FQ Wolf GWF Wolf Vol. 1 Discussion Thread: WOLVES WIN

[shortkut]

My suspicions day 1 were @Cole and @Jawneh

After this day, I feel it is something @canadaguy would do. I’m trying to decide

I’d like to thank the wolves for proving me right that day 2 would have no more information than day 1 and for not killing me

 

[Cole]

I’d like to thank the wolves for proving me right that day 2 would have no more information than day 1 and for not killing me

except it doesn't really prove you right, because I think 13 of 14 players in this thread were expecting a kill last night. only the person who thought of it had any idea.

strange it "proves you right", though, isn't it?

 

[Raine]

names I dont remember as being big parts of wolf games that might be more inexperienced: God, Fools, Holly and Warp. I don't know any of them well enough to gauge whether or not they're good players or just enjoying the fun.

You can't rule out the fact that someone intentionally and specifically wanted to troll you, and the other two went along for the ride.


I genuinely love that my entire GW existence has been a fever dream. The internet archive doesn't remember me, people I've killed don't remember me. It's the perfect camouflage!

 

[VashTheStampede]

In my mind it's either kut or a frame job.

So you know...I got nothing really.

I'm not ruling that out at all. but if I should be suspicious of people that would troll me, I'm lynching every single person here.

 

[Raine]

Cole's gone from zero-to-everyoneofyoubitchesaredead pretty quickly.

I think he's a wolf, guys.


But yeah, the obvious choices there are shortkut or framing shortkut. So, flip a coin and all that. I'll check back in after work and opportunistically kill someone piece together some hare-brained townie scheme.

 

[shortkut]

[Cole]

maybe, but the real question is.

who's framing you?

someone else? ...or are you framing yourself?

 

[shortkut]

who's framing you?

someone else? ...or are you framing yourself?

Am I really smart enough to frame myself?

 

[Cole]

I'm not sure, it's possible you finally got wiser with age? you're what? 43 now?

 

[shortkut]

I'm not sure, it's possible you finally got wiser with age? you're what? 43 now?

36. Even if I got wiser, I’m more sleep deprived because I have two kids

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I only really have Among Us videos to work from for how people play. There are three types of imposters who abstain from killing in early rounds:

1. Experienced people who like to gaslight other players and trick them into believing they're good guys.
2. People who are too scared to kill people in fear of being caught.
3. People who just didn't have an opening.

Not taking advantage of an opportunity to thin the herd seems either super wreckless, super dumb, or both.

 

[canadaguy]

fun fact, I have an ortho appointment in 2 weeks to find out whether or not I tore my OTHER meniscus.

so all MY knee is telling me is "you're old"

Mine do that too. Especially when I try to stand up. Crack like lightning going off in the room

 

[Jawneh]

I'll open the flood gates today with a vote for Warp. Why? It rubbed me a little wrong after a good number of people had already voted to abstain to then come in and try to rebuke the objective facts of it will be better for the townies to note vote day 1 to then say we should really vote day 1 doods. And then dump the vote on kut who was the only one on the chopping block AND even going as far to tell us he wasn't even his first choice. So I'm hedging that he still tried to rile up a crowd of folks for a lynch before the abstain boat had set sail completely.

 

[Cole]

okay so slight "out of character" post.

we all acknowledge that we're a lot older with families and lives and cant be refreshing this page all day anymore. amd by that token, we cant always use activity as a measure of who is guilty or not.

but we're in the middle of a wolf game. so this is me saying I will only be around sporadically for most of the rest of the day. I am not hiding, I am not intentionally less active than yesterday, I am just BUSY.

What could you possibly be doing today? Nothing useful I’m certain of it.

Hit the round thing with the long thing then run and touch the square things. If you touch enough squares, you can touch a pentagon and win a point

 

[VashTheStampede]

I think those square things might be diamond things at a 45 degree angle

ugh, good luck with that. Learning baseball is a lifetime commitment.

BALK RULES! IMPORTANT!

