When did I say I was wolf reading alissa? I haven't decided where I want to move my vote yet but you've been sketching me out, april was sketchy early on yesterday but her later posts yesterday were slightly better, sunshine is sketchy, bread is sketchy with how all his posts are about someone who can't respond so it looks like he's just trying to look like he's participating, and then a lot of people have been too quiet to tell

Same to you

This feels like more evidence of Zenge twisting things.

I am trying so, so hard to not fall into my Dubz tunnel, but this post pinged me as a strange tone compared to what I'm used to so I'm just noting it. Maybe because it's not snarky, which I know is what I asked for 😛 Don't mind me having a crisis over this.

I don't know what you want from me
 
samac said:
April I’m sorry there’s not time.
I’m sorry this happened, I wish you would have revealed sooner but 7 minutes just wasn’t enough. Your flip will at least show that I’ve been right on the money and we’ll know either AM or Finn is a wolf.

How confident about this are you?

supershorty said:
I literally do not understand how so many of you either don't know or conveniently forgot what a pressure vote is. It's to get people to post. This is hardly the first game where pressure votes have been used.
Click to expand...

Pro tip: pressure votes should TAG the person you're pressure voting otherwise it's pointless. Idk if it's a legit noob error or if you were hiding behind weak justification, but it stays in my sketchy pile until proven otherwise.

Animal Midwife said:
Like if I was ever to get vigged off of something like this, I will add samac to the permanent "do not PM under any circumstances list" because it's clearly unsafe for me to do so.
Click to expand...

I thought that statistically we were supposed to use our vigs as early as possible, does this only apply when you're not the target?
 
WildZoo said:
I thought you moved alissa into your village reads?

Idk it just makes me uncomfy that while I agree that cyndia and bread would be good places for pressure, it's kinda for the same reasons that you were saying shouldn't be used to pressure you.
Click to expand...
I forgot to respond to this part the first time, but I dont really consider myself in the same category as bread, or cyndia. I've posted at least some form of reads, and have spent the time available over the last 24 hours doing an ISO on Alissa, thats more than either have done on the thread
 
samac said:
Isnt someone who gets multiple different actions a JOAT?
first night he stole a teapot.
second night he put someone in jail.
Click to expand...
Yes to the question.
I guess I just... don't understand how we KNOW he stole the teapot?

WildZoo said:
Genny gave a very similar description for the person that jailed her as SAR gave for the person that stole from her. So I don't think it's an unreasonable thought, if genny is telling the truth. Could be 3p as well though.
Click to expand...
Maybe I just need to go back and look at SAR's wording again. I know it's been posted a billion times but that was when I was distracted irl.
 
alissa14 said:
Capri voting me on Monday seemed wolfy to me because they were other candidates on the board, she didn’t give much reasoning even though there was plenty of content to try to get better reads from, and my vote wasn’t going anywhere.
Click to expand...

Her vote was late in the cycle.That usually sketches me out more when I think one of the front runners is a wolf and I believe the front runners were April and DocE? One of whom is confirmed and the other I have as a slight village lean.

I need to go look at the tally again and see whether there was any possibility of a different vote taking off too.

Less confident as the day went on a few people have said their role isn’t a direct correlation to their location and the flip of the Queen in the north. i still feel like it’s likely.
 
sunshinefl said:
Speaking of himbo clears, should we clear Stagg for not even knowing SAR was dead?

...and back to ACLS class
Click to expand...
Maybe... but not completely. If he was as absent from wolf chat as he has been from thread (which is what I would expect if he's wolfing - he's not the type to hang out there and not post) he could have missed it.

SAR confirmed it was a furry fat dude with a tiny hat. And April confirmed it wasn’t her.
 
WildZoo said:
Can I say I love this terminology :laugh:
Click to expand...
The real issue is I could see DocE using acting stupid to get us to clear him for what would be stupid reasons, all to make us look extra stupid for doing so. His comment earlier about not playing dumb on purpose made sense to me, but I can't shake a feeling that he might find the irony irresistible.

This is why I can't buy thembo clears from anyone with a serious rep for being sharp.
 
Ms Procrastinator said:
I never mentioned SAR before her death
Click to expand...

