Such an enjoyable film though!!!

Contingency Lynch Ziggy

Quick re-read basically just cemented for me that 2 wolves were up today, they tried a ghosting strategy, it bombed, and she flipped it at the buzzer so they both didn't die in a tie.

So like....yeah.

Spoiler: Not my first rodeo

 

[Stroganoff]

I mean, they have a vested interest in remaining in the 90s given that they still existed in the 90s

Kinda like blockbuster lol

So apparently Blockbuster is alive and well in Alaska. Because Alaska. And Toys 'R' Us is making a comeback but in malls, kinda like KayBee?

I guess all of this is moot unless VMH is 3P for sure and not wolf, but I liked the afflack actions today.

Actually, there is at this point only one sole Blockbuster in the whole world and it's located in Bend, Oregon

I had this on my 90's mixtape recorded from the radio. Totally not sorry.

Edit: Thanks. The Blockbuster website only lists the Bend, OR, location and nothing in AK. My trivia is outdated.

I'm imagining this is playing in a loop in wolf chat

Spoiler: What's the deal with wolf chat?

 

[holdthemayo]

Great work everyone. Now we are getting somewhere. Solid save from whomever stopped the vengeful kill.

 

[holdthemayo]

Also, I'm kind of glad that the tie didn't work. Maybe I'm still scarred from the noob game, but the mods could have easily turned it against us. I was killed along with a second villager for causing a tie in the noob game.

That’s not generally how ties work in most games. Mods I believe were trying to make a point that bad things can occasionally happen, but generally just one person dies in a tie. Sometimes both. Occasionallyyyyyyyyyyy there are bad things that happen.

 

[WildZoo]

Sometimes ties are pretty benign, sometimes they cause a tear in the fabric of the universe (@Trilt)

You need to say things about where you would look next because I fear for your safety.

you mean death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away?

Spoiler: I'm livin life do or die, what can I say?

 

[genny]

Given the fantastic success that the village has enjoyed in stopping wolf kills thus far, I don't have a whole lot of faith in not losing a villager overnight.

What if I just spew 6 million songs instead of reads lol

Reads sound like work

Spoiler: And this wasn't written about me

 

[genny]

Yeah, I suppose I might consider you converted if you're still here tomorrow.... I can't see any other reason why you wouldn't be tonight's kill choice.

aw genny you don't like country?

fun fact I grew up in new england but listened to country almost exclusively until ~1995 when I went to horseback riding camp and discovered pop music

I'm trying to provide enough valuable 90s content so I don't get night killed immediately

i worked at a really crappy job in high school for a racist, sexist jerkoff who only played country in the store. it colored my perception of the genre.

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

update: I have another call to go in. That's 7 today. I wonder if it's a record (for comparison I've never had more than 3, even on a weekend)

if it helps, you can picture a smöl girl galloping a pony bareback across the montana sage fields, singing this in my mind:

Spoiler: fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue

country music's got a lot of jerk fans
but so does every genre

 

[PippyPony]

Probably about time for this

Spoiler: Cowgirl pip

Yes, those are indeed peeper keepers around my neck/glasses. And my mom cut off the picture but I am wearing riding tights with stirrups but no socks, and these

 

[PippyPony]

Not sure why @vetmedhead thought my fashion sense needed an upgrade, tbh

 

[genny]

You know how sounds and smells can just bring back memories really vividly? It's kind of like that, rather than an association of the genre with jerks.

Please point me to the BS in question, because it kiiiiiiinda sounds like you're just a little pissed off that your pack buddy died

Which means that you are the lucky winner of this cycle's Most Important Wolf award

Detested country music with a passion my entire life until ~2019. Now it's a big part of what I listen to while driving.

This entire scheme was ****ing ridiculous, suddenly deciding you were cool with a tie on your #1 lynch read and someone who you have waffled back on forth on being kinda-okay kinda-not-okay to suddenly *gasp* they must both be wolves and if we lynch them both they'll definitely all die because we know there are no mods who have simply made ties no kill events ever in the history of WW

Then suddenly I'm a Mastermind who is running a fuggen 90s cult behind the scenes. You know, with my pals the misfit toys from Toy Story and Toys R Us. Think it's a toy cult maybe? I'm their evil overlord Tickle Me Elmo?

