Back to Basics: Hiking the NH48 WW - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So shelter just decided to post a one liner and disappear again? It's going to be crappy if we lynch her as a villager but it's very annoying that she just pops in rarely to post basically fluff.
If she is a wolf, I'm not impressed.

And I know @allieh8607 is busy, and that's exciting, but she has dropped off the face of the earth as well

Would also like more from @SportPonies than one or two comments per day

...Ask for subs, guys. If you can't play, it's cool, people will understand (except @Mad Jack ) and you can always catch the next one. Just dropping out is kinda lame regardless of affiliation

I've always been under the impression that people who don't participate are more than likely village
 
Following up on this, because I am bored...
Then why are you not willing to share your reasoning behind your desire to lynch BJ? I find that weird.

Edited to add: In other words, I find the lack of willingness to be transparent in matters of life-and-death (i.e. who to lynch) is a wolfy read. I think typically villagers would want to collaborate during the day and "crowdsource" their thoughts and ideas, since the collective brainstorming might lead to an "ah ha" epiphany.
You did not ask me why I am voting for Bryn. You asked us to convince you to vote for Bryn. I am not going to do that. It's not my job to select your lynch targets.

Do you think I do not collaborate enough? I think I post a great deal during the day.

Observing the current lynch tally:
shelter (5) - am, dina, barkley, strog, sportyspice
bryndy (3) - dubz, pip, genny​

I feel like I'm in better company with the shelter wagon. Dina seems friendly. Barkley's done good analysis on pickles. AM asks everyone direct questions on their reasoning, which I like. Sporty seems friendly.

Re: the people currently voting for BJ, Pip is kind of playing some opaque mind game right now, which I don't like. Dubz has been pretty chill this entire game, providing me with a link to the glossary, doing lots of work with her lynch tracker, etc. But Dubz's demeanor and personality have shifted since last night: 1) She posted about being exhausted (felt like 6 days instead of 3) and asked the wolves to kill her, and 2) She's been kind of snarky today. I dunno. genny I don't have a good read.

So though I initially voted for BJ today, I feel like I'm in better company chillin' with the people currently on the sheltermed wagon. They all seem nice, and I hope it's because they're villagers, not because they're pocketing me.
I agree with you -- I am village-reading the first 3 people on the shelter vote. Particularly AM and Dina, who I think are my strongest village reads at this time.

I am also fine with a shelter lynch because she is not contributing, so while I do not feel the need to vote there and would rather focus on people who will engage with the thread, I am not going to stop others from voting there.

I am either village-reading or strong-wolf-reading the two people voting alongside me for Bryndi. I also think there is significant sketchiness surrounding Bryn's logic for her votes and with some of her posting language, as I stated yesterday. I am lynching Bryndi because it will give me further information on those two people -- and at this point, will also give me information on other players, such as yourself.

If Bryndi is a villager, I am going to move on to them -- probably genny first and then Dubz. I have a stack of quotes for both of them that my brain desperately wants to interpret as wolfy af. So, we shall see!

But -- I want bryndi lynched today in order for me to make those assessments. Shelter gives me no information except that AM is village tunneling, which is not new information for me.

Yes, one would think that they would be more active around lynch time if they were wolves who were on the line in a tie yesterday.

Although that move by Bryn to lynch herself could have been to save Shelter, if Shelter is their blocker.

> implying I'm direct with questions
 
...So why are you voting for Shelter, again? lol

She has had a bad voting record and I was hoping it could help pressure her to come out and defend herself but a lot of good that's done.
 
I'm thinking about switching my vote back to bryndi but I still haven't decided yet. Unless this is her way of trying to keep her cover as a wolf knowing that people might believe it's more likely she's villager if she doesn't participate

WIFOM

Edit: when I say her I mean shelter
 
I also might have the most ridiculous strategy ever devised in WW and it requires that we reach the maximum tie penalty. Many lives will be lost, but the game will end faster. The "all kill" option would be very useful late game

Lynching all the wolves in a row ends the game fastest. It's actually prolonging for every mislynch regardless of tie status.

And you told me I should take mass kill mechanisms out if the Wheel of Time game. smh

Everyone pretend you never saw this comment

No, it's for low content. I never lynch people for inactivity.
Explain how these 2 things are different in this case, because I think she has made a total of like 3 posts, one of which basically amounted to "sorry everyone I'm really busy and can't catch up so I hit the quote button a bunch of times /shelter out"
 
I think I've decided

Unlynch Shelter
Lynch Bryndi
 
I hate these kinds of lynches because it gives us very little info regardless of affiliation. Just a true waste of a day.