1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can’t do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can’t be over here and say to the runner, like, “I’m gonna get ya! I’m gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!” and then just be like he didn’t even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to pitch and then don’t pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there’s the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn’t typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). “get in mah bellah” – Adam Water, “The Waterboy.” Haha, classic…

True story, when I took my drivers test they had this pop up and I had to tell them what street sign it was:


I said I had no idea. They asked me if it looked familiar, and I said it looked like home plate. I passed.

You fiend!

I've never really been the, err, follower type. I like to stalk my prey, sniff around their belongings, take a couple nibbles. Really get a lay of the land, y'know?

I was pretty adamant the entire day that someone needed to die/that doing nothing was ill-advised. I just didn't fully lay it out and cast a vote until closer to the end of the phase, because that's how the timing worked out.

 

[Ants!]

I’m thinking it could be shortkut being adamant at seeing a townie lynching as the first kill, but that also seems too obvious and convenient. Likewise coleman setting him up also seems too simple.

But both are trying REALLY hard to dominate discussion in the game and sway people a certain way. Who has such a hard opinion before there are even any facts to go on? My conspiracy theory is they could both be wolves playing us. Just feels too manipulating.

It’s still early in the day phase though and we only get one vote change, so I’m going to hold off voting for now and hear more opinions and ideas first. One thing’s for sure though, I am NOT voting to abstain this round and I don’t recommend anyone else does either. Day 1 sure, but not Day 2.

Fair enough. Still doesn't change the facts that after I laid it out that it is factually better for townies not to vote you still.come and vote to kill someone. If it was today, I wouldn't give a hoot.

 

[Raine]

That's irrational at best though, considering there's no difference between Day 1 and Day 2 right now. And would've only been slight difference had the wolves actually killed someone.

But, that aside, you were the first person to +1 someone else anyway. Seems pretty bloodthirsty to me.

 

[Jawneh]

But there is a big difference and that is that we got no option today. Yesterday we did and you chose to push for a lynch.

And yes I was. I believe I said why before and also switched to abstain after going through the mental math/stats of does it make s difference what we do.

This day 2 is the same as day 1. Logic is faulty as the math @Cole laid out is the same

You can't abstain today. That doesn't mean you have to vote today. No votes still results in no lynching.

So the math remains the same, and the parameters are still the same. Yet, you've chosen violence. You're still the only one that has.

I'm actually even more suspicious of shorty now.

Yes you can. Read what @Fire Queen wrote about who did or did not die. The only reason you wouldn’t need to read it is if you were a wolf and already knew no one died

 

[Raine]

Only goddamn degenerates read the rules anyway.

Do you know how many years it's been since I last cracked open a manual? 'Cause I surely do not! Fake it 'til you make it, baby.

I still haven't read anything other than the wolves abstaining, which was bolded meaning it was important.

I guess I'll go read the manual phase change, god kut why can't you just highlight it for me I'm lazy. Gosh. BE RIGHT BACK Y'ALL.

you may still vote to abstain, but i imagine no one's going to be interested in that anymore lol

Yo what the fuck @Jawneh kut's not lying!

Why you killing me man?!

Reading the employee handbook is very useful. I’m salaried and wanted to leave an hour early once a few years back, but my manager wouldn’t let me, even if I took PTO. I read the handbook and discovered that for salaried employees, no PTO needs to be used if I work at least half my day. So for the last 4 years, if I need to leave 1 hour early, I’ve been leaving 3-4 hours early.

[Major Isoor]

It might be my tiredness speaking, but I'm voting Ants!, as I agree with some other posters that it has to have been a seasoned player to have decided to try this. And I think Ants has just the right sense of humour for doing it - the no-kill was a pretty hilarious turn of events, for sure!

So yeah, I think he's the likeliest option at this stage - sorry Ants!

 

[Cole]

yes, it was faulty ONLY because the wolves didn't kill.

