cold take

 

[Animal Midwife]

I mean it has been a minute and I generally like her reasoning in other games.

I gave Cray a few sus points for her opening post. But I don't want to pile on that vote yet until she comes back

Talking about piling on despite only Santy being there. Doesn't align with previous reaction of Zenge single vote not being something to sweat about.

 

[Animal Midwife]

7 pages you goobers???

I can't do it today. I'm traveling and have a 3 hour drive ahead of me with screaming cats and a screaming baby.

Santy's vote for me the justification is bad, but they're also a noob so I don't know that I expect them to understand that it's bad and I'm not sure if it's nooby bad or wolfy bad.

I'm not going to be at all caught up by EOD, I won't be here, and I have to just drop a vote or else I won't have one dropped at all guaranteed. Once I get off my phone today that's pretty much it until the wee hours.

dunking santy

nervousness about it being a yeet day

 

[Animal Midwife]

Can someone very quickly explain Santygrass and what they are doing here in this forum?

looks unaligned

 

[Animal Midwife]

shorty knows them from playing champs on MU (i think?) and so now they are here

alissa explains but seems to have limited knowlede of all side effects

 

[Animal Midwife]

Also Crayola, I think that... Alissa also thought that first post was bad. Are they also nooby for thinking that?

pulling up uneven treatment between him and alissa

 

[Animal Midwife]

Her reasoning made more sense than yours.

terse for some reason

 

[Animal Midwife]

lol wut reasoning? All i said was your opening post is weird and gave you a few sus points for it. Never explained the "why." That "why" being throwing light shade on zenge and dubz simply for lack of emojis in their opening post is oddly specific and seems stretchy

fighting back at terse response

 

[Animal Midwife]

As of right now, squinting the most at Cray and alissa. Can't lean MJ one way or the other and waiting for a certain baby sloth to crawl in.

good start

 

[Animal Midwife]

As of right now? Absolutely.
But I'm not going to plant my flag on the moon stating I've found the pack D1. (yet)

Mentions specifically that Cray/alissa have equity as the team.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Cray (3) - Santygrass, Kaidubs, WildZoo
Santy (1) - Psv
Trilt (1) - AM

Im back. Super tired, but Im back.
Idk if I missed a vote while catching up



Aaand, by your logic, if its somthing 'normal' from your meta... Why you say that could be wolfy to sus it from the player that doesnt know it but its okay from the player that KNOWS your meta and shouldn't see it as weird?? Like I feel you have the reads reversed or something cuz that logic doesnt add up tbh



It is what it is . You can take it as that I want to see more from you cuz I really like you. You can ignore the judging and slightly sus and paranoia from me and be happy



If you want I can call you my Beta u////u .

I guess you are refering here to tha playstyle of being more vocal ig or 'making things happen' moreso than 'letting things happen'

I think they are tbh. I dont see much sense to the logic Cray was using, or how alissa called oit Cray first post but doesnt jump in the wagon

But you make a good point here tbh. I think that interaction doesnt feel partnered relooking at Alissa's part tbh

Lesgoooo, keep doing that good stuff <3

@potentialsheltervet Do you think that voting me will achieve something here? A naked vote at that

more good points on Cray

 

[Animal Midwife]

Whom to vote, whomst to votest..
Yeet... alissa?

maybe good

depends on alissa's flip

 

[Animal Midwife]

The math ain’t mathin’

Is there something different I’m doing that differs from other games?

hm

 

[Animal Midwife]

Maybe I don’t play or know cray well enough then because I don’t recall this being a trend for her and at first read it struck me as odd and out of character

more cray shade

 

[Animal Midwife]

See below

On re-read this line seems off to me. Almost like asking where she should direct sus towards.

Out of all of Cray’s posts, this one above has the most substance. Even so, nothing about this is inherently pingy

Yet it seems that Cray has moved more into a wolf lean. And this is after santy and I put light sus there. Seems a bit sheepy

What caused this shift?

now defending cray?