Well, you need to push your lynch harder then.

Inactivity is like devyn. Low activity is like shelter. Since there's no post minimum, once daily is all she really needs to do to stay under the radar.
 
Fastest but least likely. Also I just really want to make the mods regret their own mechanics

I don't think she'll regret it, but she might revert back to the "kill only the tie maker" thing again if it's abused intentionally.
 
Well, you need to push your lynch harder then.
Person I'm lynching isn't here either lol

But also, dubz pushed bryndi super hard yesterday, and I already outlined my case earlier today. You talk about resistance -- what's the bryndi lynch look like to you right now?

Inactivity is like devyn. Low activity is like shelter. Since there's no post minimum, once daily is all she really needs to do to stay under the radar.
She's been up for lynch 2 days in a row and has had people talking about her being missing for like the whole game -- I don't see how that's under the radar.

Not saying it's village, btw -- just saying that if that's the goal of that strategy, then I don't think it has worked out too well

Looks better than SAR but still feels like resistance.

It's working extremely well since she never even has to attempt to defend thus far.

You think this looks like a situation where someone doesn't have to defend? Wolves should care about their numbers more than this -- it's a big deal to lose someone

For the record, if I am ever in a pack with a person who does this kind of thing on purpose, I will bus you into the next continent. Yuck.

It no longer looks like this even. It's at 5-4. A number of people use lurking as a strategy, regardless of how it's perceived, because it often works.

Yeah, I'm not talking about lurking like Finn or ny, for example -- I'm saying that if you're a wolf, letting yourself accumulate votes like this two days in a row is not exactly a great team player strategy, imo. Wolf numbers are important and it is stressful to work with that kind of laissez-faire attitude.

I don't know. I know people do it; I just think it's super lame and not very sportsmanlike. Basically amounts to sitting down and pouting in the middle of the field, forcing people kick you out so the game can continue. Blegh
 
Sorry @PippyPony I really do hate ghosting. I tried to pop on this morning to catch up on yesterday's lynch and there were like 5 pages and didn't have time before I started my surgeries for the day. Catching up asap now.
 
Not to mention that I personally try to be understanding when people say they're busy with real life things, and it is disappointing when people cry wolf about that sort of stuff.

Speaking of real life things...I have a radiology final tomorrow morning, so /end rant

You're fine, you're not really who I'm talking about, and anyways I think I'm just grumpy because I haven't had any dinner yet
 
Sorry guys, dropped the ball on this game. I requested a sub so we'll see if someone is available. I kept thinking I'd be able to be active and more and more things have just been coming up. I wouldnt waste the lynch on me today, I can assure you I haven't been trying to fly under the radar. I haven't even really been under the radar, lol

True. But it's also a good cover for a wolf playing a stealthy lurk game.

^ Thank you. This is what I was wanting to hear from you originally, your reasoning for wanting to vote to lynch BJ. Finally got it after 4-5 attempts. Thanks for articulating it, though.

How about you just sheep me forever from here on out? Would be very simple.
So here's another one for the WW Glossary. Sheep (verb). I assume it means when someone follows someone else's vote?

Too late I'm already panicking about lylo.
When's lylo? I'm getting kind of worried.

Are we really lynching someone just for inactivity?

@sheltermed I'd suggest coming back and asking for a sub if you're not doing this on purpose
Negative, not for inactivity.

No, it's for low content. I never lynch people for inactivity.
^ This, Pippy. This is my reason for shelter. The low content. When shelter posted this morning, it was an empty, snarky post. She had every opportunity to provide some meat in that post but did not.

Looks better than SAR but still feels like resistance.
Another one for the glossary. What's "resistance"? Reminds me of stock market technical analysis lingo. Wonder how it's used in pre-vet WW.

@Karabiner13, can you confirm that sheltermed actually requested a sub? I feel like it's important to have confirmation she's not bluffing, because that would be smart tactic.

Yep.

When's lylo? I'm getting kind of worried.

I was just referring to one of the games Pippy is currently creating. This game's mylo isn't for four more days.

I just mean the opposition to a given lynch.

She can't. No claimed conversations with a mod will get confirmed or else wolves would never be able to lie about stuff.
 
Yep.

Maybe the shelter lynch is providing resistance to the bj lynch 😱
