THIS AM, THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT:


subbed in at 8:58

discussion in last ~10mins ( have to go back and check exact time but lost all my quotes last time i did that and just had to pull them again)








Vote at 9:57
One hour means that person, unless a fanatic, has not been following the thread. High volume posting means they needed to vote with minimal info. I didn't hate that vote as she made sure chaos was minimized leaving tie off the board.
 
Tbh, I was trying to glean something useful in the mere hour I had to analyze chat. Y’all had 36 hours to do that.

Yeah, I buy this. I haven't been able to stay up on this thread even being able to check in on my phone throughout the day. 25ish pages in an hour is a tall order.
 
You literally just did.
This was a post attacking me for literally just being online at yeet close

And you jumped on the bandwagon immediately after to stoke the flames.

And now you’re being intentionally obtuse about doing it.
Jaboo made an observation that I didn't interpret as an attack. I shared my read. I am wolf reading you, and sharing wolf reads is part of the game. I really don't appreciate being called obtuse because this is my genuine interpretation of the exchange and I'm sorry if that came off as an attack.

I'm not sure what's going on with all the tension tonight but I'm really trying to not fuel it.
 
Yes, she had one hour to get a feel for the thread and vote. Why are you not also pressuring Vis, mayo, and mkg for similar late votes despite being in the thread way longer?
It struck me the way she nonchalant put her vote there with a little joke that put the nail in the coffin of any of the 2nd place contenders.

okay great and what did you get from Alissa that made you vote there. And who is y'all because i didn't.

jaboo was a slated, signed up sub from the beginning. Not a begged to come in last second player.

You're telling me as a sub you make sure to read everything, especially on day1? That doesn't really jive, especially with a bunch of vet students and veterinarians. haha

Okay.
Didn’t want to mention this until after write-up, but Zenge was lurking at close.
When the majority of the roster is here at yeet close, why do you think calling me out for also being here, and using sketchy associated words like “lurking” isn’t an attack? Please be as specific as possible because I don’t honestly believe you can’t understand that.

I also can’t believe that you don’t think adding to that comment and saying I’ve been “giving you bad vibes all game” isn’t adding fuel to the fire. Explain to me why you think that your comment isn’t an escalating one.

well I'm a type A med student
Not much, just didn’t want a waffle-fest at the end that would allow wolves to vote off a villager.
or, you prevented a waffle-fest which may have saved the villager you voted off
 
That doesn't explain why you're not pressuring the others. It also didn't look like a joke to me.
it looked really flippant. And I have to search through them more another time. I have to be up in less than 6 hours for a 12 hour shift and have more reading to do before bed.

I guess I did used to play all day evry' day as a student.

And yes, that last bit as far as trying to save a villager didn't quite work. Might if she had voted zen then given the reason of lurking. Things to investigate.

What looked flippant? I hope by "another time" you mean when you next get on. Otherwise, this is heavy cherrypicking.
 
This catch-up is brought to you by the letter Tuesday Night Genny and the number Wine:
Yep. She reacted to something recently so shes here. It really seems like she only came on to defend herself from my pressure. I'm fully expecting a repeat of Basics.
This is the thing I was thinking about earlier, where Zenge dropped MsP ASAP as soon as she posted A Thing. Without actually evaluating that Thing in any way.
Making me uncomfortable whatever it is.
I don't know why I quoted this. But I'm all for making Midwife uncomfortable.
I would specifically like to hear why you have Lupin as a village lean, because I feel that she is being a bit cagey (even for her) so far, tbh.

I have her very solidly neutral, which is where she will remain until she is dead, haha.
I specifically said I'm not putting her as village yet. I believe we share a similar outlook on Lupin. I just want her to be village. Because she's really good as a villager.
This noob generation, including me, tends to try to play nice.
TRY HARDER. Y'all are mean as cat **** sometimes. Just as bad as everyone else who plays the game.
I was the one who had asked him for reads.
You ask a lot of people for reads. It's like your go-to question. Great way for a wolf to look like they're contributing, eh?
I wanted to vote shorty (gut feel) up until the end of page 11, but my impression has changed a bit now.

yeet Zenge

because there's a chance I'll not notice close if I keep going without placing a vote.
I think I wanted to know more about why you voted Zenge, Sporty.
whoops

tomato tomato
Rutabaga rutabaga
Yeah, I don't either if she's only to page 9.

Unyeet Vissy
Yeet genny
Yeah, that's wrong. Are you trying to defend Zenge or Pleasy? Who's in your pack?
 
Okay.

I'm trying not to fuel the personal attacks. Calling you wolfy is not a personal attack. Calling me intentionally obtuse is.

I understand that my comment was escalating in terms of adding fuel to others' perceptions of your wolfiness. I understand that Jaboo saying you're lurking adds fuel to others' perception of your wolfiness. That is what you do for wolf reads. You share observations and discuss and ultimately we're all trying to get our wolf reads yeeted.

I think "attack" is a strong word to describe the vocabulary choice of "lurking." Yes, a lot of people were here at yeet close, but a lot of us were posting. Jaboo could be wrong. I don't know, I haven't checked yet, but my headache isn't really encouraging me to do that tonight.
 
This catch-up is brought to you by the letter Tuesday Night Genny and the number Wine:
If I quote this with some kind of approving remark, will I get an AM angry react? :thinking:

Wine is good
 
genny, did you just call cat **** mean? Is it? I mean, it smells, and I get tired of yelling at the dogs to stop trying to eat it, but mean? interesting. Unless there is another four letter word related to cats that is mean. Did I misread that?
 
