Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[the worst]

i think it's unique because we already use it (thinking back to keyser soze's "wolf in sheep's clothing")
that being said i actually think i like it a little and the alliteration of Dannflor/Deepwolf is kinda snazzy

let me meditate on it

[Pine]

this title seems very generic

Hence the suggestion of adding the ? to the end. It invokes the uncertainty and paranoia they’re referencing

[Firebringer]

I think the question mark doesn't elicit the kind of impression you are going for?

[mastina]

Yeah this with either capitalization is solid enough to get the 48 hour treatment from me; speak now or forever hold your peace.

was this rejected by cfj

Title fairy error, here.
I was under the impression that I had sent the PM to cfj.

Apparently, I did not.

Doing so now.

I like all of the mason variants for mastina. Does anyone have an argument against or a reason for a specific one? I feel like the discussion there just kinda died for no reason.

It rewards poor play.

[Gamma Emerald]

Who says it's poor play though?

[Alisae]

do u like it when mastina claims mason?

[Gamma Emerald]

Not really, but it's more of an annoyance and there's strategy to be had there.

Lynch All Liars

Not really, but it's more of an annoyance and there's strategy to be had there.

The strategy is self-sabotage. It's essentially a Willy Wonka forward roll. It's done for cheap humor and it has the lasting effect of sowing a seed of doubt that harms town (if mastina is town). The only potentially beneficial strategy is self-serving.

[Gamma Emerald]

I don't really think that's always true

[Oversoul]

Is Lynch All Liars still a thing..?

Willy Wonka forward roll

I want a wiki page for this in the gambits

do it yourself cuz no one cares

[Gamma Emerald]

Would need a better name: Gene Gambit/Wilder Gambit?

[Errantparabola]

Idk if this makes sense but maybe something like
Categorizer for plotinus?
I feel like they're very organized/clear about things in a way most people arent. Most plot posts I'm like "woah this seems much more well thought out than most posts".
Might be a better title for describing that though.
Cat being integrated in it is maybe a bonus

Categories -> pays homage to Plotinus's naming schema for newbie games which i think is a big part

The WW Forward Roll? Just Forward Roll for short?

[Jingle]

I think it applies as a fairly generic scum move (asking for a protown action in a way to get it it shot down instead of actually considered). Regardless, probably a discussion to take to md.

I disagree that faking masons is objectively bad play, although perhaps the consistency with which mastina does it could make it so. It’s a more extreme version of an arbitrary townread, which I’ve seen used to good effect. It’s objectively good for scum mastina, and theoretically has the effect of lowering the kill rate on a high power slot (mason) while raising the kill rate on a low power slot (neighbor).

The risk is also low yield: mastina and her neighbor become ‘unlynchable’ but that just reduces the odds from n/m to n-1/m-1 for a scum lynch.

TL;dr I don’t think you can say it’s objectively bad play, regardless of how annoying you personally feel it is.

Forward Roll sounds like a Smash Bros. technique

cfj has accepted this, so as soon as I have the WiFi password to use my laptop rather than my phone (and assuming that there's no family reunion stuff interfering), I'll be adding his title in.

Edit:

done!
