What made you decide that in the last couple minutes?

Day 3
​
The hikers decided that after Mount Isolation, they needed to hike the shortest of the 4,000 footers. Before they got to the summit though, took and water break and began to practice tying knots. For some reason though, they could not get the knack of tying things up. An amused Karabou woke up from a nap just in time them to reach the summit.

Mount Tecumseh, a 4,003 foot mountain in the Sandwich Range. It is the shortest on the AMC's official 4,000 footer list. The mountain is names after the Shawnee leader, Tecumseh. One of the largest ski resorts in New Hampshire, Waterville Valley, is located on this mountain. Some hikers decided to use the ski trails to descend. It seems while descending, sar had a skiing accident.

Dead is @SARdoghandler, Mount Tecumseh who was a vanillager

It is now N3. Night closes at 9am est (or early is actions in and capri is around)

Well hey some of us are actually trying to lynch wovles. Want to tell me how voting for yourself serves that purpose if you are not, in fact, a wolf?
Click to expand...
Because so many of you want me dead, so if I'm nearing egg cracking territory why not just get there already and we can move on to the next one. Interesting how upset you're getting interacting with pippy and lashing out at me
 
WildZoo said:
What part of bj's behavior in the last 20 minutes made you think it was a good idea to move off of her?
Click to expand...
It wasn't BJ, I just remember SAR saying that I was a good person to keep around (maybe I am making the jobs easier for the wolves?), so SAR changed last minute to jump on the Snowy vote, and I felt weird about this. I was literally looking for that specific quote about keeping me around because SAR said something weird about being mad about which way I flipped (can't remember the exact quote). I don't know anymore. I just don't know.
 
PippyPony said:
I mean, technically no, you did not say the words "I want Snowy to die!"

But you put her in your wolf reads, and then later said you felt like Mel listened to you by re-lynching her. Do you typically not want your wolf reads dead?
Click to expand...
You are leaving out the context that she was, for reasons which I could not put together, no longer a viable lynch at that time. I thought I was missing something since AM moved off, and the way cheezit was behaving about the lynch made me uneasy. Yes it swung back to her again, magically, in a very short period of time during which I was not in a state to keep track of waffles or really much of anything except whatever random thoughts were going through my head.

I did not expect the Allie lynch to get zero additional votes. You're acting like the choices were snowy bandwagon or pickles bandwagon and I chose door number 3, but that's not an accurate representation of the state of the thread at that time.

I read the thread. All of it.

What are your thoughts on Allie at this moment?
 
Barkley13 said:
@Dinashadow are you going to answer my question?
Click to expand...

Why is waffling sketchy? Pickles just did it and you are contigency voting for her so do you not find it sketchy?

Barkley13 said:
So my thoughts on dina:
I think it's a little weird that she wasn't killed last night but I can see how the wolves might be waiting because they assumed she was protected or they wanted to make her look sketchy. I originally thought she was sketchy yesterday because I saw what other people were saying about her just mostly agreeing with other people and not giving original thoughts (which hasn't improved much today) but then she ended up on snowy last night so I wanted to give her credit for that but still thought she was a little sketchy. I just looked back and saw that she was on snowy all day so that definitely helps her case but I don't like how she's trying to make it seem like I'm tunneling her when I've posted about her literally twice before now.
Click to expand...

Are you sure you're not talking about yourself here? Considering you switch your vote after the smallest pressure from someone else?

And it is tunneling if you don't really provide any other reads without being prompted but I see your switching back to pickles now.

There's more that's sketchy about pickle than just the waffling so that doesn't answer the question. And I guess we have different definitions of tunneling then. I may be tunneling pickle but I am not tunneling you.

Or you could, I don't know, give us a chance to actually lynch a wolf and get more info. I don't care how many people want to vote for you (and it was tied and had been pretty close all day so meh at that). Team game, remember? Voting for yourself doesn't help your team.

You say this like you've never seen me play before

I moved her down my list because I don't think she'd go for the pickle vote at the end of the day as a wolf. Would have to update based on today's stupidity. I did like a post or two she made but I can't remember if that was from yesterday or today because I've been rereading things.
 
PippyPony said:
What were you talking about with this, btw? I don't think you understood what I was trying to get at. Or I don't understand what you were trying to get at.
Click to expand...

