       Re: Penguin's lynch of Lena Leia does articulate a decent

       already lynched L_S before Lena. Why would he need to lunch

       I can only assume he was looking for a reaction from everyone.
       He wanted to see what people thought of him by making what
       seemed to the naked eye to be a fairly random lynch. He
       certainly succeeded in that regard.

       This is literally the first time I've gone to bed and not had
       any plan on what to do the next day (usually that's when I make
       my plans, like the jailkeeper/wolf plan last game).
       I'm under suspicion because I made what seems like a very
       choreographed mistake but it really wasn't, I panicked because I
       forgot the meta (as I said, background Minecraft killed me) and
       typed really fast to make sure no one else made the same stupid
       mistake I did.
       Usually when my posts are confusing I scramble and I have a blue
       role to claim quickly (see Psychic in AEI). I don't have that
       here and my normal sporadic posting looks wolfy because I have
       no clue what to do this game. I'm getting pulled in a lot of
       different directions here.
       Now I think leia's convinced by so I'm going to change my lynch
       to KKE. I don't think both KKE and Penguin can be wolves,
       especially not if they're bussing each other so hard on day 1.
       It's going to be really easy for the quieter players to hide in
       this town if they do happen to be wolves, especially because of
       all this chaos between the more active ones.

       Hoello guys!
       This is my first TWG or ToS game in a while so I cannot really
       agree or disagree with you all when you point to someone
       behaving in a similar way as in a past game where they were
       guilty, so oops.
       Reading through everything I cannot really see who among KKE and
       penguin looks more guilty, although I am leaning towards one, so
       I would not lynch anyone for now. I would like to see more
       discussion before I decide to vote.
       [/quote]
       yaaaaaaaaaay I'm so happy you're here it's been too long!
       Leia basically said close to everything I wanted to say better
       than I could (thanks Leia). I'm sorry if it's difficult for me
       to articulate what I mean sometimes, but I'll keep trying to
       explain anything that doesn't make sense. I'll quickly respond
       to a few things now --
       [quote author=hoezzy link=topic=27.msg629#msg629
       date=1586875221]
       Yeah, I am waiting for KKE's defence.  To answer Leia's
       question, let's go over some keypoints:
       - L_S walking back on his statement is quite suspicious and we
       seem to be agreeing on this.
       - I haven't played a lot of recent games so can't say anything
       about KKE's points about repeating patterns in behavior of some
       users. However, what I remember is that Penguin definitely tries
       to lead the town when he's scum. He's also active and assumes a
       leadership position when he's town. Likewise, KKE is active and
       prominent both as scum and as town.
       -Penguin's lynch of Lena is suspicious and I don't really but
       his reasoning. Penguin is smarter than this, and that lynch of
       Lena seems out of character for him.
       -KKE keeps changing her lynch. She thought L_S was town
       initially and lynched Zech, then did a 360 on that, and now
       she's lynching Penguin. Her behaviour is strange, especially
       given she changed her position on L_S after Penguin said L_S
       seems scum which can be chalked up to two things: either
       Penguin's reasoning convinced her or that she's scum and wants
       the day over with safe and sound. If the latter is the case, you
       can argue that Zech is innocent too. However, given that she
       seems to be accusing almost anyone including Cosmic where there
       is nearly a consensus that Cosmic is town seems suspicious.
       However there isn't any hard evidence against KKE apart from
       some assumptions, so I want to wait for her defence before
       lynching anyone.
       To answer Leia's question, there seems to be more suspicious
       behavior from L_S right now than Penguin or KKE, so if I had to
       go with someone, I would go with L_S. However, other members are
       considering his actions as something to be revisited later on
       and not to lynch him right now, and it seems like the real
       question here is whether KKE or Penguin022 are the real
       contenders for the gallows. Among them, KKE's behavior seems
       more suspicious than Penguin's for reasons I have discussed, so
       I am slightly leaning towards lynching her. However, I need to
       see KKE's defence before voting on who to lynch.
       [/quote]
       - I agree that it might be difficult to determine who is wolf or
       human since KKE and I can often be very loud players whether we
       are wolf or not, so I suggest trying to read between the lines
       to assess whether or not it seems like we are working pro-town
       or against town (based on the ways in which we speak), and also
       try to think of the reasoning we would do what we're doing from
       both a townsperson's perspective and a wolf's perspective.
       - As Leia said, I lynched to get information. As I've said in
       previous games, I don't like how conservatively evereyone plays
       with their lynch vote, and I think specifically on day 1, you
       should use your lynch vote to push people to get information. I
       used my lynch vote for just that -- to generate a reaction from
       Lena and the rest of the town. I certainly did get a reaction
       from KKE, and a few other players, but I got most of what I
       wanted from the vote. I detailed all of the info we got from my
       vote a page back.
       - Worth noting that I'm not sure there had been a concensus on
       Cosmic when KKE suspected him, I think I was the only person at
       that point who thought Cosmic was specifically townleaning. I'm
       not sure we will ever be able to have the "hard evidence"
       against KKE that you want since it is day 1, but I think all of
       the points Leia and I made together make the evidence pretty
       hard.
       - I'm still suspicious of L_S, but much less-so than I am of
       KKE. If you're more suspicious of L_S, feel free to lynch him
       since I think he's more active to respond atm.
       I agree with everything Leia said and the only thing I'd add is
       that the first few pages were just the beginning of her being
       sketchy, and I outlined where she started to seem super wolfy on
       the last page (which I'm still willing to clarify if you don't
       get it, ik I can be pretty bad at getting my point across).

