[samac]

This reminds me, I forgot to reply to your original ping about that vote, but it was based on the most recently posted tally in the chaos of close and I was picking someone who was close enough in votes to me that it could be a reasonable self prez vote who also wasn't pippy

But now I am more sus of you lol. I think strog is worth the flip first though because you at least have been active and contributing

Well, okay.

I didn’t like the chaos either. I missed mkg’s vote and actually chose you over her.

I still have a strong feeling pippy is lying.

 

[Animal Midwife]

I agree with this. At least in my experience voting off absentee people has always flipped village. It doesn't necessarily help.

Thanks. I think the votes were joke and/or random votes, to be honest.



YOOO! I didn't know you were playing! I didn't see you on the roster. Long time no see, man!



Why MKG?



Oh, if people aren't in the game they should use asterisks to encapsulate their posts.


Why samac?

I generally like to see a short blurb in vote posts with reasoning.


Why are you not opposed to a samac vote?

Why are you confused about these samac stances when you voted her last night?

 

[samac]

Better question, why bother to question the inactive and the dead?

 

[Stroganoff]

**** I got completely eaten by moving today things will be much less hectic tomorrow and I'm going to spend tonight going through thread carefully to unwind but let me go through fast now before vote close

This seems understandable, and I completely relate to being busy.

I'm not reading you as wolfy in the slightest, so I'm curious to see if people get on you for this.

I. Am. Powerful.

@Stroganoff come backkkkkkkkk

I'm here! Typing up a storm and going through post by post and doing my very best. I still haven't eaten all day, and it's 7:20 pm. I'm working as fast as I humanly can.

So far people aren't replying to my posts, and it's possibly due to the fact I'm using copy-and-paste in my multi-quote reply and formatting the BBcode manually, which doesn't trigger an alert on SDN.

I still want to know what "AI" and "OGI" mean. They're not in the glossary I have, and since this is a Basics game, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help.

Varying levels of amused and indifferent.

So why Stroganoff?

I'm curious about AM's vote for me as well and hope she elaborates.

It seems like AM and others like pressuring participation by direct questions or votes (reaction test?). I think pressuring participation by voting ppl that aren’t helping. The more conversation the better. It is way more likely people will slip up the more they talk. And the more they are under pressure they will reveal wolfy or village (like alley-seemed sus and reaching early but when pressured seemed more village)

See, I agree that pressuring people to talk is helpful.

I disagree with thinking alley is wolfy or sus, and that proved true on Day 1 when she flipped Village. So at least with Alley, i read her correctly.

 

[samac]

My question is strogg being intentionally obtuse to seem like he doesn’t know anything from wolf chat or is he just really that disconnected?

Either way I'd prefer he talked in real time so I can see how he reads/interacts with everyone else.

 

[samac]

I completely understand flipping strogg.
is there a reason you’re opposed to genny?

 

[Stroganoff]

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.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

I'm trying my best to generate "content" right now and going through as thoroughly as possible.

no one can, because the vote doesnt make sense. the options on the table are alley, who wont be on at yeet close, but who has had odd posts, or Strog, who hasnt been on, and hasnt contributed anything really of substance. It really weirds me out how he is a front runner to yeet because there have been others with low content posts/no posts and they havent really been mentioned

Yeah it was weird to see I was the frontrunner when others who had been absent didn't get as many votes.

Some of her other posts after that sequence felt more like village samac, so in the neutral zone

What is "village samac" like? I don't remember anyone's meta, so this would be very helpful since I voted for samac on Day 2 iirc.

Suddenly i'm hooked in gas even more

What on earth does this mean?

For future reference, typically it's against the rules to edit in a vote to a pre-existing post. It messes with the tallies.

Thanks. That makes perfect sense. I'm an edit junky and perfectionist, but I'll just make vote posts a separate posts, so they're easier to parse.

But like... why Stroganoff?

But like... why are you throwing up multiple roadblocks so D1 has less information? Is there some reason village being in the dark benefits you?

This is really weird to me. Mayo has repeatedly asked AM why she voted for me, but here AM dodges a direct question.

 

[Animal Midwife]

I completely understand flipping strogg.
is there a reason you’re opposed to genny?

At this point, it's only because she's hurtling towards a modkill so will likely be flipped regardless. Honestly, any of the people Lawpy listed yesterday are my top priorities today though.

this is my village meta.

 

[Stroganoff]

I'm gonna put in a vote right now:

lynch AM

1. Dodging multiple questions on why she has voted for me. I generally find that suspicious and manipulative, as if to change the subject.
2. Being aggressive to me in multiple replies. When people do that to me, it comes across wolfy in my head. And it also really takes away from the fun and enjoyment of the game, which is the sole reason I'm here.

This one?

I think my core POE i want to really focus on is meaty, genny, strogs +/- MKG

I’m also mostly fine with it, would trade someone out for pippy tho. Likely mkg.

it would be fanstastically hilarious if 3 wolves lined up on me yesterday, especially since 2 of them came out of nowhere.

@Animal Midwife what are your thoughts on vmh being on the strogg vote too?

 

[Stroganoff]

I mean like in general, anyone on this thread that isnt a high poster like Dubz or AM. by the time Strog's vote started to pick up, several people hadnt even really checked in, people like April or Bob or me only had a couple posts, heck you only got here like a couple minutes before that happened. I have yet to see a valid reason for a Strog vote. if he was picked as bc he was a low poster it doesnt make sense, and it doesnt make sense if his posts pinged people because is 3 posts were jokes or not related to the game.

I agree with your reasoning, but be careful not to get in my pocket, if that makes sense.

I've made that mistake a lot where I went "hmm this person's logic is amazing; therefore, they must be village." and that's burned me in the past.

I appreciate your defense of me. It's weird for a few people to have gotten on my butt but not others' butts when comparing apples to apples.

Is... there a reason for this poem?

I'm curious too. Hope that clears up.

It's his way of getting out of having to put any stakes in the ground

What do you mean by "stakes in the ground"?

Your responding to any direct questions with a bunch of questions back is your way of getting out of answering anything.

YES YES YES.

So here mayo notices AM dodging direct questions. It's not just me.

I mean when people cant explain their votes for a leading wagon, I tend to take issue with it. so less so defending strog, more arguing that its a ****ty vote

I'm not gonna get in your pocket either, but I agree with you and mayo (and maybe Bob?) in noticing that AM isn't explaining her vote for me at all.

That coupled with her aggression towards me is off-putting.

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

And here is at least the 3rd or 4th post where AM dodges a direct question in voting me.

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

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!

 

[Animal Midwife]

@Animal Midwife what are your thoughts on vmh being on the strogg vote too?

It's interesting. Unfortunately, not able to rule out as w/w since Strog's been on the board three days in a row now, but would be surprised if they were v/v.

 

[vetmedhead]

This one?

Why is mkg your lowest of the four he listed? (That is, why is she the one you're most likely to trade out for pippy?)

 

[Stroganoff]

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?

I'll have to do some VCA.

The last-minute waffle kind of left me spinning. Geezus.

But like 3 bussing wolves?

That's rare. I bet there's at least 1 though.

 

[samac]

To be fair I don’t think I’ve playe with strogg and my play with you has been minimal.
I think genny, when she was around was wolfy. I also think pippy is wolfy. They’re my top 2. I was pretty sure there was a wolf between Zenge and Pippy. Zenge flipped village.
I think strogg is doing too much playing it dumb. I get life happens but he seems to be intentionally quoting dead people as much as possible and giving his thoughts on them/backing up their thoughts. They don’t have a chance to respond.
MKG hasn’t had the same tone I remember from her last wolf outing in England. Less excuses, more attempts at analysis.

you’re just meh. you’re like a bland piece of toast but it would really make my day if the wolves panicked and all voted on me in an attempt to save you, so if strogg and genny flip wolf you’re a great next choice.

 

[samac]

Oh there’s one bussing wolf on your vote?
thanks. Appreciate you for letting us know.

 

[Stroganoff]

She asked you a question. You responded with an unrelated question instead of answering hers. That’s a deflection.

Actually AM hadn’t moved her vote yet when I started asking you these questions. If anything it felt like you were trying to pocket me by trying to shade someone voting for me.

This also makes no sense because I was already on Samac, and Genny expressed interest in joining me before when I left. If I was trying to build a counter wagon it would have made more sense to stay on Samac, let Genny join, and make it a more appealing place to vote for people looking for alternatives to Strog and Alley.

This Zenge-Pippy interaction is interesting.

I agree with a lot of Zenge's reasoning in this and several prior posts. But I'm trying my best to not assume that just because I agree with someone that they are Village.

It's certainly possible that Zenge:Pippy::village:wolf

I'd love to hear exactly what you're agreeing with given you're voting me while Zenge cased me as village.

He can’t trust Zenge completely, AM.
what if Zenge was a wolf 20 pages ago?

I don't remember ever playing with you. Are you new to WW? Welcome!

I think I may have multiquoted or quoted the wrong person. That was meant for Samac!

I mean lol, let's let every wolf vote en bloc to make a cluster**** tie in an effort to save a wolf who is on half of the players' wolf leans lists.

Also would I only be on your wolf list if both genny and strog are wolves? Do you think the pack is exclusively lowposters?

 

[Crayola227]

The "morning" sickness makes being on my phone reading or scrolling like impossible at times. I'm trying to keep up with the last page and can't. At least so far every day I've had hours basically free of the sickness, but it's sandwiched by sickness at the beginning and end of my day and comes in waves. I don't think my well window will be until after yeet close today.

I want to see what happens if AM is more on the board compared to Strog that what she is at this very minute.

I will do my best to keep up with thread gestalt before close but I'm pretty limited right now. I also like the Strog yeet mostly for resolving some questions.

Also serious sus on mkg, samac, Pippy. Probably others but I can't anymore this post omg.

Nah, I think the high poster is pippy.

 

[Stroganoff]

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

pippy has been inconsistent this game so far. i'm reading her moderately wolfy too.

my only reasoning so far for my AM vote was she dodged multiple questions on why she voted for me, but that alone isn't a reason to necessarily vote for AM.

at this juncture:

unlynch AM

lynch Pippy

I think I've made it through 500+ posts so far in this one sitting ayoooo.

[Viscernable]

It's a joke... About cooking... You need to sear both sides of a piece of meat when you're cooking it to make it tasty and that generally involves flipping it over at least once?

I feel like I'm bad at cracking jokes now with how much confusion that post caused lol

No it was funny, I just thought it was intended to be a play on words with flipping seer. I considered if it may have been intentionally ambiguous so that you could test the waters to see if a PR claim would fly but that seems much less likely than that as either affiliation you just made an unrelated joke.

 

[Crayola227]

At this point, it's only because she's hurtling towards a modkill so will likely be flipped regardless. Honestly, any of the people Lawpy listed yesterday are my top priorities today though.

Why will she be modkilled instead of subbed? Because she didn't request one?

When we have like 8 people wanting to sub in I would sorta rather that happened instead but not sure what the rules are for subbing vs modkilling are.

 

[Viscernable]

Getting some pings from April, but I'll have to see a bit more.

Thanks for your input

If I'm remembering correctly, in the OP it says specifically if you don't ask for a sub, you get modkilled. I think it's better for this particular game's health anyway.

Since sub requests are specified to be put in role PMs and not on thread, I'd prefer it if people don't speculate about this particular issue if you can help it 🙂

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 🙂

I hope my contributions the past 3-4 hours change your mind. I'm doing my very best to go as fast as possible.

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

That’s not what a watcher does. It sees if anyone acts on the person.
