This is my reminder that I also need to go back and look at Nate tomorrow, not sure how to read him or his earlier votes

I think all the low posters (you and myself included) will be further scrutinized for some of our end of day ramblings... I mean meaningful content additions

I had a lovely time for uhhhhh let's say 87% of it.

And I'm glad I took a break and watched the movie, because I was pretty salty before that. Feels better to leave you all with some encouragement and goodwill than all the annoyance that was building up in my soul. Truly nothing better in WW than being dead.

It is a shame I already used my village brag videos and didn't have time to make new ones though :laugh:
 
Day 1

Princess Peach adjusted her crown and tossed her braid over her shoulder. Well, she would have if she had shoulders. But whether Kirby possessed these joints was really pretty nebulous, when you thought about it. Surely, he had to have shoulders, didn't he? But he didn't seem like he had any bones at all, let alone those that made a shoulder structure. Curious, really.

The makeup adorning his face was spot-on. He looked absolutely stunning, and people complimented him on his skills with a brush and an eyeliner pen. Indeed, when he wasn't swallowing people to gain new looks or new skills, he had really perfected the art of face painting.

But as the day went on, some of the other Kirbies started to voice concern about his tendency to swallow people. He assured them that he just swallowed fries! And the occasional milkshake! And sure, he liked a good cider now and then along with some wings, but that wasn't the same as eating people!

They questioned why he wasn't taking strong stances, and though he argued that he rarely took strong stances this early into things, a few Kirbies remained completely unmoved. One in particular slapped a vote down on the table and sat, stone-faced, watching Princess Peach Kirby for the remainder of the day. He would not be swayed. Not by pleas, not by guilt trips (he'd just returned from a trip and was worn out from travel, tbh), nothing.

In a last-ditch effort, Princess Peach Kirby tried one more thing.

"You know I have a history of choking! Sometimes this crown slides down and just cuts off my air. That's what happens."

Two of the Kirbies exchanged glances. The skepticism was palpable.

"You don't have a neck." said one.
The other, wielding a Webster's dictionary (where had that come from??), brought it down over Princess Peach's head, smashing that royal-Kirby back to his home planet.

The Kirby looked at the dictionary askance.
"'bout all this thing is good for, those people at Webster's are hacks." he murmured, tossing it aside.

@WildZoo, Princess Peach Kirby, who was...
mafia
 
Night 1

Kirby adjusted his hat for what felt like the 80th time in the last 30 seconds. It was a great look - green was really his color, it brought out his eyes, but the hat was much too large for him; when he placed it on the ground next to him, it made up almost half his diminutive height. That takes some balls to pull off.

He knew about being ballsy and having a sharp eye, though. He'd taken this hat from Luigi, who always had to keep an eye peeled for lurking ghosts he might have to vacuum up. Those specters don't reveal themselves easily. He was on the lookout.

He'd honed in on Princess Peach pretty quickly. Something about her just felt off, though he wasn't sure exactly what. He had brandished his vacuum at her, watching her sweat, and offered to vacuum the sweat - and her - up, but she didn't take him up on the offer. No worry. He could support a good dictionary bludgeoning too. As long as she was gone, that was what he cared about.

He was riding a high after vanquishing a baddie and all the support felt. That green hat seemed even more vibrant after so many words of affirmation - and how convenient that when it was time to rest, he could just pull the brim down over his eyes for quick and easy darkness. The sheets and blankets - green, of course, tucked snugly around him. He smiled and lowered the hat over his eyes. He'd done well. He was proud of himsef. Perhaps tonight would be his night.

The sun's rays warmed his still, cold face in the morning. He was gone. But his smile remained.

@potentialsheltervet, Luigi Kirby, and a...
vanilla townie
 
Sad to (correctly) reverse my read on PSV only to have them die overnight, but oh well. Was also expecting JJJ to die instead, but IDK what all the possible PR interactions were, plus he did have votes on him. Suppose I’ll read the setup fully today.

If Dubz is mafia, I suggest giving little-to-no credence to votes. Literally who cares about them. They are the single easiest tool for mafia to manipulate a game in their favor (just ask me one game ago).

Assess the substance of suspicions instead.

Zenge and PSV both look wonderful from a mafia flip. Votes are meh, but they both really developed their suspicions in a way that I think was true (and unnecessary for any would-be busser).

This pinged me last night. Could it be a fundamental disagreement about the potential value of VCA?

Sure.

But to me it reads more like an attempt at damage control.

I mean really? PSV pushed Dubz early I actually said in my role Pm I bet PSV dies tonight it seems like the most obvious choice.

I get it. It's controversial to say "votes are stupid, I don't care about them". That's how I really feel though, within reasonable boundaries. I think people vastly overweight votes and it's why bussing ever works at all. I just used that rationale to win the last game.
 
To expand on Wilgy's vote being a bus-friendly vote:

It was a high-leverage tie breaking vote on a controversial wagon (at the time the vote was placed) without any history established to support that vote. It is very similar to my StardeWW 2 vote for mighty in that respect.

Wilgy has seemed town at face value, so I am not asking for pitchforks. But at the least I am not awarding town credit for that vote.
