Back to Basics WW: A Cycling Edition - Game Thread

[Animal Midwife]

Yeah, but by the same logic, couldn't raf have escaped lynch easily? I feel like nothing makes sense this game.

How would raf had escaped?

How would raf had escaped?

If you're saying 3 wolves working together can get out of a lynch where the leaders have 2 votes each, wouldn't 4 wolves together be able to redirect a lynch where the leader had 3 votes? Or am I misinterpreting your original statement?

 

[genny]

Regardless, that doesn't matter. I'm going to stop with the mechanics.

 

[jaboo]

I don’t like how allieh popped on, didn’t defend, then disappeared. Doubt my thoughts are going to make a difference at this point tho

 

[allieh8607]

I think it would be in the village's best interest to consolidate these votes a little more....

 

[Skimble]

Yeah, but by the same logic, couldn't raf have escaped lynch easily? I feel like nothing makes sense this game.

Not without revealing the other wolves. There is absolutely no way dolphin, capri and allieh are all wolves.

If the wolves are capri, dolphin, and allie, it kind of makes sense..... but I doubt we're that lucky.

We are most certainly not that lucky. I'm side eyeing you for even suggesting that.

 

[genny]

Has Capri been around at all today?

I did say it's improbable. UGH.

They could, but how close to end game and the value of the wolf/ves is important. raf was just a goon and they likely wouldn't have all jumped on the same lynched to save her.

 

[Skimble]

@dolphin106258 you have 11min to convince me not to switch to you to help avoid a situation like last night.

 

[PippyPony]

In the interest of preventing shenanigans, I'm going back back from capri capri

Unlynch capri
Lynch dolphin

 

[allieh8607]

If you have feels for dolphin too I might suggest placing your vote there today. Even if dolphin is a villager, losing one village is better than losing 2. Give me something to defend against and I'll do my best. I feel like I've explained my vote history enough.

 

[jaboo]

@dolphin106258 you have 11min to convince me not to switch to you to help avoid a situation like last night.

If needed, I can switch to dolphin to avoid that

ETA: ninja’d by Pips

 

[genny]

dolphin's leading by 2 now, yes?

 

[dolphin106258]

@dolphin106258 you have 11min to convince me not to switch to you to help avoid a situation like last night.

I’ve already defended. The first people to put votes on me were sporty, Pippy, and Weim and two out of those three said it was voting pattern so I can’t defend against it. But the fact that Weim’s only explanation was raf switched to PCC instead of me. Well maybe we were both village but no one is really considering that.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that margin.... given that dolphin hasn't voted self-prez yet and capri hasn't voted at all.

hi

In my defense it's Big Brother night and it airs in the last hour before lynch close and also hey thanks for not lynching me for absenteeism this time ಠ_ಠ

 

[Karabiner13]

@WildZoo and Karabou had reached a major decision point on their ride. With only 30 miles left they needed to decide whether they would go the Bennington Chapel route or the Reynolds Road route. One was the hilly route while the other was hillier. Both were exhausting, although one more than the other. They decided that they didn't want to do rigorous hills for their last 30 miles so they chose the less rigorous Bennington Road route. A short while onto the route they began to second guess whether they had gone the better route. Luckily they saw a sign that confirmed they were on the 'Less Hilly' Bennington Route.

Unfortunately for @dolphin106258, she had turned right instead of going straight. It wasn't until she saw the sign that she realized it.

Rather than turn around, she resigned herself to the more rigorous route with the iconic Reynolds hill. Before too long though, the hills got the best of her and she ended up having to call for a SAG wagon. Looks like Reynolds road beat her this year. She'll just have to try and conquer it next year. At least she got to see a pretty Pelotonia barn!

Dead is @dolphin106258, Rider - Vanilla Townie

Contingency Lynch capri

 

[jaboo]

Don't make me regret putting you at strong village after the raf lynch

That comment was directed at the fact that I wasn’t feelin the dolphin lynch but I changed to prevent another wolf/villager tie.

 

[capri1722]

Hmmm. If you're thinking correctly, I'm not really sure how you'd be able to so confidently say no about it. So probably not.

Good because I was ready to poke about a million holes the theory I thought you had

Although capri not voting again is also somewhat concerning

Late votes are pretty normal for me

Ok, let's maybe see if this gets @capri1722 's attention

Unlynch dolphin
Lynch capri

Has Capri been around at all today?

Contingency Lynch capri

This is getting old but I don't think I'm ready to lynch you yet. Maybe I'll sleep on it.

 

[capri1722]

Sooooooo if my math is right then tomorrow is lylo, yes?

 

[Animal Midwife]

This wasn't the full catch-up, was it?

 

[Animal Midwife]

Sooooooo if my math is right then tomorrow is lylo, yes?

Yeah, so no voting for more than one candidate.

 

[allieh8607]

Yeah, so no voting for more than one candidate.

So since you've already voted for Capri, we all have to lynch her?

 

[Animal Midwife]

So since you've already voted for Capri, we all have to lynch her?

Absolutely not. We have all day to discuss. We just have to, ideally, have all votes in a few hours before deadline so there can be real discussion/reactions.

 

[capri1722]

This wasn't the full catch-up, was it?

Got an issue?

 

[Animal Midwife]

Got an issue?

You were only responding to quotes that asked where you were.

 

[capri1722]

You were only responding to quotes that asked where you were.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Didn't see anything else that warranted a response and hadn't already been said.

 

[Animal Midwife]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay. What are your thoughts based on how today played out?

 

[PippyPony]

That comment was directed at the fact that I wasn’t feelin the dolphin lynch but I changed to prevent another wolf/villager tie.

No, I understand why you might have said it. It was more how it was phrased. Quite ~~dramatic~~

 

[PippyPony]

Yeah, so no voting for more than one candidate.

You realize this is getting to the point now where it's going to kind of suck if you're wrong, right?

 

[Animal Midwife]

You realize this is getting to the point now where it's going to kind of suck if you're wrong, right?

Yeah.

 

[WildZoo]

NiGhT cLoSeD rEsUlTs PeNdInG!​

 

[Animal Midwife]

I mean, even if I, theoretically, had hard results on capri, I still would heavily encourage people to not blindly sheep me.

 

[PippyPony]

Although I do find it interesting that it seems she popped back up out of nowhere just in time for some night actions

 

[capri1722]

Okay. What are your thoughts based on how today played out?

Had I gotten on earlier I wanted to ask Pips what it was about Raf's vote that made her suspect Dolphin. I don't totally understand voting analysis, but the only case I could make was why would Raf choose to bring PCC down with her instead of Dolphin or Weim? Possible answer being that one or both of them were wolves. That's also one of the reasons I chose to lynch Weim, even though I realized after I posted that it really didn't make any difference.

 

[PippyPony]

I mean, even if I, theoretically, had hard results on capri, I still would heavily encourage people to not blindly sheep me.

Theoretically a good stance
