And looked terrible when AM went down village and strog flipped wolf the next day? Doubt it. That's the trouble with bussing. Once it gets moving, it's hard to gracefully exit.

Who all was on AM at that point?

I posted like the entire timeline earlier, but it was bob, strog, and cray I believe.
 
Well I'm a vanillager, so I really encourage you guys to actually vote elsewhere to ya know, get a wolf. I'm a Hapalemur alaotrensis AKA the Lac Alaotra gentle lemur.
 
unyeet meats
yeet cyndia

I agree with your analysis of the pippy/strog voting pattern, although it took me a second to put it together. I can also see pippy as the type of wolf who, instead of coaching more about how to play the role for someone who hasnt done it or hasnt played in forever, just using the "obtuse" wolfiness to say "screw it, lets just see what happens and ill react accordingly!"

Then theres the enigma of the PR claim. Im getting a glimpse of the pippy!paranoia but im not ready to move to her. Maybe I tunneled in from the outside, but Ive still got cyndia/pippy as w/v, although if cyndia ends up village pippy would become my next vote. Is there any reason at this point they both cant be wolves?

Is MK your top packmate if pippy is wolf? And vice versa? Have you opined on VMH lately, and if so where can i find it?

No, mk moves lower for me if pippy is wolf. I think meats or...well, you.

I was village reading samac and haven't seen anything from cyndia to change that. I think some of Pip's interactions with samac don't quite look w/w.

Idk if I've said much on meats other than that I don't think she's in a pack with genny/you.
 
I'm torn on pippy, I get why she eventually needs to be a policy yeet but the conviction everyone has about her being wolf isn't something I share. Would potentially be willing to go there tomorrow but want to see how mkg flips first as I think it will clarify a lot about pippy

because thats not the order of events, it doesnt make sense. Strog moved from AM to Pippy when he had 4 votes, and AM had 3, so it was STILL a viable counter wagon, he literally swapped 5 minutes after Cray voted for AM. they needed 1 waffle vote, or someone to move off of a single vote wagon to change the result, and this was like 45 minutes to yeet close, so there was plenty of time. And after the major waffles D2 why is that not a reasonable thing to think would happen? why bail onto Pippy when things could easily have swung in Strog & the wolves favor? Even if the AM bussing Strog tinfoil is completely off the table, I dont get how the Pippy vote really shows anything.

I went back to reread the couple pages between the 4:2 tally and the eod. I do still think the AM wagon wasn’t viable because I don’t really see anyone who based on (my vague recollection of) their reads on thread could have easily waffled onto her over strog, especially considering how he seemed to be deliberately avoiding commenting on things relevant to the current thread/give insight to his relationship to currently living players and respond to as many dead people as possible - i still think it looks like he was intentionally being yeet bait by that point and was just moving off an earlier vote that he placed a) before the pack decided bussing was the best option and were still trying to see if there was a way to save strog, and b) safely off a packmate until he could be sure it wouldn’t actually get the packmate yeeted. Packmates could have made the AM yeet happen but that wouldn’t have been viable for the long term.

Does make me possibly look differently at the meats vote depending on how the timing of that compared with the timing of strog’s AM vote. maybe less likely to be a bus if it was before strog tried to push AM, although still not impossible since he could have just been putting his vote off of pippy until he could be sure that voting there to give some cred with his flip.wouldn’t actually put her in danger

As AM pointed out, mkg put pippy in enough danger that she ended up claiming, when strog was already on the board. I have to go back and look at that context myself but haven't had a chance yet.

Thanks I also need to check that out

CHECK YO' VOTES.

I really like mkg reasons and wolf hunting. I am not sure about the alley vote. I forgot and will refresh my memory. I disagree on visc, but need to look at compatability some to see if it helps (and get used to using it).

I wonder if AM voting mkg could be other bus or true wolf hunting. I could see a flip either way being helpful on being more clear about AM.

What about AM's play lacks clarity for you?
 
