Madagascar WWildlife (A Basics Game!) - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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.
I feel sure from tonight’s catchup that either strog is genuinely not in a pack chat or that he is being intentional yeet bait since they decided they couldn’t save him and need to bus. Still evaluating which.

What’s making me pause on seeing it w/w is that iirc vmh implied i switched D1 to protect strog. I don’t think she would throw that w/w accusation on her packmate at that point, but perhaps the intent was to flip me first and use that to quiet suspicions on strog. I might be misremembering and her suspicion was just for a late vote itself tho.
 
It’d making me very nervous that there aren’t more people on strog’s vote. There’s no counterwagon yet very few people I could see as bussing on him.
 
Well. It is 10 min to close and only a handful of people on. It is either going to get crazy and I can't keep up or continue to be the same people saying stuff that isn't moving the needle.

It is funny that the low posters are now the high posters the last couple of hours (VMH, stroganoff). I honestly can't see anything that convicts me enough to swing my vote. I wish I had more to add. Just got home and want to relax but don't want to miss the close either...
 
To be fair so am I. But someone leading for the vote, is village, and is just randomly responding to dead people can’t be this obtuse right?
I feel it’s much more likely for a villager to be this obtuse (i say it with love) than a wolf to be genuinely this obtuse. I thought what was happening was that he was being intentionally wolfy yeet bait so that packmates could hide in a largish wagon and get cred for bussing. I still think it but much less so with the vite dostribution

I still seemed to have missed the lightning rod moment of wolfiness on strog. Apparently no one else missed it so please inform me (other than low poster- which I can agree with). I don't know his meta, etc

Visc is really thinking at the next level. Have feelings about this but yeah.
 
Ok since I’m on the tie chopping block I’ll say it again, I’m a vanilla villager. I’m the common or tailless tenrec.
Dubz I think is villlage.
mayo felt village.
Vissy feels village.
genny feels off.
there’s a wolf between pippy and Zenge. I feel it in my bones.
I don’t like those last minute low poster votes on me.
strog feels like he is being intentionally obtuse.
I'm not being intentionally obtuse. I promise on my life.

I'm trying my absolute best to catch up. I've spent 4 hours so far and haven't eaten all day. And I've gone through over 700 posts maybe 800. If I work backwards I get yelled at for missing vital information, but if I do my best and work chronologically I get yelled at as well, so I'm in a position where I cannot win and please everyone.

I'm playing this game for fun, and I'll be caught up very soon.

I want to know Pippy's night read of Dubz since outing oneself as a seer or angel or watcher type PR is a surefire way to get night killed.

You are misremembering, it was your timing I didn't like
What do you mean by "invite"?
Was a typo of "unvote"

CHECK YO' VOTES.
 
I don't think there's any PR this game and thus no night actions.
Basics game doesn't have to mean zero PRs, it just means it isn't role madness and not likely to have multiball setups with chaos or neutrals or extra packs lone wolves and other nutty stuff. Vanillager is usually most common role but not exclusively.
 
I don't find posts like this helpful to the game, but I don't know your play style since I haven't played WW with you.

You're moving away from neutral towards light woof, unless this is just your meta.
Lawpy died and flipped village didn't he?

In any case yes that is Lawpy's meta

Sometimes real life leads people not to be on until closer to close.

In any case, WW is both a form of relaxation and antithetical to relaxation depending lol so good luck.

this. i've been a big ball of stress and the one game I've been looking forward to for months has just left me with genuine sadness. sucks.
 
Pins and needles to see if giving AM what she wanted was a good move or not.

AM it's starting to sound like you near yeet deadline you stopped believing in the Strog vote so why stay on it?

Oh, I'm so sorry. I really hope you'll sign up for the next one and things line up better for you to stay caught up and play some cycles.
 
Day 3

1623114902645.png


As the days on the island rolled by, Sir David couldn't help but feel concerned about the wildlife he was there to see. During the days, the forest had been relatively quiet, making it difficult to find animals to film for the documentary, and locating nocturnal animals in the darkness was always difficult. The mountainous terrain was tiring him out; it was a lot of hiking.

After a long day of searching, he stumbled across another strange gathering of animals, mixed in species and size. They again seemed to be deep in discussion, one that he could observe but was obviously unable to participate in.

At the center of the circle was a small, yellow and black striped creature. "Although this looks like a hedgehog, it is called a tenrec. This one in particular is the lowland streaked tenrec, a truly unique animal because of how he communicates. The tenrec is able to rub his quills together to make noise, and can use it either to warn predators away or to communicate with its group."

"The streaked tenrec is not classified as diurnal or nocturnal; it is active pretty much whenever it wants. It's a tough little guy; it has to be to survive in the forest when it's this small."

As Sir David talked into the camera, the animals banded together and forced the tenrec to exit the circle. He was protesting and rattling his quills the entire time, but their minds were made up.

Set adrift is @Stroganoff , the lowland streaked tenrec and a VANILLA WOLF.
