I will never be able to understand why 3 hours of discussion has to take place in 30 minutes!

Because nobody showed up until a few hours before yeet deadline. I tried to generate discussion and content and it got me yeeted.

 

[PippyPony]

Guess I can celebrate my birthday tomorrow without having to worry about WW. I was looking forward to drunk WW

Ooof

 

[Viscernable]

Wait what the hell is vissy doing, I hate it

You hate someone moving off the joke vote they declared was purely a joke vote and which you seemed to agree wasn’t a great place to vote D1?

 

[holdthemayo]

You're lucky I have a lot of patience and care about the game enough to keep policy yeeting as a last resort.

Answer a question from time to time. Or just enjoy the show. Your choice.

L’oiseau de fer, l’oiseau d’acier,
après avoir lacéré les nuages du matin
et voulu picorer des étoiles
au-delà du jour,
descend comme à regret
dans une grotte artificielle.

L’oiseau de chair, l’oiseau de plumes
qui creuse un tunnel dans le vent
pour parvenir jusqu’à la lune qu’il a vue en rêve
dans les branches,
tombe en même temps que le soir
dans un dédale de feuillage.

Celui qui est immatériel, lui,
charme le gardien du crâne
avec son chant balbutiant,
puis ouvre des ailes résonnantes
et va pacifier l’espace
pour n’en revenir qu’une fois éternel.

That hits me in the soul and I’m mad at myself.

 

[differentiating]

Agreed that what seemed like a sudden attempt at bandwagoning was odd, though it didn't seem like Lawpy was ever in the lead. Vis did express suspicion of Lawpy before, so I can see where that came from (and a lot of their posts have been similar to what I've been thinking), but last-minute changing of lynch votes is always to me.

It also seems strange to me that Strog didn't really change what they were doing and yet the vote swung away from them...

Day 1

Unsurprisingly, it was a slow start to the day on the island. Mora mora applies no matter what. The wildlife sleepily congregated as they awoke (after gathering their snacks for the day - you can't have important meetings without food). While the waffles led them in many directions, there was a nagging suspicion about one ring-tailed inhabitant of the island, who was traveling about foraging for food. Despite her playful nature, the animals couldn't shake the feeling that she was one of those responsible for the recent disappearances.

After much debate, they made the decision to set her adrift to find a new home on a bed of reeds, much as the ancestral lemurs did to find their way to Madagascar originally.

Set adrift is @alleycat03, the ring-tailed vontsira and a vanillager

15 players remain.

They were trying to set up a last minute counterwagon to prevent me from defending

 

[BobLoblaw78]

Yeeted or misyeeted (edit- nm)? I also think role reveal doesn't hurt at the end. Well fwiw, it seems to work for AM and Cray and I would not go away from doing it.

Noooooo alleys i'm sorry

Why did you vote for her?

 

[Animal Midwife]

Why did you vote for her?

He clearly noted it as self-prez.

 

[Lawpy]

Why did you vote for her?

Self prez because the last minute counterwagon on me was suddenly picking up speed

 

[Stroganoff]

Why have you not been producing any content?

What do you mean by content? I just got home around 8:40 PM EDT, and the thread is 8 pages long.

If night time posting is allowed, I'll probably do a massive multi-quote in Notepad replying to everything from Day 1. Just all 10ish pages. I'm actually a very active WW player; just not when I'm genuinely out all day or driving. 🙂

 

[PippyPony]

Ok then I don't know why you're 4-emojis sorry about it before she had even flipped

Yes, it's allowed. Please do that.

 

[differentiating]

Unfortunately not surprised by that flip. Definitely going to take a close look at those on the alley lynch + the waffles towards the end, since I have some bad feelings about all that.

Sorry alley 😢 I hope you have a happy birthday in spite of this!

 

[holdthemayo]

They were trying to set up a last minute counterwagon to prevent me from defending

So I liked this post, because that narrative makes sense, but who were they trying to save by the last minute counter. The wagon was on Alley already.

 

[PippyPony]

He clearly noted it as self-prez.

