Tally pls

I'll scroll to see if i missed it

 

[genny]

Also I am very sad that I missed the heavy whipping Lawpy discussion. That seemed really important

 

[Zenge142]

No. You put me in the tie for the lead. Literally 12 minutes ago.

How are you reading Pippy?

 

[PippyPony]

3 way tie for one vote count and you broke it. still just semantics but didn’t like the tie.
the fact that alley just broke it toward stroganoff is interesting though.

Is there a reason she shouldn't be voting for Strog?

Thanks! I support the tally!shorty

 

[WildZoo]

That post, in my opinion wasn’t calling me wolfy.
I read it as saying she was being cautious because I have this reputation for wolfing well once. That’s a fair statement in my opinion.

@WildZoo quote didn’t work cause it was empty of exposition I guess

It is a fair statement, I just remember you responding more with mild exasperation rather than "yeah that's fair" when it has come up in the past. Just noting it.

 

[samac]

How are you reading Pippy?

Nothing in particular stands out right now.

Is there a reason she shouldn't be voting for Strog?

Not that I know of but she seemed to be wolf reading me so moving to strog as a self prez move without any exposition when it was a 3 way tie was an interesting move and I don’t know whether to move her wolfy or village.
Day 1 is the bane of my existence.

 

[samac]

It is a fair statement, I just remember you responding more with mild exasperation rather than "yeah that's fair" when it has come up in the past. Just noting it.

It usually involves comments like “you can’t make it to end game!” not “eh you seem village but I’m being cautious for now”

 

[differentiating]

diff voting there doesn't feel very comfortable to me, but I still have him in my neutrals.

*her, as an fyi.

I read it similarly. I also didn’t like Dubz retaliating to alley but I can see why the reasoning would have legitimately pinged her. Alley’s pinging me, too, but I’m wary of falling into availability bias of looking too hard at the people who first started posting content (feels like sus often falls on them by default as no one else has posted something particularly AI at that point). I also just appreciate that she kind of kickstarted the content this thread when it was otherwise very sluggish and don’t want to vote her D1 for that.

Agreed. I can see where they both might've been coming from, which might be why I'm inclined to just keep an eye on them for now.

 

[Lawpy]

What are your thoughts on others outside of me and WZ? Are you reading alleys neutral?

 

[Zenge142]

This attempt to shade AM for a weird reason followed by a deflection when pressed on it didn’t stand out?

Spoiler

Not sure how often AM votes for someone active like you as a D1 salt vote. That seems more in line with her w/w voting style to me.

Okay back up 50 miles. When have you ever seen me bus D1?

Why are you still on your salt vote?

Speaking of shade 😛

Lawpy's a mister.

 

[Lawpy]

@mkg323 @holdthemayo would like to know your thoughts as well

 

[samac]

It obviously didn’t if I didn’t comment on it. If I think something is suspicious I’ll call it out, not hold on to it to question someone.
Is there a reason you decide to bring it up now instead of when you noticed it and as a question to me?

 

[PippyPony]

Don't hug react me @Zenge142, I don't want your emoji pockets

 

[genny]

Lawpy's a mister.

Glad you clarified. I thought you were referring to diff with that vague pronoun

 

[differentiating]

What are your thoughts on others outside of me and WZ? Are you reading alleys neutral?

Their convo with AM originally felt village-y to me, but their more recent posts have them in a more neutral category in my mind. Could honestly see them going either way.

Pippy seems like they're trying really hard to find something suspicious, but questioning things to the point of absurdity can certainly be a village play to draw out more info, so I don't read it one way or another.

Reading AM as slightly village with the way they're gathering info.

Nobody else has really said/done much that's stuck out to me thus-far.

 

[differentiating]

Lawpy's a mister.

Oops, sorry - with the sentence structure I thought the "him" was referring to me.

 

[PippyPony]

"trying to find something suspicious" "encouraging discussion"

> kind of the point of the game

 

[samac]

@mkg323 when you wolfed in England you popped in made minimal posts and made excuses where you attttttttt?

 

[genny]

How are you reading samac right now?

 

[Zenge142]

It obviously didn’t if I didn’t comment on it. If I think something is suspicious I’ll call it out, not hold on to it to question someone.