 

[Animal Midwife]

My reads are looking something like…

Dubz
AM
Santy
Zenge
Cray
PSV

Not enough data: MJ, trilt, stoat

reads list

 

[Animal Midwife]

I'd put Cray, WZ, PSV and stoat on my wolfy vibe radar, but I'm struggling a titch because several of these are incompatible as a pack.

I'm very curious to see what Dubz' Cray vote justification is, because as far as I can see she stated no suspicions towards her prior to laying it down, and it made her into a pretty decent lead.

Would also like to know because I could see any combination of that 4 as a possibility…

talks about foreign bussing fantasy

 

[Animal Midwife]

She didn’t though. I did an ISO showing the progression of it

Talks about PSV avoiding Cray

 

[Animal Midwife]

My reads and leans are now looking more like:
santy
AM
Trilt
Zenge
Dubz
stoat
Cray
PSV

???: MJ

updated POE

 

[Animal Midwife]

Than stoat, Cray, MJ? Not really. Tbf I think I'd prefer to yeet Cray or MJ before stoat for ~sentimental reasons~ but if the pack isn't exactly Cray/MJ I guess I'd go stoat.
Alissa after that, I think.

this could be reasonable

just bummed I didn't see this POE in action fiscal yesterday

 

[Trilt]

Last Saturday night and my handle is The White Knight, how bout it

stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

It feels like you don't care
Oh, why don't you recognize I'm so rare?

Spoke too soon, spoke too soon

Save me from the nothing I've become

Oh we got so close so close...
But you had to go and mess it up

Can you clarify these posts, please, WZ? Some I obviously got the vibe, but would like you to just use real words haha.

 

[alissa14]

Can’t sleep again.

It was just process of elimination for me. I had stronger reasons for Cray to be unpartnered with everyone else.

I mean you could make an actual case for Alissa's bus-range vote on Cray d1 and then move to MJ when that became viable. Doesn't look great for her.

For today I'd need to look back at what general thread temperature was when she placed her vote.

Dubz my move to MJ was AFTER he was already in the lead. My move from Cray to MJ did not affect the outcome. I’ve said this so many times. If I was a wolf, better to stay on Cray’s vote and gain the points from VCA later without actually yeeting my partner.

Cray did really go after me for "castigating" Alissa for her D1 Zenge vote...which isn't what I did and was one of the things that was killing me to not be able to respond to. I haven't decided yet if that was too much defense to be partnery.

Yeah idk why Cray kept defending me? Maybe it’s because I said I usually found her posts reasonable (I mentioned this early in the game) and she was trying to pocket me.

I'm actually really upsetti spaghetti that I didn't get the satisfaction of arguing with wolf!Cray today.

Alisssaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yes hi

I saw the threadstate. She could have escaped. Would have required some serious powerwolfing but I think as the thread got quieter, they both gave up.

Ma’am I was trying to study 8 different subjects.

 

[alissa14]

Cray and I being partners is literally incompatible. I have had her consistently in my POE from the start. I did start to feel bad with her AtE but I wasn’t sure and I still wanted her out because her flip would be information gained either way.

 

[alissa14]

now defending cray?

I was not defending Cray. It was an analysis of all of Cray’s points at that point in thread. And this was the only one that actually had content and wasn’t fluff. And I didn’t find anything particularly pingy about the post. I have literally had Cray in the bottom or 2nd to bottom of my POE the entire game. I may partake in the occasional bussing (though it has been quite awhile since I last wolfed), but damn you guys are making it sound like an entire school’s worth of busses or something

Spoiler: This is not me

Bonus points if you know this movie.

Must try to sleep for a few hours. Will be back. Going to take an extra hard look at PSV, Trilt, and Santy tomorrow

 

[alissa14]

Really?

For once tis I who have been ninja'd...

Eh. I feel okay about you and Dubz atm. Santy is funny so I want to village lean him but not at all confident there. AM wee village lean. Cray is firm neutral.
Closest I have to a wolf read is Alissa but frankly she has a wolfy aura all the time and I get a lot of her frustration with being misyoten early, so...
So, no. Not particularly wolf reading anyone at the moment. Waiting for the remainder of the roster to appear and for Cray to post additional content.

