Fire Emblem: Three HoWWses Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got the same impression as you with the genuine sounding so villagey side of neutral for that reason. Where has she sounded careful to you?
It’s a general tone from her posts like this:

I agree fluff switching a vote to appease others is wolfy-ish and so they're on my radar. But I also think it'd be absolutely wild if they were a wolf and came in saying they are supposed to kill a specific faction in the game lol, so at this point I'm leaning towards fluff just not being confident in their yeets.
Like I get it, she’s trying to account for everything but it just feels like she’s hesitant to take a firm position. Gives a sort of hedgy feeling like her thoughts on fluffy above.
 
@Wiisp your question to April made you feel better or worse about her?
I mean it depends on how wolves are rolled in this game, because honestly their character would be a weird as hell wolf lmao.

And my only ability being a role seer, that is also one shot either exists to catch someone lying about their flavor, or wolves in fact can be caught via flavor and probably have fake claims

Actually that was one of the posts from her that I liked. The first sentence read to me more like a transition statement as she responded and the second sentence is a point that she made at least two or three times leading up to yeet close, so I like that she's been standing her ground on it.

But you don’t think she lied about her flavor?
 
Wondalfy's posts that feel consistent about her take on fluff
I think fluff is less sus simply because I don't think a wolf would publicly say that their goal is to kill a whole faction lol

This + once again, would be wild for fluff to be a wolf and claim they're supposed to kill a whole group of people
 
Question for everyone: how are you reading Wondas? Because looking at her posts, they feel a bit genuine sounding to me… but i’m also getting feelings of trying to be safe and careful. Feeling pretty mixed so far so i have her on neutrals.
She reads as village, maybe even neutral to me since this is pretty much how she played last game. I realize I completely flipped the script on her as seeming wolfy for these exact reasons, but this just seems like her play style.

I get this, but this is basically how I play. I like to line out all possibilities I can think of publicly but also say which one I agree with the most/lean towards, or if I have no idea. I like this because in case I die and never get to say the theory, it allows some other villagers to think it over + it allows me to see who likes what/dislikes what/ignores what and make further guesses. There are very few cases where I keep something to my chest (i.e. I really think revealing it would hurt village/my faction/etc). It seemed to work decently in my first game so I'm keeping it. I'm not going to pretend that I don't think it'd be a decent strat if I ever played a wolf in a game and could pull it off. That's part of why I chose to play that way in my first game.

Also specifically regarding fluff, I don't like the fluff vote train for the reasons I've already mentioned. Fluff just seemed like a really easy scapegoat/huge train potential after some slightly sus comments from fluff, but the whole faction elimination admission got rid of all sus for me (for now). As I've said, I don't see a benefit in a wolf saying that. This means PSV is still the highest sus to me. Probably second highest is chic due to other comments that made me raise my eyebrows a little and a very similar playstyle to the last game (although I must admit, there may be some bias here + the playstyle is good as village, which is why I thought they were village for a long time in the first place...). But not feeling amazing about anyone on that train.

yeet PSV @kaydubs

Right now I'm sussing on Poppy.

This is going to sound hypocritical but, I feel like she's mentioned the last game a little too much for my liking. It almost feels like someone hiding behind that past experience as an excuse to be less engaged this game or asking for forgiveness for questionable voting patterns. While I do concur that last game was a whole mess in itself, I feel like Poppy has made continuous comment about it to the point that it feels a little excuse-y.

As a completely non-scientific read, I feel that Poppy is playing how a newbie wolf would play - saying a few things here or there, but hesitant to make any strong comments towards any particular person for fear of standing out. The majority of her posts yesterday were actually about zuri and his maybe-village, maybe-wolfiness (which, given that zuri is a polarizing player, is a safe place for her to stay and waffle instead of trying to sus out others.)

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)

I think zuri's aggressive interrogating seems to stick out like a sore wolfy thumb. But I wouldn't be shocked by past game bias. Which also makes it really hard to tell the difference between village!zuri and wolf!zuri. I've never seen how zuri plays village, but considering he seemed to really fool fluff our last game, I'm assuming it's very similar. For now I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm scared to be wrong again.

Oh, I think it's wolfy behavior, but mostly going off fluff's shock at zuri flipping wolf last game. This could have been feigned, but if it's genuine, it makes me wonder if this is just how he plays. Either way, it's hard for me to read him.