       I'm pretty lackadaisical with my vote, especially on day 1, L_S
       was already going to have to defend himself since he had a
       couple votes against him besides me, but I knew that Cosmic was
       right that we weren't gonna get very far with it, L_S would come
       online and say "whoops sorry if I seemed wolfy" and we would
       either lynch him or not based on that. I wanted to continue
       generating discussion like I did with my L_S lynch, so I went
       after Lena and then left without giving reasoning, since I knew
       there was a lot you could draw from that, and it became even
       more interesting since I had started the last leading
       lynchtrain.

       Since you seem to suspect the quieter players more, which of the
       players in the middle right now do you suspect the most? It'll
       be easier to get stuff from them if you push 'em a bit.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Right now I'm mildly suspicious of those in the middle
       -CM definitely knows what he's doing now after a few games, so
       the random appearance and human claiming seemed a bit off to me,
       especially because I feel he should have read through the topic
       before claiming human.
       - Similar reads on Zech and Boomen, although I feel like their
       claims suit their playstyles more so I'm not too suspicious of
       them.
       -Lena isn't really contributing much, but this point's already
       been touched upon.
       - I don't know how to read jerk at the moment, but you could
       argue this is another player that's been quieter and
       non-contributive so far.
       - Not a real point, but where is Sky? Has he posted yet?
       I do think this is a situation where we have one loud wolf and a
       couple quieter wolves in the background, or maybe a pair of loud
       wolves. Regardless, the quiet people aren't off the hook and I'd
       like to push them.
       Because I still think there's a loud player leading them, I'm
       keeping my KKE lynch. I hope she comes on with a defense.

       Miss you too Penguin! Blame KKE who we're gonna lynch for
       dragging me back in this mess 😂
       I think I get your reasoning for the most part, and reading your
       and Leia's replies again I do think there is good evidence that
       KKE is wolfy. Brilliant day 1 strategy though - back in my day
       we didn't have these fancy ideas. We just random lynched someone
       on D1 😂
       Considering everything, I am convinced enough that KKE is scum.
       My vote may change if KKE's defence is good, but for now...
       Lynch KKE.

