Look at his like pattern. Most recent is on Pippy's vote for Strog today.
Hmm

Ok i'm confused. I was thinking mayos didn't like the Strogs vote and while he said he was reading him absent, his opposition to the Strogs vote and repeated "why Strogs?" questions suggested he was village reading him. Which looked like his basis for his wolfread of you.

But maybe he changed his mind, but i'm now confused what's going on.

@holdthemayo pls clarify and share thoughrs

Hmm i can agree with this. How are you reading samacs?
Three people that I like their (input usually) was off. Samac was one of them. I would have to review her posts, but iirc, her posts seemed more reactions and vague. I like that she is usually hunting and brainstorming--gives me something to upvote/downvote but gets the process started. I don't see much of that this time- more magically calling people (funny stuff), reactions and emotional woe over alley (seemed too much). I wouldn't put stock in stupid wolf comment but just one more ping. Then I like the theory of manufactured issues btwn her and pippy feeling unauthentic so pulling one string can lead to another flip. (which is similar to a theory of my own, but I will hold onto it for now since many of mine need help, lol- remind in a day or two and I will share)

Addendum: I usually would vote to keep productive people around for content but feel like there has been less- disregard if things have changed as I am currently catching up
 
I told you all today would be ****ty ahead of time and I’m basically running around like a chicken with my head cut off and it is what it is I guess.
I get off at 7:30, and if I slow down I’ll be back. If you all flip me today it is what it is I guess. Just so you know joking having fun Samac is my village meta I’m a little annoyed being myself is getting people on me.
but when it’s all said and done Zenge and genny pushed me and set off the 2 wagons yesterday, which is interesting.
When I flip village that doesn’t clear pippy, either.

This is fair. You are definitely the weaker of my two reads between you and Pippy. I’ve gone back and forth on you a lot. Especially with Pippy’s read of you. How are you feeling about Pippy now?
 
Reads and quick thoughts? I know you said you're drafting a long post but would like to hear some thoughts even if brief. I think you voted MKG before self prezzing
Oh, my initial vote for MKG was 100% personal and 100% not game-related. There's a running joke that she's Canadian (which you would know if you actually got on voice chat and spoke 😉 ). But at that time I had just gotten home with < 30 minutes before D1 close.

So I don't have reads or actual substantive input until I actually truly participate in the game later today and spend a couple hours here.
 
@Zenge142 so you're village reading genny?
Now that she’s answered her thoughts on Pippy without knowing Samac affiliation, I’m less optimistic. Her Pippy response was very hedgy and guarded.
She sounds like normal Pippy to me, which really doesn’t mean much at all. But she’s usually not this sloppy as a wolf. The sudden reversal on Strog was weird, and I don’t see her doing that as a wolf. I feel like she’d be less howly and more careful.
So I’m leaving Genny firmly in neutrals for the moment. Pippy or Samac flipping would give me more information.

Pippy’s read of Samac was troubling too.
neutral to slight wolf
Still not sure how I feel about Samac. I’ll be curious to see how she responds to my question about Pippy and if she’s willing to vote theres, but since she’s not here, and Pippy is my stronger wolf read anyway
Unyeet Samac

So I get that the pivoting was weird on Strog. I also don’t know if she would do that as a wolf. I keep thinking how it would be a bad wolfy idea, but then I remember I did the same thing in ggoats with sunny.
You’re overall hitting my as village but I do what to ask if I’m the weaker read why vote me initially?

wolves can be busy too. i don't get a village feel from her this game.
You’re wrong tho. I told you I didn’t summon you here to misyeet me.


Also I excepted this to grow more since I last checked in but no one has posted in over a hour? Wtf?
I know the wolves are happy with me on the chopping block but damn you can at least say something.
 
but I do what to ask if I’m the weaker read why vote me initially?
Gather more information. See how you respond to things under pressure to get a better sense of you.

What are you planning to do with your vote today?

There’s more than just that though. She’s throwing a lot of shade at people for bad reasons trying to see what sticks.
I'm just not really reading it as v/v and so I'm curious what you're seeing there.

I got a lot of pings from Alley's posts reading through, but she's also talking more than other people, which I agree is less likely to be wolf.

Couple of Lawps posts have felt a little odd

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.

I also didn't like Dubz's joke vote for you and could easily see that as a w/w move. Fellow wolf gets some D1 votes, she adds to the pile to scare people off, easy way out later by saying "oh but mine was a joke and everyone who thinks otherwise is wolfy"

Speaking of, @differentiating 's earlier posts also sketched me out a lot, but not really feeling like going there today

Same with Strog

I’m very interested in you, Bob, genny, and mayo as the people who avoided wagons completely. That was my favorite move as a wolf and I’m wondering if one of you is doing the same.
mayo hasn’t hit me as wolfy.
I like bob’s effort but he seems pretty serious this game. This seems like a change in play style from his previous games.
Genny is gonna tunnel me, and quite frankly she hasn’t done anything overtly wolfy or village yet IMO.
Your analysis feels village but at the same time welcome to the successful wolf club, I didn’t watch the last game closely so I don’t know all the deets on how you acted as a wolf.

that being said I know all 3-4 wolves wouldn’t avoid the wagons. A strog flip would tell me a lot about the people on that vote, but he hasn’t done anything inherently wolfy or helpful. Just seems overall inactive.

