What happens if majority isn't met by lynch close? RNG?

 

[dolphin106258]

Obvious sketchy? Such as?

Ms. P posting about don’t vote for me until a certain time but then she was only here for a little bit, Ziggy going after an argument so oddly, cubs inconsistent weird-ness this morning, and then everybody and their brother focused on NK analysis, activity level and past games because they just love to drive me crazy.

 

[Coopah]

@genny I think I see what you mean but too soon to tell there's not much going on as far as the quiet one and anybody so far. Something to keep an eye on?

 

[Animal Midwife]

What happens if majority isn't met by lynch close? RNG?

Whoever has the most votes will be lynched.

 

[Coopah]

Then why vote Nav?

 

[genny]

Only if @genny allows!

If there's a dead chat, I'll add them there later if someone reminds me.

 

[mizchiefmanaged]

I already said. Because she made a post after last game about how astute Dina was and that people should pay more attention to her.


Why do you think that? Are you the wolf that submitted the kill?? 😱

You caught me 😛

That’s how I reasoned it, may obviously be completely off. But I wasn’t really surprised she was killed early.

 

[dolphin106258]

Then why vote Nav?

I just said because all those reasons seem too obvious.

 

[Coopah]

I just said because all those reasons seem too obvious.

Sorry, my mistake I wasn't clear, why do you think Nav is sketchy?

 

[dolphin106258]

Then why vote Nav?

Believe me I soooo want to vote Ziggy but that just seems like the easiest option. And zig will sometimes just go with their argument even if they’re wrong and even if they’re village until the very end.

 

[dolphin106258]

Sorry, my mistake I wasn't clear, why do you think Nav is sketchy?

Ohhh gotcha, because he just seems to be responding to respond to posts, some of them seem unnecessary just so he can claim to be talking. And also feels but I know feels can’t always be explained.

 

[genny]

lynch miz

 

[Coopah]

Ohhh gotcha, because he just seems to be responding to respond to posts, some of them seem unnecessary just so he can claim to be talking. And also feels but I know feels can’t always be explained.

Ok I see your point, but I disagree. As far as I can tell Navi is just being Navi and I have no idea what that means 😛 so ultimately you may be right.

 

[Navilly]

This is me responding to this post so it looks like I am talking, but actually I am not talking! #inception

 

[mizchiefmanaged]

The Ziggy pippy thing seems pretty normal for them thus far. I’m not really understanding the Ziggy lynch.

 

[PippyPony]

Ok I see your point, but I disagree. As far as I can tell Navi is just being Navi and I have no idea what that means 😛 so ultimately you may be right.

Lol what does this even mean

Most wishy-washy pocket post ever

 

[Navilly]

lynch miz

Can you be any more “veiled” in your vote there? Lol

 

[genny]

Can you be any more “veiled” in your vote there? Lol

No, I clearly stated for whom I am voting.

ETA: It's miz. Because she's sketchy.

Discussion about how Miz would’ve killed you (wolves from last game) on night 0 if she was a wolf, and then you vote for her right after with no explanation

 

[Stroganoff]

Believe me I soooo want to vote Ziggy but that just seems like the easiest option. And zig will sometimes just go with their argument even if they’re wrong and even if they’re village until the very end.

Good point.

Source from the horse's mouth:

I... tend to get in conflicts quite easily

So maybe her craziness is NAI?

 

[PippyPony]

Lol...I thought this closed at 9 and was about to be like "AMbandonment!"

PSA: this is a different game, the times are different

 

[genny]

Discussion about how Miz would’ve killed you (wolves from last game) on night 0 if she was a wolf, and then you vote for her right after with no explanation

And then she pops up to defend ZJ right after I vote her. There's more than one wolf in the pack, and me not being dead does not mean miz isn't a wolf.

 

[Coopah]

Lol what does this even mean

Most wishy-washy pocket post ever

I have no desire to spell it out for you as it wasn't intended for you. I understand how you can confuse pocketing and a joke. If dolphin has questions she can ask.

 

[Navilly]

And then she pops up to defend ZJ right after I vote her. There's more than one wolf in the pack, and me not being dead does not mean miz isn't a wolf.

Note to self, if I want explanations from genny, throw shade their way to get interpretations for their votes.

 

[mizchiefmanaged]

*****vote MsP***** since it’s after 5:30 est and I’d like to see more.

Also @genny i posted that reply on my phone LONG before I actually saw your lynch vote.

 

[mizchiefmanaged]

And then she pops up to defend ZJ right after I vote her. There's more than one wolf in the pack, and me not being dead does not mean miz isn't a wolf.

Also how in the world does NAV saying I would have NK’d you for that reason make me a wolf?

 

[Stroganoff]

• I feel like @Coopah has been a sweetiepie thus far. I just realized I was partially pocketed.
• Ziggy's too easy to lynch. She's practically taking Snaps with the dang noose around her neck. Look at her!
• cubs feels villagey to me so far based on how he wolfed in the past
• MsP was weird when she was all "Don't vote to lynch me until I'm around!" Although she maybe just wants to be present to defend herself before it gets to majority.
• Dubz wasn't on my radar at all, but one comment was like "huh?"

