Why did you pick AM of all people?

Truenamer said:
I don't really know anyone except for Stoat, so I was trying to figure out who to vote for for this first round. AM came off as kind of abrasive at first, so I briefly considered her, but then I got the feeling that she was village and wanted to dig into it.

hmm truey is coming across as genuine to me

I second that, I was AM's sidecar in the BoWWnty game and her attitude was similar to what I see here. I think she legit got annoyed at genny. But I also buy that genny's vote on AM was a joke and then she prolonged that conversation. The whole genny - AM discussion doesn't seem wolfy to me yet.

Wait i thought everyone was 3P in the bounty game?
 
Truenamer said:
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.

Hmm this.. this is interesting

Largely because i forgot what happened in Wedding and got confused between that and Casino where AM somehow sounded exactly the same to me (when i was a smol tot) either way

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.

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

But Pippy can’t be really extrapolated to genny?
 
Truenamer said:
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?

This is a good thought. But the casual coasters (e.g. people who happily joke post consistently throughout D1 while offering barely any original thoughts or casually agreeing with consensus) are better bets to look for wolves.
 
WildZoo said:
If I can do a little AM translation...she was pointing out an example of a wolf treating her similarly to how she perceived genny was treating her here.

It's maybe something to think about but I don't know that I see wolf!genny approaching AM the same way wolf!pippy does. I can't remember when they were last w/v outside of HZD and well, I'm bad at remembering that kind of thing from games I modded.

Iirc last year’s basics had wolf!genny and village!AM i think?
 
Truenamer said:
Mostly Bowwnty hunting, Wwedding, and ggoats. Hard to put the feelings I get into words, humans are complicated (I hear they make you study for years before you're allowed to tinker with them). It was more reading to get a better feel for AM and her usual patterns of response and questioning.

When people are in positions of knowledge/authority, they focus on different things and ask different questions. Being a wolf in this game is, in many ways, a position of authority.

This is an interesting interpretation of powerwolfing

It suddenly occurs to me that a few of you now have gotten your SOs to play after you've played like one game, and yet here I am after almost 8 years and Hubz still refuses

violetvett said:
Hi everyone! I only bowl with the guardrails on, otherwise I just gutter all of them 😊

Yeet fluff. They were village in the other two games I've played, so they gotta be wolf by now (/s).

violetvett said:
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 think i now have you fully mixed with fluffy and zuris due to the smol bunnies and bowling and more bunnies

Bunnies have now joined cattos and doggos in the Lawpy request for petto pics :cat:🐶🐰:shy:

Don't kill me off and I'll reward y' all with bunnies!

Also, before I forget

unyeet Octodocto

cause I like his poems.
Me and Zuri are at home with covid so I'll take tomorrow to think more carefully about my vote. Goodnight!
 
bluestoat said:
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."

This doesn’t really make sense to me and her comment read as fishing to me, but then I’ve never been a noob villager so I suppose I might just not understand the mindset.

What do you mean by fishing? If it's at me then cool w/e, but please expound if it is for Fluff.

Ftr if this weren’t your first game I’d be pushing harder about you allegedly making a pretty solid village read based on patterns that you can’t describe. But if you’re sincerely wolfhunting I don’t want to put you off your efforts by making it seem like wolfhunting just gets you more and more pressure vs laying low (not true, don’t go that route). To be clear, I’m not looking for an ISO or concrete examples or anything, just a general description. You’re approaching it in the second paragraph (I’m just unclear what the “different things” that you’re seeing are, exactly).
 
Lawpy said:
Wait i thought the whole rojo happened because a wolf quoted their packmate’s slip up?
Click to expand...
Sort of (note that I was very confused by this part). TME rojo'd, Dana responded as though they were in wolfchat and then very quickly edited her post and immediately threw TME under the bus to save herself. She did lie about the contents of her response post though but stoat pressured her into admitting it.
 
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