I get your points on pippy, and I would be interested in that flip for more info on you. I know you’ve been pretty great at reading people previously, and you’re wrong about me. If you’re wrong about pippy too maybe you are actually wolfing.
Yeet pippy
 
Not a wolf, but also can't be too mad about being used as wolf fodder since I've been pretty absent so far, and also would like to die before next weekend lol.

PXL_20210606_211645672.jpg

Kinda crummy move to push a vote on two absentee villagers in a row, though. Please look at Strog and Zenge when I flip village, because this is the second day in a row they've moved the vote away from Strog and onto me.
 
I also am definitely throwing {some variety of Malagasy rock or giant seed}s at glass houses here, but the participation in this game so far has been abysmal and it's disappointing considering how excited Shorty was about this.

Start voting, or I will start rotating through all of the people who haven't.

This is a very different reaction to my tunnel on you in Wizards which I find interesting.
I don’t have to say though pushing a vote on an absentee person would also apply to strog who you’re voting for.
hell, it applies to half the list.
Also, hard side eye at samac for saying Zenge is wolfy for his vote and then voting with him
I think if you flip village he’s likely wolf

Three people haven't even posted once.
 
We’re 3 hours from yeet close and were missing 6 people. Can we at least say something please?

I'm down for this
 
I’m half-dead but hey i’m back. Was gonna point out a samac/dubz interaction from yesterday that made me want to rule out w/w but that seems to be redundant now with dubz’s vote on her during a 4-way tie.
 
I'm less concerned with those people because I assume they will be subbed out. More interested in the people who have been here and held their votes or are still holding them.
They'll likely pop in just before yeet close to beat the content minimum. I'm on alert for it
 
Been lurking and skimming but my brain is in depression mode today so having a hard time with reads. Mostly I still feel like something feels off with samac. I'm about to reread everything though, which shouldn't take too long.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and say that if anyone has means outside the game to contact players who have been MIA (specifically @mkg323, @vetmedhead, and @Stroganoff - mayo was here a fair amount yesterday so I'm not quite as worried about him), it is okay with me if you use those means to ping them as long as you don't otherwise discuss the game.
 
I’m looking into bob, mayo, genny since they voted off-wagon and i want to look at their reasons. Z’s made his reasons for voting pippy pretty clear and rereading all his posts is too much for me right now. Also looking at mkg because the alley vote after strog came into the lead was interesting.

I hate to say it since it’s his first game in a while and apparently has been too busy the first couple days to really get to play, but I wouldn’t hate a strog flip. I’m starting to worry that part of the reason there’s so little content to read him on is because he doesn’t want to be read, and it would be very informative. I kinda want to give him another day to give him a chance to demonstrate he’s village in case he really is a villager who’s been too busy for ww the first two days of his first game after a long hiatus - it would suck to be yeeted in that scenario.

For the moment meats is worrying me the most with her reaction to me voting the same place she did.

well heres part my quote dump, its mostly serious i swear

OK I'm finally home, but there's only 20 minutes to speed read the entire thread and vote. I initially voted for 36/12 since that gives some wiggle room. I'll do my best to see if anything major D1 happened!

Edit: 8 pages x 50 posts/page? Y'all are nuts.


Um.

contingency yeet MKG because she's Canadian!

Hmm i was thinking of switching from strog to april as i don’t like the idea of yeeting someone with 3 non-content posts and april’s response to pippy pinged me, but this doesn’t feel w/v. Reconsidering.
Vis does April's flip change any of your thoughts on Pippy? or Strog (I think you were also saying at some point they could be w/v?)
Vote


Please remove me from “the missing” with my previous post about low content! Lol

vote MKG
dont think this vote was ever explained, Bob's been a bit different this game from last time I played, not sure if thats from experience or if hes a woof

How about you actually read my posts instead of dumping shade all over the same one to try to build a vote on me while maybe kinda sorta pocketing AM? I didn't "deflect," I had a conversation with AM and then liked where she voted because I was sketched out by how Strog popped on yesterday with an insult and then an excuse.

Meanwhile, she moved her vote off of YOU, at which point you immediately pivoted to being like "piPPy yyyy U tHiNK AM wOLFy ???", which looks a whole lot like you saw an opportunity to try to get AM in your pocket and jumped on it.

Interestingly, that was also the same time that activity picked up, which to me means that there was potentially a wolf on the board yesterday. So the fact that you immediately turned to tossing out buzzwords at that point to see if you could get me on the board as a village counter makes me want to look real hard at you if Strog flips wolf.
ok so this was in response to Zenge's post about pippy/samac being w/w with a manufactured argument. for the bolded - Pippy who are you thinking was a wolf on the board now that Alley flipped? strog or was it someone else?

Tally update in toc pls thx :cat::shy:
this is madagascar, you gotta ask like this:

Definitely agree with looking at those who stayed off a leading wagon, and that bob has been different

Explain briefly
Just dippin my toes in
