I guess that leaves my Poe at wilgy, Bo, JJJ, Dina, and my backup buddy moon

And I do see the familiar vs unfamiliar bias in that but really the only familiar ones left are mayo, Dina, genny, Zenges, pippy

it is kinda weak to not have a read on me whatsoever, given the content i have written both today and yesterday. You are going to be playing with people you're not used to, with different playstyles in champs. I recommend that you try to solve me so your champ game(s) will be easier.

 

[NateTheLesser]

To be fair to mayo, he first cast suspicion of me here. This preceded the wagon, but it came after Zenge had already suggested Dubz and I fit together.

Yeah I was about to point to that post as earlier sus. Though you'd already voted for him by that point, so 🤷‍♂️
(And I didn't really agree with his characterization of your post at the time)

 

[Boquise]

i will read your posts, i think
i am very tired but i am also waiting for a package that is never arriving

[Boquise]

I once as a wolf made a very dramatic display and flip-flopped voting someone I was village reading to save my packmate to make myself seem like a confused and unsure villager who was very torn about my votes, obv that's not what happened here because dubz was a wolf, but the sentiment feels the same re: wolfy theater

I was reacting to what I was seeing in the moment, it stuck out to me, so I made a comment about it. When I did I hadn't remembered you voted dubz earlier so I was under the impression you had flipped your read on her very abruptly, obviously I was wrong

With the earlier dubz vote I think it'd be weird for you and dubz to be aligned and so I'm not really feeling your vote today

thats interesting. I would apply that sort of dramatic flip flopping to a newbie wolf from the mid ´10s tbh
it is so classicaly read as wolfy so you just dont do it

[Boquise]

Dubz/Boquise interactions

Dubz on Boq:


Some of these are direct responses to suspicion Boquise had cast upon her. I think she looks like she is genuinely trying to explain herself to someone that isn't coordinating this conversation with her (i.e., Boquise isn't in her wolf chat).

Boq on Dubz:

Spoiler

^
Dubz search
WildZoo search
v

This isn't all in order because of the Dubz/WildZoo split. Boquise had a somewhat turbulent read on Dubz throughout Day 1, but we should be clear about something: his final vote (the one that he has been catching some flak for) did not come out of nowhere. There was an established trend of suspicion clearly evident in his posts well before that point, and to ignore that is to basically ignore Boq entirely. I don't think this looks like a teammate of Dubz at all.

Conclusion

Boquise is town, and he should not be in people's POEs. That's one of my most comfortable reads in the game, and even if people don't take me seriously right now this better not be forgotten when I am dead. At the very least, take a close look at the full breadth of his dealings with Dubz before lazily dropping a vote on him because he is an unknown commodity to y'all.

you realise that it is now illegal for me to vote you right

it is annoying that some players go "yeh boq will always be in the poe cuz"
i have not read posts from when i left this morning till now, but i bet my socks that absolutely no one has looked at my posts today and my last posts of yesterday and tried to solve them. Which I guess is fine in a small-knitted community, but in a champs setting that is a no go. But yeah it is easier to just say I am poe "cuz". So I owe you to actually read and digest your posts

 

[Boquise]

i wonder if genny ever formulated my wolf agenda and posted those boq quotes.

 

[Boquise]

@Boquise - neutral (V) - This is probably the closest I have to anyone as true neutral, but the rules are the rules. I desperatly want to be your sidekick, but I do find your reads to be a bit hard to follow. Honestly, I viewed the wavering before the Dubz vote as justification for jumping on another wagon if the bus didnt work ou. I need to give more thought to this, especially in context with your view on your own meta being sus to villagers.

What reads are hard to follow? Specify.
What other wagons did I try to make? During the time between me voting and re-voting Dubz, and then to make my final vote, there was ZERO vote movements and I was interacting with ZERO people to influence their reads and votes. What you see is a monologue that I could as well have not shared with any of you and just be silent for some minutes to then make my vote without ever explaining anything. So what other wagons did I try to make? Why dont I vote Mayo when I had 1) established a reason to vote Mayo, 2) following your own logic, wanna see if I can move away from a bus?

