Do you think a wolf!Vis would try to push a village!mk 2 games in a row? That's where I'm getting a little hung up.

I don't have much of a thought on that at all tbh. I think a lot of times wolves push and pocket the same people game to game without even realizing it.

 

[WildZoo]

@Barkley13 do you have any thoughts?

Woah, genny I was just thinking about you. Hi! Why Vis?

 

[supershorty]

Whoa, I was just about to change my vote to Vis and then genny ninjaed me.

 

[genny]

i don't think i've seen anything particularly wolfy from mkg so i wanted to change that joke vote. vis seems pushy in a wolfy way.

 

[genny]

sorry, i'm feeling particularly psychic tonight. I'll try to tone it down.

 

[supershorty]

Unyeet cubs
Yeet Vis

Uncomfortable with the mkg thing, but in looking back through her posts, I'm also a little uncomfortable with her willingness to drop a village read on cubs' bounty placing that seemed NAI at most after I thought about it more.

 

[Barkley13]

@Barkley13 do you have any thoughts?

There was a lot of mechanics talk that felt NAI and there were some joke posts that were also NAI. I usually feel like Alley is sketchy pretty immediately but haven’t felt that yet. I don’t feel inclined to change my vote from Cubs at this time because some of his posts felt odd and I wouldn’t know where to change it to. I don’t really see the mkg yeet right now.

But overall haven’t gotten many feels today

Which of cubs's posts bothered you?

 

[supershorty]

I have a zoom thing starting in 10 minutes that I probably actually should pay attention to (who schedules seminars at 7:30 at night??), so I might be a little scarce in the next hour, but I should be back before close.

 

[WildZoo]

Ok but for real, wat

 

[supershorty]

Ok but for real, wat

Next week, I have to give a talk at 7am, so I guess I'd take 7:30pm over that, tbh.

The instructions clearly state not to vote for lawpy but his count keeps going up lol

Oh god why
My brain is barely awake enough to listen to a talk at 7am, let alone give one

"Please turn your videos on out of respect for the speaker."

Oof. It's gonna be one of those.

 

[alleycat03]

Do you think a wolf!Vis would try to push a village!mk 2 games in a row? That's where I'm getting a little hung up.

Maybe she did it unintentionally. MKG is like the easiest misyeet bait

unyeet mkg
yeet vis

I don’t like this mind meld. After the post from shorty I quoted above, I got to thinking about how fast Vis claimed she had a tone read on MKG. But I see two other people have already had the same thought

This bothers me, because I feel like it’s almost identical to what you said about me during WWedding, when I was a villager and you were a wolf

 

[alleycat03]

I’m too tired to go back and look at that thread right now, but I’m making note of it because it pinged me

 

[WildZoo]

Oh boy I might pass out again. I think I'm between barks and Vis for bountying. But wanted to see how Vis responded to the votes on her and also continuing conversation with barks.

 

[Animal Midwife]

@alleycat03 I'm a bit confused. Are you for or against the mkg yeet?

I actually feel ever since the series of D1 alley misyeets she’s more and more being read village to start out, which started out probably not wanting to go after her intentionally and then it kinda crept in unconsciously to more general D1 village groupthink reading. So I’m actually not surprised you don’t find her wolfy at the moment, but I also haven’t seen any real village points either.

 

[WildZoo]

Was it this post?

Yeet sloth

Because the thing with the genny read feels off to me. I'm hesitant to vote please or alley because they're two that I find sketchy every single game but I do see things that make me side eye

 

[alleycat03]

Unyeet MKG

While I am a tad bit annoyed we haven’t heard back from her yet and yeet close is coming up, I want more posts and actually substance from her before we yeet her. I can’t tell what affiliation she is from what she’s given us so far.

 

[Zenge142]

Yeet Vissy

The “mkg read” thing was off, given the lack of content.

 

[alleycat03]

@alleycat03 I'm a bit confused. Are you for or against the mkg yeet?

I changed my mind. I’m backing off to give her more time to respond because I don’t want a misyeet.

 

[alleycat03]

Was it this post?

Probably? I feel like it might have been a longer post but that matches up with what I remember. I appreciate you finding that for me.

 

[alleycat03]

Yeet Vissy

The “mkg read” thing was off, given the lack of content.

I’m not sure I like how fast of a wagon grew on Vis. I’m also suspicious, it just seems a bit yucky that all 3 of her votes have been within 30 minutes.

 

[WildZoo]

You're welcome, I also wanted to find it to look at myself to see if it felt like the same thing. I didn't see longer ones but I also only searched her posts for mentions of your name, didn't look at the full ISO, so might have missed something.

 

[WildZoo]

I'm like 50/50 on correct vs incorrect Vis reads on D1

Maybe worse than that

25/75

Hmmm.

 

[alleycat03]

Yeet barks
Several pings. Looking at her ISO now

 

[Viscernable]

Can you point out what is pinging you in her posts?

