After there has been extensive discussion about the candidates and by the candidates, and we're at a discussion standstill

So like, not without warning in the middle of the first day. That's a wolf move.

I’m going to disagree. I think there was plenty of discussion prior to the shot, and the timing allowed for plenty of discussion afterwards. Which seems village to me.
 
sunshinefl said:
So was Pippy joking about cheezit copping to the shot in PM? Or serious? And why has everyone been ignoring that? Is that their normal banter?
Click to expand...
I was serious; the way he worded the comment sounded like he was butthurt about you questioning him about it. Because why act super defensive in response to criticism of someone else's decision?
 
Crayola227 said:
on this note, Pippy keeps saying I was AM top wolf read, and I actually wasn't quite getting that from AM, and that's really saying something given how defensive I can get. It's starting to feel like Pippy is also trying to manufacture shade on AM by twisting things. The twisting is classssssssic wolf stuff

AM said you were her top wolf read.

Read the thread, please.

wiat, so your wolf pack rn is AM, me, and April? What about Barks? Those 4?
Click to expand...
You should stop asking me questions. You're not even fully answering/reading the posts I point out to you.
 
PippyPony said:
If I was a wolf, I'd keep my mouth shut about any village power roles and just murder them in the dark.

I thought that shot yesterday was hella wolfy in its timing, and part of being a villager is to share information about wolfy activities and communications.
Click to expand...
eh, I'm trying to remember when, but we've definitely had the discussion (was it colorado? someone was a seer, and then the seer died, and the PM partner came under heat, and I'm pretty sure it might have included Mel and you?) that the PM partner of a dead flipped PR always comes under suspicion for being a wolf unless they can show that someone else could have known somehow, or it was possible to glean from the thread. Just another reason why outing PRs on the thread is a move you have to be very careful about doing as a villager, because it can it look wolfy af.

IIRC, the PM partner did leak it to the thread so that they could try to claim plausible deniability for the death, but it did end up being they were a wolf and responsible.

So I don't buy that you would just murder him in the dark silently and then take the heat from AM (also his PM partner and someone he might have confided in that he confided in you, for insurance) that you were behind it. But now you've implicated more than just yourself or AM for his NK for being vig, if that's what the wolves do.
 
sunshinefl said:
no I have not played as a wolf. It’s only my 2nd game. But maybe the fact that a village poll would agree that the vig has to be pro-village, makes hiding in plain sight easier for anti-village. Even if they get outed as the vig somehow, they could be “soft confirmed” falsely.


What does pocketing mean?
Also what is NAI?
(I’ll look back for the term guide Maybe these are there but I’m checking in, in the middle of my ED shift.) UPDATE: I READ THE TERMS.

but if pocketing means getting me to vouch for her or whatever, I’m not. I have a village lean in her, zero inside info, and maybe 2 PMs where she told me not to be discouraged from WW due to vet sass basically.
Click to expand...
to be clear, while we are currently considering this a village vig kill, ANY PLAYER with kill powers is under heavy, heavy suspicion. There is no "hiding in plain sight" as a vig and being "soft-confirmed." Unless they shoot a wolf or otherwise appear above reproach, and even then, they're going to have a hard time making it end game, which having at least one wolf at endgame is the whole the win-con for the pack. I don't see how they won't end up being safety-yeeted before endgame. I see your logic, but it just wouldn't work.

It doesn't matter that much for what my point was, if Cyndia pocketed you or not, it's assessing whether or not she attempted to that matters most. Pocketing isn't just about getting a vouch, although that could be one result. Getting someone to mistake you for village, not vote you, and tell everyone you think they're village, is enough. It's only pocketing if they're a wolf. If they really are village then it's fine.
 
Animal Midwife said:
Do you have an updated readslist @Crayola227? I much prefer these types of posts you're doing this morning than the ones from yesterday, even if your opinion on vigs is faulty.
Click to expand...
lol no it's not. If the vig is right it's good for village, if they're wrong then it's not. The end.