Day 4

Lac Alaotra bamboo lemur 2.jpg


What a day it had been. Sir David had traveled quite far, out of the rainforest, and over to the marshy beds around Lac Alaotra. He watched the mountainous terrain recede as he drove north, although after he hit a typical Madagascar-roads pothole that nearly ate his car, he decided to keep his eyes on the road. Because he's the consummate gentleman, he, of course, apologized to his car after hitting the pothole.

As the sun set, he and a local guide set out in a canoe, traversing through the reeds. They'd heard a commotion at the edge of the water and wanted to see what animals were there.

Much to Sir David's shock, he saw quite the cluster of animals, many of which were not ones he'd expect to see around Lac Alaotra (or outside the rainforest at all). They appeared to be arguing, like the strange gatherings he'd seen since his arrival on the island, but the argument seemed quite focused on one tiny lemur.

"This lemur is special because she eats the reeds that she lives on - although she will eat other reeds and grasses too. She has a unique way of traveling from one reed to another that requires an enormous amount of concentration and balance. Sadly, these lemurs are critically endangered as their habitat continues to shrink. It is truly a treat to get to see one."

The other animals gathered around didn't seem to agree with Sir David's assessment. They didn't trust that cute little face. They felt that her balancing act was because she wasn't telling the truth about what she was really up to in the night hours. And as a result, they cast her out.

Set adrift is @mkg323, the Lac Alaotra gentle lemur and a vanillager.

Pippy may have to die. Missing yeet close twice is terrible. Meats still need pressure. And I want answers from Bob 'I never switch' Loblaw.
 
Most importantly, she does not touch me ever again if legit. There will be happy little consequences if she does.
 
BobLoblaw78 said:
Lol. Trying to save MKG. Trying to type on phone with autocorrect changing unyeet, meats and MKG. And not letting me bold on my small screen/big thumbs. Trying to rush before deadline. And feeling bad for MKG.

Why didn't you try to get on Pippy earlier and save her?

Why is cyndia higher in your wolf reads and why w/v for cyndia/pips?
Click to expand...

Cyndia had just struck me from beginning tone-wise, then I was following the zenge-cyndia-pippy interaction and once zenge flipped village, it made more sense that at least one of them was a wolf if not both. Cyndia had the early defense of strog going, but reading more of dubz insights is making me feel like maybe I was tunneled in on the wrong player. With mkg flipping village, I have no problem with a pippy vote over cyndia, although i still dont see why they couldnt both be wolves necessarily. Cyndia didnt have more than 2 votes today so if pippy is a wolf and it was a bus vote there was no real danger.

Here you go you dubz, people are listening!

contingency yeet Pipppppyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Didn’t have a strong read for meats. But MKG was just oozing villager. Felt bad for her, esp when she said I was lurking. Felt like I was her only help and hadn’t posted since I left work.

What do you mean by "didn't have strong read"? How are you reading her?

Not sure what you mean get on Pippy. I didn’t see her having a big wagon. Next closest was cyndia.

Earlier? I was working. I had 17 pts, 12 procedures, catching up on email in addition to taking care of all the department issues that popped up today. 28 hours work and 11 hours sleep last two days. Not complaining bc I get on here voluntarily. Just telling you where I’m coming from. I felt good just to have stayed read up even if distracted.

Close time. I got home 30 min before close. OU was tivo’d (jk dvr’d) and was trying to talk to wife, girls, watch OU game and eat without getting scolded for being on phone.

I def don’t feel bad I have not written more. Just felt bad for MKG who had been giving great effort. Only writing now bc I’m fed and OU getting beat 7-2

Okay, what's your POE?
 
Animal Midwife said:
Yes, but that's unsafe. I just prefer one of the two safer options. Vote in a block or use the cycle for vigorous discussion and forgo all voting.
Click to expand...
Is a “no vote” vote an option this game? Because otherwise just forgoing voting lets wolves hammer at eod

No vote will be permitted, but players MUST designate that they are abstaining from voting by posting a properly formatted no vote vote.