 

[genny]

Also how in the world does NAV saying I wouldn’t NK you for that reason make me a wolf?

I interpreted Nav's posts as saying you would NK me N0, not that you wouldn't.

 

[genny]

Note to self, if I want explanations from genny, throw shade their way to get interpretations for their votes.

There should be an eyeroll reaction so I don't have to make a separate post for this: 🙄

I’m literally always in a WZ tunnel. I always want to vote her way. I need help from other people to see if my tunnel should actually be a tunnel 🤣

Edited the post. Mistyped.

The question still stands, though. How does someone else saying something about me make me sketchy?

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

How is defending myself and pointing out that you're not actually bothering to listen to anyone not wolf hunting?

Defending yourself is defending yourself. Completely NAI and not at all the same as wolf hunting.

Hmmm okay I am honestly BEYOND tired of everyone bringing up that game.





You seem to be stating here that the only reason you’re doing it is because you “caught her” in a lie but if I read the rest of the thread correctly Nav offered disputing evidence? Did he not?

I forget why this last one is here. Whoops.

No, he actually didn't. He agreed with me that the royal thing wasn't used n1, exactly like I said. His interpretation led this to be village pip, different than mine.

@WildZoo why'd you vote Ziggy? Cause sketch or just cause?

She hasn't answered me either.

Ms. P posting about don’t vote for me until a certain time but then she was only here for a little bit, Ziggy going after an argument so oddly, cubs inconsistent weird-ness this morning, and then everybody and their brother focused on NK analysis, activity level and past games because they just love to drive me crazy.

So what should we focus on instead of NK and activity level d1?

Believe me I soooo want to vote Ziggy but that just seems like the easiest option. And zig will sometimes just go with their argument even if they’re wrong and even if they’re village until the very end.

Everyone argues points that aren't correct in WW. If everyone was right all the time, the game would only be as many days long as there are wolves.

Good point.

Glad to know you thought you got me lynched with two people voting for me.

It doesn't.

To light more of a flame there *******unlynch MsP Lynch genny********

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

Nav seems to be behaving a little different than previous games. He's not as analytic as he usually is. I think it's unlikely that he's a wolf because of this cuz he wouldn't be caught slipping like this but its still a bit unusual.

Ziggy seems to be a little bit unusual to me but I don't know if I'm too fond of her lynch.

I think a lot of people here spent way too much time trying to assess the Dina lynch. I don't think that her NK would provide info on who the wolfs are, especially since it was the first night kill and we barely started playing the game.

The Cubs situation is also becoming a little weird.

 

[Stroganoff]

I’m literally always in a WZ tunnel. I always want to vote her way. I need help from other people to see if my tunnel should actually be a tunnel 🤣

Here's the part that I wasn't following earlier:

Now that you have caught up, do you have comments beyond an unofficial TP game?

I believe I made them. I am waiting for relevant responses but I think zig decided to ignore me.

Where did you ask for responses?

I wasn't aware I had to

Dubz: I believe I made them... zig decided to ignore me.
Pip: Where did you ask?
Dubz: SIKE. I didn't ask. I asked telepathically.


How can ziggy ignore a question that was never asked?

What specifically about the cubs situation?

I bet he's still in surgery. It's NAI. 😛

Still neutering people 🤣

 

[PippyPony]

No, he actually didn't. He agreed with me that the royal thing wasn't used n1, exactly like I said. His interpretation led this to be village pip, different than mine.

NO. This is not an interpretation thing.

Your argument was that I was lying about it. I'm not lying about it, and certainly not in the way you are implying, so ???????

 

[WildZoo]

She hasn't answered me either

Pretty hard for me to answer a question I haven't seen yet, eh? In case I wasn't clear in sign ups, I will not be constantly lurking the thread

Yeah good point. Kinda ticked she just voted for me and didn't even give a reason

unclench pip
Lynch dubs

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

What specifically about the cubs situation?

I don't exactly think its wolfy but it's a bit strange that he hasn't checked in this close to lynch close. He knows he has a lynch on him and even he pointed out that one lynch can become multiple lynch votes relatively quickly.

 

[dolphin106258]

WOW. I am probably not gonna play anymore if all people can focus on is activity level because you wouldn’t have NK analysis if this started on a day cycle for one point. And the fact that you do have it doesn’t mean it is the sole authority here.

And if Pippy is a wolf cool, but believe me you pointing out her forgetting that Dina wasn’t attempted on N1 specifically for her being royal but she was in fact a royal in a past game is so beyond annoying. You claim you have no memory for past games but apparently other people are required to have one???

I didn't say she ignored a question. Typically people respond when you call them out though. Typically ziggy in particular responds to anything directed at her, no question necessary.

Anyway I need to go back and respond to things in order before I get confused, please hold.

 

[Stroganoff]

@Navilly, are you leaning genny right now because of this initial feel?

Did she tell you she's a wolf?

Eh, not a fan of this comment, minor wolfy points.

Also is there an echo in here? Or is that just me?

 

[Navilly]

@Navilly, are you leaning genny right now because of this initial feel?

Initial feel, jump in activity when called out for lack of posts, pulling teeth to get her to explain votes. Likely still going to switch, just brief read back has me wanting to vote genny.
