Kirby - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
The game is dead. Is it just folks at work? I mean no offense to those who’ve had no time. I just want to make sure we remain engaged. It could be coming this evening; hopefully so.
I’m 8am-10pm tonight. I’m happy to engage in real time discussion but don’t have thread review in me.

No pressure, that's way too much work for a living breathing human. I'd appreciate if you could tell me what you think of my mothy review a bit ago. You'd commented that it'd be impressive if mothy is mafia (and that's true!), but did you find the argument compelling?

Answer whenever you feel like. Lawpy says rest pls.
 
Dubz/moonster interactions

Dubz on moonster:


village
wolf
village
village
village

Pippy, mayo, moon, samac are my focus atm. Idk if that's in order, but top choice would be...where I'm voting.

I'm saving my last pre-EOD post for a couple hours from now but I'll be lurking 👀


Not much happening here. moonster got one of Dubz's four wolf reads GTH, and it was the same four listed in the following post. It's pretty token and doesn't make me feel anything. Those that care about "rule of three four" might be into it.

moonster on Dubz:

I counted 5. You have a decent chance of surviving. :watching:

On mobile again and doing a little rereading, PSV’s “wolf on Pippy” comment stood out to me, as well as all the replies to it. Initially I thought PSV was wolfy for it (felt too early to say and weirdly shady), but given the range of replies (mostly questioning/disagreeing), I wonder if it’s more likely a wolf is somewhere in the crowd instead. (There was one interaction I thought had the potential to be W/W, with mighty, in post #284.)

I did like genny and WildZoo’s replies to PSV, though. And there were a couple other PSV posts I didn’t like, but that might be confirmation bias.

Sorry to be kinda vague; I didn’t see an easy way to multiquote from bookmarks, and I wanted to note down my thoughts before they got stale. I will elaborate more when I’m back on desktop.
I know I'm too late to play, but I wanna, so:



Scum
Town
Town
Town
Town

Scum
Me
Scum
Town
Scum

Scum
Town
Town
Town
Scum

When in doubt, I went scum. I probably need to ISO Zenge and WildZoo especially, I feel like the Kirby icons and yellow sidebars are confusing me.

Unvote mayo

Caught up for now, need to do a couple quick chores and then I’ll be here until twilight. While catching up, mayo has been trending up for me, and JJJ has trended slightly down. Mayo is giving content, feels decent; I noticed a couple posts from JJJ where he used a lot of words but didn’t say much IMO.

The WildZoo wagon is surprising and has had some interesting movement. I feel some trepidation about it, but not enough to oppose it. (Then again, when I’m town I’m always a little shocked by wolf flips, even when they’re caught or claimed. Like, wait, you mean there are baddies here? LOL. I think Pippy called me naive, which yes, I can be.)

Okay, but next time please ask nicely. :shy: I can pull some quotes from mayo and JJJ. Not sure I have more to say about the WildZoo stuff; I mostly just have feelings and didn't necessarily have anything specific in mind (other than "wow, 7 votes is a lot!").

PSV is the only one I feel like I had any solid pings on, mostly from early in the game. I can grab those posts if you'd like.

WildZoo and Zenge were more IDK scum picks, and TBH they're still IDK. Doubt I'm gonna have time to ISO them and do anything else before twilight (and even so I probably wouldn't finish), so I'm gonna prioritize other stuff, sorry.


The two mutually mafia read each other GTH (granting moonster's reads arrived after the "game"). There's a decent amount here, and I somehow have nothing to say about any of it. I might just be tired; I just finished teaching my last class of the day. But all of this seems vaguely "fine" without being "clearing", so I just kind of shrug.

If I squeeze hard enough I can say it's a little odd that the only comment about Dubz from moonster preceding the GTH vote was a positive comment (green). So I'm not sure where that came from, and I could see her feeling the urge to write "scum" for her teammate to reciprocate the distance Dubz previously provided with her own GTH read. Take that with many grains of salt.

Conclusion

I wouldn't clear moonster at least, so she remains a POE prospect.

I just got out of a full day of surgeries, so speaking for myself, yes work is a factor.

About to head home and then start catch up at that point

So dubz interactions about mothy to me are overall NAI. Dubz has a predilection to protecting noobs as a wolf or a villager, whether partner or not. If moth is a noob villager and she’s wolf and can drive the vote on someone else i think she willl.

That being said mothy’s lack of dubz comments is concerning. Noob wolves often forget to interact with their packmate a or overinteract. I’m not sure what to do with that.
 
I will say that from what I skimmed very rapidly in between procedures earlier, I am still comfortable with my vote. In my reread yesterday, I saw a lot of inconsistencies in Dr Wilgys lists compared with the actual things he was saying, And it appears that. Has continued today. The reads list should match the rank list.

Apologies for punctuation errors - I'm doing voice to text ATM
 
I also agree with genny's comment about some pretty strong interlinking of JJJ and dubs yesterday, and I believe he will be a question until we yeet him, so I am also fine with the vote going there
 
Dubz/genny interactions INCOMPLETE

Dubz on genny:

That's not how you get your reading card back, gennard

I asked because Zenge doesn't usually vote that early so the fact that he did to my mind meant there must be something pretty significant pinging him. Included genny because she hadn't talked about pippy at that point.

Ah I missed that post, happens on mobile

Oho, same wavelength as genny, that seems promising

village
wolf
village
village
wolf


genny on Dubz:

That's because Dubz is wolfing.

Uh oh.

Is Mayo where you’d vote if you don’t have to worry about self pres?

that doesn't sound like wolf!dubz. she's patient and will read packmates as needed.

what even is this

it's mayo vs. dubz right now

vote dubz before you lose your good seat on the bus


INCOMPLETE

I haven't actually assessed any of this yet. I am starting to pass out at my desk, and I need a break. I'm posting this anyway so I don't have to compile the posts again. To be completed later.
 
