I'm honestly confused by that comment she made. In no way am I "hardsiding" with you. I'm not siding with anyone, I'm just trying to see what else there is to your posts and figure out what's redeemable and what's wolfy
Nobody was actively discussing Zenge until I brought him up in a post where I took Zenge and Visc out of my initial village reads.
If I'm a wolf, I had no reason make noise about Zenge when he was deep in everyone village reads.
 
@Lawpy that's a fair point, but I still didn't like my interactions with you yesterday. I was giving solid reasoning and you didn't even respond, missed one of my posts, and then went on to say I was misunderstanding you. It seemed intentional that you weren't acknowledging my posts because you realized your argument against me really wasn't that great and that's really what has turned my eyes towards you today
I was also responding to several others at the same time and people wanted to drop the conversation to avoid getting sidetracked from wolfhunting over mechanics reasons. My focus on you now is not about the mechanics (which is why i was surprised when you brought that topic up) but actually on the D1 and D2 voting patterns and behavior. I caught zenges using this approach and i believe wolves who are commonly village read are hiding in there.
 
@Lawpy I brought that up because if you said something about my voting pattern then I must've missed it and thought you were only going after me because of my vig shot. If you want to see my voting pattern, I've been keeping a spreadsheet every single day (except I missed D1 since there were a lot of people) of when people vote. There's not a single vote I've made that I can't explain

Still working on Mel's ISO right now but I do think Lawpy would be an interesting person of interest, since I feel like they've been going pretty unnoticed overall. I'm sure Lawpy's been brought up before and there's reasons for those village-leans but I haven't looked into that yet.
Yes. He been attacked by all the wolves for ridiculous reasons (add Mel to the pile whenever he flips), focused on Vis long before the D3 wagon occured, and pushed Zenge at a time when most were focused on Mel/meats.
 
Here’s what i’m thinking currently

Mels, alleys, puppy, pshelty

In the event Mels is village, we should consider AM and look into puppy and pshelty more closely.

I don’t think AM is compatible with alleys.


D1 and D2 voting patterns

@Lawpy I brought that up because if you said something about my voting pattern then I must've missed it and thought you were only going after me because of my vig shot. If you want to see my voting pattern, I've been keeping a spreadsheet every single day (except I missed D1 since there were a lot of people) of when people vote. There's not a single vote I've made that I can't explain
See above
 
You were extremely cagey and unclear about it, and I don't get why a straightforward question would be met with such resistance from you.
This is a blatant lie. Try again.
It was NOT true. Scroll up to Fluffy's post on how many people were reading her as wolfy, neutral, and village throughout the game. There is no way "most" of the players were village reading her at that point in the game (D2 iirc). A lot of people were wolfreading her and voting for her before the average bowling score discussion she had with me and Violet.
Prove it. You can't.
Because intentionally causing confusion on thread when it is easily confirmable simply by scrolling up (by other players and yourself) is really odd. It is increasing confusion and when we need to coalsce into a village bloc you're directly impeding that.
Can you explain the wolf benefit of correcting myself so fast it was even before fluff, herself, could?

Show me the direct consequences of how that impeded the formation of a village bloc.
 
So now you think I'm a busser? Why? How does the supposed strategy of bussing Vis and voting zenge before the vig shot make any sense or equate to anything besides a villager voting for the people who are wolves??
I gave you minor cred after Zenge flipped, but your ongoing exaggeration of events before and after the shot is making me wonder if that was just another performance.

I refuse to give you any cred for voting Vis because it occurred less than three minutes to close after April had already doubled down.

He also was mentioned in the Vis rojo/fauxjo. Don't forget that. Maybe it was a real rojo. I just don't see why hes continuing to push the narrative that I am a wolf after the Zenge flip
"Maybe it was a real rojo."

That's it. You're next after Mel flips. You can't even keep your story straight
 
Okay this might be stupid but I'm gonna go with my Mel yeet again and I'm leaving it there. If Mel flips village, I'll be yeeting AM tomorrow.

