On second look I don't like strog's contributions so far. Originally felt that vote was lazy but most of his posts are some variation of 🙂

Andao Hianika Tendrombohitra Day 2 Tally

Vissy (1) - mayo
Stroganoff (1) - AM
samac (1) - genny
Pippy (3) - Zenge, samac, mkg
vmh (3) - Lawpy, Vissy, Pippy
Lawpy (1) - Bob
genny (1) - Dubz
mkg (1) - diff

@PippyPony and @vetmedhead , you are in the lead!
12/14 voting
Missing: @Stroganoff, @vetmedhead

Oh boy, a tie!!!!

Vote closes at 9pm EDT (~30 minutes)

 

[differentiating]

The tone of this is off to me, feels like very hollow promises about next steps

I was referring to wanting to do this:

So, the swing happened as such: mkg tied it up by voting for alley (strog 4, alley 4), then strog voted alley for self-pres (strog 4, alley 5), vis switched her vote to lawpy from strog (strog 3, alley 5, lawpy 3), and then lawpy switched to alley out of concern a bandwagon would occur (strog 3, alley 6, lawpy 3). April did bring alley within 1 vote of strog, but obviously they're not under suspicion now.

I get that vis was suspicious of lawpy for a while and had only voted for strog as a joke, but it's still strange to me to leave that switch so late - even without voting for alley, they essentially guaranteed alley's lynch over strog. I don't make much of strog's vote (clearly had to to self-prez), and while lawpy's seems a little premature, I can get the reasoning there. mkg's change in vote is also interesting, though, since that started the swing off of strog to alley - but they did say a few times that they didn't like the reasoning for a strog lynch and that they were suspicious of alley. So

Of course, I don't know if strog is village, which probably would make all of these observations fairly pointless and instead I should be looking at those who didn't waffle, but just wanted to look at it to help give myself a better understanding of just what happened there.

I miss @Stroganoff

 

[Stroganoff]

OK so despite fixing my sleep for this game and naturally getting drowsy af before midnight (without the help of melatonin or Benadryl, which never happens), I fought it off and have been up all night helping someone with a situation.

I'll be home all day today doing epic laundry and chores, so I'll have time for WW.

In the past when I played in 2018 or so, giving people a head's up is sometimes read as wolfy. But then again, not posting all day is also seen as absentee wolfy (or ghosting the game thread all day only to vote last minute is sometimes wolfy). So I almost can't win. But I thought I'd throw this out that I'll be home all day today but might sleep in a bit before actually participating in this thread for D2 shenanigans. 🙂

OK I'm here and I have dual monitor and Notepad++ in one and the game thread in the other, and I'm gonna speedrun through and give detailed reads. Probably lots of typing.

I ended up getting 1 hour of sleep last night and took another Benadryl so was a zombie and just decided "**** it, i'm nocturnal again. i'll just sleep through the day and play WW in the evening."

So I'm here and frantically starting from page 1!

I miss @Stroganoff

I'm here! I'm gonna ignore all those stupid red bubble alerts and instead of reading the thread backwards just gonna start from post 1 and work through the night.

I remember the last time I did this, by the time I had finished typing a 2 hour long mega-reply, I had already been night killed or lynched, and I was pretty irritated then got yelled at for typing as a dead person.

@samac i finally learned your summoning magic!!!

Do you really think going from post 1 forward is the best way to handle it when we’re 30 minutes from yeet close?

 

[supershorty]

Yeah it definitely had nothing to do with my repeatedly tagging him in all the tallys 🤔

Wait you didn't save the draft?

Agree with samac. You should give the catch-up after yeet close and stay up-to-date now.

 

[holdthemayo]

Why not flip meats?

Why flip meats?

 

[Lawpy]

Watch out, they’ll try and yeet you for it.

Samacs pls

 

[vetmedhead]

Also I s2g y'all I'm sorry for how ****ty my posts have been these last two days, I'm not even kidding when I say my entire catch-up today has been done while my mom talks in my ear literally non-stop. They are flying out tomorrow morning and I can be much more present after tonight.

That being said, more contributions:

The fact that Pippy isn’t jumping on this as an opportunity to do it now just for the lulz, speaks volumes about both of your affiliations.

@PippyPony Whats your official read on Samac?

I dunno, pippy is chaotic and insane as a player but she also isn't always a "for the lulz" person unless there's something to learn from it and this feels like a bit of an oversimplification of her play

He shared his thoughts on strogs vote

Why the soft defense of mayo?

 

[holdthemayo]

Why does vissy flipping wolf rule out AM being wolf?

If Vissy is a wolf, then Strog is likely to be a wolf. If Strog is a wolf, then AM isn't

 

[Animal Midwife]

Why flip meats?

She has Vis on her and has been floating in a few people's POEs so I thought that'd be interesting to you.

I was trying to understand why AM put mayos in her POE because i didn't find mayos to be wolfy from his posts

 

[mkg323]

Caught up.

I Zenge/Pippy reads v/w to me. Of the two, I'd rather flip Zenge. Pippy seems more on her meta to me.