This feels like a armistice (rage quit?) That makes me lean v!zuri
 
Yes, I already stated it twice today
Sorry I must've missed them. Doing an ISO now...
The comment Nate made about not wanting zuri to get yeeted without doing anything kind of caught my eye
Hmm I'm trying to figure out where the switch from Nate strongly questioning those defending zuri to not liking that zuri was leading?
(Okay, I'm filling in gaps, but you're still defending zuri? Noticed that early on and made a mental note to check again later since defending your townreads is something I look for from you)
Nate was asking why Santy was speaking on behalf of zuri as his manatee. He seemed pretty sussed on zuri
(Still don't like that zuri's leading, for the record)
But then switched to not wanting zuri in the lead? I tried to find where this switch happened but I can't seem to find it. Either that, or his reasoning was weak.

I don't see anywhere in that comment where Nate was saying zuri was sus? He was talking more about Santy defending his townreads.
 
I understand I've been fairly quiet, but I'm not as vocal the first few days since there's nothing to go off of at this point except speculation. It's kinda tricky for me to make a strong argument when it's only day 2.

I can see that. But many of the other players have been throwing references to previous games left and right as justification for questioning each others' play styles. It's been helpful to see the analyses by the veteran players who can recognize patterns in others' play styles. only have 1 previous game to go off of that happened fairly recently, so I'm assuming that players in that game would play similarly to how they played just a couple weeks ago?

Ah. Thank you for clarifying. It just stuck out to me that he wasn't clearing zuri as town but also skeptical of those voting for him.

Also this only stuck out to me when I did an ISO on genny to see their reasoning for voting Nate. Then I did an ISO on Nate to see if there was any substance to it. I wanted to see if anyone noticed anything weird to justify genny's vote. Genny is high on my POE so I'm reluctant to agree with their line of thinking. I have a similar approach to wonda of thinking out loud.

Remember that genny is outted so literally everything she does is WIFOM. :bag:
 
Remember I haven’t flipped and you don’t know jack
There is a nonzero likelihood you are alpha, so my approach atm at least is to treat everything you say as if you were wolf... just in case, you know, you are actually wolf.

Actually, I think the opposite would have been sketchier: if Nate was clearing Zuri as village; that would mean he had some insider knowledge (like being a wolf). I don’t get why Nate being concerned strikes others as wolfy; wiisp was also saying stuff like “Zuri is probably town” and didn’t move his vote to change the situation.

That’s great, except I’m not a wolf, so if you use anything I say or do as evidence that someone else is a wolf, your calculations will be off. So continuing to analyze my interactions is probably useless.

I think this post is the towniest thing from genny all game
 
I'm sorry for killing the thread, can u keep posting plz, I read when I'm bored at work
 
When I get home and read, sure, tmr is also my day off so I have a decent chunk of time after about an hour
 
He's one of the people I thought had a weird handling of zuri. :sorry:
Weird in what way?

The townread ? Personally, I remember Nate calling me out on my townread on Zuri, like fanning/trying to incentivize me into shielding zuri more, if it makes any sense.b

Atm I thought that Nate thought to be of the same aff as zuri. Any specifics on why the handling was wolfy?

Stuff like asking zuri how he felt about genny then saying he village read zuri for maintaining his village read on genny.

I'm still lost on zuri, but I independently have a problem with Nate.

Hmmm so are you thinking that the plan may have been for zuri to flip village and take heat off genny and Nate?

I hate to use his self-vote as clearance, but I have a really hard time imagining wolf!zuri to go out like that. It seemed like pure frustration.

I also think the frustration was genuine, regardless of aff. There are other stuff to reach the conclussion that zuri is likely village methinks

I don't know. I don't often think in these types of what-ifs. :sorry:
 
Mostly I'm going by vibe and stuff from D1 but I did quick... Discarding? Of people I was side-eyeing yesterday and put a vote on April until I read more carefully tomorrow.

Regardless I think the easy read of the faction-less message + vis kill pointing there seems good enough to poke there a bit.

I'll reread Nate eventually ig but thats my honest work atm

But why? It made sense to me. A wolf would have tried to self prez no matter what. Nate was just pointing out that Zuri’s reluctance to self prez leans him more village.
 
I’m constantly getting confused by Santy’s and AM’s avatars; they re so close in color palette

I've seen wolves either forget to or deliberately avoid self-prezzing numerous times. At this point though, I'm just focusing on Lawpy to see what he brings. :shy:

Did Nate actually say that and I missed it? I just remember him basically being like "still don't think Zuri should be yeeted" but standing back and letting it happen anyway

He did, before the 3-way tie. Zuri was winning with 6 votes for a while and Genny had 5 at the time I think.
