am ET tomorrow, but the vote tallies at exactly that moment will be final provided a majority isn't reached before then. Nighttime posting IS allowed this match.

    Nope because I wouldn't as special.

    Last time I was seer I got picked off n2, iirc. I believe rilla was a wolf and I got their attention by not being my usual self.

    I've read this like four times now and can't figure out why I would expect to dodge the seer thanks to my post. I'd also expect to be high up in the vig list, especially having claimed vanilla. So it's not the best gambit, when I have the option of claiming seer or angel, which would definitely dodge the vig.

    Ong, I think everyone respects your wolf game but no one would give you the award for having the most logical thought process 100% of the time. You've FPSd your way out of a lot of situations.

    i'm here and will be here for a while

    i'm going to use the ongexcuse for my last couple posts last night. specifically id like to retract saying hoopy/wuf duel is on. i dont think hoopy/wuf is the right competition out of the bottom 6 posters.



    jkds hasnt posted much, which i know is not wolfy by itself. but it means he has so few posts they are easy to go over


    Quote Originally Posted by JKDS View Post

    all of us need to know this, but having it be the first thing on your mind worth asking about is wolfy. jkds doesnt interact with players but he did take the time to come up with this question. i think the issue of when the game day ends is more prevalent in wolf brains than a village brain. so this simple post, given context, is slightly wolfy

    Quote Originally Posted by JKDS View Post

    I was right tho...
    i didnt think about this when i first saw it, but this is a very wolfy post. its a subconscious admission of guilt disguised as a joke gif. classic. this post allowed his mind to admit something when really it wanted to admit he was a werewolf. this is such a strong tell that i dont see how i'm voting for anyone else just based off this alone

    Quote Originally Posted by JKDS View Post

    Actions are not wolfy or villagery. Its the motivation behind them.

    Also, gabe almost always asks for angel protection early. Idk why.
    jkds is considering this type of thing when he is constructing his posts. "what will it look like my motivations are" is a big part of his thought process. it must be, because he mentioned it in the combined 6 sentences he had posted at his point. this is something wolves do way more than villagers. if you keep in mind hes trying to manage how his motivations appear, then him calling out the voting system i suggest in the manner he did makes so much sense, if hes a wolf.

    Im far too much of a team player, and far too risk-adverse to post a gif like that as wolf. You'll recall times when I've done something wacky, but you'll also recall each of those times occurring where there was minimal risk. In a seer game, in my first few posts, the risk is far too high and there is no reward. Im ballsy, but im not reckless.

    And yes, I think things through and care about deadline times. I could right a book about why everyone should, regardless of role.

    yes of course everyone should think things through and also care about deadline times. the point wasnt that you made a mistake in doing these things. the mistake was for you to ONLY post about these things. combine that with the GIF and you gotta die

    sure i believe you are risk adverse as a wolf. i also believe you didnt think, at the time of your gif post, that the gif appeared as anything but innocent fun

    I'm kind of a sucker for GIF reads. I was in a recent mash and someone posted a gif of Walter White doing the hands up, "Ya got me!"

    Another poster pointed out that it's an incredibly incriminating thing to post and suggests a guilty mindset. Walter White, after all, was indeed a wolf.

    It seemed like a legit read and I think Gabe is making an honest read here.

    turns out the guy posting the gif was a villager, but I still like the genuine nature of the read. I don't think a wolf has the balls to put that kind of thing out there.

We have a small game (only 9 villagers) and a daily vig, so theoretically we could lose with a mislynch on D3.
    Over the last year, and especially the last couple months, I have gradually reduced the amount of clutter I post. I used to post anytime I had a thought and not even read much of other peoples' posts, but now I don't post that much and I reread the posts regularly. I don't have that much time during the week to devote to this game, which is good because if I had more I would be bored and posting lots of clutter, which would, as always, have a detrimental effect on how well I read things.

    I'll do by best to get to everything I can, but really I only have like ~90 minutes each weekday to devote to the game. That's not much at all, and far lower than I would devote before.

    I disagree with the urgency, but we can talk about that after the game.

