Alright, I've been staring at that reads list and the comparisons I made in WWedding for so long that I'm starting to go cross-eyed, and I'm still not fully convinced one way or the other, so I'm going to take a look at her early posts in LiterWWary and see if the tonal thing is clearer there.

This actually was pretty interesting.

I pulled all of her quotes from the first page of her ISO in this game, LiterWWary (most recent village), and WWedding (most recent wolf). So tl;dr: what I feel like I see is much more looseness in LiterWWary - more joking around, more casual tone, whereas in WWedding, she almost immediately is focused on the game (partially because AM was questioning her, to be fair) and talking about reads of people. In this game, again, I see her dive into talking about people almost immediately. And I still feel like there's a tone shift.

She's only wolfed twice (unless she's wolfing this game too) and her first wolf outing was over a year ago, so I'm not sure it will be useful for me to take a look at that game at this point, but I'll go look just in case.

Spoiler: WWedding (wolf)

White cake with strawberry filling 🥰🥰

Hello everyone I went to a Christmas concert tonight and took Christmas card photos

I mean a little off topic but I don’t think odd in an AI way
To me it sounded like alley being alley

alley or cray?
I haven’t really seen enough from either of them to form any opinions.

The first vote hasn’t even happened yet how is it middle of game?

I like the specificness of the seriousness of the vote 😂
I mean I feel like we get the best real reads of cray when she does her over night catch ups which she hasn’t had a real chance to do yet

Ok?
I wasn’t angry with her for voting there, just saying I didn’t agree personally

Nothing that I said contradicted that. I still don’t have a read on cray, I was saying that I’ll get a more solid idea about her after she spends some more time on the thread, specifically how she does her nightly catch-ups

I feel like I’m forgetting some of the roster is here. I would maybe like to get some pressure on bread, genny, cyndia, and Dina.

Not gonna place a vote yet bc we’re still like 24 hours away but if I had to right now, one of those four

One of the ones I keep forgetting is here

Spoiler: LiterWWary (village)

I’m never this early omg
Ok uhhhhhhh

Elect samacs

Chaotic narrator = fun narrator

Plot twist z doesn’t wanna deal with write ups he’s looking to pass the buck

If samac is a wolf, a video of that wolf brag is necessary

W a t

I interpreted it similar to alley but I trust shortys ability to translate AM more bc I feel like I regularly don’t get out what AM says as what she intended to say

My probability of likely using passive voice when I write, duh

I mean it really depends what it entails
But I will say I will be at a conference next week so you might not want me

Spoiler: Current game

For a second I thought it said 150 posts max per game and I got real scared about counting correctly

I wanna try very hard not to get the noob spookies about speechy but the post about PSV not telling her who PSV is made me ickkkk

Wellp
😂😂😂

I’m gathering this game is gonna be hard to interpret y’all’s interactions as serious or not

Shorty I haven’t even mailed you your card yet and you’re gonna lose it

 

[Zenge142]

Not to pick on him, but for example Zenge has 7 posts, only few of which could be considered "content". I'm not getting bad vibes from him (and wouldn't vote for him today either way), but I feel comfortable saying that he hasn't really contributed to the thread substantially.

I’d agree with this

 

[Zenge142]

Does anyone object if I throw something at Zenge's head because he's within striking range and maybe then he'll post on the damn thread 😡

maybe

 

[supershorty]

She's only wolfed twice (unless she's wolfing this game too) and her first wolf outing was over a year ago, so I'm not sure it will be useful for me to take a look at that game at this point, but I'll go look just in case.

Basics does not appear to follow this pattern.

 

[WildZoo]

Does anyone object if I throw something at Zenge's head because he's within striking range and maybe then he'll post on the damn thread 😡

He's too busy rpg hunting, smh

 

[supershorty]

omfg sdn u ate my quotes r u srs rn 😡

 

[Zenge142]

Barks and please now top of my suspects.

####unvote Paws###

####vote Barks####

Just don't want the wagon on Please to be runaway yet. Will finish catch up and see if this is my final vote.