 

[Boquise]

gonna catch up now but just want to state that it is a cop-out to say that my reads are hard to follow. My fault in this game to streamline each read and each vote with my thoughts inside my posts. I have been one of the most open with my reads and my progression in this game.

 

[samac]

I suspect mayo has been building his play off of thread mommy's play (conceding the loss of Dubz when it quickly evident that it wouldn't go their way and then signal boosting the theory that I am a teammate for damage control).

This is a fair point and I want to look at when he started at you vs Zenges.

 

[samac]

it is kinda weak to not have a read on me whatsoever, given the content i have written both today and yesterday. You are going to be playing with people you're not used to, with different playstyles in champs. I recommend that you try to solve me so your champ game(s) will be easier.

Oh I mean you’re in my POE. There’s not any “wolf leans” on that list, there’s the POE.

 

[Boquise]

I reread Boq and decided I don’t feel like making a case there now. Maybe I’m too tired from yesterday, maybe I’m leaning him less wolfy, idk.

Mondays and Tuesdays are hard irl and I might not make post minimum because of that.

call me cassandra because i am a psychic

 

[Boquise]

call me cassandra because i am a psychic

tomorrow we will have some more subtle shading and on D4 we will be teased for another boq case but ultimately it wont happen either.

 

[holdthemayo]

Have a momentary tinfoil:

Zenge voting for Dubz because “JJJ seemed like he wanted my read on his packmate” doesn’t actually make any logical sense. He should have voted for ME for that to work out. We call that “affirming the consequent” in fallacy research.

Yes, I know the reasons to think Zenge is town. But if he lives longer than he should, he needs to answer to this.

Answer as in clarification or answer as in you’d be sus of him?

I would buy that he may be holding back information for whatever reason, but starting a full-on D1 bus of a teammate isn’t a zenge move.

 

[NateTheLesser]

I wanna say Mayo is clear but that one is alittle less substantiated.

Can you expand on this at some point?

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'm not going to spend any more time on this. It only matters in 2% of universes and probably well after I am dead.

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I'd appreciate it if anyone that either views Boquise with suspicion or just doesn't have a read on him in general could review his interactions with Dubz and make a case that he isn't town (or, if you decide he is town, say that).

 

[Boquise]

JJJ, could you tell me the differences of your play/approach this game and your play/approach in that syndicate game we played together?

 

[Boquise]

I think my rough ranking at this point is something like this, not entirely ordered:
Zenge
Pippy
samac
mothy
Boq
moonster
JJJ
Dina
Wilgy
genny
mighty
mayo

Why is Genny so low?

 

[samac]

Okay so here’s posts about/with Jay prior to Zenge’s vote throw down for mayo

Only on page 5, but this is the first thing that has really pinged me.

I’ve never played with this person before, but this feels like a power wolf move. Define the village bloc early and make sure it includes you.

All 9 things?

Even the story?

What’s my reception of Gennny? Im not sure what that means.

As to the orher point

There’s a difference between laying out reads and declaring you’ve almost cracked the game if these five people stick with you. It pinged me so I shared.

By page 5 samac seemed like village samac. I have a very good record of reading her, but not usually that early in the game. Not sure why that’s confusing.

What part of tingles on a snap read makes you interpret that as anything concrete or binding?
Tingles, as in a slight prickling sensation. As in, not that strong. Snap read, as in extemporaneous gut read.


You didn’t just say the fact that those maths crack the game. You then laid out the bloc to do it with. Struck me as a power wolfy thing to do. It was the first thing that stood out to me. Not a vote for you. You’ve been very defensive about and attacked me saying I can’t be trusted.

It’s interesting.

I would still like to know what you meant by the genny thing, because I’m not sure what that was referring to.

Genny was saying that me writing a story or flipping a coin for my opening vote between the nominees was NAI.