Some more subtle prodding at people rather than stating her own feelings, AtE, and more dramatic verbiage. Obviously it’s only based on a few posts on here but rn I have a neutral pile of lowposters and frequent misyeets and a village-lean pile, so that ping’s all I got. I did go through and quote the posts that gave me the impression it’s more in line with wolfy mkg, will try to properly sort and spoiler them.

Its too fast , isnt it?

Unvote AM , Vote Mkg

 

[Viscernable]

Why do you think it feels village as opposed to NAI?

Feels like a more chaotic/experimental/curious/bold Z which I think of as characteristic of early game village Z

She only had like 3 serious posts though? Barely anything of substance

 

[Viscernable]

I'm struggling with how to interpret cubs' reaction to my yeeting him. IME, village!cubs is more reactive and emotional than wolf!cubs, it's part of how I come to reads on him and why I wanted to put pressure here early to see if I could resolve a read on him sooner, but this was much more blasé than I'd expect from either wolf or village. I guess we'll see what happens as we get closer to yeet close.

Tbh I have the opposite feeling about cubs and I think I’m relatively (to how frequently he is misread) ok at reading him, but what we interpret as reactive and emotional may be different

 

[Zenge142]

I’m making a note that, historically wolf!AM tends to push MKG for an easy misyeet.

That being said I don’t feel good about MKG this game, she’s not doing herself any favors.

I’m not feeling bad about AM this game either.

I’m just making a note of the historical pattern. This game is feeling wonky though, and at this point I’m feeling worse about MK than AM, certainly, and I’m not really looking to vote for either today, AM doesn’t feel wolfy, and MK feels like easy misyeet bait, but I didn’t want to not share that thought.

 

[Viscernable]

From the noob game

 

[Zenge142]

Yeet barks
Several pings. Looking at her ISO now

I could see this. I don’t disagree with it. She’s definitely doing that thing where I forget she’s playing.

 

[Viscernable]

I'm impressed yall could get that out of the 2 nonsense posts I posted earlier. interesting.

When there’s multiple players giving <10 posts to work with and I feel okay about the higher posters, what exactly do you want me to base a vote off of? You don’t get a village read by default, you have to prove it.

 

[alleycat03]

Barks ISO:

Scuse!!

Joke response to my salt vote

Yeet cubs

Naked yeet vote

What? Like self prez but with a bounty?

Questioning someone (Dubz?) about self prez using a bounty

So are you leaning toward bounties being negative for the person who placed it?

I don’t remember anything about games I didn’t play. Even if I totted

Another mechanics question. Actually a good though, because I hadn’t thought about bounties being negative for the people who place them.

I do not understand. I’m not getting any chaotic vibes at this time

Slight defense of shorty in response to chaos calling her chaotic

Was she wolf or village in casino?

Asking a question about MKG’s affiliation

What is making you feel best about alley rn? I haven’t seen anything that leans me either way yet

Asks the thread how they’re feeling about me, claims she has me as a neutral read

There was a lot of mechanics talk that felt NAI and there were some joke posts that were also NAI. I usually feel like Alley is sketchy pretty immediately but haven’t felt that yet. I don’t feel inclined to change my vote from Cubs at this time because some of his posts felt odd and I wouldn’t know where to change it to. I don’t really see the mkg yeet right now.

But overall haven’t gotten many feels today

Expands her reads and says that I usually ping her early on (which is fair, I did get misyeeted 2 games in a row this fall on D1) but I am worried because she said that exact same statement as a wolf in WWedding. Can she have the same thought as a villager and as a wolf? Sure. But I’m still not a fan of that similarity. I would also like to see what she says about cubs and what’s bothering her there.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Its too fast , isnt it?

Unvote AM , Vote Mkg

What made you choose mkg out of the other wagons?

 

[alleycat03]

I could see this. I don’t disagree with it. She’s definitely doing that thing where I forget she’s playing.

Definitely. She did this in emojis and in wedding. I remember being suspicious of her early on in WWedding because she would float by, say a few words, and then leave

 

[Zenge142]

Some pings on cubs but I'm still musing over whether a wolfy cubs would have actually not checked into the thread before placing a bounty. Maybe if he thought he could get away with keeping it secret? Idk. Everyone else is meh so far.

I could see him doing it for the WIFOM but overall it feels like a villager “DGAF about optics” move.

Why do you think it feels village as opposed to NAI?

Feels like a more chaotic/experimental/curious/bold Z which I think of as characteristic of early game village Z

Vis this thread and question was about cubs, why did you answer about me?

 

[Viscernable]

Do you think a wolf!Vis would try to push a village!mk 2 games in a row? That's where I'm getting a little hung up.

I think I would for the WIFOM lulz, honestly

 

[Chaostrodon]

It was the mkg wagon that dissolved too fast

I wouldn’t say that I have a village read on cubs, more of a slight village lean and that the way he handled the bounty placement felt more likely to be village than wolf (not distinctly village).
