Aftercare

Me too. He let me know he had a good birthday last week and was actually able to enjoy his day. He misses us too, I think he will be back in some time. Just has a lot of real life relationships to work through right now. Doesn't seem spouse related, I'm leaning more toward family troubles. In any case, he knows we're in his corner rooting for him and will be here for him when he gets back.

I went to find the post when I was instigated and died.

Jawneh has been killed by the town. Jawneh was the Doctor.
Tubby23 has lost their partner in crime! Tubby23 has fled the village forever. Tubby23 was the Shadow Wolf.
So... the only hope then is to kill Ben or Kut and out there is an instigator.

NO ONE is talking about the solo killer at this point. It's clearly not the serial killer or corruptor, sopeople SHOULD be talking about instigator and arsonist and if I recall, arsonist is the only one even brought up. Town is just failing hardcore sadly...

Thanks for the update. I am glad he's doing ok.

Yeah my worry as a townie would be that the Arsonist has 400 people doused.

Two per night. So for every night that goes by they could kill the night number x 2
So, they could have 6 right now. And that means the arsonist could feasibly win tomorrow. So, it would be in the best interest of the town and wolves to find and KILL the SK at this point for FEAR of the arso. Thefact NO ONE is considering this should be the red flag. Plus, the arso would likely have pulled the trigger by now to make it a VERY small game thus far. So if I were playing, this would have been my focus... it's hard watching NO ONE talk about it. Wolf OR Town. The SK is a real threat in this game and neither side thinks "well, this is the point in the game we need to work together" lol
 
I was hoping Benzine was going to be able to see through it but he doesn't get involved enough sometimes to see. The town was caught up on a fake red read, and when I mentioned TD being the solo killer, quite literally nobody picked up on that ever again. The instigator really has the ability to confuse the entire town.

Anyone ever see the show Dark? I picture TD being Adam right now. He knows every damn move to make. He controls the next move. He can see the end. :umm

OH HELL NO FUCKIN SHORTKUT TD GARBAGE I FUCKSI9UDZHFUKJYSEZDUHFBKUYSWEDHFBKUWESJHFBKUWSIEJDFHBNKSWIEURJHFGISKUYFBSIKUDEJHFKISLUHRDFGNLIDSUJRHFGNOL;IDKRJFGO;IEDRJHO;IDTHFTHJFTJTURFTURFJTFTFFTJ

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Christ.

🍻 We were so close to getting the plan off, but fuckin SHORTKUT DIDN'T SWITCH VOTES AND NOW I KNOW WHY
Hahahaha I laughed until I cried reading this. But yeah, that's exactly how I felt too. I knew there was no Cupid so I didn't even think about a wolf being on another team. Took me COMPLETELY off guard.

So, would you all rather have instigator backstabs or cupid backstabs?
I mean, obviously I'm not happy with how this turned out for me this game, but it's also been incredibly entertaining.

TD is so obviously guilty. Incredibly so. What the heck.
Yeah? What makes you think so? Nobody alive seems to think he's evil.

@Kat This makes sense why shortkut didn't want me to be the one to out you. He stole the sacrifice play to make himself look better to the town. He didn't have to bother convincing TD, who would likely be the hardest to convince. TD loves using SS as the move. They both did and it worked, and made you the fall person. Lots of big brain planning going on this game.
Yep. I thought he just really wanted to be involved in a sacrifice play because he'd mentioned before he wanted to but nobody would ever agree (which presumably means he wanted to do the sacrificing). I did have tingles of "something isn't right", but I don't know him that well and I just assumed there was no way he could be a threat, so I didn't give it further consideration.

@Kat They waited for you to switch your avenge target to someone not them, Alu ended up being perfect. They had concrete plans way before we did.
You think so? I think they made plans in response to our plans. Either way, it was well played.

BTW I loved Raine telling everyone who she would shoot today, because that provides information. If she's left alive, probably the wolves want her to shoot TD. If she gets killed, probably the village should look really hard at the person who she said she was gonna shoot.
Too bad the town NEVER considers why somebody was picked to die. But I also think she wouldn't have actually shot him after his read checked out.

