CHOOSE YOUR OWWN II - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Maybe it's just last game's jester on my mind, but Coop is almost starting to feel too wolfy to be wolf ... or too wolfy to be without a wincon requiring she get yeeted.
idk about relying on this too much, but in a game where you can pick your role it's certainly a possibility
esp between the idk whats happening antics and then the weird (imo) sus with no explanation
 
have coop, cubs, stagg, or wonder put their affiliation claims up yet?
if y'all haven't, why not?

(i know sunny hasn't bc literally just got here)
My affiliation is town from town mason
I mean… it’s certainly an interesting strategy to discard a stronger scum role in the hope that it buys them enough village cred to skate by undetected but it’s legitimately not one I would ever think of.

You can ask Vis and Dubz from reading wolf chat in Baby Animals, my inner wolf meta is 100% panic “we’re all going to die!!!”.

So the idea of intentionally discarding a strong scum role for a weaker one, i.e. jeopardizing your overall chances of success, just to gamble on getting some village cred out of it, is hard for me to fathom.
Interesting, because this seems pretty simple and you’re usually thinking of elaborate 52368 step plans
Also scum
Okay but like you might be 1 for 2 here
 
Here's the current affiliation claims:

shorty: town mason
Cray: town godfather
please: town doctor
Vissy: town conspiracy theorist
sunshine: town mason
alley: vanilla town
Dubz: vanilla town
Stagg: vanilla town
Zenge: town hero
Dina: town persona non grata
Coop: vanilla town
Wonder: ascetic townie
Chaos: town vig
cubs: town lover
Updated with sunny

What a surprise, everyone magically is claiming to be town.
 
village side of neutral;

wolfy side of neutral;
coopah, stagg

undecided: sunny

idk how to interpret stagg's confusion about the role stuff combined with coming on kinda strong w alley stuff imo; and then continuing the conversation about like what chaos meant felt a little like trying to drag out that conversation



yeet stagg

You have Zenge in there twice, is he neutral or village side of neutral?

Actually, you have sunny twice too.

Idk about coop, but I would 100% pick a role that had a wincon of getting voted out. But does that role/a similar role exist in this game?

my mistake
watching greys and taking work calls and trying to talk to tim about dinner doesn't pair well with list making

sunny is neutral bc undecided bc hasn't posted much

z is i guess neutral. idk. i didn't like hopping right onto your vote but nothing else has given me strong feelings so far
 
Ok. I just feel like it would be overall more helpful for village if we talked about some of these things on thread. I know what's pinged you about Chaos given your earlier posts, so what's pinged you about Zenge?

Well, the quick shift to my wagon is one thing, lol. I’m also questioning anyone that was perpetuating the role pick talk significantly as I think it’s way too low yield to have put this much time into it thus far.

I really want to vote Coop, but with that option tabled, I'm side eyeing other people who don't seem to want to engage in discussion about reads/the game.

Vote Stagg

So a pressure vote? I mean, I just got home 15 minutes ago. Sorry, I don’t play when I’m seeing patients…

I can get behind this. I feel good about you and Alley at least and I can’t really understand him pushing me and Chaos. Me because I obviously know, but Chaos because it’s the most village I’ve ever felt about Chaos.

Yeet Stagg

I’ve never played with chaos, why would I assume this is village play for him when the entire convo for the first 5 pages was basically WIFOM?
 
Yeah I strongly dislike PMs. and actually now that I think of it we wouldn’t even both have been guaranteed to be town with this game setup, which is honestly the main benefit of being masons.
This is exactly why I used it for aff and not for ability.

Can you expand on why you’re wolf reading him?

No, I wouldn't agree that it's a pressure vote. When I've pressure voted people in the past, it's been because they're not participating at all. I felt like you were giving me answers that were kind of avoiding discussion and wishy-washy, particularly in this exchange:

Do you have any overall vibes you could share, even if you don't feel like you have any strong wolf leans?
I’ve got plenty of “if this, then that” thoughts, but nothing worth dropping a vote on. I want to look at Chaos and Zenge more as well as how the wagon built. It seems kind of opportunistic.
What about discussing it, though?
I just feel like I'm struggling with coming to reads on people because it seems like very few people want to talk about any feelings they're getting from the current game state.
Well, like I said I want to look into chaos and Zenge more, and pretty much everyone because no one is really reading more than slight village lean to me.

I didn't realize you were still with patients though.

So why was he village side of neutral at some point? And why are alley and wondering village side of neutral?

I mean, if I’m actively “avoiding” questions it’s either due to work or my kid. It’s also totally NAI for me if you think metas are worth anything.

I’m going to tell you that your vote is a pretty bad one and that you may want to move it…
 
Of course not, I just said I wasn’t…

I also explained earlier that I felt better about Cray. Are you intentionally skipping my posts?
No, I’m trying to understand you sitting on a vote you apparently don’t believe in.

i liked his overall tone
Oof, I'm not going to tell you how to do your reads, but that's become a VERY risky way to try to read Zenge. It's part of why I won't move him out of neutrals on D1 unless I'm moving him down to wolf.

I don't like to yeet him D1 because he says sketchy stuff as any affiliation and when he's village (and not tunneling AM), he's really useful with good reads, but he's gotten very good at replicating his village tone when he's wolfing.

yeet stagg

for now
alley, chaos, and dina are all village leans purely from tone and what i know them to normally sound like in village
you seem to be really driving conversation and trying to find wolves
i like how active visc is and the overall tone, as well as seeming provillage in their interactions w chaos

cray i generally can't make a solid call on too early. nothing to ping in either direction
im still very much learning how to read cubs, so i wanna wait more before i form more of an opinion
dubz i can never read lol. hopefully i'll be able to say more about this one in a day or so
sunny is now pinging me a little more village but i need to see interactions w everyone before i move into village lean
zenge i didn't like following you onto a vote, some overall village tones but nothing to strong, paired with i know he is very good at wolfing. I'm gonna need to take closer looks at how he pushes people over the next couple of days to form an opinion here

coopah i didn't like the overall feeling from yesterday of not understanding how it worked. like i understand not understanding bc i was hella confused too but it was the extreme to which coopah made it a point for everyone to know that there wasn't an understanding.
stagg explained above

stagg explained above

You should probably reassess these, and your vote…
 
**** what did I just walk into
Wonder role revealed as town JOAT
I tried to get Stagg to engage in conversation about reads/the game state and was kind of stonewalled/given weak answers, which made me move my vote there.
Zenge then immediately followed me onto Stagg, which was weird
sunny's here

I think that's a small summary.