Without SAR's vote, it was pickles/Snowy 4-4.

At the end of the day I voted for who I thought was most wolfy, so I'm not sure how that tarnishes the goal at all.

Which you implied was only because pip did it first...

Unless you're saying you intended to change your vote all along.

I dunno, again, your actions aren't lining up with your stated goals. If you actually wanted to let us crack your egg, then why even switch to me? That lynch wasn't going anywhere in the final 5 minutes.
 
PippyPony said:
(pssst: she does not like it when people vote for her, Bryndi)
Click to expand...
More accurate, in most cases, though not even what I'm mad about today. A vote from pip and the person I'm voting for...typical and nothing to be concerned about.

PippyPony said:
I thought SAR was at the top of your wolf pack! 😛
Click to expand...
That was yesterday! :rage:
 
PippyPony said:
But that is not the order of how all that progressed...Unless dubz's tracker is wrong, or I am blind, SAR made it 5-3 and then allie brought it up to 5-4.

I'm not sure what your point is here, anyways -- can you be less cryptic since SAR is now dead?
Click to expand...

Your question was about SAR not voting for a leader and have pickles still be okay. And I'll never stop being cryptic. No one needs my reasoning if it's not going to be read anyway.
 
Stroganoff said:
Any odds that the silent/busy people are wolfy? I almost feel like some of them are playing a passive, stealthy game and are just watching the village burn itself.
Click to expand...
Yep. If we don't lynch another wolf in the next couple days, then the talkative people are probably alive because we suck.

I don't love lynching quiet people these days, though. It's boring, and even if they win the game, I feel like they are losing the battle of honor.

(Unless they are legit busy, in which case I tend to sympathize more now that I am busier. But intentionally holding back is lame, imo).

Dude, I'm reading your reasoning. Right now. lol

I am literally responding to your posts and genuinely trying to figure out wtf you are talking about. Stop being tragic.

It was 4:3 at the time SAR moved her vote to make it 5:3. Allie did not move it up to 5:4 until after SAR voted. Pickles still would have won at the time SAR switched -- I was trying to figure out why SAR felt so strongly about saving her. You're retroactively looking at what would have happened had SAR not switched, and I don't see why that makes sense to analyze movement out of the order in which they were submitted.

allie still would have moved there even if SAR hadn't. They weren't connected. There's no way she was able to keep track of those waffles.

I'm being tragic because I can comprehend how I even let that vote get enough steam for SAR to be a tie in the first place. If I can't convince people with solid analysis then what am I even trying for?
 
WildZoo said:
Oh also because it is sketchy as **** and makes it more difficult to analyze the lynch
Click to expand...
What's sketchy -- the vote for you, or the vote for herself?

I thought they were both kinda fun choices, actually

Had she remained lynching herself and died, would it have made it harder to analyze the lynch?

Do you know she still would have moved? You think she would have made a tie? Or even risked it?

Again -- I know that a tie would have decreased the chance that Snowy would have died, but allie couldn't guarantee no one else would move, and even if she didn't, she was putting herself into the mix in a very visible way there. Idk that someone does that if they are wolfy. It's not worth saving someone who is going down like that.

I would have increased the lead on Snowy, which is exactly what I did last game and is exactly why I felt like it was valid to question SAR about it.

Just because people don't always agree with you doesn't mean they aren't listening to you.

Last game, you shouted in large font, capital letters: ONLY GENNY, DOLPHIN AND STAGG ARE SAFE. THE REST ARE DANGEROUS.

and

DO NOT LET JBOO OUT OF YOUR SIGHTS

And told people you put it in giant letters so they wouldn't forget after you died.

Not to rub extra salt into your salt, but -- as I stated in that game -- you are not infallible.

The vote for herself. Hammering your own lynch is a level of insincerity I just can't get behind as a villager.

Sure, she changed her vote. Hooray. So she negated the whole "reason" for voting for herself in the first place, so what was the point?

I'm just frustrated because instead of having a wolf read dead and flipped I instead have a dead village read. One of the few I was pretty solid in. That ****'s only supposed to happen at night.

Thank you! Part of this game is about having fun, if it looks like I'm going down then why not have fun with it?
 
WildZoo said:
Not sure how throwing the game is fun, but ok
Do you actually think shelter is a wolf?
Click to expand...
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.
