BOWWLING TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD

Why with such a general question? I would not know where to begin with responding, since to make a brief summary of gameplay, I'd have to summarize what I've read, add qualifiers, remark on discrepancies, etc

OMG you mean you'd have to wolfhunt?

Spoiler

 

[Truenamer]

OMG you mean you'd have to wolfhunt?

Spoiler

WOW, Mel really does have wolf vibes, they weren't kidding

 

[WildZoo]

I had a dream that Zenge called me out for wolfy lurking

That would be quite hypocritical of him

 

[WildZoo]

I'm crowdsourcing my reads.

 

[WildZoo]

WOW, Mel really does have wolf vibes, they weren't kidding

That's actually one of the most village posts he's made so far

 

[bluestoat]

OMG you mean you'd have to wolfhunt?

Spoiler

🥺 wolfhunt too pls

 

[genny]

WOW, Mel really does have wolf vibes, they weren't kidding

Really? I think he sounds like a villager so far.

 

[alleycat03]

That would be quite hypocritical of him

I know, right? I was like “dang my brain has a sick sense of irony here”

 

[Melchizedek]

🥺 wolfhunt too pls

what do you think I'm DOING?!? 🤣

 

[Truenamer]

Really? I think he sounds like a villager so far.

Oh, probably.

 

[Aprilthearab]

Would be very counterproductive for a wolf to be as aggressive and stir the pot as hard this early in the game. The more passive people are as a whole, the more likely wolves are to win.

Also, vibes

If you'd like, you can go back and read the ggoats game where she was being ten times as stubborn and sassy as she is here and her wolf team won after I screamed into the abyss for days and days 😛
Only difference was that genny was on her side (though not actually on her side) in that game lolol

 

[WildZoo]

Y'all laugh reacting that like I was joking, smh

 

[genny]

Only difference was that genny was on her side (though not actually on her side) in that game lolol

vote me for choke award! 👍

 

[Melchizedek]

🥺 wolfhunt too pls

I'll stop being a crab and explain better.

Its super easy for a wolf (who already knows the roster barring 3p's) to come on thread and "generate" discussion or look like they're wolf hunting by stating a read and using "meta" or "vibes" or nothing concrete. I'm asking because I'm evaluating Truenamer's thought process and reasoning. If they have specific examples that made them feel like AM is a villager, I want to see them because I can evaluate it myself and see if I agree with Truenamer's logic, or if Truenamer is just BS'ing a read.



(ETA: I'm not actually crowdsourcing my reads, I was just being glib)

You'd have to forgive the noobest of us, he does stand out....

 

[Aprilthearab]

vote me for choke award! 👍

Oh no, I voted you best wolf for that 😉

 

[genny]

i could be wrong, i don't have any insider info. take all opinions with a grain of salt. or ask for clarification if something isn't sitting right with you.

 

[alleycat03]

Yeet Truenamer for accusing honest villagers of being lupine when I am a villager and share that I’m a villager! I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a bowling alley with more distrust.

I feel like you’re subconsciously trying to convince us that you’re a villager just by saying the word over and over again. Hmmmmm

@Melchizedek You answer me or you're getting it.

Wha-psh!

Not much data to go on yet, so it makes sense that there isn't too much conversation yet.

Though if we want hot takes, I can say that Animal Midwife is 85-90% likely to be village.

Very hot take, and I think it will be interesting to see if you were right. AM feels okay to me right now, but it takes me a bit longer before I can actually feel okay about her (also admitting I don’t have a great read rate on her).

I was in a pointless training today, don't expect this much effort in the future 😁

Which games did you go back and read?

 

[genny]

Oh no, I voted you best wolf for that 😉

i think i won that last year for actual wolfing. but alas, the choke award still eludes me.

Getting pinged here
Probably means you're village

 

[vetmedhead]

No, you just get to be embarrassed by this amazing score (last bowling pic of the game, promise)
PS - No idea where that one dash came from, I blame WW as a distraction or else I would have been 20 points higher

You're WELCOME

 

[Viscernable]

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

What does this mean?

 

[Melchizedek]

You'd have to forgive the noobest of us, he does stand out....