Yeet Mel
 
My reads list:
Sporty killed Zenge so they're at the top of my list
Fluff because I like their posts lately and Zenge's death helped clear them
Pshelty because I always like their logic and have never seen anything wolfy from them
Violet because her later posts in the game read village and I think their role reveal was genuine as we've seen more roles in the game
Samac I still lean village but am a bit questionable of since they really didn't think Vis was a wolf and I'm not sure what to make of their vig shot
Alley because I agree with a lot of their posts/thought processes but some people are pretty suspicious of them
April because I've like a lot of their logic and their vote on Vis.
Kal I honestly don't remember much of the content of their posts so this is a ping for me to look into them more.
AM I've struggled with reading this game, but they backed Zenge so much, but also backed Fluff so idk.
Mel has been in my POE for a while now
Lawpy has gone under the radar a lot this game, is now pushing me and Alley a lot, and on D3 Lawpy only joined the Vis vote when it was really late and already at a majority, and after that had a contingency vote on Meaty yet doesn't understand my vig shot on Meaty, and then switched to Mel once Mel had a few votes already. It feels like Lawpy makes votes early but then sheeps later onto votes to feel as if he is agreeing with the village majority. He voted for Vis when Vis was already clearly going to die and he joined on the wagon for Mel once it was clear that villager Meaty wasn't going to be the one yeeted that day.
Fine if you want to put Sporty on top, but there is zero reason for April to be that low. Especially under alley. She's the one who kept fueling the Vis wagon whole alley and Mel hung out on Kal until the last few minutes.

I've already given my reasoning on Lawpy, but reaffirming here he pushed Vis and Zenge before alley ever did.
 
I think Kal's just overwhelmed. It's very difficult for me to make a case for her being wolfy given how the confirmed wolves have treated her.
True... I'm so confused by where kal stands. She won't vote for mel and jokes that she's been pocketed but so did VMH. But Mel easily chose to vote her over Vis.

@puppydogtor April is absolutely village. I would literally bet my life on it at this point since she's my PM partner. That would not be a fruitful path.
I don't agree with Lawpy wanting to investigate me, but the pushback on Lawpy's claims feels awfully wolfy. Lawpy is probably the villagiest villager in my reads.
 
Fine if you want to put Sporty on top, but there is zero reason for April to be that low. Especially under alley. She's the one who kept fueling the Vis wagon whole alley and Mel hung out on Kal until the last few minutes.
I missed pretty much everything that day. I was the first person to vote Vis and then I had a lot going on and was absent even for vote close. I'll go back and read that part though
 
Mel D3 - ISO
This is where I'm at with my POE and in the order I'd vote for them.

YK, Sporty, OctoDoc, Blue, Visc +/- Zenge, April, AM

I'm starting to come around on Visc because yeah I gave her village points for some of her early pushes but going back over it, they're kinda superficial questioning.

Zenge idk I feel like I gave him too much village cred early. Gameplay has been villagey overall, but I'm not happy with his meats vote/push and I felt a little bit of buddying re: my noob!wolfpack theory.


April is back in POE because of the Ivy ISO but just barely.

Something about AM is off, I don't like that she's misinterpreting threadstate so egregiously, as indicated by myself and alley's correction last night. I'd vote there if people want to flip her but if I'm the only one that feels she's off, the Dubz N1 kill is enough for me to stay off of her for another day or two.
Okay, Mel is starting to stop 100% village reading Vis for the first time. Zenge read was on point, also. It would be odd for a wolf to implicate two wolves in the same post. AM suspicions remain.

I asked about meats because I feel like she's village (see below for why) and throughout the game you've been wishy-washy on her and sometimes it feels like you're just trying to throw suspicion everywhere and see where it sticks. You gave A reason about why meats makes you uncomfortable, but its also contingent on your alley read. Do you have anything about meats individually that makes you think she is wolf/village? What were the initial things you found sus, even if its just tone, I'd like you to point it out so I can evaluate it too.

Doesn't hesitate to call out wagons that she thinks is built on faulty logic. I'd like to know exactly what she thought was reachy and who if anyone was wolf either driving that vote or sheeping.







ehh not thrilled about the vibes thing. The reasoning for voting April over Alley makes sense though.


Shows follow up reads on April and Alley with decent insight that I agree with. I'd started to get a village read on both of them end of D1/after D1.

The sporty comments seem a little sheep-like, and the fluff comments are very hedgy.



So pockety 😍 but genny and dubz both village read me and some others are. Maybe I'm better at explaining my thought process this game or people have adjusted to my baseline. Idk. Something i'm keeping in mind.



