I am confused by lawpy's sidebars about how exactly the wolf rojo happened in the noob game as it seems largely irrelevant but became a conversation for multiple players for a hot minute

Lawpy's just post-padding so he can beat me for top poster. But I'm onto him.

Ok here is where I am at, because I haven't had any strong wolf pings yet.

Nooblets are a mystery to me entirely, and I find voting them out D1 both harmful for morale and not overall helpful for identifying their packmates. So, y'all get a D1 pass from me, this game at least.

I won't be voting lawpy, kal, or meats out today since they haven't played in a while, unless they literally come in here howling.

I have tentative village points for Mel, AM, and genny. Vis always pings me D1 so I'm marinating on that. April hasn't pinged me but I also don't have village points for her yet, so I'm going to read back through her posts. Alley is off-limits d1.

I think that leaves sporty :thinking:

So I might just reread and see what I find. In the meantime...

unyeet Mel

I like that I earned a "no yeet D1 card" for being so crotchety and out of practice. Is this the WW version of bumpers?

WildZoo said:
That would depend on how it was presented

I have a PowerPoint and people will get a free toaster if they sit through the whole presentation

Yes

I already have a toaster oven, can I get an air fryer instead?
 
I feel good about true and shelter. Fine for now about alley, zenge, AM, and lawpy, octo, puppy, and mel.

I see where the fluff sus is coming from, but I'm willing to give her a D1 noob pass since I know I was also a jokey slipping-up villager in my first few games, and because it wigs me out when seemingly everyone agrees on the sus with no defense for her.
Vis tends not to be a good D1 yeet so I'm not going there today either.
Dubz isn't pinging me so for now I'm just going to take that for what it's worth for now.

I've sensed a bit of a difference in stoat's play compared to the noob game, a bit toned down, but I'm wondering if that's just her trying to be a bit less emotionally invested in this game so she doesn't get burnt out. Could see sus there but I'm holding out for more info.

Which leaves youngkal, vmh, genny, samac, ivy, sporty, violet, zuri, and oxygen in neutrals. No particularly strong wolf vibes in this group so far.

it was already addressed by other players after I continued reading. I think the line of thinking is a dangerous way to validate reading AM, though I'm not necessarily awarding either of you wolf points for it*. It's just not something I'm condoning either lol

how about we don't start off the game with me being pissy at you? Don't put words in my mouth.
And frankly, that's a vast misconception of a statement in the first place.

*Edit: cuz you're noobs

I don't see how cross-referencing games is dangerous. It's not like he's saying no one can ever suspect me either nor has he said he's not listening to anyone but himself. It's just his own village read. So to discourage building a bloc based off of evidence is far more dangerous than what you're suggesting.

It's not all my line of thinking, but to be quite frank, reading AM is going to be hard for me so it's not something I want to stress about. Her tendency to turn up the heat makes me feel put on-the-spot and that makes it harder to think about her in turn; it's not ineffective lol. Also hugs.

Would it help if I made more mustelid jokes

I've been holding back to not annoy people

Would you like my lengthiness to be freed

I'm gonna

Vote April


And see how it feels

vetmedhead said:
Also still mulling over April but have her neutral at best rn, just have a weird feeling about how many of her posts seem agreeable but then no real actionable content or are just about how bad she is at reading people previously lol
Click to expand...
Did you have any updated thoughts about April between these two posts that made you go from a Neutral read, to voting for her?

Can I ask why you feel good about Octo and puppy?

The whole "AM is 90% village" thing within 4-6 pages of game thread is what I hold issue with, save for select few mechanical circumstances which really shouldn't be coming up in the first day of play unless necessary.

You are once again putting words in my mouth because I don't have an issue with cross-referencing. I think the certainty of the read this early, on a player historically difficult for many to read, is ripe for misdirection and caution should be heeded.

I feel like I've been nodding along to puppy's posts for the most part, I like the effort to analyze.
Octo is brand new here and seems to be doing more nooby village things than nooby wolf things. Getting a feel for the general principles of the game, asking questions here rather than a theoretical wolf chat. Of course it's no slam dunk read but I feel okay pursuing elsewhere in the roster right now.

I mean, I don't think there should have to be a page minimum before people think it's safe to acknowledge me. Too many neutrals lose games.

I don't need mechanics to be village read. No one does unless they're not posting enough.

You said the exact same thing when dy said I was village D1. It's okay to not have an AM reading card. I don't see the issue with stating a read on me D1 either though.
 
WildZoo said:
Think of it more as a medium orange. It's not me saying "woah stoat is HOWLING"
The people in that color have either a couple small wolf points or one big thing that pinged me, and a lack of village points to counteract it.
Click to expand...
Fair enough. She defended me, when it would have been easy for a wolf to jump on my bandwagon, since I did mess things up earlier. So she's village in my headspace. So is Truenamer

Wouldn't it be good to encourage everyone to appear on the thread so that in future days we have previous knowledge on them? Not appearing on a thread at all would make it difficult to understand anything about you. If someone provides minimal information about themself that would indicate to me that they want their identity to be less known.
If I apply a vote indicating that it is because I want to hear more from a given person, then wouldn't that convince them to say more to get me to switch my vote? (Especially if that vote puts them close to being the majority vote)

Honestly on my first read through the thread I was focusing on suspicions and tried to pick them out. I didn't feel super strongly that I could trust anyone as village. I wouldn't say I have any decent village reads.

I’m currently at my supervisors house.
I’ll be back when I can, should be before yeet close.

Okay, I have to get on the road to get back at a reasonable time. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get on before close but it'll be tight just as an FYI

Smh y'all know how I feel about these kinds of posts
 
bluestoat said:
Oh my god

April

I have literally not been hitting the quote button unless I'm preparing a post and going back after an initial iso

This is the dumbest epiphany I've had today good night time for stoats to sleep

(Yes, I didn't teach him the quote button because I'm a *****)
Click to expand...
What if I told you I didn't know how to multiquote for 2 years?

There is a steep difference between dy calling you village on D1 and a noob calling you village on D1. A noob does not have an AM reading card. Your point here is invalid.

About to make dinner so reading on this later but:

Village-leaning neutral, no particular order:

Justafluff, AM, TrueNamer, Lawpy, Alley

Neutral:
ViolettVet, Shelty, April, Melchizedek

Uncertain/wolfy:
Zenge, Vis, OctoDoc for being eager to join and then incredibly absent

Insufficient data for: many
Click to expand...
I did an ISO on Zenge, but nothing there. He's after my bunny tail, but can't blame him about that.
I don't see what people find wolfy in Vis.
For OctoDoc that's a very good point.
 
WildZoo said:
@Aprilthearab those don't really seem like questions that would make much sense to ask in wolf chat to begin with
Click to expand...
They're not particularly open ended questions, but they feel like sincere attempts to grasp wolfhunting conceps.

I guess I don't really remember Octo asking anything outside of inquiring my stance on pressure votes.

Can I ask which puppy posts you're nodding to? I thought they comprised of her suspecting fluff and being neutral on you.