    Boog, Wuf has been notoriously difficult to lynch. Also, Wuf has rarely ever been a bottom poster at any point in any game. In general I like your tone this game but these posts are unsettling. Not sure what to make of these, could be nothing.
    I've been near bottom poster on d1 several times, and I think I've become an easy lynch since the days of yore when I used to have more time and more obsession with pwning faces that I would clutter a lot because I thought I was gatting suckas by doing so.

    I don't think I will ever lynch JKDS d1 because I think he is the best player here. I also adore when I caught him as serial killer. That was the most complex yet accurate read I made, and I'm proud of it.

    Very true. Granted I think it's all about a macro assessment of the logic and behavior of the players. At least for me. Others are intuitive in other ways.

    Nothing at all gives you a little shot of, "hey that shits wolfy"? Reading posts isn't connecting to some deep working memory and forcing you to start to push people around into piles of V and W?

    If I were angel I'd rand the protect between myself, Gabe and Rilla, weighing myself the least.

    I'm probably not the angel but it'd be a decent strategy here.

    And thus I just gave us all a bit of protected equity and forced the wolves to consider a less-than-optimal shot.

    Luco trending slightly upward. I think he is being perceptive of a lot of inconsistencies in people's thought processes and is relatively engaged.

    however he is not offering any real original thoughts and this MO is pretty good cover for a wolf trying to slip in bits of doubt here and there.

    I liked what Boog was posting when he was here but his long absences have me considering the fact that he just did enough to escape suspicion D1 (I gave him something of a free pass) and he's now skating by.

    We have to deal with Wuf's lame excuses and poor fundamental approach to WW every game so it's just a fact of life now.

    But still, lynching a non playing villager is worse than lynching a villager/wolf with content every single day of the week.

    I apologize in advance for my effort this game. I'd be willing to sub out if the mod can find someone better.

    Fwiw I think gabe is a villager and likrascal is a wolf.

    What are we supposed to do with this? You say you think rascal is a wolf but then bold me.

    This ups the quality of the policy lynch, since you also have shown that even though you know the game has started, you're not participating.

    inb4 bid lives to endgame then makes the deciding bold as he says "lollolololl what is even happening". Sadly he's done that as a villager, but fortunately he also has done that as a wolf.

    i dont know the data on it, but i know i do it and ive seen plenty of other people do it. it=wolfs avoiding making posts

    Rong makes a good point here. It's at least the second time Gabe has tried to make something out of nothing.

    Rong looking better and Gabe looking worse IMO.

    i did address this somewhat. when i got home from partying last night i made some ill advised posts. thats what i meant when i said i had to use the ongexcuse. i was too inebriated for the posts i made like 14 hours ago

    regardless most of my werewolf success comes from making something out of nothing

    This one looks like posting to post and is definitely not wolf hunting.

    I don't read Luco that way at all. Luco was disagreeing with Gabe, so he's not following Gabe's line.

    Lots of work to do manually, could be done quicker with decent programming ability. Time is the limiting factor right now.

    Interesting problem though.
    Another post about doing other things instead of wolf hunting.


    I don't think this looks good for Hoopy.

    I must have missed it while looking for the votes. I'll go back and check.

    This chartz should be correct now. I had to correct my spreadsheet for rescinding instead of unvoting.

    After catching up, Wuf looks a little better. Not great, but enough to give him another day.

    anyone else not liking when the day ends? going to be hard for people to be online then which means we have to just leave bolds on people when we go to sleep..

    It's 50-50 if Ill be awake.

    I don't like it. I'd rather EOD be late evening when everyone (or at least most people) can be here.

    I'll be awake, but at work, which makes it difficult for me to post then.

