Wintermoot - Their picks are too boring to be scum.
What's wrong with a simple, subtle flavour? Not everything has to be an explosion in your mouth to be good.
I like salted caramel, cookies and cream or Oreo flavored ice cream.
Ooo, I like salted caramel in general. I've just never tried it as an ice cream flavour.
1. Yes I have improved a lot since last game. I think (no one take that as a confession)
TGN has improved a lot in general since the last game. We're very proud of him.
Considering that would ruin the lore I've carefully crafted for this game, your request for peaceful ice cream talk has been denied and replaced instead with violent pie pelting.
Have we done an icebreaker on ice cream flavours though? Might be a good idea.
Ok, time for some actual thoughts. First I will point out that I am not a huge fan of publicly giving town core and town lean reads. Those of you who have read either of my WC games at MU will note that I've made the same argument in both seasons that I played there. If we all, or a majority of us, say that we think X and Y are the most townie in our opinions it just paints a great big bullseye on their backs. I realize that it's easy to get a feel for how some people view others, but still think it's a bad idea to just come right out and say that I find someone lock town. At least early in the game. That can definitely change in the latter stages when there's a lot more to go on than we have in the first few days. That being said, I won't be giving a list breaking down my thoughts on everyone. My win condition, as town, is to identify and eliminate the entire scum team. Personally I find it easier to look for scum than to try town reading enough people to passively find the scum, if that makes sense. Basically what I'm getting at is that for the first few days at least I'm only likely to point out things that I find scummy, or that hit me wrong for whatever reason. It's a strategy that has served me well over the years and I don't see any reason to abandon it at this point.
I didn't really sleep well last night, and got less than 3 hours total, so I'm pretty wiped out and apologize if this rambles or isn't as clear as I would like it to be. I'm also too tired to try and figure out the multi-quote mechanics here so I won't be quoting a bunch of different posts in order to make my case tonight. I'll try to figure that bit out when I'm better rested.
Please get more sleep...I read about your health struggles, and beyond getting treatment the best thing you can do to have the best outcome is good diet, exercise, reduce stress, and SLEEP!!
Yes, I can be a bit of a mother hen.
I identify with what you're saying though about read lists, especially on the first day. I don't understand how anyone can really tell if someone is town or wolf on the first day without grasping at straws anyways, which is probably why usually nobody was voted off the first day in Wintreath's early games. And there's just so much casual stuff to sort through (my post isn't helping with this I know)...as the days go on we can at least hope that there'll be more of substance to go on.
Otherwise I think your post is the most insightful so far (though I still have like 15 pages to read through), so thank you for that.
I think Aerso scum-reading NoName for using an alt could be a cultural thing. In 10KI no-one has ever played with alts during our entire WW history.
That being said, NoName being an alt isn't scummy. People like getting away from their meta - also as town - just to try something new. And of course to avoid being read exclusively on meta if that was a previous issue.
Other than one time when the host was also a player, it's the first time it's happened in Wintreath as well. I think alts in general are just looked down upon in NationStates communities because of the possibility of spies, people looking to subvert the government, or people trying to get around bans. However, I've talked with Laurentus about the issue and I can understand why using alts would be beneficial in Werewolf, especially for players who tend to get typecasted and scanned or voted off first thing in the game.
Good to know I'm not the only person who has been having trouble using multiquote.
I've noticed a few people having problems with multiquote. Could you guys elaborate? I'll look into it.