Can you elaborate more on Barkey?

 

[vetschoolsletmeinplease]

@vetschoolsletmeinplease I have to admit I'm not really following what you find so suspicious related to me. I've never played WW with anyone I know IRL, let alone someone I live with and can see when she's on the thread. It's weird for me and I'm trying to figure out how to treat her like an average player rather than a person I know very, very well.

I guess I can see where you got this idea, but I can't change the fact that she's my sister. I already said we'd knock it off with the sibling jokery because I see how that's unfair to other players, but there's only so much I can do about things I've already said.
So if you find me suspicious, fine, but I'd prefer if you find me suspicious for things related to my play. Fine if it includes my interactions with speechy because she's playing too, but it was just a joke. Really nothing more to it.

I’m sorry it’s not even that I think you’re HELLA sus for it, it’s a weak lean but it’s the only lean I have right now.
In my opinion it is related to play but I’m willing to admit I might be wrong w that
And I’m more than willing to move if someone else is more sus in the next couple of hours

 

[supershorty]

TRYING AGAIN

Here's the quotes from Basics. I pulled a few more because "the first page of the ISO" from that game was 2 posts. So these don't really fit what I was seeing with the more recent games - and I don't know how much stock I want to put in that because this game was so long ago, but it's a data point.

There's really only 1 game-focused post within here, and it's light defense of a packmate. The rest are just fluff or tallying to look helpful.

Spoiler

I was gonna yeet mayo but he's not here🙁
Dang. I wanted to make a little tradition, he was my day 1 for the last 2 games.

I'm bored and dont wanna do my school work and I feel the compulsive need to organize and this was kinda fun last time.

unofficial D1 Yeet Tally
April (2)- AM, alley
AM (1)- genny
Dina (1)- April
Alley (1)- Sloth
Dubz (1)- kras
kras (1)- shorty
Sloth (1)- cray
MsP (1)- Dina

Yeet close in 30ish hours? More than 24 for sure. Idk time zones hurt my brain.
missing- about half of us

my first post tag didn't alert me but i saw the link on the signup thread. My tags have been super weird lately🙁

I like the tactic of withholding food for yeets lol

Nah the thread was just quiet and I was procrastinating

The noob game if memory serves?
Holy CRAP everyone is posting fast. Every time I got to the bottom I got the little "there are more posts do you wanna view them" thing

nearly yeetable for being against glinda

what does VCA mean. My brain goes straight to the VCA chain of veterinary clinics lol

???? intel?

Also not any one post in particular but more of an overall tone, and because I'm still reeling from last game, but I can't tell if WZ is woofing bold or just really proud of herself after the last game/her tone is always just very confident

😲

Spoiler: you have been changed for good

hmmm boyfriend reads, genuine or a new wolf throwing his girlfriend under the bus?
im not touching my own new wolf reads after how horribly wrong i was last time though lol
im still so sorry zenge

oh no you're right its this. Id be so mad if i knew I missed out on indian.

what is up your sleeve oh god

yes same lets keep it this way plz

I think the only thing I can say in my defense is striss+Tired+Uterus issues = not in a very jokey mood I sry

 

[Viscernable]

This, here. And then saying she doesn't remember people's usual tones. If you don't remember usual tones, then how can you say whether or not pleasy's tone is the same or different?

This is a fair point

 

[Viscernable]

I was saying I don't know if her tone is different or not so I don't understand the argument

Ah, that makes sense

 

[supershorty]

So we're really gonna do the thing where it's 2 hours to vote close and half the roster is holding their votes, huh?

 

[dolphin106258]

Unfortunately but also kind of how I figured it would go I'm feeling more confident with peeps I've played with compared to everyone I never have, I don't think Barks is striking me in a wolfy way at the moment. Pleasy (is that what we're going with correct me if I'm wrong) is hard for me at the moment I feel like I'm not agreeing with all of the logic but eh. PSV and the sister thing is obscuring me not because of what they're saying but based on THAT being folks focus for a bit. However I didn't like this exchange:

This doesn't feel very productive. Aside from the game functioning as practice for zenge and shorty, I don't really understand yeeting someone based on personal beliefs rather than their play.