I will try to come up with a reads list, but not before bed. It will require me re-reading all my posts today to try to determine where I landed ultimately on people. I've got you as village, Pippy as wolf, Mel as 50/50, April I had moved village but Cyndia did a much better job articulating what she was doing earlier that was wolfy that I found wolfy when I voted her. I need to reassess the validity of that opinion then with where I moved to thinking she was more village later today. Dubz seems villagey to me, but I have to say that concerns me. Alissa and Barks I am torn on, partly because I don't trust myself to be impartial given their early defense of me, but I can appreciate what people are finding wolfy. SAR seems wolfy to me, but maybe it's because of the mild nature of her posts that I'm not ready to vote there. Those are my feelings, and maybe I need to be more clear that for me figuring out who I want to vote or who I suspect relies heavily on me sorting out my feelings about players from their feelings about me, and from logic.

You can PM me too, ya know. Happy to chat...
Click to expand...
I was trying to sus out if samac was a wolf based on what she had to say about your PM, in the case that you flipped villager. That's why I asked her.

I always open PMs especially when it's incumbent upon me for it to exist, in case someone wants to talk, but I don't usually do much by PM unless the other person initiates. Laziness, paranoia for the most part. I'm otherwise happy to chat too.

Telling me I'm not worth replying to... just sounds like you want to shut down communication. Because I'm not seeing where I didn't respond to you or what you have quoted. It seems like you want me to be super impressed with the fact that I called out Dubz early for something, which in context is different than what I did later, that you find "hypocritical" of me, and that's about it.

I'm still trying to understand your proposed wolf pack dynamics. Especially April/me/AM.
 
Night 1

tumblr_nik9g0Uj021rvvlogo1_500.gifv


After the outcome of yesterday's discussion, the players were quick to set up makeshift tents among the city's rubble, wanting to put the events behind them. Some stayed close to their newly made friends while others kept to themselves.

As darkness fell, several figures dashed about. Someone thought they heard hoofbeats.

Morning dawned bleakly. Punctuated with screams.

AM rushed to Amanasoul's side. Upon seeing a savage sight, she turned her face away.

Cray's body was surrounded by barely dried blood. Her throat had been slashed to ribbons.

Dead is @Crayola227 , Bellamy Blake from The 100 who was a village healer, able to save a player from a wolf attack.

Not far from the body, a pile of ash remained. A red horse was nosing around for food nearby. AM squinted, the ash looked different from those produced by the lightning strikes yesterday.

Dead is @BigCats , War, one of the Four Horsemen who was a WOLF blocker, able to prevent a player from acting.

Another scream split the air.

Lightning struck yet again, taking two more from their midst.

Mod-killed is @mmmdreamerz , Wall-E who was a village mirror, capable of reflecting actions back on their senders.

Also dead from mod-kill is @Matthew9Thirtyfive , Lenina Crowne from Brave New World, a vanillager.

Oooof well apparently I can’t sleep more than 8 hours without having 15 pages of content to catch up on ahhhhh, so while I was catching up I quoted some things... hopefully I remember why I quoted everything that I did lol.
BigCats said:
Player with like 4 posts on thread (and mostly fluff) asks you in their first PM message if you have anything to share you don't want to share on thread... sorry, but that's opportunistic noob wolf sniffing for PRs to me
Click to expand...
This made me think a little, is it really all that uncommon to ask a question like this? I tend to try to initiate conversation about the game and things along those lines. It could be to help the village or to wolf sniff, but that’s why you have to be especially careful with what you share and what you ask.
Cyndia said:
So be better in the future, because if this isn't a 3p vig, you're only actively harming the village when you make impulsive choices.
Click to expand...
I think the sudden killing of Kras was not the smartest move if it was a vig kill, I think they should have waited a little longer to see how things played out through the rest of the day cycle, since there was still good conversation going on surrounding Kras.
PippyPony said:
Is she voting for her wolf reads? No.
Is she trying to uncover breaks in logic? No.
Is she asking probing questions? No.
Is she posting more about this game than about previous games? No.
Is she attempting to form a village block? No.
Is she analyzing vote patterns? No.

Are you defending everything she's doing? Yes, which is going to be real interesting to break down later if she is turns out to be a wolf.
Click to expand...
Hmmm, posssible slight wolf lean on AM... still slight village lean on pippy

Genny and Wildzoo are weirdly protective of AM

This is definitely something to keep an eye on...

