My thoughts/comments through page 58:

Kinda weird to reveal this unprompted? Not sure if that means its wolfy, but definitely odd?


Or its a rapidly growing wagon full of wolves right before the close with not much of an argument?


Someone took a close look at me N1. If Zenge was an affiliation seer, I take that to mean there are 2 factions. role seer = 1 faction. I think he seered me because I village read him D1, and he probably thought I was an easy pocket, which I was.


just leaving this to remind me to look for them, cause I haven't seen them yet


what do you mean by single ball/multiball here? is it like single or double pack/faction?


genny gets village points for bringing this up. I dropped info on her right before night close, and she could have very easily not shared the info or even led a wagon to get me out as a potential packmate for z if she were a wolf.


correct, however, I have reason to believe based on my N2 right up that Z was a role seer, not an affiliation seer


I'm getting ahead of myself, but I remember from my original read-through that Cyndia doesn't have me in my wolf reads anymore. The original push against me D1 left me very confused, as it seemed to come out of nowhere, gain a little talk (mayo mentioning twinges, lawpy not liking my reads, etc) and then disappear (except for Cyndia, but she swapped reasons) just as quickly, right after I unyeeted AM and I think Z defended me. I could definitely see one of Cyndia/Lawpy/Mayo as a wolf to help fabricate this week pressure on me so that Z could swoop in, defend, and pocket me


I'm free to answer questions now! Given that its very likely that the wolves know my role/affiliation I don't really have any info to hide so ask away

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm just curious about you mentioning you were watched and not seered. Was there a reason you said this instead? Did it have to do with the flavor result?

I said watched, because at first I thought I was watched, but the text could mean seered. Watcher was just the first thing that came to mind since there was the whole village watcher/wolf tracker in ggoats. I never have had a night result before so yeah, my first interpretation of it was wrong

 

[Dinashadow]

Just leaving these here just in case I'm not here tomorrow. I haven't really analyzed the voting for tonight yet, but this is what I currently have

Village: genny, jaboo, sporty, shorty, AM, Barks, chaos, cray, Lawpy
Neutral: prints, lupin, Trilt, MsP, mkg, please, mayo, LIS
Wolfy: kata, alley, cyndia

Hesitating on where to put mkg, but that'll be something I'll look into tomorrow. I want to move pleasy to village, but I'm feeling kind of paranoid about her at this second

 

[supershorty]

Continuing the info dump but trying to tl;dr things because some people hate the wall posts. I'm sorry, I have a lot to say after not being able to use words for 36 hours.

Re: loud actions: there are at least some notifications of actions. BOTH N1 and N2, I received notifications of actions on me. I said this in a gif earlier today, but I'm not sure how many people saw it. This is part of why I want to dump as much as I can on the thread right now, because now I've experienced communication being inhibited and I want to get it out there in case anything else happens.

Re: shorty's tone sounds different:

Spoiler: Feelings

I haven't played very many games, and yes, I am trying to take a slightly different tone - because in the earlier games (other than my noob game), I got incredibly competitive trying to win it for village, and 2 things happened:

1.) I was kind of a jerk sometimes, and I'm not proud of that. I don't want to be that person. sunshine and I have fought in almost every single game we've played together, and it's not fun for anyone. I'm really trying to remove rage!shorty from my meta because this is a game, and getting uber competitive to the point of being a dick is not what this is about.

2.) In the Basics game, as I mentioned, I was SUPER confident in my reads and was really trying to lead the village, especially once we had lost some of our veteran and really strong players very early in the game. I didn't reevaluate my reads in that game when I should have, but because I didn't, I confidently led the village to misyeet after misyeet, and effectively burned the village to the ground after we'd started so strong with 3 wolves on the board D1. And I felt responsible for driving the loss, even though it was a team effort, and it freaking sucked. The game after Basics, I died early so didn't really get a chance to build confident reads before I was dead, and now I'm here. And mkg calling out me out in this game made me think of Basics, and how I should at least take a second look at some of the early reads I was more confident in because not doing so in Basics was a total disaster. ISOs are great, but not perfect, especially if I'm not constantly reevaluating them along the way, which is what I'm doing in this game. I'm not as willing to go aggressively balls-to-the-wall on a read just based on an ISO at this point, but with ISOs, VCA, and the overall tone, I feel a little better.

Also, in the last game, I confidently charged into a night result that I misinterpreted, which led to a 5am fight with Cray (and fighting with Cray is kinda scary, ngl) in which I role revealed, which got me killed that night. So. I've made mistakes along the way and I'm trying to learn from them.

I'm not writing this asking anyone to village read me or telling them to, I just was frustrated by this comment all day because I couldn't really respond to it. I'm doing the best I can with the tools I have available, and I've been busting my ass in this game trying to do a better job than I've done in the last couple of games. I don't think there's anything else I can do at this point except continue to wolf hunt & build a village bloc to the best of my ability.