This is sound. She's generating discussion. mild feels that its the same line of inquiry I was pushing with Zuri, but I've been more active than her, it could just be I got to the question first.


This is probably the most village post from her. She noted a discrepancy, went back to investigate it, and presented the results. I think this is good village play.




This catch kind of cinches it for me. AM has frequently pushed me to consider my early wolf reads in a pack and I have to remind her that I don't usually do pack analysis until at least one flip. The fact that AM isn't thinking pack compatibility re: Meats and April, bothers me.

Meats made a pretty big show of voting April over Alley on D1 and I don't think she would bus right off the bat with no real pressure on April, so it doesn't make sense to me that AM would have both April and Meats in her top 3. This highlights what I mean by I feel like AM is "off."
Big long post on why meats is (correctly) village. It would be weird for a wolf to do that when lots of people are sus of meats.

About the Ivy wagon
The wagon was: April, YK, violet, jfluff, Vis, vmh
Of those people I'm worried about YK, vis, fluff, maaaaaaybe april in that order.
Can you rank them in order of how you're reading them wolfy to village?
This would be some pretty big bussing of Vis.

Mainly because YK wasn't super around/not providing a lot of reasoning.

Guess how much I care. My reads always get called weird.


Slow your roll. I’ve had PSV as solid village since the end of D1. I haven’t seen much talk about PSV or it didn’t register but I noticed many people easily village reading them. There’s so much resistance to a solid village bloc that it feels like there’s a deep wolf that people are overlooking. I’m re-evaluating to make sure I’m updating my reads as the game evolves.



I have had PSV as village too but earlier someone mentioned how not inexperienced PSV sounds and that’s set off feels.
I do like this villager paranoia about PSV.

Melchizedek - Mel always pings me for a majority of reasons, but his most recent reads list is something I can’t really agree with. A lot of strange reads and reasoning. I don’t get why he’s putting April in the POE for doing the Ivy ISO. She was wrong, but I don’t see how being wrong on a read most people found wolfy since D1. AM was a weird addition too. I get they were in a certain order and April and AM were lower on the list, but still it’s pretty weird.
This has already been brought up, but this seems like a really weird thing for a wolf to say about another wolf.

But Zenge did sorta bus Vis
Wolfy:
Viscernable - I’ve been reading though Vis’s posts and I’m in agreement with people’s reads and votes here. The one thing that trips me up, is that if Fluff IS village, and Vis is a wolf, why wouldn’t Vis vote for Fluff at the end of D2? I guess it doesn’t change anything overall, contributions still seem like they’re really game solving, pushes seem off in a way that’s feels too forceful and less thoughtful than I expect from village!vis.

Right now it feels like the people that have been discussed over and over are Visc, VMH, DocOcto, Sporty, and YK
of these people I'm not willing to vote VMH for sure. YK and Sporty I'd vote for, but YK>Sporty. Visc I can be talked into but I don't feel like she's a wolf. I don't really know what to do with DocOcto. Seems to be struggling to swim in the deep end, I'd go there later in the game if they aren't resolved by then.

The two blocs seem to me to be myself, alley, VMH, Lawpy or AM, April, Sporty +/- Blue.
Don't know where I'd put PSV, Pubdog, or zenge between those blocs and I'm wondering if this is where the overlooked wolf is, because I haven't seen anyone really tell me why these three should be considered village besides vague references to feels, vibes, etc. I've liked PSV and Pubdog's posts for the most part. They look like they're asking questions, chasing down their leads, and trying to gather data. Zenge feels like he's just been....around? I would start with Zenge in this group.
Still uncertain on Vis, but again this would be some weird bussing of Zenge when there's not a lot of discussion on them.

Did you miss the part where alley, VMH, Lawper, and I have been village reading each other throughout the last 5 pages or do I need to go quote it all for you?*


*which is not going to happen because I don’t have time to do your legwork if you’re not paying attention.
Might be relevant later depending on flips.

I’m off lunch now and the schedule is crammed so no guarantees about activity later in the cycle.

YK is not wolf hunting. I won’t oppose a Visc vote, but Visc has at least shown some good wolf hunting efforts, albeit in slightly sheeping territory. I would rather flip YK over Visc today.
Valid reasoning, still uncertain of Vis.

