Madagascar WWildlife (A Basics Game!) - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Some initial thoughts on the tallies:

- I think there is a wolf between cubs and meats, but they are probably not wolfing together based on d2 tally, though timing might be important. I can't remember which wagon samac was on before she made the tie. In any case, I'm most interested in flipping one of them today
- more confusion on pippy. She was really pushing for that strog vote earlier on, but then stayed on me yesterday? Again probably need to look at context
- Still can't decide whether or not mkg and cubs are compatible.
 
Pippy was really standing out to me yesterday. I’m at work and won’t be able to check in fully till after, but I was mainly waiting to see what happened overnight before voicing this. We’ve had zero indication of roles in this game aside from pippys claim and I just find that hard to believe. I also saw people asking her to share who she watched but didn’t see her respond aside from sharing she watched dubz that one time, did she ever give her list of who and why she chose them from earlier nights? @PippyPony
 
wolf lean
- strog - the "starting from d1 close to lynch" really rubs me the wrong way - it seems like a way of creating an excuse for a "random" vote rather than actually contributing. doesn't help that they've mentioned (multiple times) being around/going to give their thoughts on things and then just disappearing.

village lean
- AM - her fight with pippy this am seemed a little odd, but in general seems to be questioning things and trying to gather info for village
- pippy - also trying to gather info for village, claiming watcher/tracker as a pygmy lemur. That being said, if she doesn't produce any useful info and doesn't get night killed, will reconsider - just can't rule out PRs in this game and don't want to risk losing one of the few if there are. Plus I refuse to believe there are no lemurs in this game.
- vis - wasn't a fan of the late timing of the lawpy vote d1, but has been pretty rational/thinking things out, so inclined to give the benefit of the doubt here
- WZ - also seems to be talking things out, trying to gather info and suss out wolves

not sure
- Bob - originally it seemed like they were dropping votes and posting a lot without clarifying rationale/etc., but they've seemed to be contributing more
- samac - seeming more sketchy after yesterday's kerfuffle to me. claims vanillager but that's an easy claim to make; strange to me that they're acting like it'd be ridiculous to verify. that being said, they did claim a role (common or tailless tenrec) that seems feasible, which is the only reason I'm putting them here and not in the "wolfy" category.
- vmh - their response to vis's lawpy vote d1 was odd, but yesterday made me feel a tiny bit better about them with not voting pippy to self prez given risk of losing PR. I would have slotted them firmly in wolf category if they were claiming seer but pulled that move, though, but they're not.
- cray - didn't have the greatest read on mayo, and tbh their spattering of posts last night didn't really give me much either way on them
- genny - literally have no real read either way because they've been so inactive. may be replaced/modkilled/etc. due to poor activity. seems to be on a lot of wolf-lists for others.
Noting diff's last reads list.

@Cyndia @Animal Midwife @WildZoo

I watched AM night before last. Nothing of interest to report, although caveat there that my results haven't made it totally clear if there's any interference -- it's worded just like "you didn't see anything," not like "you successfully watched xyz and no one visited."

I'm happy to share targets on a slight delay, for various reasons am not psyched about sharing the most recent ones.

There were only two targets at the time of that whole discussion -- the one I shared (Dubz) and the one I didn't want to yet (AM). We're only on D4 now. I also already explained the reasoning for why I chose Dubz so I'm not a fan of you ignoring what I said about it while throwing shade in my direction.

I really don't understand your reasoning tbh. What if you die before you get to share?
 
How do you expect that to help you? It's not like I saw someone kill someone and am purposefully holding that back for multiple days. All it means is that the person wasn't the kill target.
It helps me think about your thought process. Meanwhile, I really cannot figure out why you would be disinclined to share.
 
AM is a good watching choice, I still don't think I was though. I wasn't as active as usual, and I had just led a vote on a villager. Not exactly a top priority wolf kill.
Sorry my target picking process isn't up to your standards. I've been really distracted these past couple of days and I'm doing my best.
 
You said it yourself yesterday, and that's all I'm going to discuss about it. Maybe you should trust that I know more about my role than you do.
Pip, I am 80% convinced you're a wolf, so no I don't trust anything you're saying about it lol

I saw your reasoning on dubz, my wording was unclear but I meant your choices and reasoning for the other nights.

And I’m fine with a delay in sharing, I thought in my mad scramble to catch up for subbing that there had been more nights, so I was bothered that you only shared one set and were so resistant when AM and dubz and samac had asked about your other results. Less bothered now that I realize we’ve only had 3 night cycles. But what was your reasoning on choosing AM at that time, and how do you feel about her now?

