A Lighthouse, A Man, A City...A BioShock WW Game

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know people have to catch up, but it clutters the thread so much when we're on page 24, 20ish minutes from yeet, and people are posting responses to things said on like, page 6. It's not reflective of the current gamestate and I don't think it's actually very helpful as a result.

I know that's an unpopular opinion, but this thread is growing like crazy because of stuff like that.
I'm just hoping it doesn't end when the clock strikes 10. It's extremely hard to get a good feel from the out-of-sync stuff in combination with never catching up.
 
Quick note - I'm pretty sure she called herself not fun while revenge lynching me for daring to question her, actually.

I'm having a grand ole time with her rn.
actually no, i said YOU weren't fun and you would be okay with that being a secondary reason to yeet you since you said you yeet players who aren't fun.
And yeah, sunshine, I didn't see anything new on your spreadsheet that wasn't offered quite a bit earlier. Anything besides Lawpy coming up in your reads?
I actually had zero reads the first time i posted the spreadsheet, and several of my notes were from today
 
Lost the post but someone, I think chaos, was sketched out by Lawpy tinfoiling and mechanics speculation. From anyone else I'd be right there with you, but that's just what Lawpy does.


From you, however... hm. Does anyone else remember to what extent baseless (I don't mean this pejoratively to your speculation, I just mean there's been nothing in-game to prompt it and it isn't contributing to wolfhunting) mechanics speculation is part of mayo's village play and wolf play?

Mostly having PM groups linked to locations. The Hannibal game was set up in a similar way. There was a wolf pack and a 3P psychopath (who ended up winning).

The areas are also the levels in the first Bioshock game, but multiple factions (Ryan, Fontaine, Tanenbaum) would fit with the game really well.
 
I still haven't pages pages 9-17, but someone posted an iso of alissa's posts during that period and the HEAVY defensieness when there wasn't a big push on her at the time was even worse than the posts that initially sketched me out.

Now that I've made it this far, I can actually comment and answer your question with all of the necessary context. Honestly, it still seems like typical pleasy. I would expect more analysis, but I understand what she's saying. I'm not sure if it would be orchestrated but I tend to agree with her that AM is leaning more wolfy than April at the moment (caught up through mid-page 12). Their arguing could easily be v/v and I kind of doubt that it would be orchestrated in wolf chat since it seemed pretty organic and spontaneous, not coached/rehearsed.
So how are you actually reading it beyond just saying it could be any combination of v/v v/w besides w/w?
also mayo (in the one game I remember playing with them) gives me wolf vibes... often... I mean day one... "The Lord forgives everything. But I’m just a prophet, so I don’t have to."

idk maybe their style and I just am oblivious
what about that quote bothered you?
Still have you as a wolf lean, but I'm feeling a bit better about your affiliation.
Feels hedgy
I do not like how quiet she is since it has been historically AI (known for being a low-posting wolf), according to some of the vets in the last game she played, where her low-posting got her misyeeted.
How does this make sense? She was a low poster last game and was village (as has been mentioned multiple times) and she’s a low poster as a wolf so it definitely is not AI in any way
 
I feel like you had a really strong argument for alissa, why are you sitting on visc?
Also, although alissa has been uber sketchy to me and I've made arguments for that, if I move my vote to someone else tonight off Vissy, it will be to genny because I really don't like how she wouldn't give any answer for wolf reads despite repeated pushing.
 
Wolfy:
Alleycat - I'm not following her logic much at all
Genny - Refusing to give wolf reads and very defensive. She's been given multiple opportunities to give something.
Cyndia - already explained
Alissa - Don't like the naked vote on kata, or most of the rest of the day


Zeng was wolfy, but I like how he's responded to the pressure

Neutral:
Kata - seems normal
LIS - Wolfhunting, but limited time on
Lupin - Reminds me of Mel.. which means I probably can't read her

Vis and Sporty are moving toward village since hoping on

Villagey:
Cray - Seems normal D1 Cray. I don't always agree, but she is wolfhunting.
April - I find myself nodding along with most of her posts. Doesn't feel like wolf April.
M - already explained
Trout - Solid wolf hunting. I dont' agree with some gameplay theory stuff (intentionally throwing a game), but is wolfhunting and making sense so far.
Chaos - already explained
Shorty - Shorty being shorty
Maybe mother sporty (I've been burnt before)

One interpretation is wolfy because the read-giver is intentionally limiting the information they share which can be anti-village. The other interpretation is NAI because saying that you'd like to analyze all the information you have before coming out of the gate swinging is a fair way to play.

Just examples, AM. It's what I could pull quickly so I can get on with my catch-up.
April's serious tone, somewhat more terse than what I associate with her, is reminding me of Basics. Was it similar when she was villaging in goats?

Slight lean on AM in which direction?
Your interest in other people's reads of AM is noted.


An odd way of accidentally saying "I'm a wolf that needs to be careful about what reads I put out there in case I need to change them for what's in my pack's best interest."
Hm. Good point. However, I'm taking with a grain of salt because April's tone and the April/AM/genny interactions are creeping me out so I don't really trust April's reads.

Whatever April and AM are doing right now, it just seems like a big distraction and is not making me want to lean either of them village.
I felt similarly, but now I'm questioning that inclination since I don't feel great about genny, either.

No, genny. You've already contradicted yourself once today. Now you're doing the thing where you act scared/uncomfortable with me talking on D1.

And you're doing that condescending tone that you use to make feel less doubt about your affiliation, but I'm just not feeling less doubtful. idk why.... maybe last game ruined my faith in ever being able to read you and now you're permawolf until seered otherwise.

Nowhere am I being condescending. I'm straight up calling you a wolf.

And you're straight up wrong.
This whole interaction feels different from v/v AM/genny tiffs in past games. Don't know if w/v, w/w, or v/w. Leaning away from w/w since AM is very clear on her stance on bussing, but I won't say it's impossible.

Nope, everyone is in the eel pool right now. No one has struck me as particularly village-sounding.
This is sketching me out. I always find at least some people strike me as sounding villagey when I'm a villager and looking for it. As a wolf, it's way harder, since you're looking for sketchy things villagers have said but you couldn't care less about figuring out who villagers are.

I think of April, AM, and genny, there are one or two wolves, and I'm leaning towards genny being the only one.

Lots of salt to be had from the previous game about AM on my end.
 
genny is kinda sus but so are all 3 of her voters
Still waiting to hear why you have a wolf lean on me. Your spreadsheet mentioned things earlier in gamestate and nothing recent.

It likely feels different because village!Genny carried wolf!AM to wolfy victory in the last game and Genny is still kicking herself for it.