I was agreeing with her. I would have done that regardless of affiliation.

I said I was going to do the coin thing in the sign up thread.

Admittedly the story was unplanned. But, when the daughters of Mnemosyne offer a gift, who am I to refuse?

It was more, “I’m going to do the same antics regardless of affiliation and gennny is going to point out that people should ignore it from a gameplay perspective.”

I think you took a joke post more seriously than was intended. We haven’t played together before. I also didn’t make many (any?) content posts yesterday because i hadn’t read the thread yet, so it’s understandable.

Unyeet pippy

Yeet Dubz

 

[Boquise]

okay but I'm not a wolf, so that point is moot to me

and by yesterday do you mean last cycle? Because I wasn't wolf reading you last cycle or really wilgy, although I found his reads difficult to follow I kinda just wanted to hang back and get a feel for how ya'll play

Also because I'm busy it's easy for me to come in late and just sheep a zenge reading card read especially when I was feeling weird about dubz' read of me so that's why I did what I did last cycle

I explained to you why it would be discrediting.

So you just randomly popped in and shaded two Dubz voters and then decided to sheep that same wagon tbh

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

JJJ, could you tell me the differences of your play/approach this game and your play/approach in that syndicate game we played together?

Sure. I believe that was Halvosen Ridge. Click for my post history (it's in backwards order).

I "did the things" in that game so to speak. I checked the generic boxes of what JJJ does. But I played with little-to-no edge, and I was a robot apart from the odd joke. There was no spark, and I didn't carry through with my work in any meaningful way. I built a POE advantageous to my team and pushed villagers until they turned on me. Only by about Day 3 did I show any sign of real emotion, when forced out of my roboticism by EnderWiggin and Dyslexicon (and later you).

The basic hunting mechanisms are NAI (GTH reads, doing interaction reviews, trying to establish a POE by finding town reads) -- what was missing was spirit. PSV figured me out pretty quickly as it happens.

 

[Boquise]

I think this is where my gut is at now (tiers alphabetical, not ranked) (also tiers may imply a greater level of separation than there is):

Boq
JJJ
Nate
Zenge

genny
Pippy
samac

Dina
mayo (originally in a lower tier alone, but that felt too severe, even though I'm voting him)
mighty
moth
Wilgy

I know Zenge is super-cleared for some (most?) people based on Dubz sus/wagoning, but without re-reading or seeing a clear case I'm just not quite that confident. And IDK that I could explain all these placements satisfactorily (even to myself). Things could move around as people come back into the thread, too.

explain why I and JJJ are top town

 

[NateTheLesser]

Why is Genny so low?

Mostly for lack of reasons to move her higher. Though there's the one post Jay pulled that looked pockety from Dubz toward her, so that's in the back of my mind for later.

 

[samac]

This hurts me

Unyeet boq
Yeet Dina

 

[samac]

Dubz wagon least to most sus after sitting and chewing on it.
Zenges
Pippy
Boq
Wilgy
Dina

I know staying focused on the dubz wagon is too narrow a gaze I just can’t help but feel it’s a narrow pool in which to find a wolf.

I also keep getting more and more worried about moon and I don’t have words to put behind it. I just am.

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

This hurts me

Unyeet boq
Yeet Dina

Would you be able to describe your impressions about how Dina differs relative to affiliation, if at all?

I have no reason to oppose this vote and have her low in the POE almost by default. But a more qualified read would be nice.

I think I have 18 posts left before the cap lift, so I am going to go dark for a little bit.

 

[Boquise]

I'd appreciate it if anyone that either views Boquise with suspicion or just doesn't have a read on him in general could review his interactions with Dubz and make a case that he isn't town (or, if you decide he is town, say that).

I think she’s a hard read for me because the only time I’ve played with wolf Dina I was a wolf with her in my very first wolf game and the other time I was a 3P and she killed me N1.
@Zenge142 is better served to speak out about the differences. He’s caught her before.

