Fire Emblem: Three HoWWses Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Ok so here’s my larger game theory, and given the setup, I don’t think it’s too tinfoil... The village is made up of factions that are at least primarily the titular three houses in the game. Each of these houses and potential other villager/neutral factions have various complex wincons. This is based on me being in in one of the 3 houses and having a more complex wincon than simply “catch the wolves.”


Saying this in the context of fluff being interrogated from mentioning something related to wincons seems pretty bold if they are a wolf too.

So that + the push perspective angle makes me think Zuri isn't a wolf.

He goes in the "probably exclusive wincon" bucket with fluff lol
 
The angling of their push.

Zuri is now aiming for a wolfpack, making connections and reading gamestate, thing which was lacking in the tinfoils from their noob game (or at least what I read from it).
I'm still not seeing how this is clearing. Openly 3p hunting with more experienced players around would be a ticket to certain death. I do think your manator goggles are still in but I get it. Tees are wonderful.
 
If my theory is right, based on how you’re challenging Fluff, you’re probably a wolf
I know this is only going to be helpful for me but I'm almost inclined to lean Dubz more village because she tends to read me very well by D2 or 3 and I think if she was a wolf she'd be correctly reading me village to maintain her read. The fact that she's been a little sus of me seems more like a genuine, but incorrect, early game read coming from a village!Dubz
 
I’m so confused lol.

I’m also about to go play DND for the first time ever.

For now, and just after reading the first 4 pages, I will ###yeet Zuri###

The evil character reference rubbed me wrong, but could also be a Noob mistake. I’m prolly gonna make a ton of them.

Stop trying to pocket me :rage:
 
Each country within Fódlan has their own commitments, their own objectives… and not everyone is willing to compromise. Will the war reach its conclusion safely, or will the darkness on the outskirts consume everyone before they can unite?​
Going back to the game intro, this is what we know. Yes, everyone has their own wincons, objectives. But I'm assuming the consuming "darkness" is referring to the wolves. So being tied up on trying to single out other factions/3p is just playing right into the wolves' hands.

Explain to what is happening, are we being called wolves because we actively looking for town and wolves?
 
like I still think it’s beneficial for all 3 houses to hunt wolves whether it’s our primary wincon, because we all lose if the wolves reach parity, but I think there are a lot of folks who either didn’t read their roles carefully or are wolves and weren’t clues in to this complexity from the jump
I read my role multiple times, am village, and still did not know about the complexity of factions until other people started talking about it. So that's part of the reason I know your assumption is wrong and is likely to get dangerous for village
 
Actually I would assume that they have fake claims in that case, and that is particularly why u either make sample role pms in the OP, or outline all the possible win cons, in the OP

But for now just find wolves and town, it's simple enough, till other information arises, I know I need to find wolves first and foremost
 
i want to assume alignment isnt link to factions/flavor, else we could break the game by claiming
That's why I wanted to know if wolves are entirely separate or if there are wolves within each faction :laugh: but mods are being withholding!

Just as a heads up, when you make a vote, you should put it at the beginning or end of your post and away from all the other text. When it’s in the middle like that it makes it difficult for the Mods to find.
 
As a wolf Zuri also used to tinfoil things to make some pushes, but I think the key part is that, zuri believed those pushes they made (pushed matt thinking he was evil 3p) , so Im inclined to think that tinfoil is genuine by now and not coming from the place of a wolf.
I appreciate zuri's questioning of anyone and everyone that makes me lean villager. But his bold tactics read so wolfy that I didn't think a wolf could possibly be so brazen. So I can't really trust anything he says tbh. (I may be salty)
 
idk how present I’m going to be this game, given that I’m on my way to a conference, but I feel like “hunting for wolves” is not the tactic for this game given that sporty said it’s factional

Ok it seems like this is the post that started getting genny yeeted.

which again, i think Genny is just saying what I’m trying to say about this being more complex than let’s hunt the wolves. And I get there’s an argument that wolves might be trying to exploit the multi faction element by murking up the water with tinfoil theories, but I just feel like that would be a pretty reckless way to start out… like I feel like it would make more sense for wolves to start out pushing simple misyeets for wolfy behavior, then to start leaning more into the tinfoil when they get further along. questiining the werewolf basics draws too much attention and twists you up in too many knots (see: me trying to articulate this case) for it to make much sense as an early game wolf strategy to me
 

Awww I miss you too bby

Today was **** because one of my techs dogs was rushed in flat, white, and hypothermic with an active splenic bleed. My coworkers stabilized her and took out her spleen successfully but she was throwing VPCs through the surgery so right now it's basically just

And of course it's probably one of our most emotionally fragile technicians. Thanks Friday the 13th, great jokes.

Anyway, I'm going to try to catch up now while I eat dinner
 
At this point, I'm leaning towards thinking those who wanted to vote for factions have a faction eliminating role and maybe didn't see in the instructions that wolves are still part of the game.

But trying to eliminate wolves does benefit everyone except the wolves, so we should be united in this aspect.