20 minutes before deadline
Unvote YK
Vote Visc


1. I’m trying to solidify the divide between these two because I’m not in the mood for another tie and I don’t trust the rest of you hooligans while I’m driving home.
2. @justafluff @potentialsheltervet your complaints about me have been registered. Can we crack some of the people more in the PoE and if I’m wrong then by all means vote me.
The only way this would make sense for a wolf to do is if YK is also a wolf, but I just can't see a wolf bussing TWO wolves in the same day.

So, yeah from D3, I can't see Mel being a wolf unless he's bussing everyone.

Side note:
Yeet Vis

According to my notes they didn't place a vote at all until 9:53 PM last night for Ivy (please correct me if I'm wrong). They've been on my sus list for a while now but since they withheld their vote till last minute and used the reasoning of only wanting to break the tie/save their noob, they get my vote.

@Viscernable who would you have wanted to vote for yesterday if you didn't need to break a tie/save your noob?
puppy is def village-leaning for me from this, as it was one of the first Vis votes of the day (unless it's some weird hardcore bussing).
 
@puppydogtor @justafluff @samac @Aprilthearab you're making the anti-village move.

If you're doubting the yeet protection:
1. YK has confirmed there is a protection action.
2. No one has counter-claimed a protection on N2
3. No one has counter-claimed a protection on N3
4. I told you early so you don't waste today. This is how villagers use a vote protection.


I am an easy misyeet, think harder. Notice how AM has been in the background just kind of sheeping people's votes or echoing throughts. The only hard stances she took were on me AFTER I started making a case against her, and when she was defending zenge. This is your wolf.

If you vote me today there will be no flip. People will use this reasoning to vote me tomorrow again and waste another day. When I flip village, everyone is saying they will go after AM.
Vote AM today, and if I'm wrong you can flip me tomorrow, and you still don't lose a cycle.

I don’t get this. Vissy’s claims were verified on thread and i don’t think anyone counterclaimed them and she’s a wolf.
 
@Melchizedek there is also a chance that you didn't use the yeet protection for anyone this cycle and that's why no one is claiming it.
F this yeet protection. I should've shot Mel
what utility is there in me not using it today? I bought myself an extra day to help generate more data and figure out the pack. I'm presenting you the data I've found today.
 
You wrote a paragraph detailing on doubting yeet protection and i was responding to that
No you equated no counter claims to visc being a wolf. Thats a fallacy.

Doubting the yeet protection is a separate issue from whether I'm a wolf or not.

If you are a wolf that has a yeet protection ability, it is possible that you told us you used it for today but really are saving it for yourself for tomorrow. Or you used it on another wolf today who hasn't come forward

Think that through. If I'm a wolf, I've bought myself at max 1 extra cycle. People will continue to suspect me and push me. If I'm a wolf I'm going to be yeeted at some point and the one extra cycle isn't going to matter.

Now one extra cycle as an alive villager with time to do analysis and possibly find a wolf and clear myself, is much more useful.

^^ This is my concern with how many times Mel has said we should not yeet him today but should yeet him tomorrow if he's wrong about AM.

There’s no reason to follow up on the details of the yeet protection right after the argument of yeeting you being antivillage if there’s no apparent connection between the two. The way they were juxtaposed like that suggested you’re using the yeet protection argument to bolster your village case that was then followed up by your arguments why you think AM is wolfy
 
Think that through. If I'm a wolf, I've bought myself at max 1 extra cycle. People will continue to suspect me and push me. If I'm a wolf I'm going to be yeeted at some point and the one extra cycle isn't going to matter.
I mean, it kind of will if it means the wolves get to kill another villager tonight and get that much closer to parity. If we assume there's 3 more wolves, that would get them one step closer to parity.

how about this, once my protection runs out today, I'll give you the vote protection tomorrow and go down quietly while you all vote me into oblivion?