You never mentioned her name specifically but you brought up the mayoral vote and having a theory about why it happened which is what I meant about highlighting it. This post below is the one I'm referencing and the bolded part was quoting TME summarizing the vote count and SAR was in the lead with 9.

Ms Procrastinator said:
His name is and will forever be Big Ben


I was less busy?



Am I the only one with a theory as to why this happened



Hear me out, in keeping with the theme, Reign

This was in my drafts since yesterday, but I figured I'd still post it

I guess I just feel like wolf vis didn't have that hard of a time coming up with reads. Weaker analysis, sure, but she was perfectly able to come up with something.
Click to expand...

Which game did vis wolf in? I was thinking in my head I'd only seen her play as village and now I'm wondering if I totally misread her meta or if I just wasn't in the game you're referencing.
 
I am going to

###Yeet Finn###

I have mostly caught up. and started to make my list. I am mostly going with Finn incase there could be a wolf from each starting are (pure speculation). That being said I should probably email my list to myself so I can resume after I have my long trek home.

There’s almost 100% likelihood that there’s not a wolf in each group. I tried this in Bioshock and was shut down.

The theme is escaping me but it was the one where wolf!genny was the d1 vote and there were two other wolves on the board so there was a lot of bussing
 
Cyndia said:
Okay I'm back and going to try reading through as much as possible but with this many new pages and an hour only it's going to be a struggle, but I'll give it my best. In the meantime, can anyone summarize why mkg is in the lead?
Click to expand...
Also @SportPonies

Zenge's post is probably the most succinct summary?
Zenge142 said:
There’s more quotes of MKGs that I could have pulled from Bioshock but I’m still at work, and these will highlight the point I’m trying to get across.

Read these for their tone. Read these for their gravity, and certainty, and conviction. This is a player who’s actively wolfhunting. Who’s reevaluating as the thread state changes.

This isn’t.

And by the way, the low posting this game, I’ll agree with MKG, really is NAI, because her Bioshock post count was pretty low too.

With that in mind, knowing the post counts are roughly similar. Look what she did with her posts in Bioshock. Look what she’s done with her posts here. There’s a pretty stark contrast.

By all means though, I encourage you all to look at MKGs Bioshock posts yourself, because there’s not too many of them, and you can get a real sense of what MKG fighting for village looks like, and how different her posts here look.

There's more which you can find by ISOing zenge and mkg but this is the gist of the argument I guess

Z thinks I'm less engaged/hard this game, and everyone has decided to sheep him. It built fairly quickly while I was off the thread all day dealing with my accident-prone horse
 
Animal Midwife said:
Okay. Again, the reason for yeeting Stagg was direct attached to the yeet vote itself and in posts leading up to said vote while interacting with him. And who are these better candidates that I should have been yeeting given you just agreed with my POE?
Click to expand...

I love how bad you are at reading me. Just makes me all warm and fuzzy.

A real joke salt vote? While technically it's D1, enough has happened for real votes, not a SECOND salty joke vote.

Okay mom, but the salt can live forever. Right @SportPonies ?
 
The_Breadmann said:
did you guys have multiple locations in bioshock?
Click to expand...

If I am remembering correctly, once upon a time there was a game that had one wolf in every group. The village was able to find out this information and from there it was a lot easier to pick off wolves. It's pretty unlikely for this to happen again because I don't think it was generally considered a positive aspect of that game design.

Hello this was one of my games I believe
Or one I was helping run
Bad times were had

Village points to capri for this post

genny said:
i've played with shorty before, and she seemed village to me. and genuinely upset by your shenanigans.
Click to expand...
Agreed on this which is why I want to know....
DocEspana said:
hmmmm this complicates things. But I do still have issues with shorty. Who is now being covered by mayo (not literally). But interpreting genny thorugh the lens of her opinion on two people is complicated as hell.

unvote genny
return back to work until I have a minute to re-assess.
Click to expand...
....why this.

May have been established later on but I'm posting so I don't forget.
 
I’m conflicted.
I really want to see my theory play out, which makes me want to vote finn. Nothing she has done has rang particularly village or wolfy though to be honesy

MKG had a lot going on today and I don’t know if she’s the right vote. I actually don’t feel the greatest about that action.

then there’s sunny who I feel like tried to intentionally twist my words into saying I said that TE’s kill was random and I don’t think my post read like that.