I guess I should be flattered your opinion of me is this high, considering we have “seasoned” players like Mark, shortkut, coleman, canadaguy, vash…

 

[Jawneh]

Yo what the fuck @Jawneh kut's not lying!

Why you killing me man?!

Well damn. You're right that he's right. I took the wolves not being able to abstain as us not being able to either again. Who needs reading comprehension anyways.

Even though that changes what the best scenario should be, which now that we all are aware of the abstaining rules, is to abstain another day for a wolf kill, I'll still be keeping my vote. Me being the first to join a bandwagon yesterday until realizing I shouldn't so it isn't nearly as sketchy as you jumping in on the highest voted person, who you didn't think was the most likely person anyhow, but voted for anyways. Especially after it was said that everyone should abstain. And today you're being a contrarian and saying exactly what I was yesterday against me.

 

[Jawneh]

Crap, I hit send before I said everything I wanted.

And yes, I also see the hipocracy of my own for voting in this case when we shouldn't, but I have my own hunch today about you @Warp thanks to yesterday and trying to spin my own words against me. You still haven't even mentioned that person you think is more suspect than kut or voted for them or kut again. But I guess yesterday was a better day for you to vote and today be a goodie two shoes.

I'm not abstaining. Someone's going to die. Skulls for the Skull Throne and all that.

I said shortkut probably wouldn't be my first choice, and that would primarily be from an activity standpoint as I casually mentioned. In the same way that I'll never trust Cole to not immediately hogtie me and beat me to within an inch of my life in these games, and I don't have a TD or a [redacted] to draw his ire and suss out his... sus-ness.

Someone like you, Jawneh, would've been a higher priority target than shortkut yesterday. As the first person to "decidedly" want to kill someone. And if not you, then someone else making an intentional choice - up to an including voting to abstain during a period wherein that's the outwardly safe thing to do. But, as stated, shortkut was the only viable option if I wanted someone to die. Which I did. Which I do. Because seeing what role someone dead has, provides some sort of insight into what type(s) of people voted (and didn't) to off them.

Y'know, things a wolf would do.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I'm glad we get 36 hours again, because I don't know who the fuck to vote for. I do not know anyone well enough to make a well informed decision yet.

 

[Holly]

I'm glad we get 36 hours again, because I don't know who the fuck to vote for. I do not know anyone well enough to make a well informed decision yet.

This, exactly. I haven't a clue who the hell to vote for.

 

[Jawneh]

I'm not abstaining. Someone's going to die. Skulls for the Skull Throne and all that.

So two days in a row when the best thing to do until the wolves kill someone to get information that way, you want to make things easier for them to win by us also killing a person during the day.

Whatever reason you find the most convenient.

Because seeing what role someone dead has, provides some sort of insight into what type(s) of people voted (and didn't) to off them.

Actually, killing off me or Cole would've been a bad move as thanks to Cole's outspoken nature and me agreeing with him and adding onto his opinion paints the two of us as potentially being together in some plot. So it actually makes more sense to not off either one of us until right away until the two was riled up enough or we became too much of a risk with our wolf guesses. Or maybe Cole is a wolf and with a slight friendly elbow pump yesterday wanted to slight a bit of heat off him. Don't know yet. To be decided.

Kut was the first one who, "decidedly" like you put it, voted yesterday. Sure it was a continuation from the sign up thread, but I'm also not above the idea of FQ making kut a wolf thanks to that for shits and giggles. No clue how many layers this wolf game already has as the first volume. And mine was a joke vote to make a mediocre pun, which I redacted after I realized it would've made the game worse for the town. The vote, not the mediocre pun. That's stays.

You're the one that stood up after all that as a contrarian to insist on a vote when it would've most likely make things worse if kut ends up being a townie. Sure, if against the odds he was a wolf then I'd concede the correct vote, but still say it was a lucky hit on day 1. Everyone would. Yes there were other votes as well, but yours was the weirdest.

 

[shortkut]

Does anyone have any type of suspicions or are our options random vote vs abstention?