I think a lot of people are playing with a knot in their stomach in this game because something is off but nobody knows what. It's not until you read this thread that the knot goes away.

@Raine you seein' this shit? Did you have your "no fuckin way" moment yet?
Yeah, seriously. No way TD just happens to read two evils on the first night. Between that and Kut being a bit weird, I felt something was up, but I didn't have any idea what until I read this thread


I like all the talk of only TD would pull these aggressive moves as a wolf. The plus side of me almost never being evil is nobody knows how I play it. The downside is I've had this plan for ages and I really think it would've worked if not for TD immediately ruining everything. >=|

I think there have only been two nights, haven't there? And with all the death on day one, there was a good chance of taking out at least one doused target.

I do agree it's weird nobody is talking about the solo roles.

I don't think it's so much ONLY TD plays this aggressively, but he's easily the most active of all of us, so in these situations, it's really easy for him to drive a narrative because of how often he's vocal. He seldom if ever plays passive. It's because he's smart and knows that controlling the narrative is the way to win in these games. The flip side is that it SHOULD make him a target every game (and usually does). This game again proves that TD is dangerous if left alive if evil. The issue is when he's a townie because he's the most valuable townie too. But when he's bad, he's REALLY good, so he needs to be dealt with.

On that note, he always seems to pull a Spirit Seer card, and so I, for one, ALWAYS flag him as sus as soon as he claims it.

This links to what I just said, it's because TD is controlling narrative. He IS the SK so he's pushing the narrative AWAY from it and focusing everyone on "finding the wolves."

TD has been giving off baddie vibes. I haven't been considering if he still is after I died though. Maybe he's more believable now and is winning the town over.

Plus I never believed his SS story that came late. That compounded with the back and forth between him and Tommy was too fishy.

Too bad the town NEVER considers why somebody was picked to die. But I also think she wouldn't have actually shot him after his read checked out
Then again, the lady with the gun is an obvious threat too, so why not? Even if you say who you'd kill, you could be using the power of gun to vibe check and change your mind the day after. But definitely you can use that to bring a case against TD somewhat easily.

Maaan, I knew shenanigans were afoot! Absolutely didn't have Instigator on my radar though, too much flying by the seat and juggling too much. :chuckle

@Raine who were you planning on shooting?
I'm a firm believer that waving the gun around is more effective than just shooting.

I was leaning towards shortkut (hence the vote), but it really depended on what TD said to me if I was left alive. Especially after you came up as "Regular" Werewolf.

Fun fact: I was going to shoot you for posting that Joe Biden gif because I thought it would be hysterical, but then that tomfoolery with Jawneh happened. :chuckle

There was a little dream I had that there was a hidden medium that could bring me back to life and whatever the cost was, I was going to shoot you back @Raine . For the memes. Though I was going to frame it is "petty is what petty does" lol.
But I shot you also because YOU WERE GOING TO UN-MATERIALIZE ME last game, buster! :tease

Fair, fair. I did indeed do that. You had to go though since the wolves were quivering. I wasn't one to let the puppies live in fear.

But... It also would've been a fairly interesting duo if one of us had shot someone else first and the other followed suit soon after. Two guns out in the open day 1. There would've been many fun things to do with that.

1) I dunno. There was basically nothing I could do this game to help in any way. So I guess I'd die faster

2) believing the reads so quickly and shooting Jawneh, especially since Benzine very shortly after said he was joking
Mere sacrificial pawn. Zero self worth shown. Sign of compassion towards my untimely demise is much appreciated. Appears to be one to live for others than themself.

Many thanks Mr... Whatever your name is. Check marks on my list always made me feel better about the day. Even in death it seems.


Next up we have one @Tommy Boy . @Tommy Boy ? Has anyone seen a @Tommy Boy ? Would the real slim @Tomm...

No, do NOT finish that sentence. There's time for humor, but not during work hours. Keep your professionalism up front at all times. Death is no excuse. The ache in my jaw that still lingers from when the boss lady cracked it should be the only reminder to never try such things. "Say things like that again and I'll crush every single funny bone in your body" she said. Words to take to heart. Sometimes your outwardly image is greater than the collection of mushy insides.

