Well, there's still 9 hours in the day so seems a bit premature.

I know this question wasn't directed at me but to me TME has surpassed Bread in sketchiness - I'm not feeling better about Bread though, TME has just moved more red. And Cubs is right about on par with Bread now

How do you feel about Cubs shading TME earlier?

The Lupin vote seems really off. I haven’t played much with Lupin, so maybe I’m missing something but I haven’t seen anything this game that’s setting off alarm bells. I did think it was kind of weird that she was telling us all how we should think about Cray being suspicious of her, but overall I’m not seeing enough to make her a primary yeet candidate.

It gives me pause though when one of my wolf reads shades another. Like either I should reevaluate Cubs or he knows I’m wrong an is looking to nudge me in the wrong direction.

could be distancing because cubs did nothing with that shade

What do you think about a wolf preferring/not preferring that mayoral powers be split between two people versus one?

It's not something I would attribute to either affiliation in lupin's case. For one, no way to know ahead of time that splitting would be the way kd would go with it. Could have been RNG'd to one or the other, could have led to a run-off like what we had in England, etc. For me it's about optics. People think wolves are less likely to do wacky things with votes, but I've seen wolves do wacky things with votes (and have done them myself).

Bottom line the move itself is NAI for me I don't think cubs' read of it is totally unreasonable, but it's assuming lupin would know the outcome ahead of time.

I actually feel like they're still compatible as w/w. Here are his mentions of TME:

Despite your read on me being based purely off of Dina's, I'm in a semi-similar situation with your read here. I was thinking last night about how super villagey TME's posts usually sound, and then harkened back to RvB. I didnt feel it was enough to really warrant a post about, but since you've brought it up, Im in agreement here.

The post above was made before TME was getting too much pressure, and also wasn't an originally posted thought. Just echoing your read without putting much additional pressure there. Good way for two wolves to distance each other early on without bringing a lot of attention to it.

TME i still agree with Zenge on about that specific point, but as stated thats not enough for me to vote there yet. She also seems to be pretty hardcore defending this morning.

And here he actually walks his red TME read back a little - not willing to vote there, and uses the hardcore defending as an excuse not to vote there, which I've already talked about being a weird reason.

Yeah, I'm not using it as a way to read Lupin, more concerned about Cubs using it as a stretchy argument

[cubsrule4e]

TME, Bread, and Cubs are wigging me out the most right now, and Zenge seems to be an easy target for deflection

Clearly nothing I contribute is ever good enough for anyone. Please explain to me how Dina basically just saying "Cubs doesnt feel right" and then Zenge saying "I trust Dina" is somehow acceptable but me giving a specific example of something that caused me some pause is the most ridiculous thing youve ever heard?

 

[samac]

I didn't feel like it was fishing either. He responded after I did. If anything it would've been samac who was fishing lol.

Yeah, I agree. Zenge did no fishing im just a curious person and I’ve publically mentioned like “oh I get to PM someone daily” or “I break ties”. Particularly the break ties because that puts the power player’s, not mod’s hands.

@samac how are you feeling about cray now?

I’m honestly not sure. I need to go back through last night’s posts, I do know she’s so adaptable though that I have to keep a critical eye. The main reason she got caught in Bioshock was very offhanded.

I feel like you’re expectations are for me to be LateGame!Zenge. I tend to not have much to say in the early game, especially an early game like this one where we don’t have a lot of “who’s pushing to yeet who, and why” yet, because the first day was an election.

That’s totally fair.

 

[WildZoo]

@Animal Midwife how are you reading genny?

It's a feels thing, I understand having a feel on someone but not being able to describe why. I also understand why someone would trust another person's read if that person has a good history reading them. On the other hand, things feel weird when someone tries explaining a read and a vote that seemingly comes out of nowhere with things that don't add up logically

 

[Animal Midwife]

@Animal Midwife how are you reading genny?

I don't have a read on her yet.

Re-evaluating with new evidence isnt walking anything back. In both instances I said that it pinged me, but wasnt enough for me to vote there yet, and added that her efforts to come on and defend seemed genuine. I didnt even bring it up the original point until Zenge did because it was noticeable but a weak reason to fully wolf read her.

 

[dyachei]

april's reads coincide a lot with mine and I kind of like it

I don't know bread all that well so i think im more null than most of you? i dont like that activity picked up only once called out but not sure if that's necessarily wolfy

Just of note didn’t TME pocket you in RvB?

I think he almost gave her a vig shot

Can confirm, only thwarted by RNG lol

Did I not open my Lupin post stating that it was largely based on gut feels, and then showed one instance where I saw something I kinda didnt like? Why are you and dina's feels about me ok, but mine about Lupin arent?

 

[cubsrule4e]

Just of note didn’t TME pocket you in RvB?

Well...yeah. Why do you think I pointed out how it felt similar to RvB, hence Im on alert not to necessarily trust her at this point?

 

[Aprilthearab]

I did the best I could to explain why your logic isn't adding up for me

You're allowed to say you have bad feels on someone, I'm allowed to say I have bad feels too, I'm not stopping you, I'm just using the information to make my own reads

 

[Aprilthearab]

Did I not open my Lupin post stating that it was largely based on gut feels, and then showed one instance where I saw something I kinda didnt like? Why are you and dina's feels about me ok, but mine about Lupin arent?

I think a lot of it has to do with how the reads are presented. I can say that I feel okay about dy, but if you told me to pull quotes and explain why they make me feel that way, I couldn't do it. It's just a feel. I don't have meta to pull from either.