       Alright, first off, because I am being accused, worst comes to
       worst, I am Human. Although I did not want to say it, I might as
       well because of how I am getting accused. You guys can lynch me
       if you’d like because honestly, it would do town more of a favor
       in case I was Bomb or somehow fucked by the Bomber Wolf. If I
       die, at least you aren’t losing a Seer or Guardian or anything
       like that. It would have saved other town roles from visiting me
       and potentially risking death in case I am bomb/visited by Bomb
       Wolf. You will also see that I am not a Wolf upon a Lynch if you
       really wish. (IDK why my MacBook keeps making Lynch capital but
       just stick with it).
       Re: Meta with me not being skeptical
       It seems like the vast majority of the argument against me is
       based on how I suddenly changed my mind and wasn’t as confident
       in what I was saying or lynching. People probably think I am
       always super confident according to past game.
       This is not true. If you are going to base an argument that I am
       not wishy-washy usually, it’s only if I have definitive
       evidence. Last game, I was Seer; I had not played a single game
       in over a year since then and I honestly forgot my play style
       before last game because it’s been god knows how long. I Seer’ed
       Lena as Blue while others called her out for scum-leaning
       behavior. Since I knew L_S was Warden and that I was Seer, I had
       a STRONG gut feeling he wanted to hear more from SB/Lena because
       they were his two visitors and because I knew Lena was blue for
       a fact (given that there are only 3 blue roles, I’d know Lena is
       JK as long as Shrub told the truth, and I saw no reason in Shrub
       lying about being Warden, so it would make sense that SB would
       be the other visitor since then I’d know Lena is JK cuz the odds
       of Dauber/Hypno are already slim enough and the odds of that
       wolf fucking around with me or Lena is even slimmer). There was
       minor risk involved, but I had information that still was
       beneficial. After all, it would make sense as I know Lena would
       be Blue and SB did not particularly claim, so I felt very solid
       in my decision to call out SB and defend Lena last game. In all
       honesty, I chose to Seer Lena specifically because I got a scum
       read from her. Had it not been for the Seer check, I almost
       could have gone with lynching Lena the next day. If you saw any
       other situations, I was always doubtful of others. I’ve read
       posts from Kowhai, Jess, Nick, and even Leia (suspecting
       Independent then), and I think people, especially Penguin the
       host last game, would know that I am always skeptical. I always
       think of worst case scenario. [Like last game, worst case
       scenario for me was that Leia was Independent because Town was
       starting to trust her a lot] along with Zech being Human [bc
       people were dead set on him being Independent]. Just wanted to
       bring all this up because a lot of the contention seems to be
       around me doing full 180s, yet NO ONE seems to even bring to
       attention how I flipped 180s from pushing a SB Lynch to
       suspecting Nick, and then later trying to push more out of
       Kowhai before Kowhai decided to be put out of her misery.
       However, if I don’t have the information, I play always thinking
       about worst case scenario and struggle to make game decisions
       sometimes. However, what really surprised me was how Leia and
       Penguin based [and initiated] discussion on how the wishy-washy
       behavior of mine is unusual. What was weird was that they should
       have known my behavior last game was wishy washy whenever I did
       not have evidence. The only evidence I had was on Lena; I was
       wishy washy on other players, and switched suspicions back and
       forth b/w Zech, Nick, Kowhai, and later even Jess/Leia. I change
       my mind when new things come up easily. Like, I was fine with
       Leia until she made a post saying we’d win as long as we Lynch
       the last wolf and jail SB each night, and that post leaned
       Independent for me. I was skeptical of how SB hinted at wanting
       to Lynch Nick and then going like “We can Lynch his accusers”
       (which he said before he was confirmed as Wolf)…after we all
       realized he was wolf. I found it funny how they just did not
       seem to even think about trying to see how I played last game
       given my role. Yes, I came off as firm and confident in
       decisions initially, but that was because of the one Seer check
       along with information from LS.
       “And then she's been throwing out so many different scenarios,
       it's hard to keep track of. Could these be literally all of her
       thoughts? Sure. Could it also just be a solid strategy to make
       it seem like you're participating and actively contributing to
       town when really you're just trying to distract and confuse?
       Also yes.” —Leia’s post for reference [/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Penguin’s Strategy of Generating More Discussion]
       First of all, in Penguin’s long post (84), he presents this test
       and ASSUMES/PREDICTS that two predominant black and white
       situations will occur
       1. People follow the train against Lena
       2. People end up lynching Penguin022
       I think we can all agree both scenarios would provide very
       interesting situations. However, I would like to note that so
       far, the bulk of Penguin’s points were examples of my posts of
       me being wishy-washy and changing my vote, and how I kind of
       swayed back and forth after falling for the second scenario.
       It’s based upon the assumption that I have usually been
       confident in the past and had a “lead-the-town” mentality, but
       this isn’t even always the case. If I know information, I won’t
       stop from trying to lead the town, but like WHAT EVERYONE has
       said, it is Day 1. We have NOTHING THAT IS DEFINITIVE.
       It’s always been a personality of me to try and bring stuff up
       if other people aren’t talking as much, but then end up
       following other people’s suggestions or taking others’
       suggestions into consideration, whether it’s in person or
       online. The only exception is if I have a strong reason why they
       would be wrong. (Like with me knowing Lena was Blue before she
       revealed as JK)
       In all honesty I want to admit my mistake. I wasn’t really
       thinking about anything; I was so invested *no pun intended* in
       my literal test on investments that I honestly wasn’t really
       thinking through. I made an impulsive mistake, on my behalf. I
       honestly think trying to pull a plan like Penguin’s
       justification on Day 1 would be way too risky for anyone’s play,
       after giving it some more consideration. Like it could seriously
       go wrong in some cases just as much as it can help find a scum
       role. Looks like it was thought out, and if he really is a wolf,
       props to him for tricking everyone and trying to screw me over.
       But yeah, honestly wouldn’t Lynch Penguin for now even if his
       whole argument is against me, because in all honesty, he backed
       his assumptions going into this strategy, and my behavior fit
       those assumptions, like if he was looking for a specific type of
       behavior from a pre-established plan, then I honestly would have
       appeared pretty sketch. I just really don’t understand why him
       and Leia thought me being wishy washy was new all of a sudden
       considering I still displayed cautious/always thinking of
       different scenario behavior back and forth ish stuff in the last
       game as a Seer.
       I will admit I didn’t make the smartest moves or maybe just
       behaved too recklessly bc I had other stuff going on. I give
       Penguin credit on his argument that I did not place much
       effort/thinking on why you lynched Lena. I just realized it was
       an odd move from you and wanted to question it more and push
       more of why you chose to Lynch Lena by placing a Lynch on you.
       As what players have said before, lynches are used to place more
       pressure and to try to get a player to talk it out more, and I
       wanted to hear more from you in that sense. Along with the fact
       that I had externalities going on outside the Internet, I don’t
       always have the right mindset to be thinking of explanations for
       every little bitty detail each day. Either way, I got the
       explanation I wanted from Penguin’s behavior.
       PS - @57, do you think I’d really be that stupid to say that if
       I am a wolf lmao, I would not try to bring attention to that if
       I was a wolf tbh

       I think it was Lena who asked but I'm most suspicious of KKE and
       Penguin because very heavy-hitting, early game leaders always
       seem a little odd to me. I've seen wolves do things similar to
       how they're playing.
