GGoats ThWWee: Here It GGoats Again - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Real curious who you think I am paired with then
Not Genny, Not Lissa, Not MKG. These all have mechanical backup.

Not AM lol. Vampy willing you yeet you EOD1. Not vampy!

Beans/Clem/Zenge I guess or you are the solo OG wolf and I need to throw all my reads away, which im not willing to do speculatively just yet
 
Vampy unpaired with both other members of my limpool is interesting. I think they get out of the limpool in general for that
 
If you're going to keep this up you need to actually bring evidence. This is the third time you've said something that isn't supported by the thread. This is what she claimed.
What's this then?
Plus the thing I'm worried about is, if I'm correct, then wearing my outsides wouldn't register as the imposter visiting KJQ. It'd show as me. Though maybe with some kind of flavor clues to indicate it isn't what it seems, but idk
That aside. I don't know why we're arguing about someone, who is confirmed to have lied, about whether or not their claim was believable.

Perhaps we should redirect back into the current day and on living players.

If I was encouraging her to claim Sleepwalker, the "hearing the door creak as though someone left" would not have been a part of it. She also would have said she visited KJQ specifically.

I also wouldn't have been the ONLY PERSON to explore the potential legitimacy of the claim, without any other support.
You weren't the only person though...?

And you think I would have just sat by and let her make a faulty claim, and then contradicted it myself? Either I was trying to help her live or I was burying her, once again, you can't have it both ways.
I did not see any burying as I said in my first reply.

Which is a heck of a lot when the other person up for consideration has zero and no one is vocally doubting her claim.
I know that's incorrect off the top of my head because I remember vamp saying she wanted to "wait until near EOD to get as much info as possible."

I'll leave that to Zenge to talk about. Pretty sure that was much earlier in the day. And wasn't a sentiment he repeated later.
Voting mads was though. Leaving someone alive with the wrong POE, especially if the sole correct read is in no immediate danger, is pretty standard.

I wasn't going to try to get her voted out, ever, but certainly would have kept her around to keep myself alive.
Do you have no defenders with her dead?

The watcher item doesn't matter because I had no way to know she had it???
Zenge brought it up so I assume he has a reason to list that info at me.
 
Anyway, I'm not an idiot, I wouldn't have killed samac, I'm going to focus elsewhere for a bit because the point by point with AM is taking up all my time and I'd rather help find wolves while I can
I'm not insinuating you're an idiot. I know you're good at what you do. The issue is just that mechanics are unpredictable this game and you may have been cornered for the wrong reason despite having been in a good spot SOD2.
 
Non-POE reasoning:

genny - obvious, outted PSV and from the beginning seemed more interested in pursuing her than Lissa. 100% unpaired.

mkg - Was just based on the mayoral energy, then Zenge's reading card, and then she shot PSV so barring fancy shenanigans, she good.

Zenge - Voiced suspicion against PSV multiple times prior to the genny outting, don't see him doing that after converting her. However, idk why he is now bringing up samac being a watcher as if that is a point against me when I didn't know about it.

Greedy - for VCA purposes I don't think his vote hopping at the end of D1 makes much sense knowing that mads, fruit, samac (and myself) were all village. Was the second vote on PSV (after fruit) when there were many village options on the board and encouraged KJQ to move there as well...the movement to samac was voiced by KJQ and started by fruit so not like he was the one to push things away from PSV. I also just think he's sounded village when sus has come up about him.

Sakuraaaaa - no need to bring up the conversion thing as a wolf. AM is in her village meta, I'm just not used to her turning the vulpix gaze on me lol

Clem - he probably should be in my POE I just don't feel like putting him there. His energy is very village!Clem and I don't think he goes "wow surprised there are any vanilla town" as a wolf, that's some rookie wolf slippage that I know he is better than.

Lissa - on the weaker end of things, but it would just be strange for OH HOLD ON A MINUTE*******
 
I'm torn because part of my brain wants to be like "Ooo Lissa epiphany!!" but idk if it's too convoluted?

Like the item and usage makes sense, but we have no way to confirm that KJQ did act on samac, other than it seeming to make sense from the thread, and if we can come to that conclusion then a wolf can surely come to the same conclusion for a fake tracking claim.

Likewise it would seem strange for two wolves to act on the same player, but if Lissa wasn't tracking then...maybe not so strange?

