I've never claimed to know how to spell y'all (apologies to all the horse folks...)

Not necessarily. Especially if it wouldn't fit his village meta to tone it down a bit. It's a great distraction and might even be a good place to bus if they feel like doing that. Kind of like how the Emojis wolf pack let Kras do her thing.
was kras in danger of getting yeeted for it though? I don't recall that being the case but i would have to go back and check

There was heat on her at least once and Dubz played it off as "No one is defending her so she must be village" lol

Then stop expecting other people to play just like you.

I literally want NO ONE to play like me. I want people to understand that if there are 24 players (idk how many there are) and all 24 just laugh and smile and apologize for accusing each other then this game will bore everyone to tears and be dictated entirely by role powers and not by actual skill.

I bring agitation to the table. No one HAS to interact with me and anyone can stop doing so any time they want. I want to see what shakes out of these conversations. The irony of people saying I'm only focusing on one person - they completely miss the entire point of this.
 
The game literally limits me to a single PM person in my circle of influence. It's gonna take a while for me to have some breaking news unique to my experience.
Ah, no one wanted to open a PM with you?
 
DocE has an uphill battle for sure to stay off the yeet list. I don’t think he should be yeet’d though. He seems to start and keep dialogue going. I think some of his takes are off but helps bring clarity to others by their responses. Or by making me assess more closely what I think. And he can always be voted off later, but I’m sure some world/time travel events can make it more difficult.
It really weirds me out that Cray love reacted this post because that's so unusual for her in WW games. I don't know what to think of her blindly sheeping on DocE. I don't think she'd wolf like that given the wolf play I've seen from her, but it's weird and I don't feel like I can take her out of my POE without seeing some more original thoughts from her.
 
I saw you posted a few other things during the day, but it still gave me some weird feels that I wanted to point out
Dina, how are you feeling about alley now that she's made some more content-related posts?
 
Woo, finally caught up! I was multitasking so I don't have a lot of specific points, but general thoughts on the doce/shorty interactions -

I am not feeling a DocE vote today. His interactions with shorty feel pretty classic, and it's NAI imo. While I agree that it's a little distracting to heavily discuss one issue for a while, it's also still only the first portion of D1 and has stimulated a good bit of chatter to parse through, so I think it is still potentially useful as long as this doesn't continue monopolizing conversation for the rest of the day.

I'm having a hard time gauging an opinion on shorty because of the noise of this one specific argument. Last few games we played, I had her firmly village bloc as everything she said sounded and seemed very logical. I find it interesting cray feels she's off this game, because she feels off and slightly less logical to me in her thoughts so far, but the caveat is I don't know if I'm just letting some bias color that since I'm not reading DocE the same way she is and that's what the bulk of her recent posts have been about.

Cray feels I'm off in every game. She literally has said the tone thing in every game I've played with her other than the first one, and she's said I manufactured shade at people before too. Her not pushing that in Bioshock was one of the things that made me initially wonder if she was wolfing.

I have DocE on ignore at this point and am working on more reads right now.

I think this is exactly the point being made about it monopolizing discussion though. All that catch-up and your thoughts amount to commentary on three people in a 20-something player game.

I also don't personally care at all about cray thinking shorty is off since she has said that about her every game they've played together.

Since we just wolfed with her in Bioshock, I’d appreciate your current thoughts on Alley.
 
@sunshinefl , before the runoff election, when you and genny were talking about her switching her vote to MsP and hoping to get more people on that vote - I'm just wondering why you swapped your vote to DocE after that interaction. It seemed like you and genny both agreed on MsP, and she switched, but then you changed your vote, noted the opposite ninjaing, but didn't change it back. There were only 2 minutes left before voting closed, so maybe you just missed that, but I'm curious why you changed your vote given the conversation you guys were having.

Yeahhh that's fair, though it was also the most recent and prominent in my mind so wanted to comment on it first. As I said, if it continues to be monopolizing conversation then it's detrimental to the village even if it's a potentially v/v interaction. But for now, I'm not interested in voting there.

I didn't realize she always goes after you, I think this is my second game with her (the last of which was bioshock). So that makes me feel a little better about cray if she always does this.

I was actually really liking her posts so far this game. I feel like she really struggled when wolfing to post authentic sounding village commentary and put a lot of effort into pulling quotes and reads that didn't say much or contribute much. Very different from what I've seen so far this game. So my gut is pushing her village so far.

It makes me want to village lean her too, I'm just having a difficult time understanding the sheeping. I don't want to vote her based on that, especially when she isn't using words, but I feel like I can't take her out of my POE right now because of it.

Regardless of affiliations, I think Cray's sheeping of DocE is the result of friendliness outside of the game. Which isn't my favorite thing, but I'm having a hard time making it AI.

Her gif restriction seems a little tougher if it's only doctor who related images (unless she's just doing so by choice?). So I'm wondering if it's not 100% a sheep because she can't fully explain herself, but regardless, I'm reserving more concrete judgement until she can start talking again.

When asked to provide more info, she was able to quote all of DocE's arguments intact and her own every game stance on shorty. So I think if she had more reasoning, she would have shared it already.

Ah yes, I saw that wall of DocE quotes she pulled, though I'm wondering if she has additional thoughts not fully stated by anyone, and DocE's were closest? I'm really only thinking this because I'm having severe gif-restriction empathy after my frustrations last game trying to find suitable posts to quote and highlight lol.

She also pulled genny's quote so, basically, it's been any and everyone who expressed not 100% village-reading shorty. Not saying we have to yeet her today or anything, but I feel like quoting combined with the pictures will be useful for explaining any further reasoning if she so wants to.