Actually, does anyone have any semblance of a wolf read right now? Other than Santy leaning Cray wolf I don't think I've seen much sus.

This second post of PSV’s missed the sus I threw on shade for her emoji comment. I also still don’t LOVE this post from PSV. She’s basically asking for everyone’s POE and it somewhat seems like a wolf trying to sheep. Also Cray liked this second post

 

[Trilt]

Bonus points if you know this movie.

the behind the scenes for this shot is super cool!

 

[Trilt]

Hey @Trilt

Remember when you bugged me about piling on the Cray yeet d1 😛

I do!

I actually want to go re-read those posts, because one thing that bugged me is you said you liked Santy's points about Cray and I felt like he really just questioned her a little, nothing hard hitting.

In that context you using his justification was weird. In the face of him bailing off her lynch when possible and her flip, it's a bad look.

This was less helpful than I'd hoped. This was pretty much their interactions prior to Dubz yeeting:

Going back to work for a but (inb4 I only work for 5 minutes and come back)
But Crayola's first post pinged me as kinda forced. Like trying to appear that they are making a read but not being really 'serious'. And like either you are serious or you lolcat at start, you cant do both smh

Do you know Dubz? This is weird.

Her reasoning made more sense than yours.

I dont know anyone here, but I dont need to know someone to form a read based on this game tbh.

I have them as null and they did a good amount of posts tbh. So my reasoning is that maybe a little pressure there could help form my read better

Could you walk me through this? Their reasoning was that your first post was 'weird' .

Like, isnt that very vague? How is it a better reasoning?

Because the reasoning you gave literally gave as a reason something that is part of my meta, it's literally just what I do. But I also don’t expect you to know that.

Alissa on the other hand, I know she knows my meta, and she just said she thought it was weird. She also didn't vote me. She finds it weird, she finds it weird. I would be more sus if she used it as an opening to push my vote but she didn't. So overall it made more sense to me.

But I am now only caught up to that point. I am seeing some posts now out of order

Your post after I asked you about an explanation for the vote:

@Trilt I know you haven't played in a while but fluffy early d1 is my normal and always has been.

I didn't like Cray's pop-in with excuses for absence and complaining about thread-length. Reminded me of some of her posts in anniversary (where she was wolfing). I liked Santy's analysis so I had no problem seeing where that vote went. She hasn't been back (that I've seen, just skimmed a bit catching up) for me to do any pushing so not sure why the fact that hasn't occured is my fault.

It wasn't like he made that vote and never talked about his reads again though. He gave reasoning for it later and gave other analysis too. What I'm saying is I was comfortable with his play, so when I was also pinged by her there was the additional benefit of voting with someone I was comfortable with. I don't see how that's so odd.

I'd still say there's pretty minimal actual content from Santy in this space, but as a d1 vote, I'm more satisfied lol.

 

[Trilt]

I'm torn on Santy, but do just want to point out that after starting the Cray yeet, he was a deciding factor on swapping the final vote from her to MJ:

9PM Tally:

Day 1: Friendship is Magic?

Crayola227 (5) - Santygrass, WildZoo, bluestoat, alissa, MadJack
Trilt (0) -
Zenge (0) -
alissa (0) -
bluestoat (1) - AM
MadJack (3) - Zenge, Trilt, PSV
9/10

Missing: 1/10; @Crayola227

Vote closes tonight (Tuesday, September 6th, 2022) at 9 p.m. CST/10 p.m. EST (1 hour on the dot.)

This public tag of Cray and callout for a vote makes me pause, because it's hardly subtle and something that could have just been said in wolfchat:

wanted you to vote her , that way the wagons would be in two people I was interested in.