On the other hand, if I was wolfing, I'd feel more inclined to explain myself and find quotes so that my arguments seem more valid. Sometimes it doesn't work out in my favor because it gets too over-explainy or I force myself to pick things apart to justify my reads and the picking apart ends up not making sense or sounding stretchy.

I get that vibe here with your posts. And I already explained how part of your Lupin argument doesn't add up to me

[Aprilthearab]

@samac if you had to move your vote to bread or TME which would it be?

Sometimes it doesn't work out in my favor because it gets too over-explainy or I force myself to pick things apart to justify my reads and the picking apart ends up not making sense or sounding stretchy.

Since you bring this up, Im kinda screwed either way. Because even D1 people expect reads with explanations or I'll get auto-wolf read if I just shrug and say I got nothin'. Then I have a legit read and explain why and it becomes over-explainy and stretchy and that becomes cause for a wolf read as well. So Im not quite sure what to do anymore. Just gotta play how I play and deal with what results.

 

[Dinashadow]

Are you feeling any better about bread?

Not really, but I'm feeling like I have more concrete evidence for TME right now. I've never seen Bread wolf before which leaves me feeling a little unsure too. I remember how he played in England and he was very absent then too, so I guess I'd like to see more content from him before I decide.

TME voting for him is interesting too. Makes it less likely they're w/w

Yeah, I agree. Zenge did no fishing im just a curious person and I’ve publically mentioned like “oh I get to PM someone daily” or “I break ties”. Particularly the break ties because that puts the power player’s, not mod’s hands.

I know. I didn't find it sus coming from you, just that if TME was going to find anyone fishing it should've been directed to you vs zenge.

 

[Aprilthearab]

TME voting for him is interesting too. Makes it less likely they're w/w

Possibly less likely, but not impossible. TME placed that vote out of self-prez and showed hesitation placing it, and also placed it early and said she would be happy to change it if another option came up. It would be suspicious if she didn't self-prez at one point or another

 

[samac]

@samac if you had to move your vote to bread or TME which would it be?

I think they both tend to be low hanging fruits.

Probably bread, though. His return didn’t seem very helpful.
I get the worries with TME but she tends to be a pretty easy misyeet.
She felt off to me early in RvB but I backed off that later. She doesn’t feel the same right now.

i dont think tme really qualifies as lhf

they're here and they're making an effort. I just think that effort it wolfy

I don't see any real solving from that slot

She is always low hanging fruit. She often dies or is yeeted early.

 

[Dinashadow]

@cubsrule4e what are your thoughts on Bread today?

 

[Aprilthearab]

i dont think tme really qualifies as lhf

I do see what Samac is saying though, TME is often seen as suspicious early in the game

 

[Zenge142]

The interactions with cray and AM don’t feel typical.

Can you highlight some of these interactions and why they make you think we’re dealing with wolf!cray?

 

[Animal Midwife]

She's only been misyeeted once. What do you mean by this?

 

[samac]

Now that’s theres 21 pages to be honest probably not. It’s DnD day.

 

[Zenge142]

I’m just trying to get an understanding of what you’re seeing with Cray. So aside from those interactions with AM, and general feels, what are you seeing there?

 

[Aprilthearab]

Oho the living WW dictionary is back to help us

This feels weirdly defensive considering you’re not on the chopping block atm

not that I think it makes you a wolf. Just noting it

 

[samac]

The interactions with AM are not a cause of a read for Cray. I just think they’re compatible.

cray just feels different than village cray. Her analysis felt different than I’m used to. Her intro felt different and there’s a tonal shift after I called her wolfy. That could be more related to the upset-ness she was feeling.
I just don’t feel right about her. I was going back through our RvB PM since I had a lot more stream of consciousness there and I was suspicious of cray one day in the game there too.

Do you have thoughts on Enigma self-prezzing this early?

 

[samac]

I remember so much sus being on her throughout games that actually surprises me.

 

[Aprilthearab]

I'm not defending myself, I was giving an example of my own actions to describe to Cubs why I feel like he sounds weird

 

[Animal Midwife]

I remember so much sus being on her throughout games that actually surprises me.

Does this information affect anything?

 

[cubsrule4e]

@cubsrule4e what are your thoughts on Bread today?

I mean, has he even posted anywhere recently? So I guess the same? He was part of the little mayoral tie fun too, but I was informed by April that that isnt something I should be concerned with.

 

[SportPonies]

Do you have thoughts on Enigma self-prezzing this early?

Not really, I don’t think it’s unreasonable

 

[samac]

Does this information affect anything?

To be honest not really. I just read through her olympics posts (not a lot of them) and they feel similar to here.
Her early self prez vote is also consistent with olympics. Not consistent with when she went down as a wolf, but she knew she was going to go down at that point too so I wouldn’t rely too much on that.

 

[genny]

This feels weirdly defensive considering you’re not on the chopping block atm

I guess I read that post from April differently, i think it sounds much more in line with her village meta.

 

[genny]

I feel like cubs is usually more offensive, less defensive as a wolf.

 

[Crayola227]

Time is doing what we call omgus

No hint of me being a wolf read for them until I wolf read them. Interesting

Being defensive about being browbeaten for my reads early doesn't make me a wolf. It just makes several people here paranoid about reads to the point it annoyed me

I've done more to try and solve this game than half the people in the thread but I get that doesn't matter on sdn

Not loving the guilt trip here, but otherwise good points

 

[TelemarketingEnigma]

i dont think tme really qualifies as lhf

they're here and they're making an effort. I just think that effort it wolfy

I don't see any real solving from that slot

dy, if the vote goes against me today, when I come up village who will you be voting for next?