And the big thought I had that ultimately is probably insane, is like...what if PSV wasn't lying about the item, and she was converted n1, because she used the item and ended up in the presence of a wolf and somehow that converted her? Or something?

All of this was triggered by PSV saying she believed Lissa and that there must have been some ~other~ person present for KJQ's death, which is a weird thing for a wolf to do when a Lissa vote was the only way she was gonna live.

Hard though, outted wolves do be doing stuff.

At any rate I have no reason to remove Lissa from the POE other than occam's razor.
 
Vampy unpaired with both other members of my limpool is interesting. I think they get out of the limpool in general for that
Removing people from the POE because they're unpaired from other people in the POE when you don't know your POE is correct is a little strange, friend.

I know you won't take it for me but you've misstepped somewhere major if you're down to just me and Clem (unless Clem was the lone OG which...oof).
 
What's this then?
Still not a Sleepwalker claim, still implying I would have intentionally undermined her claim by posting something more believable instead of giving that to her to claim in the first place

That aside. I don't know why we're arguing about someone, who is confirmed to have lied, about whether or not their claim was believable.
I'm arguing about how I treated the claim, idk what you're trying to argue.


You weren't the only person though...?
I will give you Vampy who made some soft nudges but she wasn't nearly as active about it as I was. Literally everyone else who was on at the time was like "nah".
I know that's incorrect off the top of my head because I remember vamp saying she wanted to "wait until near EOD to get as much info as possible."
This was before Lissa had come back and finished explaining.


Voting mads was though. Leaving someone alive with the wrong POE, especially if the sole correct read is in no immediate danger, is pretty standard.
Nice goalpost movement. We were discussing my specific action of allowing him to talk to samac in private, not why he's alive. Zenge being left alive because he was wrong about mads could apply to literally anyone, it's not specific to me.


Do you have no defenders with her dead?
ah yes the entire roster is coming to my defense, I can't believe I missed their posts!


Zenge brought it up so I assume he has a reason to list that info at me.
And as you can see above, it was not known that she actually possessed the opera glasses, it was just on thread that she was offered them. Which I didn't take note of, because I also didn't retain that was the item genny used to watch KJQ (just realized that on reread).

its weird that you’re so insistent on keeping me in people’s POE. as if i did anything wrong and anything wasnt actively help problem solve here.

again- i truly dont understand why wanting to weigh all my options before making a vote is seen as something wolfy??? following the sheep mentality (or goat in this case) and misyeeting someone seems way more damning than “i would like to hear more and weigh out my options because i’m going to be honest here and say i cannot get a good read on anyone”.

i’ve moved people up and down from my poe BASED ON the information they are providing. so should i just be keeping my original list and voting with whoever is leading for the sake of *checks notes* not looking wolfy for not investigating things further?

I'm just saying I know I'm village so unless there is a single solitary wolf left, then something is wrong with a POE that is down to me and Clem. I don't have strong reasons to scumread you, I just also don't have strong reasons to village read you like I do for others.
 
I'm not insinuating you're an idiot. I know you're good at what you do. The issue is just that mechanics are unpredictable this game and you may have been cornered for the wrong reason despite having been in a good spot SOD2.
When have I ever been in a good spot this entire game? are you willfully ignoring that I have been in the bottom of every POE except for Zenge and samac's?

Regardless, idk what cornering you're talking about.
 
Okay, some morning thoughts. Starting with a list of who I am very confident is town and why (in no particular order):
1. genny - the incident with watching KJQ and seeing PSV/Lissa.
2. mkg - shooting PSV
3. Lissa - I think she was telling the truth about the airtag. That certainly makes more sense then assuming she is somehow also tied up with all the wolfing.
4. vampy - I think she would have been a lot more willing to jump on the mads wagon if she was a wolf. Also, the vanilla thing makes me think she probably is village. (I know it could be referring to her being a vanilla wolf...but is that likely?)
5. me - if anyone has specific questions for me that would help make it clear I'm village, let me know.

People who I think are probably town: zenge, animal midwife, and greedy.

That leaves Dubz and Clem. I don't think I missed anyone but lmk if I did.
 