Again, I think you're looking at it a bit backwards. Villagers know their main goal is still wolfhunting, or at least some of them do. We don't know what wolves were told or how complex or simple their wincon is (another assumption you're making with...no reason unless you have access to wolf chat). Wolves do know it's a factional game, and may assume that everyone else is going to be focused on their factional wincons, since a lot of factional games are structured that way. genny making a statement about the game being about those wincons rather than wolfhunting is quite simply a perspective slip as someone who doesn't know that wolfhunting is still the goal for others :shrug:
 
More assumptions, sigh
I mean yeah? i feel like all we can do at this point is try to make some assumptions based on information + theories?? Like I dont understand the difference between the assumptions I’m making here and the assumption that the way April responded to Animal Midwife’s response to jokes was sus. Like they’re both guesses that will either be supported or refuted by how things progress?

One actually happened with public post receipts. The other might not even exist.

Now please show evidence of wolf hunting because all I see is tinfoiling, defending genny, and lying about me to fit your agenda.

April is also free to sigh at or refute such things if she wishes lol I'm not just going to sit back and be like "Yup, totally accurate there" when I know your assumptions are incorrect.

Anyway the danger is in outting mechanical information that we were warned by the mod not to discuss. The more you push at people's wincons the more the defense becomes "well mine actually is THIS" which is just not great on day 1 of the game.

Also I would like to draw your attention to this line in particular

Not all wincons are exclusive.
 
It really feels like Zuri is fishing for people's factions at a minimum, which is sus on its own.
 
I know from experience that genny's mind works in mysterious ways that only logic could never understand.
🤔

Hey what was that game where wolves didn’t have to reach parity, they just had to give drugs to enough players to make addicts?

I am very explicitly wolf hunting the best way I know how, making the best case I can see with the information I have.

I haven’t lied about you to fit my agenda. I’ve pointed out that you said that we don’t know about the different factions, just that there are wolves, which I assume to be the honest view of the ga estate from your perspective.

I’m not explicitly stating my role or faction, but I am not a wolf and I am in one of the 3 houses and my role pm names multiple factions.
Then I am inducing from the info I have and the game being based on Three Houses and everything about how the game was described that others who are not wolves are also likely to be in one of the 3 Houses. I am then assuming (as wildzoo is emphatically cautioning me against) that other players who are in the 3 houses are likely to have role pms that also mention multiple factions. we all know there is a traditional Wolfpack that is described as being on the edges, and from that description I am assuming they are not a part of the 3 houses. I am assuming that the Wolfpack is likely to not have information about the other factions in the game, because from there perspective there are just wolves and nonwolves/students and they have a simple wincon of reaching parity with the students.

the reason I believe you’re a wolf is that you have claimed that we dont know anything about other factions at this point and that seems more consistent with my theories of wolves in this game than students.

i know you have another approach to wolfhunting that involves voting for random people and seeing how they respond to your questions and that’s cool! This is just all I’ve got right now. It’s also possible that other nonwolves have a more simple village affiliation with a more simple wincon of hunt the wolves and no info about other factions and my house is just weird! I guess I’m sticking my neck out in the hopes that if my theory is right the majority of players will read this, realize it tracks with the info they have in their own role pms and think that maybe theres something to the logic I’m laying out here!

Fair! I think finding my argument valid or not shouldn’t require anyone to out themselves.

Yeet Wisp, yo

(Just FYI I'll be putting out-of-character stuff in parentheses so it's easier to parse out the roleplay stuff from the Nate Thoughts™.

Heading out for a bit, but I'll be around to do a full catch-up later tonight. The vote is a mild ping on Wisp based on his reaction to Clem's early claim of being aligned with Zenge)

I'm still waiting for you to show me these different factions and what their wincon is that makes them more dangerous than wolves. Flavor =/= faction. This is the last time I'll be repeating this line until 8pm tomorrow.

I'm not voting for random people btw. I always have a reason for my pressure.

It does though

The strongest argument for why your assumptions about wincons are wrong would be revealing wincons that prove them to be wrong. And those more inclined to agree with you probably have wincons more similar to (or the same as) yours, which I guess for me doesn't matter since that just puts them in the exclusive bucket with you. But take a step back and realize you're risking outting your own faction with these perspective pushes.

Unless your plan was to say all this so you could identify the other members of your faction more easily, in which case

I do think it's likely wolves know more about the other factions than it being simply wolves vs village, whether it is part of their wincon or not. Otherwise, again, the game would be breakable by mass claim, and Sporty doesn't design her games that way.
 
gth, zori probably town, ill double check sfter i fully go through their iso

What was reason to vote for chic before anyone posted anything?

And I feel like this should be clear but I’m not making this argument about factions with the intent of convincing clever tone that they should care more about factions than wolves. I think everyone who’s not a wolf has the biggest common goal in catching wolves.

I’m saying that your claim that we don’t know about non-wolf factions is wolf-indicative based on my theory of how factions work in this game. I have spelled out that theory to support that case. You still haven’t refuted that point and instead are accusing me of prioritizing faction-hunting over wolf-hunting and that’s not what I’m dying.
 
So you did see the line about not all wincons being exclusive then
I honestly don’t know what wincons being exclusive or not has to do with the argument I’m making
