Also, what's your purpose in alphabetizing the list?

 

[Cyndia]

This is no insult to you or anything but I'm not too sure anyone actually voted for you

Not to agree with you per usual... but def think there's some game mechanics in play there. Unless anyone wants to actually come forward as having voted for cubs?

 

[vetmedhead]

How many wolf plots do you need before you can plant a wolf garden?

Did somebody say mechanics?!?!?

I like how shameful this makes voting for Cubs look lol. Hit the man right in the self esteem!

I mean... I didn't vote for him either though.

Lmao sorry, didn't mean to crap on cubs like that. Just considering he didn't campaign and a lot of people (including myself) were vocal about genny and she got deputy, means most people probably chose her.

In any case, after a few games back I'm starting to learn how little mechanics mean anymore so not reading into it too much yet.

 

[Dr. ForgotToFlush]

Got an explanation for this?

For now, this is enough to make me unyeet stagg and yeet FTF.

Nah I agree, I just love how everyone is immediately like "Damn, cubs won, I know for sure nobody voted for THAT guy."

Can confirm this actually occurred - the mention notification is still in my alerts list and links to the alphabetized list

-1 point for not remembering me and grebes + dina as her wolf peons 🙁

And I worked so hard on those memes too... 🙁

Was going to answer this, but then I got paranoid that there's some extra kill mechanic based on who people voted for

Omg I'm a dummy this morning. I got the same notification and clicked it and that's literally why I noticed your posts. Sorry, slow cyndia is slow.

unyeet FTF

 

[Cyndia]

Okay lets try again - yeet MrsP to put some pressure on there. Looking at the list of players FTF so conveniently alphabetized, I haven't seen her say anything of substance yet.

 

[WildZoo]

I haven't recounted posts yet but I still need more from @Ms Procrastinator, @Stagg737, @katashark, @killerleaf, and @alissa14 (preferably not just related to animal crossing and joke votes over halfway through the day)

 

[Dr. ForgotToFlush]

About what?

the barks read

 

[killerleaf]

I am torn now. I am thinking about leaving my vote on Cubs for right now. Will think a little more, see what everyone else says, but I am leaning toward some weirdness going on with the mayor vote. It does seem strange that quite a few people say they did not vote him, and yet, there he is. Is it because he is a nice little wolf, and being in a seat of power would be perfect for him to "hide in plain sight". "O let's not vote the mayor out...nooo"

 

[genny]

Nah I agree, I just love how everyone is immediately like "Damn, cubs won, I know for sure nobody voted for THAT guy."

No no no... I just want to know who these superstars are who can read cubs so well that they voted him mayor. So I can laugh at them later when they suddenly reverse course and vote him out as a villager.

I like how this is basically a summary of my earlier wifom.

But regardless, leaving the mayor around for at least a day is usually an ok thing because a village mayor usually nets some village profit

What are your thoughts on non-cubs people?

 

[killerleaf]

@SARdoghandler yeah, that's why I said I am thinking...kinda waiting to see what everybody says during the day here.

 

[killerleaf]

@Animal Midwife right now, the only thing I know for certain is that I am village. LOL Day 1 is always such a difficult day. Short of somebody rojoing, it is just waiting, and seeing if anybody acts weird. Right now, the only impressions I would have are what have been formed from past experiences, and that is not fair to anyone. Until people actually start interacting and saying stuff.

 

[genny]

Until people actually start interacting and saying stuff.

So take the top 4 posters thus far: AM, Dubz, me, SAR. Any thoughts on us?

 

[Barkley13]

Quote the number of times I have misyeeted you. I'll wait.

Doesn't this same argument happen every time? Because I feel like it happens every time

I was about to comment how you hadn't posted yet but I had seen you react to some posts, but I consider Animal Crossing to be a valid excuse

reacted to posts but didn't vote for mayor.... then judged who won for the mayor vote.... cool cool

This is no insult to you or anything but I'm not too sure anyone actually voted for you

what

Got an explanation for this?

For now, this is enough to make me unyeet stagg and yeet FTF.

How does it make sense for him to have actually rojoed and instead of hiding it better being like "oh oops good thing no one saw!" if he was a wolf

This post and wanting to vote out the mayor day 1 seems weird to me but is more talking and such than last game when you were a wolf so hmmmm

 

[alissa14]

Catching up and doing a deeper read than what I did last night:
So far... dubz, SAR, and AM feel villagey
No thoughts on cyndia yet.
Genny also feels village i think? She’s hard for me to read but she seems okay for now

 

[Animal Midwife]

Doesn't this same argument happen every time? Because I feel like it happens every time

Indeed it does. And I'm not going to stop until he actually tells everybody how many times I've misyeeted him. It keeps conveniently never being answered while he's been needlessly poking me about this topic for over a year.

Page 3 thoughts:
Nothing yet from dds...

im a little concerned that cubs is the mayor since it was never discussed that he wanted to run... only genny and SAR were discussed on thread. Not sure if anyone is open to saying who they voted for (although wolves could easily lie)

i can say for myself that I didn’t vote because I was gone(oops)but I likely would’ve voted genny

 

[vetmedhead]

My question is what would we get from definitively determining why cubs is mayor? There's already suspicion it might be mechanics related, which isn't affiliation indicative. It could be role related, which isn't necessarily affiliation indicative. It could be that he actually got voted in, which isn't affiliation indicative.

I'm not sure why we're so hung up on it right now as it's something that is likely to remain unclear until later in the game, there is potential to lose something valuable to village since mayors often get extra abilities, and using cubs' #alwaysawoof history isn't exactly great play for RNGd roles.

 

[genny]

I want to know for taunting purposes only. Otherwise, not relevant to finding wolves.