I specifically said I'm not putting her as village yet. I believe we share a similar outlook on Lupin. I just want her to be village. Because she's really good as a villager.
So do you have her village leaning, or do you want her to be village?

You said the former. I was curious why, specifically.

Is that not a common expression? Did my mom make that one up too?

how is it cherry picking to sus the person who came onto the vote last and put Alissa's tally out of reach of the 2nd place contenders being discussed?

Because there were three other late votes that also occurred. alissa was out of reach before jboo even voted.

What a strange question to ask people in a game about reading people 🙄. Are you going to do the thing where you tunnel me and misyeet me again, genny? Because I pressed you for reads you refused to give, and still refuse to give?
Yeah, that's wrong. Are you trying to defend Zenge or Pleasy? Who's in your pack?
I've posted my reads multiple times. Why would you think I'm defending pleasy? Here's a refresher from earlier, and I'll update with current feels/changed reads in bold. How bout then you give some of YOUR wolf reads, finally?
These are not in an order.

genny - the lack of reads in response to my question bothers me a lot. Mayo mentioned earlier that many of genny's posts are joke posts, which seems to be just general!genny, and I think the fighting with AM is more related to last game than necessarily AI in this game. But she's also not making any effort to contribute to the village bloc or to find wolves. This is still true. You aren't doing anything to wolf hunt, you're just getting defensive about being called out on it.

pleasy - pleasy yesterday was giving me some wolf vibes because she hadn't posted all that much and when she did post, it felt defensive and not really like cohesive trains of thought. I'd mentioned yesterday that wolf!pleasy and village!pleasy were extremely similar to me and I misread her when she was wolfing, which could make me read into her posts too harshly in this game. She posted a big reads post while I was writing this one, and while I appreciate that (and the color coding within it), I think the reasoning on some of her reads is questionable/unclear. Not willing to move her out of my wolf leans based on that.

April - April's push on Zenge seems weak to me, and yesterday, it was basically kicked off with the argument of "well, we haven't seen wolf!Zenge yet and it's bound to happen at some point." That she's still pushing it today in light of his posts last night/this morning feels kind of strange to me. I had April as neutral yesterday, but I'm feeling more wolfy vibes from her today. I feel like April is tunneling Zenge and I'd like to see more wolf reads from her than just him. I have not moved her read based on today. I've also felt like there's been some soft defense back and forth between genny and April, and given that I'm wolf reading both of you, it doesn't feel very good.

mkg - mkg seems like she's playing differently than she did in Goats. In the goats game, she came out of the gate strong, to the point that a few people (including me) were a little suspicious of how much knowledge she already had about the game, the terminology she was using, etc., and thought she was being coached. I'm not really seeing that as much in this game. Her response to me last night when I asked for reads, and she said that she was busy defending herself from a misyeet, was odd given that this is a 36/12 game. Is it possible that she didn't think about that because Goats was 12/12? Maybe, but it was a strange thing to say. She did provide her reads eventually, but I'd like to see more from her today. I don't think the whole PM thing has much significance, and mkg isn't one of my stronger leans in this category at the moment. I have moved mkg more toward neutral for the moment but want to see more tomorrow.


Adding katashark to the list. Really didn't post much, didn't give any explanation of the vote. Didn't like it. Sketchy vibes and hope there's more tomorrow.

Also adding alley to the list. Had alley as neutral before, but the echo-y posts and posting spreadsheets that were pretty empty felt like an attempt to look like making an effort while not really making that big of one.

Still haven't seen enough from Vissy to have her as anything higher than neutral. I don't think pawprints is necessarily wolfing, but I hope to see some more contribution from her tomorrow with reads and explanations.

Your turn, genny.
 
genny, I voiced my Zenge concerns earlier. Tone was more wolfy than villagey and I didn't agree with the way conclusions were drawn.
Are you still intending to get caught up? I don't really love that you made a show of catching up just till near lynch close, then you've obviously still been around but seem to have stopped.
 
Contingency yeet Zenge

I like the pressure there, I’ll stick with it until I have compelling evidence elsewhere.
Jaboo, I’d like you to explain this comment you made:
Didn’t want to mention this until after write-up, but Zenge was lurking at close. Saw them like something and now I can’t find the post they liked.
When the majority of the roster is online at yeet close, why did you feel the need to single me out for also being here, and specifically to throw shade on me by intentionally using negative language like lurking?
 
Your turn, genny.
Yeah, no. That’s not how this works. I think you need to re-evaluate whether I am attempting to contribute despite my busy schedule and need for wine, or whether I am actually a wolf. And if you decide I am actually a wolf, then you need to ask yourself 2 questions:
1) is Shorty wolfing right now? And
2) how did Shorty get to be so gosh darn awful at reading genny, who is like one of the most transparent villagers to ever play this game?

Yeah, no. You act like a wolf, I keep my wolf read on you. Sorry. I don't buy WIFOM.

Maybe try wolfhunting or building a village bloc tomorrow if you want a village read.

Maybe you should try wolf hunting. I hear it’s all the rage these days.

Remember the last game when basically every villager and person in dead chat were dead certain you were wolfing?

I'm not reading you wolfy right now but that's definitely not a great reason to read you village.

Because you showed evidence of reading and reacting to thread but had not posted recently. I’ve done that plenty a time as a wolf. Keep in mind that my definition of “recently” may be subjective given the sheer mass of people that were posting.
