[cubsrule4e]

i love that you didn't dispute that you randed wolf

I was actually about to type, youre like 2nd behind me in wolf rand % anyway, so its like not anything is really changing for you!

 

[supershorty]

Has he played since Olympics? That’s the last game I remember playing with him

I'm not sure, tbh. I haven't played with him in ages.

 

[supershorty]

Yeet cubs

for now. Got some tingly feels.

 

[WildZoo]

Olympics is also the last game I remember playing with him, which is why I chose him for bounty experimentation lol

 

[WildZoo]

Wait there was also ???/Clue now that I think about it

 

[cubsrule4e]

Yeet cubs

for now. Got some tingly feels.

I can be the first yeet guinea pig, its all good. But im gonna keep my bounty out. Whats the fun in just straight yeeting?

 

[alleycat03]

I should probably be over my Olympics salt by now, but I’m not. Chaos’ bus still haunts me to this day

 

[supershorty]

Wait there was also ???/Clue now that I think about it

Oh right. He was yeeted D1 IIRC. And was a wolf.

 

[cubsrule4e]

Or I could move it to someone if people dont want Chaos to die first. But we dont even know what it does or how it contributes to anything yet.

 

[kaydubs]

I don't know why my brain interpreted the "you may do one or the other but not both" as once you either voted or put a bounty on someone, you were locked into that method for the day, but it did.

Hmmmm that was what I meant but let’s see what happens!

 

[supershorty]

Hmmmm that was what I meant but let’s see what happens!

KD WE MINDMELDED LIKE DINA AND I DO

 

[WildZoo]

This post will haunt me forever

Wtf , Dubz. I trusted you

 

[cubsrule4e]

Oh, see my brain read it as you can do one or the other, not both, but could change as you wish. It didnt say anything about a choice being locked in.

 

[WildZoo]

Anyway, he also played Donuts.

Oh right. He was yeeted D1 IIRC. And was a wolf.

Yeah, I led that vote but apparently it's still overcome by Olympics salt

 

[WildZoo]

Hmmmm that was what I meant but let’s see what happens!

Wait so I'm stuck bountying? It's fine if so, I just want to be sure

 

[supershorty]

Ok well apparently I don't remember rosters as well for games I didn't play. I can accept this fact about myself.

 

[WildZoo]

That seems perfectly reasonable given I don't remember rosters for games I did play

 

[kaydubs]

he played MHA/Plus Ultra and ???/Clue

 

[kaydubs]

Wait so I'm stuck bountying? It's fine if so, I just want to be sure

Theoretically, yes. I can reword the rule if sdn allows it

[WildZoo]

My d1 votes suck anyway so this is fine

 

[supershorty]

Honestly, when I saw you claim it, I wondered if you'd done it to avoid having a D1 vote

 

[alleycat03]

Ok well apparently I don't remember rosters as well for games I didn't play. I can accept this fact about myself.

I barely remember rosters for the games I actually played, so you’re doing better than me

Though I didn’t play any of the games chaos was in since Olympics so no wonder I still feel salty towards him

Oof. Well. I guess we can still consensus on a bounty as well as a yeet. If thats even how its supposed to work.

Edit: That was a large IF not supposed to imply stressed importance

 

[alleycat03]

That seems perfectly reasonable given I don't remember rosters for games I did play

Samesies!

 

[alleycat03]

I can still change my vote though? That’s how I interpreted it? But I can’t place a bounty.

 

[WildZoo]

Am I stuck bountying for the rest of the game?

 

[cubsrule4e]

Am I stuck bountying for the rest of the game?

Spoiler: What if the bountiers bounty each other??

Correct.

Am I stuck bountying for the rest of the game?

That sounds like a “you” decision 😬

 

[cubsrule4e]

You can't bounty me, I have immunity!!

Youre an unyeetable wolf, not an invincible bountyman silly.... unless immunity means unyeetability in the subconscious of your post. 🤔

 

[Barkley13]

I’m not inclined to put a bounty on someone since presumably if you put a bounty on someone and they get taken out, you have to pay people the reward money. That’s how bounties work.

And if I was so inclined I’d put it on MKG, who currently has the most votes.

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

Ok well apparently I don't remember rosters as well for games I didn't play. I can accept this fact about myself.

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

 

[kaydubs]

My memory of games I’ve modded is quite variable. More comodding than solo but the memory is the first thing to go!

 

[Zenge142]

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

It’s a possibility that crossed my mind. I wouldn’t say I’m leaning that way though.

 

[WildZoo]

Yes

 

[Viscernable]

I always thought bounty hunters killed their targets.... oh

The bounty != the bounty hunter, the bounty is the reward for bringing in or killing the subject. So the mechanic being called a bounty implies it doesn’t do anything directly, but gives some reward to those voting someone out (or maybe ot sticks for the night cycle and only or also gives a reward for NKs?)

 

[Viscernable]

Wasn't me. Zenge is pinging me and my gut wants to vote there, but Zenge is always on my Do Not Vote D1 list and I'm trying to decide if I think he's pinging me the way he does when he's village.

Which posts?

 

[supershorty]

Which posts?

I didn't care for his discussion with Midwife with the hypothetical where 2 people are exactly the same read and one has a bounty, one doesn't, where do you vote.

I understand what he was getting at, but it's kind of a nonsensical situation. You almost never have 2 people who are EXACTLY the same, even if you're categorizing them in the same spot on a reads list. And him just blindly voting on someone with a bounty on them to see what it does didn't sit right with me. But it's the kind of thing that village!Zenge would do and it would trigger the crap out of me, so...

 

[Zenge142]

but it's kind of a nonsensical situation.

It’s not nonsensical. I’ve seen it happen dozens of times where players can’t decide where to vote, or where they’re happy to vote for either of two possibilities.

It happens with some regularity as a matter of fact.

Have you ever seen AM in that situation?

 

[Zenge142]

Have you ever seen AM in that situation?

Sure. CYO-II, RvB both come to mind

 

[supershorty]

Sure. CYO-II, RvB both come to mind

AM didn't play CYO II. Try again.

 

[Zenge142]

AM didn't play CYO II. Try again.

I guess I meant FTFs other game. They blend together

 

[alleycat03]

Worst idea ever?

 

[Zenge142]

Worst idea ever?

Yeah. Which might have also been named countdown 3.0 (or 2.5???)?

It’s an irrelevant discussion, on the whole. I really don’t understand shorty’s line of questioning here.

I was trying to ask AM - All things being equal, will she go onto a bounty vote or avoid it?

Since we don’t know what happens, she could want to discover how the mechanics work, or she could chose to sit by the sidelines and play it safe.

I don't understand why you're acting like her answer of she'll vote where she thinks is wolfiest is something strange or avoidant. This isn't like your game where there was a clear potential advantage to putting money on a wagon you didn't necessarily believe in.

You haven't pinged me this hard in a long time and I'm not sure how to interpret it at this point.

It’s a pretty basic question. I don’t think it’s strange for AM to have answered the way she did, that’s very in character for her play style. But it would have been nice to have a greater depth of discussion on the matter.

I’m not sure why you’re so fixated on my asking her for her thoughts.

 

[kaydubs]

Oh good, it’s not a dumpster fire over here.
