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.
You did fine! Yes, you were helped by paws's play early on, but you did a good job not drawing much suspicion yourself. It's rough not hitting any of the village PRs and having them still alive in endgame.

Well I i knew with the run of luck we had I probably couldnt have killed strog or AM, so I picked pippy to try to throw some suspicion back onto you.
 
It was hard enough playing my first time as a wolf.... but once I became the lone wolf = game over

Actually you and your packmates had a good chance of winning because my tinfoil theories were all wrong and i was pushing lynching for MJ and Strog. Had Strog not claimed anything, he would've been lynched followed by Sporty probably. But you were cleared by AM and WZ and they didn't really believe my Pawsy case and would've likely lynched me for the bad tinfoil theories.

The tracker read was the turning point.

Oh the best way to throw suspicion on me is to leave pippy alive. Lol.

I was never gonna lynch you and would have continued to push against a strog lynch.
Tbh I hadn't read your paws case very closely. I like to think at some point I would have reevaluated buuuut who knows.

I actually didn't post a case/vote last night because I was legitimately out of people in my people and just wanted to die.

Yeah I was hoping the strog lynch would have happened, That would have saved sporty at least another night. Then if we could have gotten AM (protector?) then we would have been in good shape, even if sporty got lynched next.

Pretty sure barks was protector unless I dreamed a certain post
 
Day 7

waumbek2.jpg

Today the hikers decided to tackle Mount Waumbek. It couldn't be that bad of a hike at 4,006 feet located in the Pliny Range. This mountain is the 3rd shortest 4,000 footer and the 2nd most northern. The hikers decided to take the shortest trail to the top, the Starr King Trail.

While at the summit, the hikers ended up in an argument. It seems the disappearances were not as benign as they had seemed. Having found 3 of the culprits there was just one left.

Having faith in their tracker, they all ganged up on Cubs, stripping him of his gear and leaving him behind at the summit

Dead is @cubsrule4e, who was a wolf vigilante.

Villagers win!

Special thanks to awesome co-mod @capri1722. I kind of threw the game at her Wednesday and said, oops, I’m gone this weekend and likely won’t be able to close. It’s all you. She did an awesome job running with that.

Great game all! This was a tough game for the wolves as they were pretty busy and they didn't get any of the village PR's

Great job villagers working together!

Awesome job @Barkley13 for not letting on you were protector until the end!

Congrats to @Dinashadow and @picklegurl . No one guessed you were the mason pair

For our newer players, I recommend in future games working on reads lists and evaluating them constantly as the game goes on. This also includes evaluating how others reads lists change
 
In @vetmedhead MMeat game, I subbed in late, found myself in a difficult situation, ended up in two straight ties with a wolf convert and survived and won with my manator @LyraGardenia

In @Karabiner13 Hiking game, I subbed in midgame, found that my predecessor was involved in a tie and near tie, managed to allay concerns by defending with what i got and tinfoiling on suspects, survived and won with my manaunt @Dinashadow

@Skimble softly approves in both cases :shy:😀😉
 
When were you fakeclaiming? I must have missed it because after SAR died I decided you were vanilla lol

On a closer look, I was very much so, but I decided to make a scene with Sporty after I saw the soft from Barks and hope it'd be lost in shenanigans if I could claim before Barks switched her vote.

I was really sure @Animal Midwife was one of the PRs for most of the game.

Thank you @Barkley13 for keeping me alive twice!

Shout out to my Mason partner @picklegurl for making me feel smart for all my weird theories and just being a fun PM partner overall!
The less frozen AM is on thread, the more likely she's vanilla lol
 
I think I was about to lynch barks...
😱

I actually could only protect the same person two days in a row before I had to protect someone else so it was lucky they didn’t try to kill you on days I couldn’t protect you!
 
Some choice quotes from my role PM. My wolf packs were all wrong lol

Oh, I forgot we have a tracker. I think for some reason I thought genny was tracker at some point but I don't remember why I thought that. I was drunk at the time.

Animal Midwife

WildZoo
SportPonies - I mostly just feel like questioning her, don't really think she's a wolf
allieh8607 - pickles vote in the day snowy was lynched is all I've got, need to investigate
Mad Jack - it's MJ
PippyPony(formerly devyn) - I don't remember why we think she's village actually
Stroganoff - too sketchy to be wolf
Dinashadow - claimed PR, might go here soon
picklegurl - fumbling village nooblet
Lawp - probably villa, those stagnated ties were unlikely to be w/v
Barkley13 - will look at vote pattern again but I think is solid
cubsrule4e (formerly paws) - paws was super quick on the snowy lynch
Animal Midwife - I swear to God if she's a wolf I will kill me
WildZoo - just a vanillager trying to get by
Hmmm what if the pack is pippy, allie, and Dina...
Or MJ, Allie, and dina
Those are the packs I can currently make in my head
I don't think MJ and pippy are wolfing together
I don't think sporty and MJ are wolfing together (again)

It would help if I knew who was attacked the other night but I also don't want to out them so that will have to wait until lylo
allie, barks, pippy?????
Lol what if MJ and strog are masons
allie, barks, pippy?????
This is insanity, right?

Need to reevaluate.

Um also who the **** are the village PRs. They are hiding so well.

I also submitted actions most nights 😀

N1: Dubz curls up with a good book
N2: Dubz drunkenly passes out on a pile of leaves
N3: dubz huddles angrily by the fire
N4: dubz listens for familiar frog calls in the night
N6: Dubz tends to the trail ponies that we obviously brought along

Aaaaad I just realized that even when I'm vanilla I submit actions like a wolf...
 
This was some of my pm strategy.

I saw more than three people in here and had a mini heart attack. Off to a great start so far.
How did I manage to pocket dubz already? Why am I so pockety?
(before I knew she was subbing in)
i miss pippy and wish she were here to make me work
why can't mel come back

it's time for him to lynch me
is this real life
this is fun
 
great work @cubsrule4e I'm sorry you had to sub in as a wolf, but you did great! @Stroganoff you are correct I would usually never sub out as a wolf, I love it, but was dealing with tooooo much and WW was lowest on the totem. I legit didn't mean to bus @SnowshoeDog143 but couldn't get on till much later and by then knew cubs would be my replacement. Figured that it would at least put him in pretty good standing. Also village Paws would totally follow an @Animal Midwife /@Melchizedek lynch in early game if I wasn't yet worried that one of you was wolfy.

I was using this and I was also like, but Paws wouldn't kill Mel while she was alive. Unless of course she subbed out before the kill was decided lololol. Good job AM's memory.

I actually did consider them!

I'm happy I guessed strog was a PR after his comments before n1 lol. Also figured barks was village early on since she thought I was sketchy. And then I considered it weird paws thought that was weird lol

good game everyone!
 
Thank you @Karabiner13 for letting me tag along! :biglove: I want to get back into modding and I felt good about how the game went this weekend.

Side note, I posted this in mod chat after I posted the D5 write up:

…and nobody (on thread anyway) noticed it 😢
Gonna be honest I was uh...not really reading the writeups D:
