Night 2

Sir David Attenborough was up bright and early. It was important to get a move on, hiking through the mountains on the eastern coast, to get a glimpse of his planned subject, and to hear its unique call.

"We're headed to see the largest living lemur this morning," he said into the camera as he clambered over fallen trees. "They're mainly folivorous and live nearly exclusively in the trees, jumping from one tree to another in a kind of locomotion called vertical clinging and leaping."

"Malagasy legend calls these lemurs the ancestor of man, and they're commonly referred to as Babakoto. Legend has it that a man went hunting in the forest and didn't return, prompting his son to search for him. When neither of them returned, the village set out to find them, but only found the man crying for his son, and heard a ghostly cry coming from the trees in return. Hunting them is considered fady, or taboo. Sadly, today, they are critically endangered and are only found in a very small region of Madagascar."

After hours of hiking, Sir David reached the section of the forest where the lemurs were known to live. But instead of hearing the eerie chorus of wails that they started the day with, he was met with silence. Yet another animal had disappeared without a trace.

Vanished is @Lawpy, the Indri and a vanillager.

His contributions were pretty decent from where I'm sitting, and unlike Dubz when you wolf I don't see you trying to woo your detractors the same way. You decide instead to just antagonize them and attempt to make them look bad. Which makes sense, best defense is offense and if you can't beat em by making them join you, just get them yeeted or NK. Feels like every time I've gone up against a wolfy you.
No, you say this line every game and have been wrong every time. mayo also has a 100% incorrect read rate on me which is an impressive feat in itself.
What is a policy yeet?

After sleeping on last night, I still don't get your approach of fixation on inconsequential details that can't unravel anything. Then I realize it might be b/c who was in my wolf leans. I feel like you were trying to discredit me b/c of where I had you without taking it head on. You attack the mechanics of me organizing my list and not really anything about my reads.

PS- I intentionally didn't want my wolf leans out b/c I haven't done well when posting them and seem to be NK'd as soon as I do. And I intentionally stray away from directly accusing OG's (who I have several) b/c I worry they will quickly misyeet or NK easily with their experience.

You have been more volatile this game. Instead of you remaining calm, especially early on, and making the person you are talking to look bad/emotional- you have been looking bad/emotional.
Policy yeet is when you need to yeet someone regardless of affiliation if you want any real chance of winning.

Well, look here. You're miraculously still alive so clearly it did nothing to harm you. Nothing harmful comes from sharing wolf reads. Vote earlier today.

Didn't you say this same thing about AM last game?
 
I’m still alive, just life. Also we’re a doctor short today unexpectedly, so idk how catch up is going to happen for me. Saw I was almost yeeted last night. Feel free to continue with that.

OMG. I thought @wildcatj was back!!!!

I’ll try to keep up through the work day but likely won’t be posting much until I’m off. Strog flip will be informative and his posts last night were just bad feelings all around.

vote strog
 
@PippyPony so who’d ya watch last night?
I know you did similar fishing in england but you had a theory you were trying to test then. I get wanting to test pippy’s roleclaim but if she is watcher this is a great way to know who is unlikely to be watched tonight. jesus christ you give me palpitations with this

Meh, I actually think it's a fair question in this situation. We have no evidence that pippy can't watch the same person on consecutive nights. Y'all really think the wolves are going to bank on that? If they were trying to avoid a protected target last night and they were going to assume actions can't be used on the same target consecutively, pippy should be dead tonight anyway.
 
We still don't know if pippy is telling the truth so I think keeping track of her targets makes sense. She doesn't need to say who she saw, if anyone, at this point, since that would be unnecessary PR outting, assuming she's village. But I think the the other data point is fair to ask about.

This. Say who you targeted, Pippy.
 
Yeet mkg for now

At work now but should be home later for further discussion.
My only problem with this is I do not understand why a wolf!mkg would come in late yesterday and make a "for funsies" vote on genny. Feels like a too wolfy to be wolf situation.

That’s fair. I’m not sure if a wolf would be so obviously suspicious either, since that post was so weird, but I also would like to hear mkg’s explanation.
 
I’m highly considering switching back to meats today. I wasn’t planning to out of caution due to seer claim (+ assumption that it’s likely to resolve itself if true and we can revisit it if she’s still alive and acting sus in a day or two) but the more I think about it her play doesn’t make sense for a village seer to me.
 
I think my core POE i want to really focus on is meaty, genny, strogs +/- MKG
Saving this to look at later. I’m down to vote any of the tied people from yesterday, I feel like there’s a good chance there was a wolf on the board
So many pings here.
With all due respect cray you are awful at reading me, do I need to remind you about your reads from WWizards?
Not to defend the Strog vote, and not sure what other people thought, think it's weird no one pointed out that they might expect more from Strog given his general SDN posting habits and after a hiatus would hope to see some enthusiasm translate to some participation. So that context makes it a little concerning for wolfiness
Ok sure that could make sense. But no one voting for him thought that, honestly there wasn’t really a clear reason at all, hence why I think the strog vote on D1 was wolfy
That’s fair. I’m not sure if a wolf would be so obviously suspicious either, since that post was so weird, but I also would like to hear mkg’s explanation.
The wine made me do it. But in all seriousness genny has seemed off to me, and I wanted to place my vote somewhere off of Pippy while I panicked about what to do 5 minutes before the day closed

Follow up question - do you have any wolfy reads other then me?
 
No, you say this line every game and have been wrong every time. mayo also has a 100% incorrect read rate on me which is an impressive feat in itself.

I don't feel like you are being genuine with your questions or concerns about me being "miraculously alive" from misyeet or NK. First off, my list was posted after yeet deadline so there was no threat for me anyway. Second, if you are wolf then it would've been bad move to NK after our exchange.

I will do as you demanded about voting earlier! Lol

yeet AM

You have not seemed yourself as I have stated for my reasons. You are getting caught on minutiae which is not your meta. You have been more touchy which reminds me of what you said about wolfAM- that you hate doing it/it annoys you....you seem very annoyed. And your miraculously alive and vagueness of reading my list comes across as indirect shade and you are usually more direct and blunt. Much more blunt. It is part of your charm

This gif is mesmerizing. I am amazed at how many lemurs (?) can fit in that log. I assume they are clown lemurs in a clown log?!?

This isn't helping you at all. Better hope it's not revealed many of your neutrals flip wolf.
 
I expected to be dead this morning but instead I have 63 notifications 😅

I also need to re-read, because I was operating under the assumption Zenge was a wolf. Also feel like I don't have great reads on about half the people in the game
I thought Zenge was making sense and need to go back and look closer. I don't see how half the wagons have formed and obviously have different reads than the rest of the group.
 
No. Don't boss me around. It's my information, and I get to decide whether it's worth it to share.

Currently leaning towards no though, so if that bothers you, just go ahead and yeet me.
I thought about doing this b/c the bossiness made me want to do the opposite. Then I felt like my share was more than hers. But boiled down to just putting my cards on the table even though it felt too early with the limited info/content of others. I assume it can only help village.... but I eventually want to make it to endgame one time