What stands out? What is it about that data that makes you think wolf over villager?

 

[Truenamer]

Which games did you go back and read?

I could totally be wrong! I'm used to playing games like this in person, and stuff doesn't translate perfectly to text.

Games I ISO'd were Bowwnty hunting, Wwedding, and ggoats. Speaking of which, you guys are hilarious.

 

[Viscernable]

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.

I got the first crossvoting, then her saying you have more of an attitude when wolfing, then you disagreeing, but the disagreement after that and what your post to Pippy has to do with it lost me.

 

[Truenamer]

Again, you're standing out by dint of sheer persistence and aggressiveness. But like AM, you really don't feel wolf to me.

 

[bluestoat]

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

This seems so trusting of Fluffy, and so in line with our last game, that it has me shuffling Fluffy into the 'neutral- village leaning' category. Fluff doesn't seem very sly to me (...yet. you could be bunnicula in disguise, you crafty lapin) and that seems like an off-the-cuff villager comment.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Pippy claimed that I was wrong regarding memory of her read rate on another player. I was right. (And she was a wolf.)

 

[Viscernable]

Wait explain clearly

Mel being grouchy about RVS -> place random vote on Mel

I wouldn't focus too much on BoWWnty hunting. That was an experimental game with different rules where everyone was 3P.

 

[Melchizedek]

Again, you're standing out by dint of sheer persistence and aggressiveness. But like AM, you really don't feel wolf to me.

Believe it or not this is actually me trying not to scare off the new players. Some of the vets will attest to that

Honestly I will probably never wolf-read fluff. PROTECT OUR MAYOR FOREVER!

Why does her implying you have a PR seem trusting?

Same Blue, like our last game you seem very analytical and logic-driven. That comment is my own tinfoil theory. It's only based on the data I have about zuri, he got his role way faster than me I got no PRs no nothing.

 

[bluestoat]

Why does her implying you have a PR seem trusting?

It is a thin feeling and does not stand up to strict logic or analysis, and I would not apply that reasoning to most players. I was apologizing to Mel for angling while teasing True. Fluff responded to my comment with a remark on the content of my tease in a way that seemed a little like conciliatory shoulder pat, figuratively speaking. It's an untrue but vaguely endearing sentiment; I don't think it would be in character for Fluff, being a wolf pretending to be a villager, to think of that particular kind of remark. Maybe to also apologize or focus on their own partner yeet, but not to focus on me. That seems a little "I'm village-- it didn't occur to me to be anxious as a wolf for drawing attention while being playful."

Sorry again for saying you stand out, my only experience playing with you is when you were a tree stump and you weren't participating as much. I'm not saying I'm reading you wolf or village.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Admittedly, a better 3p game (assuming you have time) would be Casino. I was putting my own survival over wolf hunting in Bounty more than usual due to being confused on wincons/vulnerability.

 

[bluestoat]

Again, thin logic, it could change as the game continues, but it just occurred to me that I wouldn't have responded that way if I were a first time wolf.

I'm still confused but don't know what to clarify on. Thank you for the response anyways.

 

[Truenamer]

I will say, the wolfiest people right now are folks who aren't weighing in at all (except for maybe checking in once at the beginning). They have their own thread, right?

 

[Animal Midwife]

As a side note, try to avoid hinting at being a vanillager if you're not in danger. Wolves pick that up and have a narrower pool to pick PRs out of.

I added commas, if that helps. If this helps too, it's 50% ✨vibes✨ based on past game play

Oh, I know that I'm definitely going to be more of a target than the average person. But there may be reasons why I don't mind that.

You mean the wolves having a separate chat or are you referring to something else?

 

[Truenamer]

Yeah, this is my first game. Just clarifying that they have their own thread that they can talk in, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Are you assigning any village points for that question? I marked it a zero.

 

[Truenamer]

You should mark it a zero, it was a very performative question to ask

 

[Viscernable]

Because I wanted an honest answer from Stoat first, so I wouldn’t have to wonder if her answer was adulterated by my own.

I mean you can just, like, not answer it, Z