Omg, 5 more pages to read and I have no idea what’s going on.
Click to expand...
This was me this morning with 10+ pages to read, I didn’t know things were gonna be this crazy right off the bat!
sunshinefl said:
I am suspicious of how quiet M935 is being. That’s highly unusual
Click to expand...
Yes, this is becoming more and more sus to me
Melchizedek said:
You don't know if they are just struggling to find relevant things to talk about. They might have more to contribute later when they get night results or don't have to read so many pages.
Click to expand...
I was struggling yesterday to keep up with the pace of the game, hopefully today with a more solid understanding of what to expect I will be able to contribute more.
alleycat03 said:
Every time I feel like I have a read on someone, they say something else that totally contradicts.

Yes, I am also finding this to be a challenge
Animal Midwife said:
kras is no longer confirmed, but you can still judge her on her actions and decide whether you think she's still village.
Click to expand...
So Kras could have flipped wolf or 3p? We will have to watch kras’s game play more closely now.
sunshinefl said:
maybe M935? he's being uncharacteristically quiet.
Click to expand...
YES. This. I am eating my words from yesterday about aligning with my PM partners, I am slowly becoming more sus of M935, they were extremely active in the noob game, and were village, I am thinking more of a wolf lean now
Aprilthearab said:
know some people might hate me for this but thank god this is a 36/12 cycle. If I had to make up my mind on someone every single day while staying up late and waking up early to attempt to keep up, I'd lose it.
Click to expand...
Yeah, the 36 hour days really helps me, it allows me more time to process what’s going on in the thread
Aprilthearab said:
I'd love to know why. After hearing more from Cray, I'm thinking my initial suspicion of her coming in swinging on D1 was not really based on her content but rather my surprise to her activity, and right now I don't have a reason to sus cray.
Click to expand...
I agree, with April, I am inclined to think Cray is village and since April is coming to the strong defense of Cray, I am getting a village read on April

For now,
Contingency yeet M935

Will be back in a few hours
 
Was there a mod-kill from not meeting post minimums? Or can they be mod-killed for other reasons?
 
I feel like I can move Dubz way more village after that -- I don't think she'd sit on a vote for a fellow wolf in early game when that player spot (back when it was Stagg) was getting positive defense from a villager.

Makes me feel better about AM, too, tbh, although she did move her vote.

You asked for my reads a handful of times after I'd already quoted a post from me with my reads list in it.
You have twice quoted that post where I called you a hypocrite, and you didn't address my questions about your M99 read

please
please
please
stop your pbp, its super taxing to read and its very clearly not helpful if you're not even reading the full post and just gut reacting to one or two things in a post.



It was a joke. Punctuated by the 😉 idk how else to designate to you. You've done this for multiple obvious joke posts. I don't like you just spewing whatever. At worst you're trying to appear helpful while just cluttering up the thread, at worst you're a giant egg to crack. I gave you a hiatus pass D1, I'm okay with having you voted off D2.

welp I got ninja'd by the write-up
Egg cracked.
I feel slightly better about barks.
 
Also going to move Cyndia strong village because I don't think she would participate in a discussion with me about my POE for today and then narrow it for me by killing Cray.

April's & Sloth's comments read villagey in retrospect
 
So 3M was probably smitten because of post count but M935 was active early on?

I wonder if mod kills will also be a regular thing given the apocalypse theme. They reiterated time is of the essence with exclamation marks and underlines.

Mod kills are outside of any game mechanics. Don't bother speculating on this. Check VCA and posts instead.
 
I’m able to keep up with the thread somewhat, but I’m on my phone so I can’t update my game notes on my computer. That was a huge write up to digest and analyze.

I don't think mod kills should be factored into game play. Mod kills are mod kills, they're a circumstantial management thing that mods do outside of the in-game "world". Players get killed for not following stated rules or because they ask to be let out of the game for personal reasons.
 
mod kills are outside game mechanics. Post minimums are in effect but sometimes I'm also benevolent and give players death if requested. When I have to use subs immediately, it's gonna be a rough one.

Didn't want you speculating too much. Write-up from Day 1 Part Deux has been updated to reflect that. Was in a hurry to get it posted last night, my apologies.