 

[Zenge142]

I SAID 5 BUCKS PSV DIES TONIGHT YOU DIDNT TAKE IT

You can Venmo me

 

[Boquise]

Sure. I believe that was Halvosen Ridge. Click for my post history (it's in backwards order).

with all respect to you, i wont click it because i need to have mental powers to read your posts here in this game and i want to recheck dubz interactions before i sleep. Asked cos I found your approaches in both games to be very similar so lets see what you wrote

so like, what you describe is the same as I see this game. You constructed a poe of easy pushes. You have been super calm and reasonable with you being pushed (which iirc you were in Halvosen Ridge), so I have felt like you have been a robot with the exception of empathising with me. But you also empathised with me in Halvosen.

We have not played many games together, but i have a massive respect for both of your alignments. I know that you as town aggressively construct poes and question a wider range of players on the start go. If you are town in this game, I guess you stopped mid track because a player (Genny or Pippy iirc) complained about you being too much, but that could also be a wolf strategically changing the approach.

 

[DrWilgy]

Can you expand on this at some point?

It's more gut than anything else.

I don't see a scenario where people fall off Mayo to go on JJJ to in counter wagon to a W.

Mayo should've been a fine counter wagon, but then wasn't one for some reason? Like if Mayo/Dubz was W/W, then why did multiple people get off the wagon?

 

[Boquise]

Mostly for lack of reasons to move her higher. Though there's the one post Jay pulled that looked pockety from Dubz toward her, so that's in the back of my mind for later.

but there are several reasons to town read Genny. Have you read my reasons?

 

[Boquise]

This hurts me

Unyeet boq
Yeet Dina

Explain

 

[DrWilgy]

And I get that one is far less substantiated than my other reads.

I still think solving in JJJ/Dina/Moon is optimal today.

 

[Zenge142]

I think she’s a hard read for me because the only time I’ve played with wolf Dina I was a wolf with her in my very first wolf game and the other time I was a 3P and she killed me N1.
@Zenge142 is better served to speak out about the differences. He’s caught her before.

I’ve been wrong before too.

I don’t currently have a reason to village read Dina. Or wolf read her. Squarely in my neutrals.

 

[Boquise]

Mfw I have caught up in the thread and see that no one who susses me have touched my actual posts

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

You constructed a poe of easy pushes.

I get you.

But as of right now, I think there's a pretty good chance that my "POE of easy pushes" wasn't that bad in the end. I just got Dubz wrong, and then she got chopped first, so now I look like a clown, and that's the read people will remember, but when we look back after endgame I'll be able to say "yanno, it wasn't that bad, Jay, give yourself a break" -- because the current POE pool is "easy push" city. Sometimes it be like that.

 

[Boquise]

true true, if you are town and stuff, tho i still think at least 90% of the lhf are always town

What do you make of that everyone who participated in your game yesterday in real time decided that dubz was town, yet dubz got yeeted? I was super close to put scum but thought she had posted well enough to "deserve" a gth town read.

How do you think the wolves saw the thread atmosphere after? Imo they probably felt like Dubz was not in danger? Like the only person who voted her earlier was me and I looked like a madman. So I wonder if there is not some sort of comfy in the wolf thread right after the game, that should maybe have been changed to a subtle panic when she was gaining the votes?

 

[NateTheLesser]

It's more gut than anything else.

I don't see a scenario where people fall off Mayo to go on JJJ to in counter wagon to a W.

Mayo should've been a fine counter wagon, but then wasn't one for some reason? Like if Mayo/Dubz was W/W, then why did multiple people get off the wagon?

Only 2 votes moved off Mayo, one was Pippy moving to Dubz, the other was moonster unvoting and eventually going JJJ. There was never really a viable cw after Dubz got run up.

More significant to me is Dubz not voting there when Mayo was the main cw (she went back to Pippy instead).

 

[NateTheLesser]

but there are several reasons to town read Genny. Have you read my reasons?