I still have no read on Strog, but the weirdness with his wagon last night did ping me. Lawpy seems village, and I'm not sure why Vissy would try to create a counter wagon on him so late. If Strog flips wolf then so will Vissy and vice versa.

AM still feels more like the last time I saw her wolf than her usual village. If Strog or Vissy flip wolf then I'll back off of that.

I'd rather vote AM, but I doubt I'll get the traction.

I'm happy flipping Zenge or Vissy. We learn a lot about several other players with either flip.

Yeet Vissy

Ok but why would a wolf!vissy draw attention by starting a wagon on Lawpy when there was already a village misyeet option on the board (aka alley?)

Why not flip meats?

Why flip meats? she hasnt been on, I dont understand what there is to gain from flipping her

 

[Animal Midwife]

She has been on, she's just one of the lowest posters in the game.

 

[BobLoblaw78]

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.

vote vmh

I give you I haven't been active but that has been irl stuff. Yesterday and today with OU softball games, dealing with 2 work employees unexpectedly going out and trying to fill their positions, fishing with friend, working on cutting down trees and throwing brush (while my girls are trying to rebel about the abuse), and church meetings and vote on hiring 2 new church employees. And had to stop and get ice creams on the way home to quell the rebellion.

As far as having info on wolves, I can't be the only one that senses there has been a lack of participation and info to go on.

I am logically consistent with my votes. I have never jumped on early wagons first day or two. Probably bc I have delusions of grandeur and proving how clever I am about figuring things out. It has not worked out for me yet bc I don't remember successfully yeeting one wolf. Probably bc I have been out every game in first day or two

 

[Lawpy]

If Vissy is a wolf, then Strog is likely to be a wolf. If Strog is a wolf, then AM isn't

Hmm interesting

 

[PippyPony]

You guys.

I'LL BE WATCHING YOU from dead chat.

Wait did you explain your vote?

It was 4-5. If one person flipped from Alley to Strog then it would be 5-4 the other way. Flipping to Lawpy keeps Strog safe and doesn't have her jumping on a the alley wagon late, right before she flips village.

[Zenge142]

Liked this post because all Zenge has done this game is oversimplify and mis-characterize my posts

That’s an oversimplification and mis-characterization of my posts.

I’ve also tunneled on Samac, second guessed my self about it, realized I was right the first time, realized I was probably actually right the second time and wrong the first time.

And generally tried to discuss and engage with players, such as yourself.

 

[Stroganoff]

DAY 1

Page 1

oh wow nice intro write-up. David Attenborough style.

Players must make 5 content posts per cycle to avoid mod wrath. Naked yeet votes do not count as content posts.

crap **** **** crap sorry

Ties will be resolved through RNG. Anything can happen. Consider yourselves warned.

hopefully a better RNG than Among Us.

-----------

Ok so page 1, Day 1 is just random drivel so far.

vote stroganoff
Welcome back to ww!

mwah. thanks, a-hole! :kissingheart:

Giving you all a heads up that I will be on a plane for most of tonight. Our first flight isn’t until 5:30 CDT, so I should have plenty of time to be active before then.

safe travels!
this post is meaningless since i know you've landed.

uh happy birthday!
and sorry for your D1 death. i came home and we were tied. and i swear i died in a lynch because i did NOT vote for self-preservation, so I won the tie and got yeeted. So that's 100% why I voted for you D1.



okay honestly this isn't that bad. i'm scrolling through this nonsense so far lol

 

[samac]

I really thought everyone was vanilla this game because it’s a basics game.

 

[holdthemayo]

She has been on, she's just one of the lowest posters in the game.

So wolves don't post in these games now?

 

[BobLoblaw78]

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

Spoiler: yay canada

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?)

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


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?


this is madagascar, you gotta ask like this:

Spoiler: KOWALSKI

View attachment 338362

Do you have any thoughts about what he's posted today?


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


Just dippin my toes in

I thought I already gave my reasons for voting MKG. I will find it real quick

Vet Med head, strog, mkg. Any one else not posting? I

They were protecting strog, not much content and I wanted to vote one of the lower contributers to spike participation. No better place to land outside of that. Don't feel like alley, samac are good place to start. Samac has seemed good thought process in past and alley always seems to be misconstrued early

there but there is more that ties in to today

 

[PippyPony]

That's creepy, pip

You're creepy. Why are you going along with this?

 

[Animal Midwife]

Pippy, instead of softing, you should just claim if you have something to say. We're in the last 20 minutes.

 

[Lawpy]

I really thought everyone was vanilla this game because it’s a basics game.

Thats a mountainous game

Are you a bush baby?

No.

Is the person currently active? Cause if so why are they holding it back?

Same.

It's not that soft

 

[holdthemayo]

It's not that soft

Keep your giggles to yourself @BobLoblaw78

 

[WildZoo]

You're creepy. Why are you going along with this?

Well I was making a joke. What do you mean going along with? I'm not voting for you, put you in my tentative village reads, and told Zenge I thought he was wrong. What more do you want?

 

[Lawpy]

It's not that soft

Explain softly

 

[PippyPony]

Pippy, instead of softing, you should just claim if you have something to say. We're in the last 20 minutes.