Also, this question was for Lawp

 

[Viscernable]

Ok yeah no, at this point you're recycling that tone read others mentioned to accelerate a last minute counterwagon on me

Lawpy I was literally the first person to point out it was weird for you. Asked AM if it seemed AI to her since she has more experience with you, she said she needed more data, so I didn’t go there at the moment. Looked at alley, samac, and april as possible votes but they all had things that made me not want to vote there (respectively: kickstarted discussion and also is often sus D1; later posts sounded quite village; and different actions made w/v april/strog and w/w april/strog both look less likely to me). So went with the read I didn’t have village counterpoints on, despite it being just a weak wolf ping.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Also, this question was for Lawp

I'm aware, but the reasoning was included in his alley vote. Why would he say anything different than that now?

@alleycat03, you are in the lead
16/16 voting
Missing: no one

Vote closes at 9pm EDT (~1 minute)

Part of me is interested in the people who avoided the wagons completely if they’re V/V. That was my favorite thing to do as a wolf
I don’t know what to make of the last minute Lawpy wagon though.

My question is why you waited so late to switch your vote, instead of doing it earlier when we discussed this?

 

[PippyPony]

Is this english? Or am I just that tired

 

[Viscernable]

I disagree with this, for the record

I thought that comment sounded like something she said in one of her last wolf outings

Can you elaborate on that? I don’t remember it. Like she said something about how she also wasn’t contributing much/was doing something else sus in response to someone saying such about a packmate? Was the packmate under a lot of vote pressure and she was trying to draw it off?

 

[Animal Midwife]

That's the main reason mayo's in my POE especially with the combined reluctance to say literally anything about the leading wagons except the Strog one "made him uncomfortable but he might be wrong there".

 

[Viscernable]

Indecisiveness is the name of my village game. Parking a vote early as a wolf is easy-peasy, actually trying to find a wolf is hard.

 

[PippyPony]

I'm aware, but the reasoning was included in his alley vote. Why would he say anything different than that now?

Why are you suddenly defending him? That post he made was sketchy. Laying the sadness on real thick, woe is me yada yada

 

[holdthemayo]

It's hard to tell anymore.

I'm not sure who a counter-wagon on Lawpy helps, since a villager was already clearly leading the vote.

 

[Animal Midwife]

I'm starting to feel better about him.

 

[Zenge142]

That hits me in the soul and I’m mad at myself.

Are you actually, or is it like when you were “mad” this time?

I’m pretty pissed at myself. I was convinced Zenge was a wolf and the fact that some vets agreed with me made me even more confident.

 

[WildZoo]

Eh, you often voted rather late while wolfing too

I'm impressed you think I can remember this level of detail

It was in one of the 2 back to back games where she was a wolf. She said something self-deprecating in defense of another wolf, and I brushed it off at the time, but it was a real thing

 

[samac]

Are you actually, or is it like when you were “mad” this time?

I love drunken WW and I took it away from her. I am mad at myself for that. She probably could have got me off her vote if she told me that was her plan for tomorrow.
Just to be clear reacting to night results is NAI for me. I get pretty excited/sad.

 

[BobLoblaw78]

luckily you guys didn’t misyeet an important role, I’m just a vanilla villager

Just read this so disregard my one post. Posts were not updating fast enough

Keep an eye on the people who led the charge to vote me off and who jumped on an easy vote

👍


Wish I would have kept notes like I did last game....made it much easier to keep up with the flow. No time like the present...

 

[PippyPony]

Yikes, I didn't even see that samac comment

We will ignore your self-flagellating

Thank you lol

 

[Zenge142]

The WIFOM you’ve created here for me is out of this world.

 

[Lawpy]

Ok then I don't know why you're 4-emojis sorry about it before she had even flipped

It was sorry out of empathy

 

[BobLoblaw78]

Eh, you often voted rather late while wolfing too

I don't know how you remember these things, but that is why you were nominated!

 

[Lawpy]

So I liked this post, because that narrative makes sense, but who were they trying to save by the last minute counter. The wagon was on Alley already.

Seeing how fast the Strogs wagon dissipated, it was probable the same could happen to alleys wagon.

Maybe they were trying to save strogs and we had a temporarily bussing wolf in play?

 

[Viscernable]

Lawpy. Why would my master plan to protect packmate strog be to move to a wagon that’s THIRD when there’s not enough time for others to move as well? Is that really a simpler explanation?

But like 3 bussing wolves?

Which itself is wrong because you saw me fighting in a heated exchange as village in bioshock which was a lot spicier than a question i was asking WZ, so the tome change argument doesn't hold.
