England - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So today I wore my pretty sweater with the long bell sleeves since I’m not doing surgery, and sure enough, half my cases have involved butt stuff. This is not my butt stuff shirt. Idk why the receptionists have conspired against me like this, but I clearly owe them some candy or coffee or something to get back in their good graces.

Or you can be like me and wear scrubs every day since I work ER ...

... and then look like that try-hard who wants people to just KNOW THEY'RE IN MEDICINE when you have to run from work to the grocery store and didn't have time to change in the locker room first.
 

This, btw, for any newer players, is how you subtly/psychologically pocket.

Is this based primarily upon her terrible VCA or is there something more?

I feel like we learn the most from a Finn vote, but I could potentially be convinced to move it.

Idk, how much of a cluster/waffle-fest do you want tonight to be?

Also, I am 100% fine with a Finn flip and would strongly support this with a real push on Alley tomorrow. It would provide by far the most info. The point I'm trying to get across is that I'm a terrible choice for a vote and that we should all very strongly be considering Finn vs. Alley tonight for #reasons. I'd prefer not to elaborate more at this time, but I will use the subtlety of a sledgehammer if needed.

@Stagg737 imma ask. Why do you feel so sure on alley? Especially a few hours before vote close. You didn’t seem sure yesterday in this 36 hour cycle. What the hell happened?

Whatever gave you that impression? I am about as certain of Alley as I am of Finn. However I'm 100% certain that keeping a Stagg wagon much longer is going to be a huge waste and that we need to be discussing Alley v Finn right now.
 
Let me also state that I'd very strongly prefer not to have to role reveal tonight, but at least 2 non-village seem to be doing a pretty good job of forcing that hand right now...

Why was alley your person of choice? Was it arbitrary?
and if you’re wanting to discuss alley VS finn and want to keep yourself alive why are you not willing to self prez? I’m confused.
 
Sorry to @LetItSnow for not being around. My a-hole patients had problems they had to tell me about. The nerve of them! Will be on for the next 30-60 minutes though.

Keeping in mind that these lists don't account for any context or timing of votes, basic things I'm taking away are:

- Samac, Genny, and Alissa currently have terrible voting records. However, if Finn is a wolf their VCA looks significantly better.
- If Finn is a wolf then Dubz, MsP, and Sporty will have the worst records
- Additionally, if Finn is a wolf then it means every living wolf has bussed at some point

Other things I'm also considering:
A Finn flip would provide some strong info, and possibly a lot of it.

Alley has been gunning for Finn for basically the whole game and her VCA only improves if Finn flips wolf, yet today she's voting for me. Finn was leading the vote 4-2 (with Cyndia being the 4th vote) when Alley dropped a vote on me to make it 4-3. I then voted to make it 5-3 and shortly after Cyndia switched her vote to tie it up again. Strong sketch points for both of them if Finn flips wolf.

I want to look more into the possibility of Dubz/Sporty/Samac pack, though I'm very hesitant about this for fairly solid reasons AM would hate.

I have no idea what Cray is doing unless she's 3P. @Lawpy , did you lend her your dartboard?

@Cyndia this was the post I was referring to when I quoted you earlier. I did a liiiiiittle bit more than just make fun lists. Himbos CAN do more than count to 4...

I know, why patients gotta have problems and come see me?

on another note i was going to finish my iso, but I had patients all afternoon and its DnD night so I’m eating Chinese food and being sociable. I’ll be around for real time stuff cause I can’t resist though.

Think real hard about why I wouldn't need to self-prez. I'll give you a hint: I don't have an vote avoidance.

And no, Alley was not an arbitrary choice. That would be incredibly bad play.

I'll say that if you're thinking of switching to me, you should 100% check the thread within 30 minutes of close to ensure you don't do something silly...
 
I also find where the current votes are lying very interesting, though I'm quite disappointed with a couple of you

What were you finding interesting about them?

So what in the actual frak am I getting so much shyte for? Because I shot a beloved villager that sounded like a scummy lawyer? Village vigs get shyte wrong all the time, get over it!

Gotta say, feeling pretty good about Barks and Dina based on this. I'm also willing to set aside LIS and Capri for now.

Seriously side eyeing Dubz, Mayo, Finn, and the rest below the line.

I mean I think you're village, but I'm still really salty about you shooting zenge, like a lot and it's probably going to be a long time before I will forgive you for it. Also you were between alissa and two of my wolf reads the other day and you picked alissa so that also made me feel super salty.