I'm just saying I know I'm village so unless there is a single solitary wolf left, then something is wrong with a POE that is down to me and Clem. I don't have strong reasons to scumread you, I just also don't have strong reasons to village read you like I do for others.
and i know i’m vanilla villager. role was never updated from when i became mayor. clem being in POE is kinda meh at this point but i personally see him pretty town and thats super weird coming from me. but again, this is clem and there’s always a chance.

as for you- also meh. i think AM makes some good points but you’re hitting back with responses and clarification which is something i personally do when i’m in the hot seat and i know i’m town and nobody believes me (cough Mission ImpoWWsible cough) so i can appreciate you taking the extra steps to clear your name.
 
4. vampy - I think she would have been a lot more willing to jump on the mads wagon if she was a wolf. Also, the vanilla thing makes me think she probably is village. (I know it could be referring to her being a vanilla wolf...but is that likely?)
is vanilla wolf even a thing? isnt that contradictory?
 
3. @Zenge142 why did you think mads was wolfy back on day 1?
Early on It was largely vibes. Samac sort of talked me into it.
:shrug:
I dunno why either of those are getting village read lol
And then this reads list I didn't really jive with. It just didn't make sense.
I'm on my lunch break so I'll do a very quick vibes check! I will also be here for the last hour, can't wait to eat some yummy waffles. There's a weird circle of agreement coming from zenge-clem-genny that I am Not A Fan Of
(i'll pull it when i have time) but yeah

fruit- hard to tell, not as scummy as last game so slight village lean
mads- sus beyond belief frankly how dare she
Greedy- yeah i agree the lissa vote was weird, slight scum
genny- slight scum
PSV- village-ish
Clem- scummy
samac- hunting me is village vibes unfortunately
beans- overwhelmed village (join the club)
Sakuura- not enough info, true neutral
Lissa- slight scum? haven't seen enough
Zenge- scummy
KJQ- not giving wolf vibes so far
vampy- WIFE!! vv village
mkg- co-mayor, village for now

In Order V -> W

Vamps
Beans
Samac
KJQ= MKG
PSV
Fruit

Sakuura
Lissa

Greedy
Genny
Zenge=Clem

i think i'm forgetting someone but i gotta go so see you in a few hours
End of day I was more convinced because I could tell Fruit wasn't going to flip wolf, and the Mads wagon evaporated, and Mads was talking about voting people for the lulz and it just didn't really sit right with me.

Although in hindsight :eggface:

that makes sense. You seem town to me especially since samac trusted you so much and she flipped town.
Was anything shared in your PM with samac that you think would be helpful to pass on? (That wouldn't help the wolves ofc)
 
Still not a Sleepwalker claim, still implying I would have intentionally undermined her claim by posting something more believable instead of giving that to her to claim in the first place
I'm arguing about how I treated the claim, idk what you're trying to argue.
I don't want to get trapped in a loop here so I'll just end it here but, again, I do not have any interest in evaluating people's reactions PSV claim because she was partially playing in antispew by that point.

I will give you Vampy who made some soft nudges but she wasn't nearly as active about it as I was. Literally everyone else who was on at the time was like "nah".

This was before Lissa had come back and finished explaining.
That still doesn't line up because vamp didn't vote for PSV after said explanation.

Nice goalpost movement. We were discussing my specific action of allowing him to talk to samac in private, not why he's alive. Zenge being left alive because he was wrong about mads could apply to literally anyone, it's not specific to me.
Not "literally anyone." Certain people have found her as village before even when she played like a sketchball before.
ah yes the entire roster is coming to my defense, I can't believe I missed their posts!
dubz, I love you but hyperbole like this only makes me feel worse.
And as you can see above, it was not known that she actually possessed the opera glasses, it was just on thread that she was offered them. Which I didn't take note of, because I also didn't retain that was the item genny used to watch KJQ (just realized that on reread).
Okay, I'm not going to argue that point since I don't know what post is being referred to and I genuinely don't care about mechanics. I was just echoing since Zenge said it to me.
 
I’m not sure where to go here. I’m disturbed that AM seems to be implying she is still unconvertable and that the item is still circulating.
Same. For the moment I am leaning towards voting dubz unless new information presents itself between now and EOD. There's just quite a bit of incriminating evidence against her rn.
 
i’m conflicted on voting dubz because she’s coming back at AM with answers to almost every question, but at the same time, still a lil sus
 
When have I ever been in a good spot this entire game? are you willfully ignoring that I have been in the bottom of every POE except for Zenge and samac's?

