HALL OF QUOTES

Spoiler

TZP seems good at math so I personally nominate him to solve the game

"misquote the art of war so people think you know what youre talking about"
- sun tzu, the art of war

This is my last post. May the almighty BDS have mercy on our souls.

hi wolf, im the PNS!! please tell me who you are in DMs so we can win together, thanks

Guys, I don't think THC was the wolf

Hm. Well, if the wolf does claim to you, do me a solid and send them my way before you off them, pls! I would like to win too ;  ;

Context: Olimar asking A# to send the wolf his way before revealing the wolf publicly, if the wolf claimed to A# first. A# agreed.

I'll explain after I get breakfast

this is quite some breakfast... reveal when

This is truly a breakfast of champions

Gonna assume you're just another human then. Have fun pretending to be me and getting no wolf claims out of it lol.

Context: Toby did not believe Olimar's PNS claim. Olimar did not take that sitting down.

E. Gadd sus
hot damn E. Gadd sus

why did it put it twice :sob:

You are very suspicious of him, which is reasonable. No need to sob XD

me too, im actually still eating yesterdays breakfast

Aight, now that it's night time foos I may comence my plan to aid my beloved wolf-senpai.

does anybody know where magnet is?

Can probably track him down with a magnet of opposite polarity

It's a game of risks, and I've given the wolf-senpai the choice! [...] No matter what they choose, someone WILL die tonight.

Let the chaos ensue! It is all for my beloved wolf-senpai!!

good lord five more pages what the hell is happening

TZP stop reading and just vote Xiao

-Also I have NOT been a nothingburger

So, I'm with TZP irl right now.

If anyone wants me to say anything mean or commit any acts of violence, I'm taking requests.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

From a host's perspective, there were SO MANY tense moments throughout the game, especially toward the end. IMO, the no lynch strategy was hella risky and I'm not sure I would've supported it as a human player. It was less than an hour before the end of the night phase, and neither Specs nor Xiao had submitted a number. It was a genuine possibility that the game could've ended with a double kill if one or both of their numbers randomized the wrong way (though Specs did end up submitting a number in time, Xiao did not—was that intentional?).

Also, humans were ridiculously close to a double or even triple kill Night 1. THC caught a bullet for y'all; if he had picked one number higher, it would've been a triple kill, and if he had picked two numbers higher it would've been a double kill.

[Toby]

Xiao you lied about what number you picked night 1 and 2 and didn't follow the plan 3, or 4 lol

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Xiao you lied about what number you picked night 1 and 2 and didn't follow the plan 3, or 4 lol

I was also very confused about this. I had to re-check my PMs several times to make sure I didn't make a mistake.

[Toby]

someone please explain the PM from Olimar

I can switch it to specs, easy.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

Xiao had it OUT for Olimar lol. Part of the reason I didn't cooperate with Olimar's plan N2 was because I thought he had already hit his win condition. If Xiao was truthful about his number, THC wouldn't have been the one who died, so I assumed Olimar had gotten lucky N1 and switched Xiao away from the number I picked. But apparently not.

And THEN Xiao convinced Olimar to switch MY number for a PNS wolfing but it failed because I was the wolf. Sorry bro--would have been happy to share the win!

[Toby]

I went into the last day really thinking TZP was going to get my vote, but I felt there being too many errors from Xiao that I just couldn't let myself lose to that

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

It's so difficult knowing things after death and then not being able to talk to anyone about it.

I kept seeing ways humans could still theoretically win, but if we're being honest, this game was lost before it even begun. TZP rolling wolf again was just bleh. He's too good at deception and no one suspected him until the end. It looked like a very fun game, though. Shame luck is not my strong suit. Next game I'm in better not be related to luck-based kills.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

but if we're being honest, this game was lost before it even begun.

No way dog, I was on the ropes for the last 72 hours. Toby had my number for sure
Also I'm really sorry I hit you THC

[Toby]

I so wanted to lynch you TZP but Xiao, I feel like you didn't do yourself any favours last day and there were clear mistakes if I lost to I would feel so silly

[Toby]

but TZP you played really well, you kept on bottom of everyone's suspicions. I only started considering you the last day

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Xiao had it OUT for Olimar lol. Part of the reason I didn't cooperate with Olimar's plan N2 was because I thought he had already hit his win condition. If Xiao was truthful about his number, THC wouldn't have been the one who died, so I assumed Olimar had gotten lucky N1 and switched Xiao away from the number I picked. But apparently not.

And THEN Xiao convinced Olimar to switch MY number for a PNS wolfing but it failed because I was the wolf. Sorry bro--would have been happy to share the win!

Interesting! I assumed you were hoping to keep Olimar alive so he could back you up in a final lynch, thus achieving his alternate win condition by being the last human alive.


Also, thank you to everyone who helped make this game as active as it was!!! I had NO idea that the game would ever end up being this active. Apparently it's the third most active TWG, behind TWG XC (hosted by Davy) and TWG LXXII (hosted by Jub3r7).

Another note is that I deliberately tried to write the story so that whoever would be the last human alive would end up being revealed as the protagonist, a responsibility which ended up falling to Toby If the game somehow ended with all humans dead, then it would be revealed that the protagonist was the Head Honcho who had given themselves amnesia. If the game ended with a human win, the Head Honcho would've gotten away but everyone left alive would've been safe. If the PNS had won, there would've been a little "epilogue" wondering why they had been picked as the wildcard player and why they had been spared.

Every story was written at least a few hours ahead of time except the final story (I didn't want to have to write two or three completely different potential versions ), with some sections left blank for modification until the phase actually updated.

[SpecsFlyer17]

Yeah not much suspect of TZP. Looking back, I REALLY shouldn't have been as gung-ho on the "Toby was the only one to benefit for not choosing 50!" logic. I started to pick up on the fact that literally anyone could've seen that. And sure enough, TZP (who's idea it was to begin with) did exactly that. Nice frame. I started to pick up on that, but I got wolfed soon after.

Bad beat on Night One for Olimar. TZP thought he won because Xiao's fake pick claim made him think the PNS had to have met the condition.

Also if THC had picked 75 instead of 74, that would've been a triple kill. He fell on the grenade to 'save' the team.