I don't want to relitigate it again. It's as valid of a reason to vote somewhere in the opening hours as old grudges, lulz, or any of the many other reasons people vote where they do in H1 of a game.

The fact that it gets an immediate strong response kind of proves my plot armor point valid.

Or provides something more valuable once people start to flip.

And that doesn't make me feel better about PSV.

Shorty genny and dubz are in that I know you're experienced and could easily be pulling one over on me but I also feel village about them.

Zenge, sunshine and vis are just I don't know, I dont know them, I don't know what your tones or playstyle or anything so IM CONFUSED!

Cray, paws and true I guess are in my grey area where I feel like they have enough content posts for me to judge them and therefore feel more wolfy vibes. Based on what they've said and/or tone that I'm taking from posts but they're definitely not super strong feelz.

 

[dolphin106258]

yeet PSV

For now to make things more exciting also why are we saying yeet?

 

[Zenge142]

And that doesn't make me feel better about PSV.

Why does this exchange make you feel iffy about PSV?

 

[supershorty]

Can you point to some specifics in this group's posts that bothered you?

 

[dolphin106258]

Why does this exchange make you feel iffy about PSV?

Because I kind of agree with mayo in the sense of why bother bringing it up. Maybe its just past experiences for me, but I've seen where people say oh why do a joke vote why do this early on the first day and make it a talking point when in reality its not that odd and it feels forced, so that you have something to say thats valuable for the village.

 

[WildZoo]

yeet PSV

We switched terminology to vote/yeet a little while back 🙂

Okay but the conversation was about PSV not understanding Mayo’s reasoning for voting for me. PSV comes across as genuinely perplexed at it.

Mayo isn’t talking about a joke vote here. He’s not joke voting. He’s making a very real vote for reasons of simply pushing the people who are supposed to be training.

I don’t think either Mayo or I want to have the argument about the logic behind this again for a 2nd year running, but PSVs perplexity over the issue reads genuine to me, especially since I agree with the view point she’s seeing.

 

[Crayola227]

Can you elaborate more on Barkey?

I don't know. Can't pretend to read her well. I like pressure there too.

 

[vetschoolsletmeinplease]

Cause is more funny

Hrmmmm

So basically a sassy joke vote?

But then there is this response that mayo liked, I get what you're saying but I think my point is still valid

 

[dolphin106258]

We switched terminology to vote/yeet a little while back 🙂

Ahh okay I didn't know if we were doing yeet instead of vote for a particular reason but yes yeet is more funny for sure

 

[JustPaws]

I just caught up on thread and I feel like I didn't process any of what I read. Ugh

You don't need to apologize for yeeting me if that's what you feel the strongest. It's weird playing with my sister and I am confusion about how to interact with her.

Oh good, we're in the same boat then since I haven't read a bunch of it

Another game, another early PSV push. Truly my father's daughter.

Correct.

I really think this sister biz is ridiculous. Just interect with her as fun as you both want to and if uou get voted off who cares.

At this point I kind of want to see who started this cuz it's kind of got an easy wolf target feel to it and your reaction feels pretty vill

 

[Zenge142]

I’m not sure Cubs get pushed early that often…

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I’m not sure Cubs get pushed early that often…

Thought he was eternally sketchy and always was pushed early?

 

[dolphin106258]

Can you point to some specifics in this group's posts that bothered you?

For paws weirdly enough it was the post talking about me getting village points, I can't tell you what it is exactly it just reminded me of a past game and I can't get the feeling out of my head that makes me feel weird. And cray its not specific posts, and I have done this with cray before but I feel like I get more quantity than quality and I have a hard time following the logic. True I believe there were specific posts, hold please. I found them I don't think you're going to agree because of what you've already said this game but as a traditional low poster as village or wolf I find these kinds of posts to do very little when you're actually village and just always give me wolf vibes. But all of these reasons aren't super concrete which is why my vote is not there at the moment.

