While I wait for well named to hopefully clarify whether DividedSky is gambit or not:

I see multiple misuses of "commentary mode" so far

"Commentary mode" is when someone provides a play-by-play of past events without adding any new thoughts, much like sports commentary, hence the name

Example of commentary mode:

(quote)
Alice votes Bob

(quote)
Bob defends himself from Alice's vote

(quote)
Alice elaborates her case on Bob, she says his quoted post is wolfy because the case on Chuck doesn't make sense

(quote)
Bob explains his case on Chuck

As you can see, whoever wrote that didn't add anything of value that you couldn't get from rereading the thread.

The entire reason the phrase exists and denotes posts a wolf more commonly makes is because wolves want to emulate a villager game and so want to make multiquote rereads and such, but wolves have perfect information so they don't actually have any insight as to what the material means for the players' roles, so if they're not careful they end up just posting a summary of what happened and nothing else. On the other hand, it's very difficult for an earnest villager to read an interaction without having some opinion on it.

You could literally rand() between "wolfy" and "villagery" and stick the randed word onto the end of each sentence and it wouldn't be commentary mode. It could very well be wolfy as all hell, but it would be wolfy on the merits (this read doesn't follow, etc.).

This is important because saying something is "commentary mode" is essentially calling the poster a wolf for providing no content, so if the poster did provide some original thoughts, it's wrong.

dividedsky == gambit

HUStylez: thank you. Keep going

oh bleh I quoted the wrong post, sorry luckbox

Didn't read carefully enough since I knew you made more or less the same clear.

can we just stipulate that you did?

==========

no clarification on DividedSky is forthcoming so I'm going to reread someone else

unvote after reading HUstylez' last post because it is solid.

felix looking much better right now liking his reread efforts. is there an easier way to multi quote posts haha I should start taking notes or something

iyo is gambit more likely to post less as a villa or wolf?

Updated Revised Lynch List

bhuber
charry
comeasur
dividedsky

lots of these wagons seem to be getting resistance, good sign probably, but lots of ppl mentioned hoya as wolfy yet a wagon with him couldn't get started, and now since hes at 100 seems to have some sort of get out of jail free card

is lynching a top poster day 1 really that bad?

Do not get all the bhuber village leans, need to look into that tomorrow

More divi votes are encouraged

Everybody can't be a wolf. "Resistance" means nothing/is non-existent

Chris,

Vote for VMF. It can happen

VarianceMinefield

rereading DividedGambit right now but I have a really weird story

last night I dreamed about this game (chalk it up to the Tetris Effect)

I'm sure multiple things happened but I specifically remember that I dreamed that Tappokone's entrance to the thread was way different from his usual, highly distinctive entrance to the thread in which he says "as usual I have randed villager" and goes on to make some prepared posts including one with links to his past games

lo and behold, I'm rereading, and Tappokone's entrance to the thread was way different from his usual, highly distinctive entrance to the thread

omg felix are you a wizard?

I've been wanting to vote VMF for a while but:

despite playing with him for a number of years I still often read him as wolf when he's a villager, his style just sets of drudgealarm.gif's in my head no matter what

I want to do him full credit and reread him before voting him

ChrisJdk?

I am not sure why you want to vote me. I think we have a lot of similar reads. I feel good about lynching mexeneil, chris, probably not felix anymore but i dont trust him

i lost my villa lean on divided sky

fwiw in my dream I think I insta-snap-voted-forever Tappokone for it

but Tappokone's first few posts are very villagery

I like pulling in multiple things that happened at different times in the thread into this multiquote, shows excellent thread awareness, he clearly read the thread carefully and actually cared about what people were saying about other people.

And well named your lynch list looks awful to me.

how come you lost your villa lean there now? weird timing seeing as you're getting votes and divided seems to be the next hot name to throw out

mexineil lynch is tho

I read different people differently, simple as that

you should know, i have high respect for your game, and that is why i found your pizza guy villa lean to be scummy

i also felt like your mayor talk was for villa points and not for the actual benefit of the village

im not gonna push you tonight, but i certainly dont trust you

and i think you need to reconsider pizzaguy

literally 80 percent of his posts are just aggressively campaigning for mayor

its not even important who gets it imo

vmf are you still frozen about what I pointed out?

fwiw chrisjrdk's post was actually about Redd, my mistake, sorry.

you will clearly have to do some #work to find that last wolf

oh just because i havent seen him say much other than his original post that i gave him a villa lean for

i dont want to lynch him

i really want to lynch mex or chrisjdk

yeah i meant different lingo for roleblocker, angel etc

not scummy or town, i like those names

i read the whole thread last night at like 3 am

Felix, have you literally pushed anyone this game? Have you made a case against anyone this game?

also:

you don't have high respect for well named's and luckbox's games?

I am going to quote some dividedsky posts

There is a consistent theme that I want to point out about his wolf reads. They are all for fairly superficial seemingly arbitrary reasons. "Focusing on one thing is wolfy" is the theme here. I don't really believe that he thinks this way about wolf hunting.

Secondly, he says he is expecting to have fun none-the-less. This has been a long and pretty high-volume d1. Lots of reads, lots of arguing, no consensus wagons. It's pretty high level werewolf. Is dividedsky having fun? I'm not seeing it.

This is a very long post. All it says is a repeat of the first post, something like "tunneling is wolfy". It's so much commentary for so little content. It's again superficial. villager gambit/dividedsky, the turbo player, does not feel the need to use so many words to say so little.

again, superficial. It's not that the basis of the read is entirely invalid, it's that he just finds something, tacks it on the list, and that's the last we hear of it. This is not wolf hunting.

Again, it's obvious his hunting is very shallow when something like this causes him to change his vote to me, a person he can't help but acknowledge has been putting a ton of villagery effort into the game.

These posts are reminiscent to the kind of snarky trolling I have seen a lot in his wolf game. That is a less strong observation than the former, but worth nothing

Please lynch:

dividedsky

i dont know luckboxes game(i put him down as a wolfy villager based on what others said)

and i think well nameds other posts were very villagery

yesterday I left too early to be able to confidently push anyone - usually I come into d1 well into the day and skip past the early fluff, rather than participating in it

right now I am "soft pushing" VMF, I guess

because it's VMF and I read him terribly I want to be sure before voting him.