    Rescind OngBonga, lynch JKDS

    Gabe's read is spot on here. Better yet, OngBonga is reading a lot more genuine now.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    This ups the quality of the policy lynch, since you also have shown that even though you know the game has started, you're not participating.

    inb4 bid lives to endgame then makes the deciding bold as he says "lollolololl what is even happening". Sadly he's done that as a villager, but fortunately he also has done that as a wolf.
    this is actually a pretty good post by Wuf here

    it is CLASSIC wolf behavior to go on about "I think Player A is a wolf blah blah blah. Lynch Player B."

    you guys might not like the sort by post count wolf hunting, but I am pretty damn sure you will get a high % of wolves in some sort of combo of bottom half of post count + last to vote.

    i dont hate wuf's reasoning for bid but i dont think we can get enough support together to lynch BID. wuf, pick between jkds/hoopy. i think jkds is a very good pick. i'm also completely fine with hoopy. luco also deserves a look but dont think that will happen today

    id also like to reiterate baudib's angel suggestions

    also i'm not going to vote for ong today. i believe him about spaz calling wuf out as the angel. if he is a wolf i feel good that we can pin him down later

    IIRC around 3:00 PM EST has been a good eod time for UK and US folk. It's evening for UK and midday for US. It is near the end of the most active time. I remember because I'm always gone during it and come back to a ton of new posts, and when I modded I would set up eod for about 5:00 PM EST and it worked well. So if Dhubs wants to change it to that, it would work for most other players.

    I think BID is either now or never. If he doesn't die today I won't be looking to lynch him at any future point. Unless of course he ups his activity, but without that it's regressive to return to a previous day's lynching with just that previous day's rationale. This is the rock and hard place problem we used to always have with some players being such low activity or not paying enough attention and getting to the endgame to breeze by as a wolf or screw the pooch as a villager. We haven't had an inactivity-in-the-endgame busting us up any of the time that Baud has played, because we punished the perpetrators so hard with policy lynches that we stamped the problem out for a while.

    I do not like a JKDS lynch. I agree with most of what he's said so far. I also think he's very readable as games progress.

    My sirens haven't gone off on Hoopy. The last time they did, he was a wolf. I don't really want to say why because I think he could easily exploit that.

    This d1 has been a bit more eventful than some other d1s. That's good, but I think it's important to make sure to not get ahead of ourselves. A JKDS lynch is quite "ahead of ourselves" to me. That said, I'm not going to defend him because whenever I hard defend somebody, I seem to end up with egg on my face. Besides, it isn't that I think he's a villager, but that I don't see reason to think he's a wolf so far. I just know I've never read him other than null on d1.

    I won't be back on till after eod. Muy muchos el luckamos muchachos! Hablo los perfectos espana!

    If this is Wuf's last post of the day it is full of fail in so many ways my head is going to explode:

    1. Wuf is a viable wagon and offers no defense nor even a self-pres vote. GJGE if you're a villager, Wuf.

    2. Wuf is so married to voting inactives on D1 he will not even consider other wolfy behavior even in a D1 which has been very long, featured 446 (!) posts (more than entire games in some past cases) even when he says it has been eventful.

    3. The idea that you can't try to lynch someone you tried to lynch the day before is so mind boggling I can't even comment.

    4. Wuf acts as if I have never seen inactives before. I've seen inactives in almost every game I've ever played. I play in giant mashes where there are typically 3-6 zero posters every day. I've played in a game here where the SEER and Big Red both went AWOL for days and the village won. In fact Big Red being AWOL helped the village win immensely.

    wuf, voting BID is practically a random shot. we can do way better than random!! we have lots of good wolf hunting villagers (you might even be one of them)


    i think i already mentioned that i would be OK with hoopy. but he hasnt done anything specifically that gave me a wolf tell. i see him posting little and not having much substance when he does, but there was not alarm bells for me. jkds gave me alarm bells. rascal also did this in a minor way, but at least he posts his thoughts often and is active in helping the village


    i'm not going to move off jkds. the village is too inactive for me to expect someone might convince me otherwise

    I'm not sure it matters which one we lynch here, the wagons are good and we have other means of dealing with the situation if anything crazy develops in the next 8 hours (lynch through reveal).

    Hoopy, JKDS, Wuf, I suspect you all have a very high chance of not living to D2. If you have anything compelling to offer, now's the time.

    D2 is gonna be amazing. There's a chance I'll refrain from night posting.

    Wolves, I'm coming for you.