This is how you presented it in the initial part of your post

The way they were juxtaposed like that suggested you’re using the yeet protection argument to bolster your village case that was then followed up by your arguments why you think AM is wolfy
The reason I talked about the vote protection is because there are still people doubting if I have one. I put them in the same post because I'm attempting to be conservative with my number of posts because every time I have to defend myself in WW, my like : post goes down lol
 
I might come around on Mel.
This is from Monday morning before Vis even flipped. Mel said he'd be looking into Zenge. He was defending VMH. He was sus of YK as well, but as he said, it was before YK even mentioned the yeet protection. The quote after this one (not included here) was Samac saying she'll eat a shoe if vis flips wolf, so in perspective it wasn't so bad of Mel to want to trust vis.
Right now it feels like the people that have been discussed over and over are Visc, VMH, DocOcto, Sporty, and YK
of these people I'm not willing to vote VMH for sure. YK and Sporty I'd vote for, but YK>Sporty. Visc I can be talked into but I don't feel like she's a wolf. I don't really know what to do with DocOcto. Seems to be struggling to swim in the deep end, I'd go there later in the game if they aren't resolved by then.

They look like they're asking questions, chasing down their leads, and trying to gather data. Zenge feels like he's just been....around? I would start with Zenge in this group.
@youngkal the below quote is what I was talking about. Mel says that it was wolfy of you to not reveal you had yeet protection. I honestly don't think so. I think its wise to not reveal you are protected because a yeet protector or NK protector is a very powerful role. Anyway Mel claims he thought it was wolfy so he voted for you over vis. I understand that you don't want to vote for him. But if he's a wolf this doesn't look good for you.
I know you’re going to hate that this is coming from ME and not anyone else but:

With Visc’s bussing history and the fact that YK was under scrutiny end of D1, it’s not inconceivable that Visc blocked YK so that when one flips the other gets cleared.
 
If you think my interactions with vissy and zenges are W/W, there’s a major problem in itself right there. Vissy tried to smear me and failed, and zenges was actively mocking and demeaning me until i buried him with those series of vote interactions and quotes that he was struggling to grasp.
Okay. I am wholeheartedly admitting that I haven’t evaluated you fully yet. You’re not my top priority right now, I think there’s wolfier people than you. I just do not like the sudden push you have here against me when I cannot be a wolf for many of the same reasons you cannot be a wolf.

It’s not a sudden push. I’m seriously looking into and considering the voting dynamics and behavior over the fluffy wagon, and the zenges stuff is secondary to this.

The problem is Mels could be lying and didn’t actually protect himself today. Risking a failed yeet on Mels tomorrow is too significant.
I will give the vote protection to anyone that the thread agrees on. That way you know for sure I don't have the vote protection tomorrow.
If I lie, then you know for sure I'm a wolf and you can treat me like an outted wolf while you find the last ones and vote me the next day.

I mean, it kind of will if it means the wolves get to kill another villager tonight and get that much closer to parity. If we assume there's 3 more wolves, that would get them one step closer to parity.
lets assume there's no 3p's and 2 wolves left.
D4 12 players 10:2 village:wolf
you take my word and vote someone else, for shortest game state we'll assume a villager ends up voted.
N4 11 players 9:2
Villager killed overnight
D5 10 players 8:2
You all vote me. Assuming I'm a wolf and use my vote protection D5 instead:
N5 11 players 8:2
D6 10 players 7:2 you vote me because I lied about vote protections
N6 9 players 8:1
Which then means you have 4 cycles to find the last wolf based off of 3 flipped wolves' interactions, reads, VCA etc. Thats a good bet.

However, yeet protection as a power is something I've only seen in wolves. But I'm a noob so...
Abilities.are.not.indicative.of.affiliation.
Mods will build games and give villagers "wolfy" abilities to prevent this kind of gamesolving similar to village code. I know you're talking about me, and it sounds like I'm defending, but this is legitimately a bad way to try to figure out the game and will burn you.
 
My concern is whether wolves have the voting abilities to rig the scores and hurt village. Look at zenges’ role description.
Omg that's so true! Also AM got 'intimidated" by Zenge to not vote. I get that he used it on himself on D3, but D2, no one was suspecting him, including AM!

AM will absolutely not bus, which has outed her before. Visc was getting heat. It was a nice way to shoot two birds with one stone: give AM village cred, and also give her an excuse to continue not bussing if Visc ended up flipping.
 
Okay lunch is over. Evening schedule is packed worse than Monday's 🙁
I might not be able to check in or get home in time for vote close, so this is my last defense until I have to do all this again tomorrow.


I am village. Vote elsewhere. If you want to find a wolf, I suggest AM.

Make good choices.
