I’m in the middle of dinner, haven’t read the thread since yesterday, see I’m in the lead.

If it at all helps, I’m village. My affiliation card was ascetic Townie. Ok back to dinner with irl friends.

 

[supershorty]

Here's the current affiliation claims:

shorty: town mason
Cray: town godfather
please: town doctor
Vissy: town conspiracy theorist
sunshine: _______
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 Wonder

 

[Dinashadow]

It was just unexpected.

Who did you expect me to vote for

Do you not agree with myself and Stagg that the way he has presented all of this role vs alignment vs ability vs affiliation is not confusing? Or couldnt be for someone who is new or has never played with them like myself?

I was confused about it at the beginning too, but chaos' later explanation to me made sense. I've played with chaos before, but he played a little more passively in those games than what he's done so far.

To me, it felt like it came from experience with CYO and less as a 'bold wolf' move, but tbf I have no idea how he wolves. However, I didn't feel like he was being intentionally misleading at any point

Hmmm I don't like 2 of my scum leans being on the same vote I am.

I think it’s pretty irrelevant in a multiball game set up like this.

 

[supershorty]

I know. It's why I was willing to get on a vote that Dubz was on in the first place. But I still don't like it lol

 

[Dinashadow]

The wonder vote still feels weird to me. I guess I'm basing my read on her on my experience I had when she wolfed in the HP speed game, which is probably not the best thing to go off of, but her posts are very different in that game compared to this game.

 

[Stagg737]

Bit busy but popping in to say that if y'all pile on my d1 vote and it ends up killing a villager again, you have no one to blame but yourselves

No, no. I can always blame you

i get joking w friends bc i do it all the time but like a whole vote feels extreme but i could just be on edge

One. Whole. Vote. Extreeeeeeeeeme!

 

[Stagg737]

Well to be fair, when he says don't tell us your role, only affiliation, it still makes sense with defining role = aff + ability. He's saying don't give us the whole thing, both pieces. He's effectively saying don't reveal your ability which would give away your role.

Right, but I didn't understand that was what he meant at the time. He seemed to be using "ability" and "role" interchangeably. I was already confused about how roles were chosen, so the different language was just even more confusing.

 

[Zenge142]

Who did you expect me to vote for

I didn’t have expectations per se, but you were the first on Cubs without a lot of thread momentum towards it, so I was just surprised to see it when I did.

Why would you expect a lot of thread momentum for the first vote on someone?

@Coopah why are you voting Wonder?

I can always jump on that wagon if you want to make it 3 😀

What was she like as a wolf?

 

[Zenge142]

I just expected more than there was, but I guess momentum in that sense is incredibly subjective.

The vote doesn’t feel quite right to me either. Maybe just my instinctive dread over D1 votes (I don’t think I’ve been in a game we correctly yeeted D1? Maybe one game?), admittedly. But I don’t agree with the feeling that her analysis was insincere because she wasn’t considering the way we chose roles. Her posts pinged me a little but not enough to yeet her. And I have… misgivings about following Dubz and shorty’s D1 vote 😉

 

[supershorty]

@vetschoolsletmeinplease @WonderingStudent @sunshinefl I know sunny was getting caught up on the thread, y'all have any thoughts?

 

[supershorty]

And I have… misgivings about following Dubz and shorty’s D1 vote 😉

Wise given that my D1 reads usually suck and nearly always end with me wolf-reading April.
I just realized that I think this is the first non-speed game I've played without her...

You have played a game where we had a successful scum yeet D1, it's just that you were scum 😆

 

[Dinashadow]

What was she like as a wolf?

