the "i lose" awards go to davy, NocturneOfShadow, E. Gadd Industries, BrainyLucario, ThatHiddenCharacter, and mastersuperfan. congrats humans you guys lose.

the "noc death (aka day 1 insta)" award goes to ThatHiddenCharacter. congrats on that woo go you.

the "i cost everyone the game" award goes to mastersuperfan. don't feel bad though, you helped others win so

the "overachiever" award goes to BlackDragonSlayer for trying to wolf E. Gadd Industries after the game was supposed to have ended:

Wolf E. Gadd, I guess?

and finally, winner of the "nothing special™" award is davy for not capitalizing things the most. way to go, you.

tfw when you metaread BDS like a champ but you screw up and still want to go for E Gadd

[BrainyLucario]

E. Gadd you didn't betray my trust!! Thank you!!

[mastersuperfan]

wow

okay

that was a game

[Trasdegi]

Here's what happened in my mind with that insta:I posted the "don't insta", just after I remembered than bds already voted, so counted again how much players were left to be sure to win and it was 19 seconds too late....

[BlackDragonSlayer]

tfw when you metaread BDS like a champ but you screw up and still want to go for E Gadd

No you didn't. Me being less active and posting like I did was completely separate from the fact I was a wolf. I told you, I've done the exact same thing as a human before and been called out as a wolf for it.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Congratz, BDS & Tras!

And @Olimar, I did learn something: NEVER SAY YOU'RE BUSY IN A TWG GAME BECAUSE THEN YOULL BE MISREAD BY EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER

[mikey]

No you didn't. Me being less active and posting like I did was completely separate from the fact I was a wolf. I told you, I've done the exact same thing as a human before and been called out as a wolf for it.

your activity had nothing to do with it

like apparently you don't realize this but there's a notable difference in tone between wolf and human for you

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Again, I have done the exact same thing before as a human and been called out as a wolf.

This was fun to watch. When I got wolf'd night 1 I immediately suspected that either BDS or Noc was one of the wolves because they would be most aware of the manti rule (Brainy or E. Gadd could have done it as well, but I doubted it). I'm pretty sure noc knew that as well, which is why he told MSF that BDS was most likely a wolf if he died. The fact that Noct was wolf'd after me made me very suspicious of BDS, and I applaud humans for not letting BDS steamroll the rest of the players after he got rid of the more experienced players (since players did let that happen last time that BDS was a wolf). Trasdegi got a little bit too eager with his wolf rush, and MSF should have realised that he was making an obvious wolf vote, and I feel like MSF should have tried to convince E. Gadd and Brainy to vote for Tras. THC, I hope you enjoyed the game despite being lynched day one. Day one lynches are usually not the best lynches and if you are human, it can really suck to be the first to get lynched.

Overal I was surprised how close humans came to victory, since I felt this game was a little wolf-sided, so good job humans.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

I'm not mad. I did act very suspicious. It's just in my nature. I act very suspicious when I'm under a lot of pressure, even if I'm not whatever people are thinking I am. But that was a very fun game and fun to watch after I died, too.

Gadd could have done it as well, but I doubted it). I'm pretty sure noc knew that as well, which is why he told MSF that BDS was most likely a wolf if he died.

I did not choose the final Night 1 wolfing (and, in fact, would've probably forgotten to send one in if it weren't for Tras; yes, I actually was busy, surprise surprise). I offered Tras the choice between you, Noc, and E. Gadd, and he chose you. It's my (patented? I'm one of the only people I know who expressly does that strategy on a regular basis) method of rendering the "Well player X obviously would've been the only person to choose player Z for the wolfing!" logic that I hate, moot (though do people really care?). Half the time, that type of reasoning doesn't even make any sense anyway.

The fact that Noct was wolf'd after me made me very suspicious of BDS, and I applaud humans for not letting BDS steamroll the rest of the players after he got rid of the more experienced players (since players did let that happen last time that BDS was a wolf).

Noc was the only obvious wolfing; if we had wolfed anybody but Noc, that would mean we would've had to deal with an illogical wildcard who could've just as easily gone against us or with us despite any and all available reasoning one would expect from the "average" player in a similar position. I had wanted to get a Day 1 Noc lynch going, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. The only person I considered wolfing was MSF, but I trusted that whatever MSF did, he'd at least go about it semi-logically. Both Brainy and E. Gadd didn't really present themselves in a favorable light together, especially during that last phase. If everything went completely wrong Day 1 (I mean like, imagine the worst case scenario for the wolves), my strategy would've been to bus Tras. Sorry!

Also, yeah, that has happened at least once before. IIRC, that might've been the game where I convinced Brainy to vote for the person I wanted him to even though it was painfully obvious I was the wolf at that point. Sooo...

Trasdegi got a little bit too eager with his wolf rush

I don't think he was eager enough, actually. I probably should've PM'd him saying something like "As soon as MSF votes, vote for Brainy!" but I was fairly busy, and I forgot.

I did not choose the final Night 1 wolfing (and, in fact, would've probably forgotten to send one in if it weren't for Tras; yes, I actually was busy, surprise surprise).

Half the time, that type of reasoning doesn't even make any sense anyway.

I think it is a bad think to render logic based on the wolfing moot. Just like voting patterns, it is far from an absolute way of determining who is a wolf, it is also far from useless to get an idea of who the wolves might be. Even in your list of wolf targets, you left out the three newest human players, and had Tras chosen to wolf Noct, I would also be suspicious of you. Could you tell me what your reasoning was for chosing these three players as potential night 1 wolf targets?

I have to say though, I wouldn't expect Tras to choose me out of that list, he hasn't even played a game with me before. Trasdegi, what was your reason for wolfing me night 1 over noct or E. Gadd?

@Davy (can't isolate quotes right now)

See, that's exactly my point. Most of the times, analyzing the Night 1 wolfing boils down to pure speculation. You said you would have been just as suspicious had Noc been the target, but that wouldn't make any sense, both for the fact I already mentioned (responsibility for the wolfing does not fall on me alone), and the fact that, unless you've observed that a certain player literally refuses to wolf a certain player (IIRC, something Mashi and a few of the LLF veterans do), that leave any wolfing open to any player, except in very, very specific circumstances (especially because it's rare that one wolf is making the decision alone). Otherwise, your logic doesn't really make any sense at all.

I don't exactly remember the exact reasons I chose you three, but maybe because it was that I figured you three would probably never be lynched or something? I don't know.
