Madagascar WWildlife (A Basics Game!) - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Whatever my affiliation, the vote was an obvious joke, so the reaction to the wagon is odd when it is clear that at least one of the votes probably wasn't staying there (barring zenge becoming wolfy). The whole just feels off.

I'm also side eyeing lawpy a bit for asking about the reasoning when, again, my vote was obviously a joke, and I'm sure he already knew the other two were salt. Felt like posting just to post rather than to actually ask a necessary question.
Maybe it wasn't obvious to me which is why i asked?
 
For coming in 5ish hours into game I’m alittle shook it’s not even 2 full pages.
Shook that the thread length is too short for game length/time left to yeet close.
Yeet diff

cause my brain didn’t go there the entire time I’ve known this game has been planned but now it’s there and I don’t think I can escape. I can never forgive you for this.

Makes joke vote.

Not sure how I feel about that. Let’s see where this goes.

I was shook. I’m surprised I didn’t come into 5+ pages, but if you think a joke makes me wolfy you don’t know me very well.
 
I’ll point out which of Dubz’s posts pinged me after I eat lunch
Not sure where my photo went, but here ya go

anyways, I’m back now and headed to the airport
 
I got a slight ping from Dubz’s posts but I don’t know what exactly rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise, Lawpy sounds like his village meta but nothing else has stood out to me so far.
I'm getting the same D1 vibe from Dubz as I did D1 last game where I thought she was wolfy (but wasn't yet a wolf) so I see what you're seeing but I'm not going to get hung up on it
 
Because so many piling on very early seemed wolfy. Like I get wanting to get the salt out, but since there’s little dialogue and vote switching thus far, I’m expressing that I don’t think Zenge is the right person to get a D1 yeet unless he does something actually wolfy
I don't intend to stay on my salt vote, there's still time in the day

Oh god I did not read carefully enough to realize we had to actually figure out who to eliminate in the next few hours
 
Good morning fronds. Y'all seem a little salty :thinking:

yeet zenge


for judging my microwaved eggs
These two posts were the ones that made me go “hmmmmm?” And pinged me. The Rihanna post was clearly a joke and didn’t ping me the same way.
I realize this, but that wasn't my point.
All I’m saying is that your first few posts seemed off and you jumped on the leading vote for a joke reason. Wolves tend to blend in and not call attention to their votes, and they can have “joke” reasons for a vote as well. I know that I’ve made it clear that I do not want to yeet Zenge on D1, and I’m glad it appears that others are in agreement

Did Dubz’s vote, specifically, feel wolfy to you, then? Since the other two votes were placed when there were 0 or 1 votes on him so I can’t see how they would be piling on

Yes, Dubz seems the wolfiest. AM and April had actual reasons to salt vote Zenge from the previous game, but Dubz was a wolf with Zenge last game, so I think that’s why she used a different reason to “salt” vote him and try to blend in. That’s why I called it out and said it seemed weird
 
Since we have less than 4 hours left until the yeet deadline, it’s definitely time to drop my salt vote on Vis. So far, I like her D1 posts

What do you like about them?
She seems to be contributing and I like her logic and questions in the few posts so far. She’s also doing PbPA like cray. Would like to see some more content and less fluff, but I don’t get any pings from her and I don’t see any reason to keep my salt vote on her

All three were jokes so I'm really not seeing where your pings came from tbh

Placing a vote that puts someone in the lead for a reason that is absurd does not really fit the definition of blending in

It also seems a bit odd to me that Samac had a joke vote so late in the yeet cycle. Would like to see some more substance from her

Not anyone really standing out as someone I want to flip yet. I’m getting nervous about whether we’ll be able to find anything particularly AI when we still have just just 3 pages with most of us only having a few posts. I kind of feel that sus is defaulting to alley because she is one of few people who have made more content posts and most people are just flying under the radar. I don’t agree with her reasoning but I understand wanting to get discussion going quickly on D1 and hopping on even the slightest ping you get. There was no real content yet when she first posted that. She’s also been misyeeted early pretty often so I want to get more data before going there.
 
Now I get to wonder about whether wolf!alley picks me of all people to place in her wolfiest bucket d1. Hmmm.
Do you think it’s outside of village!Alley’s meta to get pinged by you for your joke vote? Honestly this whole exchange between AM and Alley read as village/village to me.
When Zenge is village, he’s a strong villager IMO. I don’t think it’s a good idea to yeet him day 1 based on salt.
Obviously that doesn’t mean much since my current vote is on Vis because of saltiness, but we have hours left until yeet.

Okay, but then why say this if you're aware it's a non-issue at this point?

It's 3/16. Who are you wolfreading on the vote?

Dubz is the wolfiest imo but that’s just because she had slight pings to me, as I already mentioned. Not enough to justify voting there yet, but I’m keeping an eye on her

Also, it’s 3/16 people total, but it’s 3/8 of the people who are currently voting. I can see a few people checking in at yeet deadline and just voting on the leading wagon without justifying, and that leads to a Zenge yeet even though he has *only* 3 votes right now.

Yes, and Vis is 2/8 of the people currently voting. Are you not worried the same will happen to her?

It’s possible, but I’m also not unwilling to unvote Vis and hop on somebody else that seems wolfier later on. I can’t control who is on zenge’s vote, but I can point out that too many people piling on makes it seem like an easy misyeet, so that’s what I did.
 
I was shook. I’m surprised I didn’t come into 5+ pages, but if you think a joke makes me wolfy you don’t know me very well.
It wasn’t just a joke it was a joke vote. But you are right that I don’t know you as a player that well.

It was a joke vote in my first couple hours on the game with <2 pages total of content and maybe 1 real vote on the board at the tome.
I also salt voted cray twice in England for the lulz.
 
I’m alittle interested that you seemed to be noticing stuff about alley around the same time I did, your first post responding to her came 3 minutes after mine.
What are your current thoughts on Alley and Dubz?
 
Alley is giving me the tingles, that first post about Lawpy felt like a pocket attempt and her defense of “omg we can’t yeet Zenge day 1!” Felt like a pocket attempt on you.
You reading z and lawpy village, then?
 
You reading z and lawpy village, then?
Not necessarily. I’m overall pretty neutral on them, if alley flips wolf though I would be inclined to lean them village because I don’t think she’d come out swinging to talk up wolves in the first 2 pages.

I have no clue, though I don't recall her being pinged by my d1 posts in previous games. I didn't say it was outside of her village meta though. I was considering whether or not she would pick me as her d1 push as a wolf.
 
Like the substance I had questioning you?
Still not a lot of actual substance, and I feel like I adequately explained already and answered your questions. The joke vote felt off, and I feel like you had actual suspicions you could’ve acted on, but instead you decided to post a joke vote. Like why did you throw so much sus my way and then go off in a totally different direction and vote for diff?
