4/30 Criminal Minds Vanilla WW Slow Game Thread - Page 88

I haven't been a wolf in a long game in a really really long time, so I don't remember. I don't think I've been a wolf in a non-turbo since before Burn Notice.

I do shamelessly defend my wolf brethren though, and I seldom bus.

Just admit we're not wolfy for pushing you. I mean you sort of defended pitch by voting me when I was voting him. Do you really think, even as a villager, you could have derailed his wagon at eod? If you don't think so, it makes sense for you to just sit it out? Do you agree with that?

And, moreover, do you then think that wolf turns on him and accuses him of cozying up? In his first game?

I just don't see it at all.

What do you mean by less play-by-play and more color commentary? Like what Hoya and you were saying earlier about more POE and less general reads? Ie rereading particular players more?

You do a lot of summary "this is what I see happening" posts. Which is fine and even helpful, especially in larger games and it shows that you're genuinely reading the game. But now it's time for some nitty-gritty action.

Yes Hoya and I could be playing everyone as w/w. It's okay to think that. But put it in perspective, realize that we're *probably* both villagers, and work from there.

Regardless, the UAW/VR/PITCH wolf team of badness is fictional, because at least one of us (moi) is not a wolf. And when I voted you, it was not because of gtpitch, but because you seemed insincere. You still do, a littlel. I picture you as your old avatar, relaxing behind the keyboard and having a smoke and a good chuckle at all our expenses.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

A colour commentator (color analyst, analyst) is a sports commentator who assists the play-by-play announcer, often by filling in any time when play is not in progress. The color analyst and main commentator will often exchange comments freely throughout the broadcast, when the play-by-play announcer is not describing the action. The color commentator provides expert analysis and background information, such as statistics, strategy and injury reports on the teams and athletes, and occasionally anecdotes or light humor. Color commentators are often former athletes or coaches of the sport being broadcast.

I think noobs are more likely to comment play by play than color. I'll try to do more color anysis though.

Legend: If you and Hoya are villa, then I'd think UAW and VR would be the wolf team. Fyi I think you're a villa and Hoya is simply >rand to be a wolf, so that could be the case.

see that's literally impossible, the objective chances I'm a wolf, being generous, are like 5%

VR more posts about people who are alive or may be wolves, less posts about why you're not that don't involve you quoting posts or interactions involving yourself

So don't do this, Hoya. I do it too, and get heat for it. Seeing it from the outside, it really doesn't look good. I agree in principle, but it's at least 10%.

Can't be 10%, that means that when I'm a wolf there's ~ a 33% chance I make my life harder <- lol at that

remedys, you're in the POE but you've played fine for a first game in either role. It seems like you have a genuine interest in it anyway. Hoya pressuring you is part of the game, you realize.

I don't know when it became a thing to make pretty women less pretty as an expression of fashion, but it's a bad thing and everyone involved should feel bad.

Fwiw, I like that nobody is accusing well named for being MIA for extended periods, because he's been villagery when around. The day where our meta is known well enough that being afk is completely role-neutral will be a happy one.

And I know I kinda did that to you, VR. But really it was the content (or lack thereof) that prompted that post.

It's a trend. That and hot pink mascara. Apparently the cool thing now is to look 3 weeks dead or like a space alien.