And then roping this entire dumb ass village into your completely ridiculous plot

Not to mention almost breaking the tie onto the non-wolf your own damn self

But you know what, you're right, I'm just pissed that my pack mate died. There is not a single better, less time wasting explanation for any of my consternafion. Please, lynch me post haste so that you may gloat on thread over the remains of Elmo

Spoiler: Tickle this

 

[vetmedhead]

>imagine never finishing the lynch tracker AM started
>imagine lynching another wolf
>imagine not making any other lynch trackers with the new wolf info
>imagine

 

[PippyPony]

Apologies for articulating this poorly but I hoped to have more time to analyze this than I probably will end up having. If you thought I was incoherent earlier, please enjoy my un-edited stream of consciousness

Think there are two possible scenarios here

1) Less Likely -- Meats is 3P and wolves decided to gamble it all on a Ziggy lynch for cred instead of gunning for chaos, hoping that either I was full of **** entirely, orrrrr I was NOT bluffing and that I would 1. (best scenario) take out another villager with me (so Ziggy would die but so would 2 villagers); 2. I would die and would take out 3P Meats for them so they did not have to night kill (medium scenario); 3. or (worst scenario) I would die but take out another wolf.
If 2 villagers died, then I believe the game may have been over even if Ziggy died. Any option in this bucket means they would be playing the odds though, and based on this pack, I do not feel they would roll the dice to that degree. If so, it means that someone who is closer to my village column is a wolf.

2) More likely - Meats is in fact the critical wolf mechanics wise, and so they decided to sacrifice Ziggy so she could take me out for being a pain in their asses, and save Meats.

> imagine being a village so dumb you waste literal days of time you should be actually wolf hunting going after a 3p instead
> imagine being a village that loses a game because they can't handle the existence of a neutral
> imagine how neutral I'm going to feel when you lynch me and it turns out that I'm neutral

 

[PippyPony]

And tbh I have yet to even read all those waffles closely, but the "y no lynch genny" comment felt like a real big red flag from Mutts

Mayo's comment afterwards thanking whoever did this sounded like someone fishing for confirmation, but also could be noob doing noob thangs. Hard to say.

Please point me to a stage in this game where I have not been actively wolf hunting, including all the way through today

And neutrals blow chunks. Upgrade yourself to chaos, step up your game overall, and then I'll feel more ok with losing to your unaffiliated trash reads 😉

For the record, I hope you are either a beanie baby or a furby

 

[PippyPony]

Maybe a tamagotchi but that feels too benign.

 

[PippyPony]

And then roping this entire dumb ass village into your completely ridiculous plot

Ah yes. The completely ridiculous plot where I lynched my top wolf read and shoved her vengeance back in her face after scaring the crap out of you unseasoned whiny 20-somethings because you were jumpy enough to believe I made a bomb

>Imagine when you come at me now and discover I wasn't joking way back when I told you I hoped you had a strongarm

 

[PippyPony]

Real talk though @vetmedhead -- I don't think a neutral is supposed to get that a n g e r y when they can purportedly win with either side, so you may want to look into those chill pills you mentioned earlier before you rupture a vessel and throw a clot somewhere lol

 

[muttmanager]

Your tunnel on me, I played my part in leaving the tie even with barely skimming

Spoiler: RL note but 90s related

I spent most of yesterday moving (and today) and found:

-the CD cleaner (photo in other post)
-a camcorder
-VHS home videos + movies
-a million cassette tapes
-an ipod nano (not 90s but close enough)

I’ll be catching up tomorrow

 

[PippyPony]

Uh huh. You are so trustworthy that there is no way your goal there was to flip it last minute before I came back on at 8:58. 🙄

I thought I made it very clear that only trustworthy players get to be the ones who abstain from a vote like that. That category does not include you until I do another re-read with confirmed Ziggy info, miss vouched-by-wolf.

Not in the same pack (not w/w; no order to list):
Cubs - mutts

Lots of interactions with known wolves; possible w/w with Ziggy or Dina (not really in order):

Couple weird pings on radar related to abilities or one-off comments about mechanics or things that might suggest knowledge of wolf roles or strategy:
Afflac
Mayo

Miz

That's all I got for now.

Don't muck it up when/if I'm gone (but don't worry, it will be easier to avoid mucking up without me diving first into the mud! 🙂 )

 

[PippyPony]

Someone should ask vmh why she was chaos hunting/selling the idea of other players as chaos so hard back at the beginning of the thread if she is indeed third party herself.🤔