Hard placing a vote when some folks still haven't put anything out there. Would love if we could get a least some initial feelings/reads from everyone before we get too close to vote close?



+50 village points, Barks confirmed bloc

Not to pick on him, but for example Zenge has 7 posts, only few of which could be considered "content". I'm not getting bad vibes from him (and wouldn't vote for him today either way), but I feel comfortable saying that he hasn't really contributed to the thread substantially.

Most people are wishy washy on D1 (self included, I haven't voted yet for a reason), but by now we've had enough discussion and we're close enough to yeet close that you'd hope everyone would have hit the post minimum.

Phrased another way, I think I now have enough experience on both sides of the table to say that quiet threads are good for the wolves.

 

[dolphin106258]

Another game, another early PSV push. Truly my father's daughter.

I don't see two votes and not in the lead as a push but to each their own.

This is just the way True is. I think the quotes you have are all very village True.

 

[vetschoolsletmeinplease]

point I kind of want to see who started this

Spoiler: Oops

All though I will say I don’t think it’s blown out of proportion I’m the only one finding PSV sus for it

I agree on the point of the sister, and that's not why my vote is on her for the record but I do feel like people pushing or continuing the narrative around it (not saying you Paws) were getting some sketch looks from me, which is what I was mentioning in my earlier post.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I don't see two votes and not in the lead as a push but to each their own.

My interpretation of "push" is applying pressure. Not necessarily quantity.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

the narrative

I would like to be excluded from this narrative.
(Speaking of, I may be kicking around the idea of doing a Taylor Swift themed WW game... stay tuned.)

 

[potentialsheltervet]

There was a game where pleasy was almost (mis)yoten very early on-- pretty sure it was a wolfy wagon. Will have to go back and look but I think it was GlobetWWotting. Interested in checking out the tone differences between this game and that one.

She did make a MIRACULOUS comeback in Globe, but I don't think it was early on? but some bad mod apparently didn't update the ToC past D2 so hold pls while I go check the spreadsheet for that game

Anyway, the question I'm more interested in is who on the wagon you think is wolfy.

Ah nope, it was on D2, the wagon just dissipated ENTIRELY by EOD so I didn't see it when I looked at the final tally.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Anyway, the question I'm more interested in is who on the wagon you think is wolfy.

That was more of an aside. My thinking is she was village in GlobetWWotting and I'm fairly certain the push on her included at least true/was wolf-motivated. So hypothetically, if she's village being incorrectly pushed here like she was in Globe, her tone should be relatively similar. I want to investigate that.

 

[JustPaws]

Spoiler: Oops

All though I will say I don’t think it’s blown out of proportion I’m the only one finding PSV sus for it

Ok so after a reread I am getting please and psv confused. Lots of pressure on please which I think I agree with and barely any on psv which makes her "early pressure on psv" quote ridiculous

I agree on the point of the sister, and that's not why my vote is on her for the record but I do feel like people pushing or continuing the narrative around it (not saying you Paws) were getting some sketch looks from me, which is what I was mentioning in my earlier post.

Yes I see that after re read.

OKAY well if you're doing taylor swift theme I may have to rethink everything lol

 

[potentialsheltervet]

barely any on psv which makes her "early pressure on psv" quote ridiculous

I may be a touch hypersensitive because I seem to have a pattern of being voted early on in basically every game I play, and I really don't want to die early because WW saves me from the stress of dealing with my smol boi with sharp teeth.

Shorty I think already looked into this and she thinks I’m more serious here and more game focused than village!pleasey usually is
I say it’s bc of irl suckiness not putting me in a bubbly mood but I think you’ll likely come to the same conclusion as shorty

The push on her in that game was started by a villager and didn't get a wolf on it until the 4th vote. She had 9 votes on her at 1 point (which was 2 shy of being everyone in the game).