In what way?
At that point, I think it's fair to say that the Dubz wagon wasn't going to evaporate. One way to approach that situation as a teammate, since it'll look bad to try to steer the yeet elsewhere, is to shade your partner while also tying someone else to them. Mayo's push of a Dubz/JJJ world fits that mold for me, and it seemed to be based on them having the same GTH reads on low posters, which isn't that compelling to me on its own. If it's a real worldview I expect that Mayo will be fleshing it out today.
 
I am also speaking off the cuff here, But I think that if there is a desire to figure out moths affiliation for sure, we should consider voting out moon monster, as they were the first one to bring up moths absence as being suspect. I believe that would be a more useful test than trying to figure out what dubz would do about a noob.

However, as you can see from my list earlier, I have both of them in light green, so I would rather focus on the 2 reds and one yellow in my list before even going down that path.
 
I will also explain why I have Boq in yellow: he reminds me a lot of Lupin, which means he gets to stay yellow pretty much regardless of what he says.

His interactions with Dubz yesterday did not strike me as obviously w/w, but I get a very calm vibe that seems highly reasonable but also reads cold killer, and I doubt I will be comfortable with a clear read there until he is dead and confirmed.
 
I really felt JJJ was pushing me to read Dubz in a way that felt like “How are you reading my packmate???”
Did you feel like anyone was trying to steer you toward a town read?
 
To be clear, my suspicion of mothy has nothing to do with her being a noob, or with Dubz's handling of noobs. Best summarized it's that the two of them town read each other and sort of blamed PSV for it.
 
Would appreciate your perspective of my mothy review. Thanks in advance, NateTheMoster
Why the mothy one?

I know PSV was repping a stronger mothy scumread if Dubz flipped wolf, so I want to give that legacy some attention today.

I'm torn between what strikes me as a legitimately suspicious interaction alongside PSV's views and the fact that mothy just looks like an innocent fluffy friend on her own power. So sorting that will be nice if it can be managed.
 
By the way, we have another champs representative in the ring with us. @DrWilgy has been selected to rep The Syndicate.

Sure. She's kind of a chaos gremlin at baseline, sometimes on purpose sometimes not. But I'll give it a shot.
 
(I had a tiny scum ping from her yesterday for a really dumb reason so I'll probably only share it if it turns out to be true)
 
Dubz/mothy interactions

Dubz on mothy:

There are some interesting moments here. When mothy was a wagon (4 votes), Dubz had not commented on it. PSV noticed, asked/accused, and Dubz's reply was the first post in the spoiler. PSV felt this might imply Dubz was protecting mothy (by directing attention to Pippy instead). I cannot really speak to that, but it's a valid possibility.

The orange things stand out. Dubz asked PSV for a confidence level about reading mothy as mafia. PSV responded "50/50, but it's roughly the best I have". Dubz took the "50/50" part of that and went with it, expressing she would have looked more into mothy, but not if PSV is only that confident. That's not a great look for mothy. PSV is being given an unreasonable burden of confidence on Day 1, and Dubz used that as an excuse to not only avoid the mothy wagon, but to not bother even taking a look.

mothy on Dubz:


I mean a trend emerges here.

Dubz town read mothy, at least in part, because PSV wasn't confident enough about suspecting mothy.

mothy town read Dubz because PSV suspected her and Dubz defended her.

PSV is being blamed on both sides of this dialogue for their respective town reads, and now PSV is dead. I don't think that means nothing, and it should be discussed.

Conclusion

There are concerns here. I don't pretend it's some kind of slam dunk, but I think there's good enough reason to view this doubt that vibe reading mothy as "noob town" is not good enough at this stage of play.
You're giving my wee lil' mothy brain way too much credit here. My game play strategy has largely either been "feel way too attacked/provoked, cry, rage quit/want to rage quit" or "give too much information about my role, panic when not backed up, speak in German for an entire day because I can literally think of nothing better to do and hopefully it at least confuses some wolves".

ngl, speaking in German was at least fun while the mods tried to find a sub for my partner.

I had a "work day" for school which meant that I spent it setting up my fish tank, at the gym with boy (he kept me there almost 2 hours! the abuse!), and getting some meals made for the week.

and they thought we'd use it to study lol.
 
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.
Reads a little as "aww how sad we had to kill PSV", slight wolfy marks for this

yeet boq

I agree a 7 person wagon might have some beep beep and I don’t think it’s pip or Zenges.
I like this vote. Way to pick a strong fight early, high quality samac, you love to see it

Dubz deserves a pat on the back for the vengeance pocket after last game and for her part in making us look paired. I expect I'll be dealing with that all day, and that's fine. Them's the breaks.
She is very good, but this did not sway my feels. It could also be read as good (but sad) self-awareness that a high risk team rocket-esque strategy didn't pay off.

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.
Does that role PM say m-a-f-i-a at the top? 😛

(Kidding, obviously)

Do you want a 35 gallon tall with a really nice filter? I thought for a while that I would get into fish keeping until I realized it's for people who are not lazy af

lol 🤣🪦💐

I would love to say yes but I have a limit, no tanks over 10 gal. in my apartment. It’s almost ready for my Betta (Sashimi) and his snail friend Kata. I need to file off some sharp edges on the hut I got him and add some dark rock to tone down the bright blues.

I just noticed that my greens here are different. All greens are actually supposed to be the same, except for moth, moonster, and Dina, who are a somewhat more yellow-green.
 
I'm interested in you repeating it. If you don't mind.
FWIW, I have the post in my bookmarks, to save JJJ a post and give me another. Or if you're specifically looking for something in the repetition, that's fine, too.
