GGoats ThWWee: Here It GGoats Again - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I honestly read that as a joke. If it’s not, that’s my bad I guess.
I will absolutely annihilate many people in a tie :biglove:

Everyone is welcome to look up PaWWsta if you want to call my bluff!
also because PaWWsta has some outstanding pun-filled writeups if I do say so myself.
 
I still think it would be rad if anyone who suddenly moved me to the bottom of their reads without explanation would like, explain. At all.


I need to reread samac's posts because I am not sure if I believe that she was actually panicky village vs wolf backed into a corner looking for the easiest way out.

...that will be easier to analyze after fruit flips so maybe I won't do that yet
What would the difference look like?
 
Why do you assume you were moved to the bottom of reads and that you didn’t start at the bottom?
This is a really weird question and is not helpful. I'm not assuming anything, I'm talking about the progression I literally saw happen.
 
I had time to post here, I had time to be in wolf chat, but y'all can continue with your confirmation bias
Mads posted those two posts at ~1 minute until EoD. You’re stretching the believability that mads wasn’t making her choice/posts in the moment but would’ve had time to check scum chat and then gone back and gotten her posts/vote in in time.
 
Day 1 - The Start of GGoatapalooza

Gruffendale had never seen such excitement. The goats—fluffy, proud, paranoid—had gathered by the hundreds on the steep, mossy hillside for Gruffapalooza, the greatest concert festival the pasture had ever known. And tonight, none other than Shakira herself, the GOAT of pop music (according to The Hoofington Post), was performing live.

Bales of hay served as seating. The air buzzed with the scent of wildflowers and faint suspicion. Because the goats of Gruffendale were not ordinary goats. No, these goats were deeply distrustful - of outsiders, of each other, even of their own shadows on foggy mornings. And in Gruffendale, every morning was foggy.

As Shakira strutted onto the clover-covered stage wearing a dazzling sequined shawl woven from alpaca wool (the goats tolerated this blasphemy only because it sparkled), the crowd bleated in thunderous approval.

She launched into a reimagined version of her chart-topper, now titled:

“Goats Don't Lie"​

🎶 “Oh bleaty, when you prance like that
You make all the kids go mad
So graze and chew, and don’t be sly—
You know that goats don’t lie!” 🎶

The audience danced wildly, shaking their horns and stamping their hooves in rhythm. Even the elders tapped their weathered cloven feet. For a moment, unity hummed through the hills.

But that was when it happened.

A shriek pierced the music. One of the goats spun in a circle, eyes wide.

“Someone nibbled my backstage haystack snack!”

Gasps. Nostrils flared. The music halted mid-measure. Shakira froze in a dramatic goat pose.

“WHO DID THIS?” bellowed Chairman Billy, the self-appointed head of the Gruffendale Vigilance Committee. “We’re voting.

They formed a chaotic circle in the field, the stomping crowd quickly turning into a mob of whispering, paranoid bleaters. The candidates for suspicion were swiftly nominated, unnominated, renominated. It was a flurry too quick to keep up with. But gradually, the crowd's gaze turned toward none other than Muffinwump the Slightly Moist.

“Why am I even being considered?” Muffinwump cried, his damp wool glistening under the stage lights. “I was just dabbing my brow in the corner! You all know I get sweaty under pressure!”

“That’s what someone guilty would say,” hissed a Doehemian goat, adjusting her flower crown.

Voting paddles were raised. Stomps counted. A mad flurry of accusations and bleats echoed across the valley.

“Three stomps for Muffinwump!”


IT’S MUFFINWUMP.


The crowd turned. Muffinwump backed away, slipping slightly in his own unfortunate dew.


“You’re making me a scapegoat!” he wailed. “I didn’t touch the haystack! I don’t even like timothy! I’m an alfalfa goat!”

But it was too late. Tradition was tradition.

They paraded him down to the Lower Paddock of Shame (not dangerous, just slightly more humid), as Shakira solemnly resumed her performance.
🎶 “Don’t you see, my hooves don’t lie
I’m grazin’ true and I can’t deny
That it’s time to vote and say goodbye
To goats that make us cry...” 🎶

Afterward, the missing snack was found in a patch of tall clover and stepped on. But it was too late. The decision had been made.

Muffinwump, meanwhile, became a cult hero in the Lower Paddock, writing memoirs titled Dewy But Not Guilty.

The goats of Gruffendale, naturally, remained suspicious.

Because if there was one truth they clung to, one mantra they’d bleat through wind and storm, it was this:

Goats don’t lie.
But they definitely judge.


Dead is...

@fruitsalad, Muffinwump the Slightly Moist, and a
vanilla villager
You are Muffinwump the Slightly Moist. No one knows where you came from, only that you arrived riding a unicycle made of twine. You whisper secrets to puddles.

Happy to let the players answer for themselves but I disagree with that narrative for 2 of those
You are welcome to disagree but I went from neutral/middle of their lists to wolf/bottom and if there was an explanation given I never saw it despite asking so :shrug:
 
Fine with not preflipping mads but i cannot see a world in which I dont like actually flip mads tomorrow

You’re not on my bottom of the list I don’t think.
I think you are worth looking at more closely. I think you could be paired with mads. I’d flip there first

That's fine. I'll let the players answer for themselves and give my read on this later
 
If ya woulda voted mads with me we wouldn’t be in this situation lol
I could probably say the same if you would’ve voted Dubz. You townread me and greedy so it’s not like you believe we were pushing Dubz for nefarious reasons. We shouldn’t be pointing the finger at each other when these are both what if scenarios.

@fruitsalad, you are in the lead!
Missing: @Clem J

Check your votes.
Though I am also perplexed that in the few posts I have read I felt like genny was pushing a yeet Samac narrative but set on fruit?
 
As far as day 1 townflips go we hit vanilla and I think got a ton of interesting data so keep up the WIM squad
 
If there’s a protector in this game and you don’t protect Zenges I swear to god I’ll make you eat shorty’s shoe
 
Good to know if mads is wolf I'll die next despite having her second on my own red list, but them's the breaks I guess
It is unfortunately the case unless mech stuff comes in about it. Like Mads is fairly new and if she built really sus fake assosiatives with you to get you limmed if she was ever flipped mad respect. I'm gonna have to be fooled by someone doing that once before I put it in their range
 
I will say Dubz makes a good point I didn’t think about. She usually protects her nooblets as a wolf. I’d see her trying to protect mads most likely unless there is some reason not too.
I think there’s reason not to lol
 
i'm gonna need some quotes because i feel like you're really overinterpreting whatever you think you read
I mean tbh I haven’t read most of the stuff around the 7-8:30 hour but I’ll look later.
I’m headed to a bar to celebtate.

That's why I said thems the breaks

Distancing exists
That's. Why. I. Said. Thems. The. Breaks.

Accurate and demonstrable but it's not going to matter lol
