Can confirm coop has really ****in weird dreams

I was in the shower for most of it and increasingly unconvinced by Sporty’s posts- sounded like upset fluff about coming online to find out she was being lynched with no real substance to her posts, plus I thought her calling out miz and jboo for not posting enough was kind of ironic and strange. I had doggo as a stronger village read, so wouldn’t flip there, and I didn’t want to leave things in a tie if I voted for anyone else.
1) i would suggest looking at those situations from both perspectives (imagine it as a wolf, imagine it as a villager). Pretty much anyone will get upset and lash out if they've been busy all day and come back to find they're being lynched, especially if the reason they're being lynched is because they were busy. It's NAI.
2) she did have at least one post where she pulled some quotes and responded to some things/gave thoughts. Too late to do anything for her with that now, but what are your thoughts on that post?

Ahhh... The sound of a book, the first time you open it, that little "crackle" of the spine. The soothing sound of pages as they are turned. Very similar to the sounds of books sneaking up on each other in the dead of night.

My bookshelf seems to have been very active last night. Dog-eared so badly that I can no longer read it is a wonderful book exploring the modern day realities of what it means to be a Native American.

Dead is
@Doggo Labs , who was There There by Tommy Orange, a VILLAGER who was more likely to receive items
81FHAZWBpeL.jpg

Tommy Orange's wondrous and shattering novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize. Among them is Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind. Dene Oxendene, pulling his life together after his uncle's death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. Together, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American--grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism. Hailed as an instant classic, There There is at once poignant and unflinching, utterly contemporary and truly unforgettable.

Meanwhile, all of the books in my possession heard a distant sound like someone crunching boots on crushed glass last night. All PMing restrictions are lifted until the close of N2.

Anyone else wondering why there are resale values listed with the dead villagers?
I had a theory brewing about resurrection? Not entirely sure where my brain was going with it tbh. But something about higher resale value being assigned to more powerful roles and requiring more effort/time/something to resurrect.

Oh that’s a nice positive spin. I was thinking alternate win conditions for wolves - like they had to earn a certain amount by selling back their books.

Yes, was wondering that last night when I said sporty was cheap haha

I had the same thought as Dubz. Also thought that it might be something connected to the dead or chaos, kinda like Trilt in Omitted where she had to collect a certain number of souls to win. Maybe a 3rd party has to build up their library or something.

Alternatively, it is just flair like the mountain conditions in my ski game...but it's prominent enough that it is more likely a role.

The speed at which you had this ready is both admirable and weird
 
Although let it be known that this game is really making me want to go make some tea, round up the cats, and read my current Terry Prachett book in front of the fireplace instead of watching lectures like I need to.
I've been snuggled up with Gandalf, reading Circe and hoping I don't get called in

I thought it was strange how she was poking at basically all of my village reads, which really didn't sway me over. Miz especially sounds fine to me and I didn't agree with what Sporty was saying about her. In hindsight, I remember when I was getting lynched late D1 last game and I started trying to put my thoughts out but then got frustrated about even trying when it was clearly fruitless and stopped, so I can understand why she stopped bothering, but I didn't like the Doggo counterwagon and also didn't want to create a tie at the last minute.
 
@mizchiefmanaged @WildZoo mostly feels -- she kinda dropped off after posting right out the gate and the return posts felt insubstantial and graspy.

I also don't agree with the assertion that Nav lynching her is a better way to get rid of her vs. a night kill. Because even if he thought night killing her would make people suspicious of him like she suggested, lynching is even more high profile and would probably backfire even harder if she flipped village, especially after all of the claims about how well he reads her. Plus, I think he's perfectly capable of talking his way out of nk wifom anyways
 
Hmm, I really want to hear more from jboo since last game I got an immediate strong village vibe within the first day they played and I currently have absolutely no thoughts rn which is weird to me, but also don't really want to lynch someone who has technical difficulties and can't respond, but also they're posting on thread so there must be some sort of way to respond.

lynch jboo