I don’t bring up every little thing that pings me, especially D1. But since I’m on your vote I’m re-evaluating you as you’ve been posting more. You’d been having a back and forth with Pippy when I asked so it seemed like a good opportunity to get your current thoughts.

I don’t think the summoning power works as well without all caps

 

[Zenge142]

I’m actually feeling better about her with her latest posts and am thinking about moving off. I don’t feel great about her response to my question about Pippy though.

Still overall feeling better about her, and I’m not sure where to move yet.

 

[Aprilthearab]

Sorry still super busy not caught up

Quick question, are people on Strog because he hasn't shown up still or are people on Strog because he did show up and he's being wolfy?

 

[samac]

Fair point.
To be honest with you though day 1 is the hardest for me. I have a hard time picking up on things without any hard data with flips. I always feel like I’m flailing blindly.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Sorry still super busy not caught up

Quick question, are people on Strog because he hasn't shown up still or are people on Strog because he did show up and he's being wolfy?

He already showed up twice.

 

[Aprilthearab]

He already showed up twice.

And those two times were enough to wolf read him or?

 

[genny]

Oh. I was thinking of joining you. I thought her vote for alley just seemed retaliatory.

I'm not voting for him because he's an easy misyeet who hasn't played in a while, but his contributions thus far have not been particularly inspiring

 

[holdthemayo]

@mkg323 @holdthemayo would like to know your thoughts as well

Catching up, rounding page 4 into 5

 

[mkg323]

Also, I don't know what it says about me that while everyone else is thinking about Madagascar's flora and fauna, my brain keeps bringing this up:

Spoiler: gif

That is what I thought of too, and I'm very disapointed im the only one here who changed their avatar to a Madagascar character.

Just what are you trying to say about pigeons, here?

Spoiler

Spoiler: flying. rats.

@mkg323 @holdthemayo would like to know your thoughts as well

well tbh Alley is giving me alarm bells rn, and Alley/Zenge especially interests me, first she defends him from the salt vote, then follows the vote onto samac (before moving to Strog for self prez). Diff interests me, especially for going after Lawpy for his tone. I'm not sure if she's an experienced player who hasnt played in a while or if she is new, but if she is new, I'd actually give her village points for this, because I dont think a noob wolf would go after lawpy d1. Its been such a quiet D1 its kinda hard to read people tbh, and I'm crap at reading Samac and Dubz so I'm going to hold off on them.

I called her out on a few things that felt weird prior to her voting me, it really felt retaliatory?
I didn’t call you here to misyeet me, thanks.

Well to be fair mine haven't been either lol

Like I said I have not caught up so I haven't seen any of his posts thus the question

 

[mkg323]

Sorry still super busy not caught up

Quick question, are people on Strog because he hasn't shown up still or are people on Strog because he did show up and he's being wolfy?

So i think initially it was a joke vote from vissy? but then people actually started hoping on it. not a fan tbh he hasnt said much

 

[Zenge142]

Oh. I was thinking of joining you. I thought her vote for alley just seemed retaliatory.

I’m trying to remember what she was like in Goats when she was wolfing. She’s reminding me more of her England play though.

 

[PippyPony]

Well to be fair mine haven't been either lol

Hmmm

 

[PippyPony]

Yeet Strog

 

[samac]

Hello!! Bonjour. Catching up on this game thread. 🙂

Your entire meta is a joke.

Oof, I gotta drop off recycling, then go eat. I'll try to binge this entire thread when I get back home this evening and...be engaged in the gameplay.

D1 vibes.

For anyone wondering this is the entirety of strog’s post history.
@Stroganoff im summoning you now. Lots of time for recycling and food. How’s it goin’?

Hmm interesting point about diffy because i kinda read the opposite in that it isn't AI even if they go after me, since noob wolves (or noobs in general) are a bit more authentic in how they read tone, because they don't have metas to work with. It doesn't lean them village or wolf but it makes the tone reads a bit more interesting

Diffy played 2 games last year i think. The 2019 winter noob game and a game after that. I think she was a convert in her noob game but has generally pretty good analysis as village.

Eh the comments on WZ and samacs read a bit hedgy to me

 

[Viscernable]

Sorry still super busy not caught up

Quick question, are people on Strog because he hasn't shown up still or are people on Strog because he did show up and he's being wolfy?

I just joke voted him and don’t have a serious vote to replace it with.
