WW 31 Game Thread PARANOIA

[Lewwyn]

Finger of suspicion on Lewwyn for defensiveness, attributing other peoples attacks on him to me, and tone-reading me based on a whopping two posts.

I have, in the past, correctly picked out scum by their first two votes in several games. So nyah.

I actually think first posts can be the most revealing.

[Lewwyn]

@Bob:
There is an unknown computer putting votes in who would lynch someone anyway.


Old Harry just reads as Old Harry to me. Which means I agree with Ichabod. But since I'm already voting for catwalk there is no need to change it anyway.

Serdoa does sound like Serdoa and yes the strangebness of zaks post was not lost on me. Could also be done to get other people offering the same thing so that scum knows who won't use a PR during night 1 and have it easier to block any villagerroles. So zakalwe is my Nr 2 right now.

Like this post even if I disagree with Rowain about Zak.

[Lewwyn]

I dont like the bandwagon on MJW.

Me niether.

[Lewwyn]

Too clarify I haven't seen anything MJW out of place and I think the votes on him could be either reaction village votes or hide-y votes by scum.

Okay, I thought Catwalk's and Old Harry's explanation to assuming Zak and Azarius are town was along the line of my own thinking, that if Lewwyn is scum, he wouldn't call out his scum buddies like that. They did quote my post, after all. I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to just say that yeah, this is why I assumed they were town. But Catwalk did not do that, he avoided the question and says it doesn't matter. It's a pretty subtle thing, but I think a townie would just answer it truthfully, while scum might be more inclined to do what Catwalk did so that they don't have to lie about it.

Say what now?

If Jowy starts making sense and contributing in a significant way, he's scum. So don't worry about it Catwalk.

Which part of it did you not understand, Lewwyn?
I could take a go at dumbing it down for you two.

[Catwalk]

or at the very least call me an imbecile. I'm actually a little hurt by that

It's been a while since we played WW. We have some guests in the thread(sunrise), and I'm trying to be more Zen again. If people think this is a scum tell, then I'm establishing a new village baseline.

Lewwyn... this is just not right. You and me go back a long way, you can't just pretend we never happened. I wrote you a song to explain just how deeply this is affecting me.

[Catwalk]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said I was a scumbag who should die
You told the world I was a nobody
But felt so lost without my company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of trolling
You like to rain on my parade, on your trolling raids
So when I found out you did not make sense
And you were acting like a bar room wench
I had to let you go and say.. it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like you never trolled me and that you're not a freak
And I don't even need tough love
But you treat me like a newbie and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends face rape my profile with a picture of dogs
I guess that I don't need that though
Now I'm just somebody that you used to troll

Now I'm just somebody that you used to troll
Now I'm just somebody that you used to troll

[Lewwyn]
Now and then I think of all the times I screwed you over
I had you believing it was always something that you'd done
But I don't wanna play that way
Trolling into every word you say
I'm saying I can let it go
And I'll play nice like we're best friends and I never tried to make you cry

[Catwalk]
But you could at least have flipped me off
Made out with me (all no homo) and then toss me away
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like I'm Qg and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to seem so nice
Making comments without telling me to die in a fire
I guess I'm getting past that, though
Now you're just another troll I used to know

[x2]
Just a troll
(I used to know)
Little troll
(Now you're just another troll I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Just a troo-ooo-ooollll

[Lewwyn]

Ok, finally caught up after Safety Day, lunch, and a bit of a personnel fire. The figurative fire was ironic on Safety Day.

Reading everything it seems mostly the same Day 1 forced analysis I find the least fun part of the game. The Old Harry page 7 (default) post jumped out at me the most while reading and then re-reading it, and several others have criticized it, but I don't want to add a vote since as Ichabod says above it's easy for people to jump onto a low hanging bandwagon.

I'm going to vote MJW for now over

People with strong power-roles like seer or vig should feel free to target me because of my role.

I understand he's just trying to imply his own role, but I don't think I like the active fishing for power roles and my sense is revealing/implying one's own power role helps scum more than town.

My only other thought is we have three Bonus Role people with useful 'active abilities.' - Merovech who locks down someone else at night, Old Harry who follows someone, and then Serdoa who gives items. Does anyone have experience with public active abilities like this? Is the best strategy, at least early, to just select secretly?

The post meanders, is conversation, excuses, votes MJW for something that is very tame of MJW and explained pretty incorrectly. Who thinks this actually implies MJW's role? Could be newby village, could be faked newby scum. I think we wait to let him see another sunrise before deciding. But definitely suspicious.

If anyone wants to sing along, there's a good karaoke version here

I meant to record it, but apparently my computer sucks terribly. Unlike Friend Computer.

[Lewwyn]

Well Played.

[Ryan]

Like the bandwagon on MJW is expected since on our first day we focus on a random target that ppl think wont be influential to the game :P or a newbie.