Regardless, idk what cornering you're talking about.
When mads was near guaranteed to be the only death D2. Before PSV got caught in the act. You could then have said "you were wrong about mads so why would you be right above me?" Extremely good spot to get paired with a scummy villager.

The cornering I'm referring to is people getting out of the POE thanks to a single item. Which, by extension, made you fall into it.
 
and i know i’m vanilla villager. role was never updated from when i became mayor. clem being in POE is kinda meh at this point but i personally see him pretty town and thats super weird coming from me. but again, this is clem and there’s always a chance.

as for you- also meh. i think AM makes some good points but you’re hitting back with responses and clarification which is something i personally do when i’m in the hot seat and i know i’m town and nobody believes me (cough Mission ImpoWWsible cough) so i can appreciate you taking the extra steps to clear your name.
What's your POE again?
 
There's just quite a bit of incriminating evidence against her rn.
I'm curious, what do you consider to be the "incriminating evidence" against her at the moment?
 
What's your POE again?
current POE is this. it wasnt updated after you swapped in for sakuraaa so ty for reminding me lol. i’ll post my full reads in a moment, i’ll be home in a sec

Neutral(most to least town):
genny
AM
clem
lissa
zenge

Scum(and leaning):
dubz?
greedy?
sakuraaa (removed from POE due to your swap and based on your statements, i feel comfortable moving you up and out.
PSV ✅
 
I'm curious, what do you consider to be the "incriminating evidence" against her at the moment?
1. Greedy's point about PSV not switching her vote to dubz even though it would have made sense for her to do so.
2. when genny first brought up seeing PSV and Lissa visiting KJQ and dubz's initial reaction was to jump on Lissa instead of PSV, even with everyone else questioning PSV
3. a lot of dubz's points in the current discussion with AM (I'll admit I skimmed some of them, so may have missed something) seem to focus on "if I was a wolf, I wouldn't do this". How do we know she wouldn't? It seems entirely possible to me that she could have chosen to kill samac because that would seem out of character for dubz and it might lead us to clear her. Even with the PSV thing too - her argument is that she would have guided PSV better after genny's accusation by telling her to claim sleepwalker. Would she even have had time to tell PSV what to say? Are we sure she wouldn't have let PSV become a sacrificed packmate in an effort to protect the remaining wolves?
4. Pretty much everyone else has done something or said something that makes it clear they're town (ex. genny's n1 claim, mkg shooting PSV, AM and the unconvertable mp3, etc.). I haven't seen that from dubz. Have I seen things potentially suggesting she is town? Yes. Could she be trying to get us to think she's town? Also yes. She's an experienced player. I don't doubt she knows what to say to seem towny even if she isn't.
 
The MP3 fits with being unconvertable but it wasn’t clear in my PM from the mods if that was a lasting thing, or just the night you used it. I used the MP3 last night
Seeing as limited time item specified as much, I'm pretty sure it's permanent.

Why is genny neutral?
 
Okay I'm back from sleeping.

It's hard to say if there was any shift in PSV's reads between D0 and D1 because the first reads she gave were on D1. So...that was a fruitless search. Anyway.

First content:

I'm trying to read snippets as much as my motion sickness permits me to. Going through the final three states today 🫡
As of mobile page twelve: mkg and vampy both light town reads. I have no interest in overthrowing the government (at least, the goat one). I'm not sure I agree with some others on Zenge being a town read; he's neutral for me. KJQ and Greedy have the same brain and it's a lil spoopy

This was later in response to genny asking if anyone had concerns about greedy, fruit, and samac (with a side of Zenges)
I can get behind fruit concern and regarding samac with healthy suspicion.
not greedy? if anything, i'd put greedy higher on my POE over samac. how come?
Eh, Greedy isn't a townread but as of now I think he's feeling okay. samac not having a push atm makes me nervous

Most of her interactions through the rest of the day were with samac, their back and forth about whether she was usually good at reading samac or not, etc etc. Then she was gone for a bit and came back with a little less than 2 hours before vote close with this...weird post.


Wait, @Zenge142 @samac you're both on mads? Are you friends now?

