Because I am encouraging people to play? Instead of raging at them to vote? Don't get this at all and I don't think it is a good look. Throwing sus about for the sake of it doesn't help anyone. Not on Town anyway.

Not even close to being correct. Gifs show what the poster wants to, or tries to, show, not the tone of their language and their subconscious cues. Gifs do not have subtext. Gifs do not have personality. Better than the written word? My flabber is well and truly ghasted. They are literally communication by cookie cutter. Man, I am so annoyed right now, lol. Gifs? FLUFFING GIFS ARE BETTER THAN WORDS?!?! At communicating emotion? Ah, I need to go lie down in a dark room for a bit, lmfao. I've never complained about DPR's play before? You must have missed that game then? I mean, we are all entitled to our opinions, but dude, seriously? I need to go read my favourite book, the Wheel of GIFS by Robert Fluffface to calm down.

I'm 100% sure it is. But that doesn't answer what you are prioritizing spending time on. You are giving off very sus vibes. If you are town, it would be great when you have a moment if you could work on that.

I'm just encouraging you to share your thoughts. It is not just about letting us see your thought process but about adding to the material that everyone can build on. Plus it makes any inconsistencies more readily apparent. Like, you know, someone saying they aren't sharing their thoughts and saying they are. Just as a wild example 😛

Bah, *my instincts* I meant to say. Honestly if I could use someone else's I would.

Wait, what? You're sheeping other people so that clears Ithi? I don't follow this argument at all. I think it has been established that a good player - and Ithi in particular - can hoodwink the majority of the game. Giving her a free pass as she has convinced other people seems incredibly trusting. Now to be clear, I'm leaning town on Ithi but this seems spectacularly lazy and bad reasoning not to suspect someone. Maybe that is just me *shrugs* never claimed to be any good at this but instincts are all I have to go on. *adds Ithi and Shad back to the keep at arm's length list"

If you have scum leans, why are voting for a policy instead? Why are you not discussing your reads? Why are you not justifying your vote? Why are you instead of any of these things trying to score points against Ithi about who has the worst case, especially when you say you have a scum lean on who she is voting for? The only reasons you have given for your suspicions that I can see is activity, though you also have other reads according to you that you haven't shared. How is your play helping town aside from pointing out inactivity is bad? You may well be struggling for time, but what is your justification for what you are spending your time on?

Certainly not, that should say, sorry.

Your voting for her because of her behaviour last game. Ithi is pointing out parallels and themes that Sinister has used in both games. I think there is a meaningful distinction there, and I don't really understand you taking one-line potshots instead of hunting wolves. Certainly you are defending yourself, or defending your case, or giving your reads. Ithi has given a ton of reasoning on Sinister and fairly broad reads on the whole game. You seem to be voting Tigs on policy or because she was a wolf last game, neither of which seem very convincing to me. Unless you have more to go on?

I don't think pushing for vites just for the sake of votes is a good thing, but pushing people to play definitely is. We need to know what is on people's minds even details about null reads, about uncertainties. That info allows people to form reads and respond to them which allows reads on the responses and so on. Keeping thoughts to yourself, discussing non-game issues, memeing, make everything more difficult for town. For example, Gudrean, you were defending an attack on Teph. Is this because you think he is town? For what reasoning? Do you think the criticism was wolf motivated? Or was it a dry, I'm taking this point out of context so I'm not leaning town or mafia on anyone. Everyone can of course play however they want, but sharing thoughts and interacting with others are pro-town moves, IMHO at least. At the moment Gudrean you seem a bit removed from the thread, unwilling to share your thoughts and that is suspicious. Plus to reach a hammer we don't want to leave it too late to start trains as that would make it too easy for the wolves to dictate which elimination options there are, as I see it. So no one must vote, hut the later you leave it the less meaningful choice you will have, and the less chance your vote will pressure someone into doing something if there are already established trains you don't like.

Just to give my thoughts on the gif "spam". I think they are spam and deflection. I totally get that is not necessarily how they are meant, but even if someone is posting the "I don't believe you" meme to convey exactly that, it is impossible to read tone, to judge sincerity, to get a feel of the poster. It's like wearing a mask and playing a message recorded by someone else. It adds the bare minimum to the conversation, so looks like coasting to me. In this instance, Ithi said it was because it was night, though in this case it was a rather special night. Also many have pointed out it was game related, but I don't think it was contributing in the real sense of the word. Not at least if that is your only contribution, which obviously for Ithi it wasn't, but then it becomes a judgement call of how much is too much?