Half the roster has been busy/distracted, that doesn't tell me anything about your affiliation. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying that even just looking at a final tally would have indicated that I probably wasn't going to be killed that night. If you're village I apologize, but... it's getting to the point where I don't really think you are.

This has been a quiet game and AM was pushing her wolf reads reasonably vocally and generating most of the discussion. I also thought wolves might stay away from the 3 remaining tied people, especially if there was a wolf in the mix there
 
@PippyPony What was that thing meats said two cycles ago that you mentioned a wolf wouldn't have said?
That she was willing to let herself die over me. I just don't think that's something a wolf says.
Andndndndndnd how are you reading me/Bob?
I don't know why my quotes keep doing that; I'm not fixing it.

V/v right now but I've only skimmed parts of yesterday. Yesterday when I said I was intrigued, it was because he was more chatty than usual
 
Why did you stay on me yesterday after pushing strog on prior days?
Because I had like 100 logins hacked including my bank accounts and kinda sorta spent my available computer time on that instead of WW. Probably would have swapped if I had been here, and definitely would have found a way to be here if I was wolfing.
 
Getting around to some VCA between patients. I dont really care for mayola's voting pattern with one-offs, then the last vote on strog. I was agreeing with diff that theres gotta be a wolf on that vote, and its most likely one of the last 3. Still like cyndia for that, but certainly could be either of the other two. Still village siding mayola overall.

I believe there were two other soft claims. I won't out them b/c they are both still around and shouldn't explain further. No other results posted that I caught from Pippy
 
Oh I also found it interesting that no one except strog took the bait to yeet pippy yesterday, but true to form, I don't know how to interpret my own reaction test :laugh:
That is interesting but can't help you out with that info. I don't like switching votes willy nilly, but have to break with that at some point. Thankfully I haven't seen compelling reason to switch.

I mean they did end up together, so I wouldn't rule out w/w for cubs/meats.

yeet cubs

Still reading the things I missed yesterday but gotta run, should be back a few hours before close
Genny seemed sus to most b/c lack of activity to everyone (I surmise). Cubs input has been good but having doubts not knowing his play and the confusion of midgame sub. Cubs bringing up old Samac sus is valid, but cloudy now that she has been subbed with cindy. With this mess, I am going to look at VA and possibility of bussing on Strog since he had been a likely target for so long. My only problem is that everyone acts like bussing is bad in the same way as voting off the prior mod early is bad. No?
 
Well I dont have a PhD in Wagonomics, but maybe someone else could pull something from this, its all the tallies from D1, where the strog vote died and turned into Alley's misyeet and a quickly building Lawpy wagon.

The more I look at the lawpy wagon the less I like it, Strog self prezzed onto Alley, and Vissy's weird move onto Lawpy gave Alley the lead by 2 votes, effectively protecting him from any possible swaps that could cause a tie.
 
Genny seemed sus to most b/c lack of activity to everyone (I surmise). Cubs input has been good but having doubts not knowing his play and the confusion of midgame sub. Cubs bringing up old Samac sus is valid, but cloudy now that she has been subbed with cindy. With this mess, I am going to look at VA and possibility of bussing on Strog since he had been a likely target for so long. My only problem is that everyone acts like bussing is bad in the same way as voting off the prior mod early is bad. No?
No, there's nothing distasteful about bussing (especially if a packmate is dying anyway). I just personally am not into the style if it can be avoided.

I am not getting the mkg vote now that they are more active but have like visc input. I am not sure what to make of mkg supporting AM, then AM voting mkg. Is that to pocket and to get AM to change vote. Or is this manufactured? It would also really help to have an answer to bussing etiquette. Either AM was breaking etiquette which doesn't seem likely, it is okay to bus or AM village. I need to let that stew some. I just don't see how you could pick wolf 3 days in a row off the little info on D1 (and I can't see packmates be cool with it).

On strog: he said repeatedly he was not wolf??? Did he truly not know he was wolf? He seemed confused on the days it was going on, the impending vote coming, posting past close, etc. I feel like there was a major disconnect going on.

Ngl i was burnt out enough to skip the next game over how the “ew bussing” reactions after basics were so strong it felt like people were basically dismissing the wolf win as being comparable to cheating. Ended up saving me from ggoats so thank you everyone