This point from dina on alley is good

Oooooooh now it's good point, a few cycles ago I was getting sus'd out for it from you and others lol.

Updated reads?

I'm most worried about Finn, stagg, sporty, capri, and maybe alley. Alley's D1 game play made me feel good about her but she's really fallen off. Not to mention I think it was her who bought into sunny's role reveal and I think she soft defended mkg too (I'd have to go back and check).

Looking at this tally and getting serious cold feet. I know I had reasons for not wanting to flip Finn yet but....

Can everyone on Stagg tell me why they are not voting Finn today? I'd like to know.

I'm honestly kinda OK resolving them before end game, but by my math we may only get to lose 5 villagers before parity if we only have misvotes, and with NK factored in we may in reality only get 2 or 3 more flips. So Finn and Stagg may get to be only the last 2 eggs we crack.

At least this is how I start thinking about endgame, because our ability to choose who to flip for data/find wolves starts to become very limited.

Yes I think it's most important we flip Finn today. There's too many things up in the air surrounding her and her flip will help me with a few other reads (particularly samac). I don't mind some pressure on Alley though (and MsP too).
 
Unyeet Stagg

Yeet Finn


I wanted to wait a day on Finn to see if she could actually prove her rez, but it seems like nobody else is interested in that
 
I'm sorry that Stagg has all of a sudden decided to go after me, but that would be unproductive and I think we should all be voting elsewhere, preferably on Finn so we can finally put to rest Samac's theory.

Care to share your wolf reads while you're here?
 
Updated reads please alley.
Will be coming after I get done at work. I have a research symposium poster due tomorrow and I've been working on it all day.

Updated reads, @alleycat03 and Cyndia, on one another please.
I think Cyndia is village. She's been wolf hunting and I feel like she is being more genuine and posting more pro-village content than when we wolfed together.
Well alissa is dead...not sure how you mix up finn and alley though
I think he was saying he mixed up me and alissa, which I understand. Still bummed he thinks that I'm a worthwhile vote however.

The only reason I was on Stagg was because I was seriously creeped out by his ghosts comment, and I wanted to wait a day to potentially let Finn prove her rez.

If I die by yeet or by NK, I think you should all investigate Stagg seriously because I do not get where this sudden suspiciousness of me came from.

@samac- village
@holdthemayo- was reading shorty as village, now I’m not as confident about Mayo. Neutral. Village/3P Mayo is jokey and we haven't seen as much of that during this game.
@alleycat03- me, village
@LetItSnow- Neutral??? I like what he’s saying, but haven’t seen a ton from him. I didn't like that he was willing to follow Stagg and vote for me, but I do like his posts and reasoning.
@Ms Procrastinator- thought village, especially after bob interaction, but then she went MIA.

@SportPonies- neutral, leaning wolf.
@Cyndia- village
@Crayola227- village (but questionable vig kills), so could she be a 3P

I am feeling pretty confident that there's likely a royalty 3P killer out there, or somebody has a similar wincon to that, because we've lost a LOT of royalty so far.

I'm going to go ahead and point this out in Gigantic, bolded, underlined text and ask those voting for me to think about why I feel strongly enough to push Alley. I'll also add that I will not be moving my vote back to Finn out of self-prez.
????????????????????????
hmmmmmmmm.
I'd be willing to put aside my concern on that last night post and test this, since I was previously reading Stagg village.

Oh that stagg quote reminded me that I have been entertaining the idea of cray being 3p

Ah, I missed this when I was jumping around responding to my notifications. This is better than just the straight data you were spewing initially, though I still don’t agree with all of your conclusions.
 
It feels very quiet in here. Just heads up, I'll be around for a bit, but high likelihood I'll be driving home during close. So are we going to discuss more, or just be boring?

So you think there's only two wolves left in the game or those are just the ones you strongly feel are wolves?

What would you like to discuss?

Idk, how about the people who've decided to stay on me for vote (other than Finn, obviously). Or the return to your classic Avatar (one of my favorites btw).

Let's yeet Finn, and then hope that Stagg gets stabbed to death overnight. Like if anyone has a big sword, and can go around stabbing people.

:sorry:

If someone had a big sword it doesn’t seem they’ve been using it this game.
we also have a big claiming village.

I'll start, it makes me feel squidgy that Sporty and Capri were liking my posts while simultaneously voting for me and are still sitting on me.

Have you been reading the write-ups? Not trying to be a jerk, but you might be missing some major points from write-ups...
