When Bryn first voted for herself, your reaction felt a little over the top to me.

Like it maaaaybe-sorta-mighta been staged.

If you're a wolf, then you missed out on busing a wolf yesterday. After that happened, you got all mad about how you don't half-ass things, and if you're going to go all in on a strategy, you go all in on a strategy...and idk, it just makes me wonder in the far recesses of my mind if you and Bryndi cooked this up as a team. You both probably knew your votes would look sketchy in retrospect, you knew people would question you...why not take full advantage of that, post a lynch tracker that gets people to look hard at Bryndi, and then sink her? Have her vote for herself at the end, it looks even sketchier. Or vote for you, which also sets up distance and separation.

And then you flipped out at poor, maligned pickles for taking that away from you.

I actually almost posted something about this right when it happened.

...It's a fun place inside my head.

OK

I think she could be. Again, if you have time to catch up on the game, then there should have been more she found that was actually pertinent instead of discussing a dead player. That comes off like "hey look I'm here and contributing!" except she wasn't. So yeah I think it's a good possibility given what look like desperate attempts to appear to be contributing and analytical.

Ok.
So then you're going to have to explain to me how your behavior at the end of lynch makes sense. Because breaking it down if you're village:

3 way tie - people up for lynch are 1) yourself, a villager 2) the person you are voting for, one of your top wolf reads 3) another person you voted for earlier in the day, presumably among your wolfish reads, and the tie maker is 4) another of your wolf reads

RNG would determine the outcome between 1-4. 25% chance of each dying.

Please, explain to me how in that situation it makes any sense at all to vote for yourself, and then switch to a non contender, when previously you had a 75% chance of one of your wolf reads going down.

You were not going down. You were tied. There was still even the chance that the lynch might be pushed to someone else.

I was pretty fed up with answering the same things over and over. I was tied to go down and so I voted for myself 50% for funsies (I like shock value), 50% I'm done with this so they will at least not spend another day on me when we can move on. Not everything I do is calculated.

I can't respond to this in a not snarky way right now

@Animal Midwife can you please take some of this excess salt away from me?
 
PippyPony said:
Okay, well maybe keep me posted on how that goes, I guess

My current thoughts are:
I was village reading her, I still don't see her interactions with snowy as w/w, but I'm also highly annoyed and unsure if her move at the end of lynch was just a symptom of her being entirely too focused on what other people think/say about her in the game (no judgment there, I tend in the same direction), or wolfiness.

Because if it was wolfy behavior it was like...really bad, you know?

I dunno man. Dangerous to village read one of my grandmanatees anyway. That's how hats get eaten.
 
Everybody is so grumpy this game. No one is grumpy in NH, people! It's the best of the New England states, although Maine is a close second.

I would offer you all some of this banana bread to balance out that salt with some sugar, but it doesn't travel through the internet very well

:banana:

The only reason no one is grumpy in New England is because their dumb team is going to the Super Bowl again

I was typing a last second switch from bj to shelter but saw my clock flip to 10 right before I posted it. Chuckled a little when I refreshed the page and saw your vote.

Meh. Real talk, I'd rather be lynched than night killed, because either way you're dead, and being lynched at least gives information about who is pushing your lynch. And it's no fun to wake up to "you have died" in your inbox.
Click to expand...
No thank you
Villagers are typically the ones pushing my lynch anyway, so the info I get is...welp, village is dumb. Nothing new there. Also being lynched as a villager means I haven't done my job right. Being night killed means I have, unless it's a random n1 kill.

But good to know you're such a fan of being lynched, perhaps we can make it happen for you more often :thinking:

Sure, go ahead

(With the caveat that this only applies when I am village, of course. Being lynched as a wolf means I haven't done my job right 😉 )

Getting night killed as a wolf used to be one of my particular specialties :laugh:

I want there to be an early close and for people to come back and play :arghh:

My sleep schedule is so messed up right now, it's awful.

I told Kara I would close for her but she said she'd have to kill me, and being mod killed is my least favorite way to die 🙁
 
bryndiana.jones said:
I'm not feeling pickles or snowy. Could go for paws but since she is subbing out it should be more beneficial to see how her sub plays.

lynch dina

could also go for Mel or SAR but I don't think pickles is a wolf at this point and the others are not seeming wolfy to me either. Allie is coming off more village to me actually

LYNCH BJ

I have to find out how this turns out.

Edit: I don't know if I can do this since night hasn't closed yet... Can I?

UNLYNCH BJ because I don't want to get in trouble with the mods.
 
Night 3
​
All seemed quiet tonight. So quiet people could be heard sneaking around. But come morning, everyone was in their tents

No one has died

It is now D4. Lynch closes at 10pm est