There was this exchange with Greedy, which I like for village!Greedy

@GreedyBanger do you plan to stay on Lissa?

(I am not caught up so if things have been explained, womp?)
Don't wanna yeet Mads or Fruit. Both are flipping town

Unvote

Vote PSV


Consolidation nation
(as I mentioned before, this was the second vote on PSV)


Really dislike that vote, not least of all because it's on me lol

Ok well i fully explained my process on it and its consistent with my worldview previously expressed. Pick one of the other people not on my strike list and we will murder them instead, I don't feel strongly about you being scum
(I'm actually not sure whether this was directed at PSV or Vampy, see the Greedy/Vampy exchange in my next post)

I don't feel strongly enough about you being town to just agree to pick someone else. I don't even agree with your strong townreads.

Ok well if we see the game that differently and you don't want to work with me then i'm gonna be good on voting you and you shouldn't be that alarmed about it

PSV went on to yeet samac, which was consistent with her posts throughout the day. This exchange and that point is why I think the argument that we are partnered because she didn't vote for me doesn't make sense. She had no reason to vote for me and potentially clear me if I survived and she went down later when she'd already cleared samac. She didn't even vote fruit or mads at this point to preserve herself, when she was in a 3 way tie with them.

Fruit, greedy, and Kay then followed her to samac in quick succession, leaving PSV at 0 votes.
Greedy briefly moved back to PSV because he thought samac was claiming inventor or some such, and then others were like "wut" and he moved back to samac.


For the record, the vote movement to me then happened after PSV said she was leaving the thread, and she was no longer in vote-based danger, though there was still some chatter about her.

It's taco time. Taco you later

Unless I get turned into menudo
unyeet Clem

yeet WildZoo
and then fruit moved etc etc, it became a race between me, mads, and fruit, eventually me/fruit, we know how that ended. PSV did not visibly return during that time.

So again, there was never any reason for PSV to vote for me, it's not like she refused to do so when my death would have benefited her, and the argument that she went with the rest of the wagon hopping crew on samac when she didn't on me doesn't hold water when she voted for samac first.
 
Backing up a bit, vampy came in within two minutes of Greedy's vote on PSV and posted this:
can someone explain the PSV votes? im not leaning either way on them rn but maybe im missing something?
Its a compromise vote for me. Its the only wagon one of my strong TRs is on that isn't in fact on another of them. You and Kay arn't voting at all which doesnt help. Pick a vote before date night so I can whip up support if I agree with it. As long as its not on MKG, you, Kay , Me, Fruit, Mads or Zenge

i wanted to do clem but my read was shut down, voted dubz but she will be away and not have the chance to defend herself, so now i’m at a crossroads. i really don’t think its mads and i think fruit is being okay, im not scum reading him enough to feel good with a vote on him. i dont get the PSV vote at all. lissa has been gone, i dont support a vote on you either. same for beans

Ok well i fully explained my process on it and its consistent with my worldview previously expressed. Pick one of the other people not on my strike list and we will murder them instead, I don't feel strongly about you being scum
I *think* the above was more likely directed at PSV because of the last line but it came right after vampy's post so unsure. In any case, vampy said no thanks and went back to clem.

screw it.

yeet clem

A bit later...
Town
zenge
greedy
fruitsalad

Townlean
vampy
mkg
mads

Unsure
Clem
genny
beans

Null
sakura

Scumlean
Lissa
PSV

Scum
samac
Dubz

I talked myself into moving beans so here’s my updated list.

Maybe there's one scum in here. Maybe...

But if you're suggesting this is where all the scum lives, you're woefully misguided.

what would you switch? i think i’d move lissa and psv out and put clem and sakura instead

or lissa and samac actually
I just find that...interesting

vampy was henceforth focused on clem and how hard he is to read, until fruit made this post

i'll restate my earlier comment: i think there's a wolf among PSV, samac, WZ, and genny. i think this is a hit.

i’m down to make a vote on dubz if we wanna go in that direction. i still think losing clem wouldnt be the end of the world but thats just me
She then did indeed vote for me after the chatter increased around my name, and fruit/greedy/kay followed soon after.


Tbh I think this with the backseat defenses of PSV on d2 and holding her vote but not showing much work in evaluating where she was leaning towards putting it is a real reason to be scumreading vampy.