I remember you townreading her for her early vibe and outside-consensus takes. And today for tinfoiling you in a way you would expect someone who's town to do. Is that the gist of it?

 

[samac]

I appreciate JJj’s work but sometimes I just like to read interactions in order so I’m dumping this on thread

Spoiler

DEEEEEEEEENA!

hi dubz

hi, how's it going?

🤔

What??

I wolfed with samac long ago and hadn't played with wolf samac until pawwsta where I was blind sided, but I've collected some posts on why I feel like she's village.

The TL;DR I feel like wolf samac is more serious and jumps to pushes earlier and village samac is a little more carefree? (I think that's the best word I can use to describe it), village samac also LOVES to spew about how village she is

Spoiler

wolf! samac in pawwsta, yeah she starts off joking but quickly into the day she starts throwing down the sus







vill!samac in stardeww, much more carefree, , more jokey, more likely to analyze for a while, before hard pushing also lots of use of caps lock, and yes there was a N0 and yes there was a drunk samac so I included a little bit of everything














And then this game

Her posts and tone this game just matches stardeww more imo

I will post about zenge in a different post because I'm going to anime con tomorrow and I'm worried about hitting my 40 posts this cycle 😬

It's too soon 😱 but probably tbh


It is for me!

Anyway I was more referring to wagon composition than specific player meta.


See, mayo gets it!



Did she not do her villageriest villager to ever village thing in PaWWsta? Dang I should have noticed that if so.

@Dinashadow I did actually open your spoiler on samac but I'm not seeing the degree of difference you're seeing between this game and PaWWsta.

why are you village reading me?



she's got a lot of noob energy and also mothy tends to be a bit chaotic



I can't read dubz for ****, so I usually rely on other people to do that for me

But I haven't really liked how she's interacted with me. I don't like that she's village reading me when I haven't earned it, it's completely unlike her



I don't understand your flip flopping on dubz

yeet dubz

seems fun

it's kinda rare that dubz gets yeeted let alone pushed early. This doesn't really fit what you're asking but me and someone else tried to push her incorrectly in CYO II (?) (it was one of the choose your owns)

I'm mostly sheeping zenge's reading card, but I haven't liked how she's interacted with me, because she's usually very paranoid of me. The last time she wasn't was in MHA (when she was wolfing)

I don't understand why you're voting dubz then

Do you find pippy/dubz compatible though?

what are your thoughts on dubz voting pippy and scum reading her?

If dubz flips wolf I think I'll have to go back and reevaluate mothy. Speaking of which @motheatenlysis where you at?

Despite how dubz flips I've liked PSV's contributions this cycle and have been village reading her

Village points: she went and found old posts to village read me and dubz directly opposed those
Wolf point from that I feel like she cherry picked posts to fuel her samac less jokey as wolf narrative. Could be intentional distancing.

Her interactions with dubz otherwise aren’t much, she asked one question about dubz village reading her and then left it until she threw down the vote.
I feel like there isn’t much here to unpair them

 

[samac]

Mfw I have caught up in the thread and see that no one who susses me have touched my actual posts

I thought more about it and moved my vote. Skill issue tbh

 

[DrWilgy]

Only 2 votes moved off Mayo, one was Pippy moving to Dubz, the other was moonster unvoting and eventually going JJJ. There was never really a viable cw after Dubz got run up.

More significant to me is Dubz not voting there when Mayo was the main cw (she went back to Pippy instead).

Hmm... This is a good point. I wasn't paying attention to who it was who jumped. It being Pippy implies at least 50% TR movement meaning less weight.

Mayo can get back on the PoE. I still don't think I'd try to resolve there today.

 

[DrWilgy]

Can I have some thoughts on Moon? Someone talk to me about that slot.

 

[Boquise]

I remember you townreading her for her early vibe and outside-consensus takes. And today for tinfoiling you in a way you would expect someone who's town to do. Is that the gist of it?

yeah
