BOWWLING TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD

May the bowling gods forgive me! I don't think I've played in over 3 years (thanks covid).

As penance for my bowling sin, here's a fun fact: Henry VIII liked bowling so much he banned it for the peasants and put a tax on owning private lanes. In other words, we're playing a nobleman's sport and I henceforth think we should all be addressed suitably (ie. Lady Violet, Duchess Fluff, etc.).

I’d like to be Royal Fluff (title irrelevant)

what about fluffy pillows

 

[samac]

An unexpected problem: I got used to everyone's noob game avatars and now I have to actually read usernames to know who's talking.
Also, I only play bowling on the Wii so this should be interesting.

I went bowling weekend before last for the first time in years.
I’m the most inconsistent person I think is possible.
I got a strike on my first frame, next frame I got 2 gutter balls.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I play bowling on Wii too

I was trying to find a Wii bowling-related gif or something to reply to this with and... uh...

 

[justafluff]

what about fluffy pillows

[samac]

Hmm 🤔

 

[Lawpy]

Well TIL about that bowling fact but Henry VIII terrifies me

 

[Lawpy]

Also TIL this:

“The earliest form of bowling known to exist has been traced back to ancient Egyptian time, around 5,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians rolled stones at various objects with the goal of knocking them over. Over time, various varieties of bowling emerged from the Ancient Egyptian game.”

So pls excuse me as i try to shift to AncientEgyptian!Lawpy

showing some love to my manator🙂
yeet Samac

Reminds me of when I yeeted my manator in my first game with her because I was a wolf and it felt like a safe place to put it lol

1. Bowling is both a TEAM sport AND an INDIVIDUAL sport! As such, wolves and villagers will be competing against each other as factions as is standard. However, Villagers will also be competing AGAINST EACH OTHER. Each villager has been assigned a starting bowling average. Your bowling average will go up or down depending on your actions throughout the game. Examples of things that will affect your score include, but are not limited to, frequency and content of posts, correct/incorrect vote placement, use of abilities, etc. At the end of the game the villagers will have a final ranking from highest to lowest average.

This makes me so nervous. I've always been super competitive in things like Kahoot and even AR points in elementary school. Like... I want to win as a villager but I also want to beat everyone else.
So... go village but also go me.

 

[Aprilthearab]

Is my meta now just a perpetual state of confusion?

No, that's my meta, you can't have it

 

[Aprilthearab]

True yeeting stoat and then stoat telling true to bold the vote is exactly what happened the first and only time I got Ace to play lol

Perfect example: I read this twice, not understanding it, before I realized it was my own post

That’s my noob! 😍

There's nothing to be nervous about. It's literally just rewarding good village play.

So i’m thinking about this more but i’m wondering if this means wolves also compete with each other.

It specifically says the in-competing only applies to villagers.

Yeah i saw that but the reason why i asked is the emphasis on bowling being a team and individual sport. So that created ambiguity for me.

How is it ambiguous when the entire paragraph following that sentence explains exactly how the mechanic works?

I just opened the game on my computer
and I just realized you're Kirby. I don't like this. It confuses me

 

[Lawpy]

Because some games in the past have gone with the assumption that “assume village if told otherwise” with cases of wolves acting functionally like villagers. So reading that got me confused, but yes it’s clear and direct that in-competing applies to villagers. Strange mechanics have happened before so i’m just wary

samacs pls it’s a Kirby variant

I mean does it even matter though? Is this individual ranking thing going to effect how anyone plays?

I know I like the tinfoil, I just don't get why this is something worth speculating about?

As a Persian, I greatly approve of this.

Polo is still better

May I be a Marchioness?

 

[Melchizedek]

Yeet Truenamer because he was right after me on signups but didn't get his role PM right after I got mine.

Actually for the opposite exact reason
yeet zuriburi
Cause he got his role way faster than me and ams innocent.

Ay
Knock off the angleshooting.
I didn’t even receive a PM because SDN is glitchy and Cubs had to resend mine. I still haven’t read it but that’s besides the point

 

[bluestoat]

Sorry, mostly was looking to tease my partner

It doesn’t have much relevance now but can potentially explain instances of unusual wolf behavior as the game progresses

 

[justafluff]

Still attached to the idea though that if you got your role earlier you must have a PR…

 

[WildZoo]

Who are you, LIS?

 

[Melchizedek]

Why are you so riled up about his misreading?

 

[Melchizedek]

Who are you, LIS?

these days, I’m realizing he was onto something

 

[genny]

As a Persian, I greatly approve of this.

I got very confused for a moment because your pic is not a Persian cat.

 

[genny]

Who are you, LIS?

He thinks it makes him harder to read, but it totally doesn’t work.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Why are you so riled up about his misreading?

Riled up?

 

[bluestoat]

I think it's just a case of tone not translating well over the web. I'd ask in genuine curiosity, like "please explain."

[bluestoat]

😅 That was for Mel

 

[Animal Midwife]

😅 That was for Mel

Which post of his?

 

[Zenge142]

samacs pls it’s a Kirby variant

Lawpy pls. You know know what you did.

 

[samac]

Vissy is finally here guys. I got a react on my PM post.

Maybe I won’t have to angry yeet her for ignoring me.

*impatiently taps foot*

 

[Viscernable]

RVS is bunkkkk
True votes only

Nah

Vote Mel

 

[Viscernable]

Actually for the opposite exact reason
yeet zuriburi

Smh I didn’t raise you to angleshoot

 

[Viscernable]

Oh, a genny/AM fight already? It's so early.

And I’m already lost as to what it’s about.

 

[Animal Midwife]

And I’m already lost as to what it’s about.

genny voted me for NAI stuff, I voted her back, she claims me remembering events accurately is wolfy. The last one is where my issue starts.

 

[genny]

And I’m already lost as to what it’s about.

AM doesn’t like it when I vote for her.

 

[Lawpy]

Lawpy pls. You know know what you did.

No okays pls
