This is impressive, Rae!! I promise you though, you are all gonna be really sad when I flip vanillager and there’s still a wolf in your midst. I’m still suspicious of you, btw.I know Indy.
Okay, I'm either about to make myself look like a genius and reinforce my self-perceived ability to read people like a book or I'm going to look like a complete idiot and be suspish. Either way,
without further ado, I submit:
Indy is a Wolf: A Literature Review (with overarching evidence vs specific posts because how are there 40 pages on this thread)
by _rae_, UMN Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine Candidate, Class of 2028
Now, as Indy has said, I do - of this group - know them best and I think that has given me an advantage. Their floundering is not just noob-ness, though that is a convenient excuse. Indy is the kind of person with big thoughts and feelings and a usual willingness to share them with others, if they perceive those others to be like minded. The lack of reads is not just noob-ish, it's strategic, as they need to come up with a really good reason to fake read a wolf. Some of that could potentially be intimidation by the fact that y'all are so comfortable with each other that trying to call any out may be seen as an offense to some others, but I'm leaning more toward they've been told to stay quiet and in the shadows by the wolfator or whatever we call them.
We've analyzed the flip-flop on JJJ. I could be convinced either way that it's wolfy or just a noob mistake. I think the difference between me with fruit and Indy with JJJ is I never changed my overall read of fruit. They have always been in my suspicion circle.
Indy also voted for me last night instead of clem, despite me being a strong village read this whole time and most of the village "leaders" of the thread suggesting a vote for clem made the most sense. I do think some of this is in retaliation to my suspicions/me being seen as a potential threat to them. I am not overanalyzing PSVs vote for me (yet), because it seemed a true attempt to start conversation and keep the hammer from dropping to keep the thread open.
Basically, my impression of Indy is that they're smart and analytical, much more like me than not. The cover of noob protects them and allows them to make wolfy mistakes and just Betty Boop "oops" it with minimal consequences. Most of their engagement has been around vote times and mostly in the form of memes and almost over done despair that they're a suspect. The fact that they have engaged primarily in defense tells me they're not trying to analyze village because they don't need to, they're a wolf. I think they're smart to play dumb, it's a good cover, but I read it as a nefarious cover.
I entertain questions and encourage peer review.
Everyone else, you’re wasting time.
@JaggedJimmyJay I have done very little reading today and I'm still at work so this hasn't changed much. The only change is that PSV felt a bit better in the few posts I saw. Possibly same for DVMD. I feel like I have seen so little of SAR that I can't say I have any reason to take her off the list. So gun to head, probably Indy, Fruit, and SAR. Happy for input especially from people who are more UTD on the thread than me
I think those are three good choices. I’d also consider genny.
Which would you switch out to put genny in?
Probably SAR
Honestly I don’t know anyone, and I’ve been just trying to get a feel for everyone’s game style. It’s also honestly very hard to keep up and I initially played the way that I have played this type of game in person.
So, alas, I can’t give you much besides “vibes,” though I have offered some opinions on a few people, probably not great takes though.
I’m just here for a good time not a long time at this point. I do think that those putting a lot of energy into me - fruit, Rae, JJJ - are VERY likely to have real benefit of killing a villager and distracting everyone for so long.
Please no.
I really think both Indy and SAR are village, and Fruit is the least wolfy of my wolf reads. This could very well be a day of 3 villagers again.
I’d like to remind you SAR broke the tie against Stagg.
I really think Indy is village. I’ll
on this hill.
I will continue to award zero (0) points to SAR for voting Stagg or breaking a tie.
I’m not married to Indy being mafia. There is some flavor of “newcomer feeling like they’re being taken advantage of” in their defenses, which would be townish.

@Zenge142 why PSV
Finally some takes I can 100% support, including adorable Egg-Kirby.Please no.

All due respect to the gang, but SAR is the one soul town read I will absolutely not be following.
In the practice game she was in my POE, and I didn’t care about her vote for a wolf (genny). I deferred to others who had the town soul read and fell too hard for a bus vote, and it burned all of us. That’s not happening twice.
SAR can certainly be town, but I’m either going to need a better reason or to find her myself. Otherwise she is staying in my shortlist of candidates (not necessarily my “three”).