 

[genny]

Vote alissa

 

[killerleaf]

@Barkley13 I did vote for Cubs long before he was announced mayor. I just have not moved my vote yet.

At this point, nobody really stands out one way or the other. So, on the one hand, everyone may be village. But on the other hand, most of the vocal ones may be wolves. "starts humming tunes from Fiddler on the Roof", wanders off to think. To ponder.

You'll get answers sooner on how you feel about the unknown by interacting with/questioning them. D1 is one of the biggest wealths of information as long as everyone participates. For starters, ask yourself if you agree or disagree with what different people are saying. Do any of the disagreements seem wolfy? (At a more advanced level, do any of the agreements seem wolfy?)

Oh do you think she's repeating herself a lot too and saying a lot of things that don't really mean anything? Because that's what I was thinking

 

[Dinashadow]

I don't know if she reacted before or after mayor vote. I saw her reactions shortly before she posted last night.

I do think it's strange that she reacted to Flushy's post then voted for him for being a no poster, and also the last part of her reasoning doesn't make sense to me. It seems like she's expressing interest in wanting to play with him since he was voted out early during the noob game, but is also voting on him D1

Hi everyone! Sorry for being late to the party! I recently got a Nintendo Switch and I’ve been playing Animal Crossing for like a week straight. Surprised that cubs is mayor... personally probably would’ve voted genny...

Anyhoo.. yeet flushy because he hasn’t posted yet and I haven’t played with him since my noob game (where he was yeeted before I actually played with him)

 

[deleted867257]

Cub mayor stuff:

I want to know who voted for cubs when the only AI post he made was about liking meats and didn't even mention mayors once.

Lmao sorry, didn't mean to crap on cubs like that. Just considering he didn't campaign and a lot of people (including myself) were vocal about genny and she got deputy, means most people probably chose her.

In any case, after a few games back I'm starting to learn how little mechanics mean anymore so not reading into it too much yet.

I think everyone that's vocalized in this thread about the cub being mayor has established that the majority is confused on how/why people voted considering lack of campaigning on cubs part. I agree that it's a little sus and something to keep in mind, but shouldn't be over-dwelled on for D1 discussions, if as important as AM claims, personally would want more of a variety of discussion to look back on then.

i believe him

Is believing how someone is reading another person enough for a village vouch (edit: is that what this would be considered? It's how I'm taking it and noting it) this early in game? Genuine question.

Also, what's your purpose in alphabetizing the list?

Thanks for pointing that out, for the life of me I couldn't see what the order/purpose of the list was. and didn't even think about it being alphabetical.

@Animal Midwife right now, the only thing I know for certain is that I am village. LOL Day 1 is always such a difficult day.

Right now, the only impressions I would have are what have been formed from past experiences, and that is not fair to anyone. Until people actually start interacting and saying stuff.

Just saw this and really agreed with it. I find D1 difficult, but that may also be because I don't play often and don't have previous experiences/reads on people based on previous interactions in games.

Exam this morning = me frantically cramming things into my brain after my Tuesday exam, but with nothing until Tuesday I plan to be more active on thread. Nickname - Frosty, FS, Sparrow, whatever works!

What were the reasons for MsP vs Kata currently? I assume Kata is due to lack of meaningful convo + the random gif?

 

[genny]

Oh do you think she's repeating herself a lot too and saying a lot of things that don't really mean anything? Because that's what I was thinking

Her contributions just strike me as forced - like when the boss is coming so all the workers have to look busy so they don’t get yelled at.

No, a vouch is a village read + some form of mechanical evidence to back it up.

In order of strength, from strongest to weakest, for perceiving someone as village:

hard vouch - mechanical evidence that proves claimed affiliation
soft vouch - mechanical evidence that proves claimed ability
strong village read - thread evidence that suggests someone is completely out of their wolfrange

Just saw this and really agreed with it. I find D1 difficult, but that may also be because I don't play often and don't have previous experiences/reads on people based on previous interactions in games.

You don't need prior games to make a decent conclusion. Very few people can accurately meta-read people and those who do only can do it for like 1-3 specific people. The majority of reads come from conclusions from the interactions occurring in the present game.

What were the reasons for MsP vs Kata currently? I assume Kata is due to lack of meaningful convo + the random gif?

Yes. kata's proving to be checking the thread, but isn't making any attempts to actually help progress things.

Thank you for those definitions!! That was SUPER helpful.

I just answered that 2 posts up. Are you and alissa on a team? A wolfy team?

 

[Stagg737]

-1 point for not remembering me and grebes + dina as her wolf peons 🙁

The only things I remember from that game are VMH being a banshee, Mel's rage about our stupidity, trying to smoke some sacred grass to talk to the dead, and me and Paws being so paranoid about finding each other that we were basically sketch masons even after being mod-confirmed as lovers/masons/whatever. And I didn't even remember VMH correctly 😕

Thanks for pointing that out, for the life of me I couldn't see what the order/purpose of the list was. and didn't even think about it being alphabetical.

For some reason I thought that was about MsP. I like to hear thoughts from experienced players on voting ‍♀ (Edit: this was supposed to be a shrug emoji... does not translate from my texting emojis apparently)

Because I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how the list was ordered and why. Didn’t know if it was reads or what.

 

[Dinashadow]

I voted her early because she usually falls under the radar and I figured it would be a good place to start. But yeah her contributions are why I'm happy staying on the vote. I've seen her do similar when she was wolfing before

Frosty has been used in the past I believe. FS is @Frozenshades and I don't care if he's not around much anymore, no one gets to steal his acronym 😛

I don't think there's anything wrong with speculating on the general design of the game. It at least gives something for people to talk about, at which point we can start to shift focus to how people are posting. Not something to yeet cubs over at all, but mechanical speculation is like...normal. And generally how conversations start. Personally I prefer that to thread silence.