More under the radar - not like this game where she immediately came out with analysis on discarded roles. There have been some interesting points brought up regarding her and I would like to see her respond to those before I decide for sure

 

[vetschoolsletmeinplease]

@vetschoolsletmeinplease @WonderingStudent @sunshinefl I know sunny was getting caught up on the thread, y'all have any thoughts?

im largely at a loss for what to think so far. nearly everyone is in neutral with a few village leans, so far i feel worst about coopah for similar reasons you do

wondering is a slight wolf lean for me bc to me there seems to be like a confliction of understanding and not understanding how this worked (but i think i got coopah and wondering conflated early on so i need to go back through and see if thats true)

so i have literally no clue who to vote so far.

That's not my memory of how she played as a wolf in a full game (Thankful) I wouldn't make comparisons to speed game meta, personally

 

[supershorty]

I only have one game to base this on, but my recollection of YOUR speed meta is you forget to vote

 

[Coopah]

Unyeet wonder

Nah that game was a special case. I only forget to vote if I sub in 😉

addendum; i looked back and it was misremembering and conflation. wondering still isnt a village lean but it does leave me with my only lean being coopah.

i don't super understand the wonder sus then. i need to look back at those posts- brain foggy today:/

 

[supershorty]

@Stagg737 how have Cray's posts today affected your read of her?

 

[Stagg737]

@Stagg737 how have Cray's posts today affected your read of her?

Not much since I suck at reading her like I said last game. Feeling a bit better but don’t have any real wolf leans right now. I think there will be some good info buried in the mountains of D1 fluff, but won’t have time to dig through it before close.

Do you have any overall vibes you could share, even if you don't feel like you have any strong wolf leans?

 

[WonderingStudent]

Might not be able to get back in time before yeet close. Of course the first day cycle I’m working and then D2 I’m off My role is Jack of all trades villager. There’s only 1card for my role and affiliation card in the game so if anyone wants to fight me on it be my guest

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.

 

[supershorty]

Unvote Wonder

I'm second guessing my read with her role reveal.

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.

 

[sunshinefl]

So far since it’s getting late...

Apparently not alley. So there's one of her possible 3 chances at town gone.

Lmao

And there’s nothing that jumps out at me as a reason for us not to reveal the role we took alignment from, so mine was town conspiracy theorist

And what exactly would scum!Chaos do with alignment info?

I don’t know but maybe it could benefit different scum factions to know about others vs being town? I don’t know how those win conditions work with mafia, aliens, and wolves. But also no one is going to scum alignment claim so I kinda don’t think it’s really useful.

Idk if I agree with this, at least with Chaos and Please.

Strongman and Ninja are very powerful roles for a scum faction to have.

Could they have gotten something even better? Sure it’s possible. It just seems more likely that they’d pick village roles than they got even better scum roles.

Especially when you break down the dual selection consideration.
Assuming they picked scum, then their other two roles would have to include a PR that’s even better for scum than these, and include another scum affiliation for the affiliation choice.

Seems like a lot to bank on when the more likely answer is just that they picked village roles.

They could pick softer abilities simply for the fact that they think it “clears” them. Like right here in your post. Now I’m kinda side eyeing you for not seeing that.

Or because they only had town roles to pick from. Just as youre pointing out some people may have only had scum to pick from. I dont remember this much emphasis being placed on discard roles so soon in the game in CYO I. Seems strange that the first thing Chaos wants to do is start revealing.

Chaos brings in a whole different play style from other forums. He often says weird stuff lol

I discarded this one in the first roll that didn’t end up going through. If I recall it had the added downside of being seered as alien yourself.

Yeah I didn’t think it was great because
1. I would get seered as alien myself
2. I didn’t know if we would even end up with an alien in the game, and if we did, what were the chances I happened to pick that person to seer?

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?

 

[Coopah]

Vote sunshine

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.

Again, why?

So are you condemner with sunny as a target or did you actually conveniently find a woof in their first post immediately after getting heat for having no wolf reads or …

 

[supershorty]

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

 

[Viscernable]

Also scum

This read is more interesting to me. Can you elaborate?

 

[Zenge142]

Vote Stagg

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

 

[supershorty]

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.