Maybe just keep going? Though I'm not averse to more lore.

It is strange reasoning. Like I get asking for reads, I asked Shad for a read of you as I was feeling iffy about you both at that point and getting more info about your thoughts on each other can help resolve that. But Gud says nothing has happened and asks you who should she be potentially suspicious of. That seems all kinds of backwards. Why would you thinking I'm sus, for example, help if nothing has happened? Seems strange. I blame DPR for asking for lists, lol, blasted pirates.

I like Leelou's vote (obviously) refreshingly decisive, though more raisining would be good other than the undoubtedly true awkwardness. Raisins, people, raisins. We live and die by raisins. I'm gonna get more coffee and consider putting pants on.

So I'm going to have to get used to disappointment? Such an obvious wolf, lol. Yeah, the mechanics discussions are awkward. You don't want to give them any ideas but also if you leave out an obvious play that could look forced and awkward to other people. So.... Yeah, just don't do mechanics, kids.

Gud is slanking like a slanky slanker. Not the only one, but it would be good to have input other than questions about the setup/mechanics. I want to know your feelsies, even your tentative initial thoughts would be good.

Shad has improved a lot in my eyes. Saying sensible stuff. Not sure if that is actually AI but definitely feel a lot better now and his posts taste of Town when licked. No more implying stuff but what feels like totally sincere discussion.

Morning Ithi 🙂

I would like to see more from Ithi about other players. Her "I saw one thing and I'm pushing that to the exclusion of all else" would feel a little too similar to last game. It also means there would be nothing to get a read on except that one wolf read, and everyone can be wrong about a D1 wolf read. That said I like her reasoning mostly, but my read is thrown by her antagonistic style. Will go with a town lean for now, though not without suspicions.

Sinister confuses me. The whole lightning rod thing makes him the centre of the conversation. With Darthe's read list I didn't notice Sinister wasn't on it, and if I had, I wouldn't have cared. Too easy a mistake to make, too little implication. So the claim that this now is the basis for everything that happening and the death of Darthe just seems totally wild. And while it would be easy to say, this is totally not wolf behaviour, we know Sinister can play like this as a wolf, though possibly it is actually NAI. I want to say Sinister is TWTBAW, yet that was my gut feeling last time. About the only the thing I feel a little good about is that Sinister feels a bit more rattled this time than last when he was chill Pete the cat, or whatever that was. Though that might be because this game he has Ithi on his case, lol. I can can see that disconcerting a lot of people.

VOTE TEPH I'm not a big fan of his vote, but we'll see how that pans out - either it is a prod to encourage activity or an elimination attempt. If the latter, don't approve at this point. Not keen on his "that's what a wolf would say" posts that don't really count as wolf hunting to me. Has been awkward in the thread, seems to be trying to coast rather than play. I'm not definitely convinced, but I would like to see reads and reasoning to get a better "feel". Asking other players to be more active and being reactive with one liners just seems like trying to go under the radar too much.

That isn't very fair. I'm sussing Shad for making lots of posts I don't like, in particular with you is not that he was sussing you, but that he was "accusing" you of bussing Darthe (so last game) which was sussing you without actually sussing you. That was point. It was the sus without any content. I think you are pretty sus all in all, it is just that doesn't mean that you aren't being targetted as low hanging fruit. But we have time to see how things progress, it is very early doors so far.

Plus remember, I'm incredibly shy and non-confrontational. Here I have to be mean and call people liars and everything. This is probably as natural as I get.

Shad, Ithi and Teph? But we only find out if we eliminate them all? Though Shad calling me Town is obviously top class play, so maybe we can drop him out of the suspect list, lol. This is me concentrating. And past my bedtime, possibly. Maybe I should have some warm milk.

But does help not being dead. I am quite sure that er, well, sure is maybe going a bit far, but fairly sure Dice said in our first game here that he policy eliminated anyone that stated they were a wolf due past experiences. And your reply absolutely does not relate to the point at discussion. *scratches head*