All due respect to you, I wasn't playing that game, and no one else actually has a SAR soul read
You are free to find her yourself and I encourage it, I'm just also not gonna not saying anything when I see village SAR, because village SAR is a fairly easy misyeet
By all means, please say things! Just making it clear right away why I won’t listen lolAll due respect to you, I wasn't playing that game, and no one else actually has a SAR soul read

Another contributing factor to my Zengefoil:
Some of his suspicions seem independent from a developing thread (i.e., impervious to updating). I definitely felt that in his April read and maybe his PSV read too.

It's Thursday now so she can't make that complaint anymore hmmyes
Genny, PSV, and probably fruit but I feel worse about the first two
It’s my read. Indy just sounds like a stereotypical sketchy noob. Easy misyeet bait.
Process of elimination, based on who else I feel more strongly about being village.
The thread is being absurd about PSV.
Thread: PSV is kinda sketchy
PSV: Steps up her game to help get more broadly town read.
Thread: Ope, I guess PSV is village now.
As if she’s “outside of her wolf range”, or incapable of sensing her position within the thread and switching up her game a little bit. Please.
What specifically has PSV done to move her above other people? Posted some words on the thread after getting wolf read?
Okay well, I’m not sold. I have too many people who I’m reading village more strongly to say she’s not towards the bottom of my list, based on process of elimination.

April still feels the least village of the 3 options
You definitely don’t have to be sold. I get that. I may even agree if I change my mind about Indy.
This argument requires you to assume the conclusion before formulating the premises though. You’ve essentially said she’s a wolf because she received bad town reads.
She gets this every game lately. Her “wolf range” is kind of irrelevant to me. If that’s applied to every game, she’s never going to be a villager again. She plays at different energy levels and should be assessed with multiple metas.

Wait what did I do
Regarding April, would you rather we yeet you, or Dubz today?
Because there’s no other option here so it doesn’t matter. I laid out why I had my suspicions, and point blank said I didn’t want to explore that, since my village reads disagreed with me, and so I wanted to give April time.
Clem didn’t give us that option. Unless you think we should vote you or Dubz.
Regarding PSV, see above.

I’m not talking about today. I’m talking about your handling of April on Day 2. I think she made some very towny posts, and you didn’t do anything with those.
I’m saying she is a wolf because based on the roster, I have strong town leans on everyone else.
Process of elimination, she’s one of the few names left.
I think the wolves are in genny, PSV, fruit, and April.
With genny and PSV being both easy to pair in my opinion, and also easy to pair with Stagg.
Everyone else I have pretty solid village reads on. If I’m right on those, then they’re the only ones left.
In that sense we’re not far apart.
Day 2 I laid out how I felt about Day 1, and needed to generally see more.
Then we got to Day 3 where it’s irrelevant.
What exactly did you want me specifically to do on Day 2 other than read her posts and evaluate? Because that’s what I did.
It seems like you’re demanding I should have done a complete 180 on my April read, based solely on her posts, instead of taking time to evaluate like I said I was going to.
What is this argument Jay?
Did you want me to make a collage? Use them in a roadside billboard ad campaign? Subway graffiti?
I’m not demanding a 180. I’m just asking that you say something about what April did on Day 2 and draw some conclusion.
You said you were concerned about a Stagg distance.
You said you’d wait given that others town reads April.
You didn’t say much at all about April’s actual Day 2 contributions.
Alright, so I went back through April's posts and at the risk of seeming bandwagony/wishy washy, I rescind my wolf statement. I think some of my wolf read is coming from the fact that she seems to be cherry picking her responses, but I know keeping up with this thread has been a nightmare and I'm not willing to lock in on something easily explainable. I still think my general read of the three today is dubz>JJJ/April.
I need to reevaluate some things.
Use your words.
Thanks for following up.
There wasn’t much to say honestly.
She posted. I read the posts. I had no meaningful commentary regarding them.
I need time to ruminate.
Wow. Not even a laugh react. smh.
The thought of randomly taking Aprils posts and making a roadside series of billboards with them is worth a chuckle at least. smh smh
You do that.
Zenge is friend. Just sometimes a little sneaky. One must apply the magnifying glass.
I haven’t had a wolf win since 93’!!!
Or at least it feel like I haven’t had a wolf win since 93’…

Interpretive dance or nothing.
I think I’m okay with any three names in:
Indy, SAR, genny, fruitsalad, and PSV
