Sorceror 17er Game Thread

[Cape90]

I'm struggling to parse Cape simultaneously making a wall post about avatar reads and throwing suspicion on people for jokey posts on the first page and a half. Could be wolfy fake suspicion that doesn't flow well or could just be a villager making a shift in seriousness quickly. Maybe someone else has a better take on it.

I kinda more read Zack's post as a half-joke, I thought it was trying to be real content without actually being real content.

The second part on Sleep/katze was obviously me goofing.

The katze read I made about their long post is the most concrete thing I have right now.

Sunbae also had concerns about my Mont thing and I feel like I put it well in my post. It is just something that I would expect people to shade Mont for even though I would disagree with their suspicions but I would still expect someone to point it out as potentially suspicious or whatever. There has hardly been talk around it in the first place.

I agree with Sunbae's take on Zack/Newcomb for the time being.

Guess I should mention the accusation that I am not adjusting to the game well or whatever. And the answer is pretty simple

It was early on in the game and I wanted to get the content train keeping on steaming down the tracks. As it turns out, it worked, it got people talking about me and stuff. Funny how that works, it's not like I was gonna be lighthearted and jovial all game, I'm kinda a tryhard who doesn't like to have fun after a chunk of time has passed

[katze]

I think this is the part where I'm supposed to say something like, "Katze's the kind of player who lacks the testicular fortitude to poke at me like this as a wolf."



Vote: Katze

if you had said that i'd probably have thought it was wolfy because it's patently untrue and while i don't think we've played together i'd expect you to still know that

your move, friend

i swore i'd never get peacock after nbc took office off netflix but we got it free/part of a package recently and man oh man, while i love gilmore girls as much as the next guy, its still really nice to have michael scott back in my bedroom on demand every night

[Newcomb]

To expand on that:

I think katze falls into a group of players in this list - a relatively small one - whose experience with me falls into a range of "mostly recent-ish MU games" where they'd be likely to have internalized the fact that I pretty frequently give people town passes for poking at me in a way that I think a lot of wolves would be afraid to. Internalized it to the extent where it'd be ~somewhat likely that they'd think it was a decent approach to me as a wolf.

I also think Kat's treatment of my slot has felt way way more like poking / drawing attention than any kind of inquisitiveness / genuine sorting.

[Cape90]

Feel like #90 makes it more wolfy than not, doubling down on that just seems more bad than awkward, which is what I thought of it initially.

Wanted to say on the subject of that post #90, it's probably NAI for me and I would make the post as either alignment

carry on

[Zack]

- sunbae's opener just seemed fake 2 me, in every game I've played with him as a villager he made a big effort going out of his way to leave PR cover, and while that doesn't really matter in this setup, it still struck me as out of character. *Sunbae* didn't even bother reading a setup before reading a bunch of posts in the actual game?

- I thought ender had easily the most fry-worthy start and Cape looks more like "villager who gets misyeeted" than an actual wolf to me. Sunbae ignored all ender discourse afaict, and has railed against Cape a good amount and even tried to tie him to Monty as w/w on what seemed like a big stretch to me. Just doesn't make me feel good.

[Cape90]

felt like they were going down a script and nothing goes anywhere

particularly got pinged by the "is there anyone here i'd know by a different name" question but it's for dumb and potentially unfair reasons

meta is unfair

im not reading into cape being an arete wrt joke awareness and am waiting for them to be cape90 instead

aret aret

[Cape90]

i do not get what u find wolfy about any of those

I second not knowing.

Did you ever explain the townping on Montmorency?

afaik we've never played together (you did mentor me in a game once tho) and you're someone i more know based off of reputation than anything

and i think ur pretty weaksauce so far, this post included

is it rude to say that even if this was truly a joke, it wasn't funny, and therefore is wolfy?

[katze]

I second not knowing.

it had to do with his first post talking about a mafia role, they said they thought as mafia that kind of discussion would go in wolfchat instead

[Cuthillius]

what does the bolded mean

i'm talking about the way you're playing with orientation to other people

there's a blurry line between "feels alone" and "would feel somewhat alone as a wolf slash not comfortable enough with partners that they still think/talk/act in a way that's somewhat separate from the rest of the group"

[Zack]

lol this post is 100% gonna rustle newcomb's jimmies, the classic "I've never played with you but based on reputation I'm underwhelmed" post

I would have been shocked if newcomb as a villa didn't take the first half of d1 fairly easy, fwiw. The posts he's made so far are either NAI or lightly towny imo (and the one you just quoted was actually pretty good iyam)

i have a second wolf read i will not be disclosing at this point in time

[Sunbae]

Zack, do I need to spend effort discussing specifics in response to that or is this just a "bad vibes but we'll see how it shakes out" thing?

[Cuthillius]

i think monstr might be in the category of people who approach mafia in a similar enough way to me as wolves in particular that i have a hard time actually figuring him out

i don't know who else is in that category off the top of my head but monstr is that's for sure

[Sleep]

I still haven't gotten peacock either. I canceled my netflix shortly after they took The Office away. I've been watching community and scrubs reruns on Prime Video while going to sleep lately. Sometimes hop on Disney+ to rewatch a pirates movie or something but I think I'm not gonna renew that one when it runs next month. There's just too many streaming services now :pensive:

[Zack]

just wanted to say on the topic of that wallpost thing though. It felt like an almost genuine attempt at doing something with the early posts while my wall was literally not at all

people have callled this post wolfy and I want to reiterate that I actually found it pretty towny

I think a wolf would recognize that after the initial shade thrown on my joke-post and seeing my response to it, any further shade thrown on the post was (1) very clearly not going to get any traction (which it didn't) and (2) probably going to draw ire from others (which it did). There's really no purpose to a wolf making such a post? It does nothing and looks bad

it makes more sense to me as something Cape genuinely thought "you know what, actually no I DO think there was something here" even if I disagree with the reasoning entirely (it was in no way a genuine attempt at anything other than humor).

[katze]

I would have been shocked if newcomb as a villa didn't take the first half of d1 fairly easy, fwiw. The posts he's made so far are either NAI or lightly towny imo (and the one you just quoted was actually pretty good iyam)

im not closed to the idea of this (bolded) but as of right now i'm not going to ignore the pings i'm getting because "he might be a villager taking it easy" either so

if i think he's townier later in the day i will concede as such, if i do not then i'll continue expressing my distaste of his posts

the post quoted is ~fine~; i think it leans NAI personally - the "i think katze falls into a group of players" bit specifically is approximately true and isn't a revelation nor an evaluation of my alignment in the current game but i don't think in that context (me basically pushing him off of reputation) that criticism is AI

[Zack]

idk what this means

Zack, do I need to spend effort discussing specifics in response to that or is this just a "bad vibes but we'll see how it shakes out" thing?

your call chief

(also it's nice to post in a game with a functional multi-quote system that isn't rage-inducing. MU )

[Sunbae]

Let me rephrase that. Are you attempting to talk to me about my alignment or is this a follow up to the conversation with Benneh?

[Sunbae]

I thought I had left my life of piracy back when netflix and amazon prime video had basically everything but i might have to dust the ol hat off again now that its netflix/prime/disney/peacock/paramount/starz just to get started

I would not dare converse with you in anything other than the highest quality Spongebob gifs