Contingency yeet AM

I'm out. Good night, everyone.

 

[Dinashadow]

I said watched, because at first I thought I was watched, but the text could mean seered. Watcher was just the first thing that came to mind since there was the whole village watcher/wolf tracker in ggoats. I never have had a night result before so yeah, my first interpretation of it was wrong

He mentioned you had an "important village role" to me in PM, so I'm leaning towards ability wolf seer right now

so.... wolf blocker sounds like it might be a thing.

 

[Chaostrodon]

Here is Zenge vs April :

You’re seriously jumping on a bandwagon of attacking me for being online at yeet close?

I’d like you to expand on this and please, be as specific as possible.

I still don’t understand how you could see what Jaboo did as anything other than an attack trying to throw shade on me. Like, yes, I was here at yeet close, with everyone else. I was eating dinner, and I didn’t feel like I had a lot to contribute. It was hard enough just to stay up to date with how fast the thread was expanding. But it was only me who was singled out for being here and “lurking in the shadows” That’s an attack.

Im sorry if saying you were being obtuse was over the line, but it genuinely felt like you were stone walling by refusing to acknowledge how that’s perceived as an attack, and how you piling on for something so innocuous was adding fuel to the fire.

Zenge vs jaboo

I had added plenty of posts and content throughout the day. I made it clear why I was voting where I was, and had no plans to change, and I didn’t change.

You’re making me out to be sketchy simply because I was actively reading the thread, and not posting anything for all of 38 minutes while I was eating dinner.

I’m not going to keep fighting with you about this because it’s unproductive, but it’s a pretty ridiculous attack IMO.

Zenge vs LIS

I brought it up twice because I was first directly asked about you, and then secondly, misunderstood shorty's intention of asking me about Alissa, assuming it related to your bringing it up. I didn't mention other people because I wasn't analyzing who all was making the same points, I was asked about you specifically.

I tend to be very wordy so what I wrote actually was my version of "huh, not sure what else to make of LIS, and this is all I've got".

Zenge vs Sport

I’d appreciate it if you would at least read my posts before just voting for me blindly. Here’s my latest write up on my wolf reads
I’m happy to answer any questions.

I’d also appreciate if you would also consider the argument given for yeeting me, by the person leading my wagon, was that I was reading the thread, but not posting anything for a total of 38 minutes during the last yeet close.

I really wish someone on this thread would at least acknowledge how ridiculous that is.

It appears to me that the reaction to LIS voting him is quite different from the sorts of confrontations he has had with other people . Surely I am not missing something here? The tone is markedly different

Why Sporty not villagey for you given interactions?

Yeah the interactions seem organic but Im not completely sure I could put her as town from that

 

[Cyndia]

I accidentally fell asleep super early last night, so sorry I never checked back in.

Going to catch up shortly and I’ll update my reads list.

Night 3

Frank Fontaine is just a bully with more power than he ever deserved, and I'll show him and his kind just what happens when they mess with my utopia.

He walked through the gardens of Arcadia. He'd always enjoyed a late-night stroll, especially here, the flowers in bloom and the trees lit up. His head throbbed, a side effect of splicing up, but it was worth it, he thought, for a little extra power in this war. He caught sight of a large figure among the plants, and positioned himself behind a tree. Took aim and...BOOM. The blast knocked the big guy back. He shook his helmeted head, stunned, and then growled, turning to find the source of the attack. But in a moment, another figure had his attention. This one sprinted around behind the Big Daddy, eyes trained on the small figure he was protecting. But he was too slow, and was soon under fire.

"Hurt 'im, Mr. B! Hurt 'im! Tear 'im into little bits!"

The splicer watched from his position behind the tree, more than a little alarmed. He didn't want to get involved after seeing how his power paled in comparison to the Big Daddy's strength. He turned to creep back along the path and make his way back to Athena's Glory. But in a moment, he felt a knife slide into his spine.

Dead is @SportPonies, who was Sonny Engquist, a village blocker.

~~~

So many people in Rapture only care about themselves and what they can get from the people around them. It's not what I would call a utopia, more like all the worst parts of society concentrated into one city. No one embodies that self-absorbed attitude more than Frank Fontaine. So sure, I'll do what I can to bring down his organization, and in the meantime I'll help my fellow human...even the ones who are a little too spliced up to remember who they are.

He laid in bed, the smell of cigarette smoke slowly dissipating. The high had been fantastic, but then he'd been stuck in bed all day, all but coughing his lungs up. Had it been worth it? At the moment, it didn't seem like it. He rolled over, and in that moment thought he heard the door to his room open. His eyelids were heavy, and opened slow, and with effort. It took a moment to register what he was seeing. The point of a knife, and behind it, a wide smile.

Dead is @mkg323, who was Ruben Townsley, a village protector.

It is now Day 4. Deadline is tomorrow, March 8th, at 10pm EST.