*Ahem* Like I was saying, @Tommy Boy , the questioner is here. I feel you are able to find the questions fine. You appear to be a resourceful little lad.

Q1: If you could do something different, 20/20 and all, what would that be?
I would not go so aggressively at TD, and question shortkut on why he insisted on being the person to reveal Kat when I could pose as a legit Aura Seer the entire duration of the game. I would also have brought up TD being SK more than once, with the town and with the wolves.

Q2: What is the biggest missplay currently in the land of living? Without spoiling anything using otherworldly information
Not questioning the existence of SK.

Those are both good picks.

Surely Benzine watched Raine last night, right? So he'd have Kut's name as a wolf. It'll be interesting to see what happens once he posts.

I don't think he would. The instigator role says the instigators show up as part of the instigator team for all seer checks. Zell can confirm, but I don't think he shows as a wolf.

This makes me happy to hear. It sucks that he’s got so much shit going on, but it’s good to hear he’s making the best of things.

My biggest thing is I would hope Benzine is able to kick a discussion about the SK. I think that's the important thing. He's typically the one that goes into logical rage before he's voted off. Here, if he goes, the instigator team controls the vote tomorrow and there's really little hope for the town left.

Clearly shows signs of regrets in life. The betrayal he was subjected to without even knowing it is eating him alive in death. I fear there is no rest for this one.

Much appreciated my boy. Your input will be put to good use. Now if you please, I have to go deal with... Yes. This one.


It says your name is @Raine . Are we ready for your questioner now ma'am? Or will we be going through the same thing again? There's no guns here. I imagine the manager is literally the worst thing in existence from all possible standpoints. Or we can always keep at it for all eternity. That would be your personal hell though. I have many other people on my list to deal with beyond minor administrative disputes.

Once again, I LOVE his logical in your face "think about it this way" stuff when he's backed into a lynch. I vote for him as a joke on day 1, but I respect his critical thinking abilities immensely. It's so hard to argue his logic, which is why it's so hard to lynch him, especially when he's town.

Well played, sir, well played.
 
I will say that it's way easier to see how full of shit TD is knowing he's full of shit during this game. Like, when we were arguing and I didn't consider an instigator, I was more or less confused why he wasn't coming around and listening to what I was saying - even when I offered the truce. Now during day 2, it's blatantly obvious he's hiding something. Maybe that's just info bias. I have no idea. I feel so bad for the town but I do want the instigator team to win after all this lol.

He would show as a wolf. Sheriff doesn't check "team" affiliation. But he's not the lowest ranking wolf, Jump is.
Oh, they're ranked low to high. I'm kinda surprised they're going after Benzine so hard then.

IMO this is his biggest tell. It was also weird how he made such a big deal of me pointing out you weren't online when Jawneh tried to interview you. You've proven you can stand up to a bit of questioning, so I have no reason to try to prevent it. I just wanted him to pick somebody who was online so he could do his thing.

C'mon Fool's... everything he said makes 100% sense, and TD is clearly dodging to not dig a hole he can't climb out of.

That "you protest too much" thing has become a recent involvement in these games and leads to people getting lynched. It's actually getting annoying. Like... you WANT them to defend themselves, but then when they do, you slap them with, you're defending too much.

Like... wut?

And now Benzine intimating he's done with wolf.

I am REALLY glad I'm not playing this game. Have I mentioned that? Lol.

He's feeling what I have been. You push so hard to convince people that just won't listen. And Local and Fool are gonna feel really weird when they realize they ignored Benzine's logic in favor of TD (masterful) manipulation.

I'm happy with instigator win, they definitely have played really well. But I'm still hoping for a miracle because I do love me the underdog story lol

Welp, hi Benzine!

It's about it. The only way this doesn't end with the instigator team, is Local and Fool recognizing TD is full of shit with Benzine's death, the wolves recognizing that Kut controls their kill and likely targets one of Fool or Local tonight, then the wolves AND town combining to vote off TD tomorrow. Other than that the instigators control the vote and they sail to the win with the town being about as bad as I remember this game.