Also

Unyeet Cray

@Crayola227 I will vote with you if you vote in Stoat/Mad Jack

Leaving the tally here:

Crayola227 (4) - WildZoo, bluestoat, alissa, MadJack
Trilt (0) -
Zenge (0) -
alissa (0) -
bluestoat (1) - AM
MadJack (5) - Zenge, Trilt, PSV, Santy, Cray
10/10

Alissa's swap honestly does make me move her more village, not less - no need for it, and Cray had just revealed a PR and mane character in the last half hour, the chances of people jumping back on that yeet (so making it scary to not waffle) was meh

Unyeet cray

I very much suspect Santy will be my vote today despite the over the top Cray defending this last day (which does just feel wrong for a packmate). I very much dislike that he still never properly justified his yeet on me and called out my role in thread, which if not wolfy was very much less than ideal village play.

If not him on flip, I'd prob look at AM (I know I know, fite me) next. I feel pretty OK with the Zenge/WZ/Alissa/PSV block.

Posting this all now because I'm going into a weekend of work, which is back to back 12 hour shifts, which usually turn into 14+ hour shifts... I'll stop in when I can, but will likely be super sporadic until Monday.

 

[Santygrass]

I didnt call out your role in thread, what I was doing was make it seem more dangerous than it is, but oh well imagine reassessing. Going to buy you a clown wig so we both clowning after I flip zzzzz

Being wrong is part of the game, I'm not calling you 100% for sure definitive grade A wolf, I'm just saying you're more sketchy to me than anyone else right now.

I have several wigs still unpacked from last weekend, though - we have short and long blue wig, purple and pink wig, and long brown braid options for our clowns. 😛

Day 2

Winona did a circle and laid down to rest. It had been a long few days of tending to the fields and the farm; she was always working her hardest, like any good border collie does. Every good border collie sometimes has weary bones, and Winona was getting older. She never complained, but this work wasn't as easy as it once was. The last few days of unexpected rainstorms kept her busy herding someponies into dry, safe barns to shelter.

During the night, someone decided that maybe today should be Winona's last good day. They crept into the living room and over to her dog bed and slowly, lovingly, suffocated her. "Stay, Winona. It won't hurt soon." They stroked her floppy ears. "Good girl."

She wagged her tail to herself as her life faded. She was a good girl, wasn't she?

Dead is @Zenge142 - Winona, village neighborizer​

Can you clarify these posts, please, WZ? Some I obviously got the vibe, but would like you to just use real words haha.

Last Saturday night and my handle is The White Knight, how bout it

Santy had asked why he would be defending Cray if he were a wolf and she was village. This was saying he could be White Knighting.

Cray/Alissa

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

...
Being honest [it] Doesn't feel right

The only Cray pair that made sense to me after looking through interactions, but it didn't quite feel right either.

Still none of them quite feel right so I'll need to read over some things again this cycle.

Talk about talk about talk about...

Trilt = ????

Cray 👀

I had mentioned early on that I thought wolves would be mechanically more powerful than village. At this time it had sounded like you had a decent PR, and since I was village reading you and MJ flipped jailor, it was more reason to question the existence of a village affiliation seer.

stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

...

It feels like you don't care
Oh, why don't you recognize I'm so rare?

Spoke too soon, spoke too soon

This one actually tickles me enough that I'm going to leave it vague for now. It's not important anymore since Cray flipped.

(⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Before I come undone (save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Just frustration with Zenge not answering my questions

Oh we got so close so close...
But you had to go and mess it up

This was just letting Santy know that he was close to interpreting correctly, but then veered off track. I was trying to ask Zenge why he was on Cray because he seemed more convinced in Santy's wolfiness, but at the time I didn't think he also thought they could be partners. The question I kept trying to ask him was why he was voting for Cray if he didn't believe in the partnerings I proposed, and why he wasn't voting Santy himself (since he'd asked me that question).

 

[WildZoo]

Rude, wolf. Very rude. I'll remember that.

 

[WildZoo]

Sporty entertaining herself putting a dog in a horse game I see

 

[WildZoo]

Heh

But he was a dog

 

[WildZoo]

Hmmm I wonder if woofs thought the same thing I did initially during the PSV/Zenge vs AM/sort of me discussion last night

 

[Santygrass]

Thats ... A weird kill? Hm

 

[WildZoo]

If not him on flip, I'd prob look at AM

 

[Santygrass]

Like, I was thinking between PSV/alissa , and why would PSV make that kill?
Thinking emoji

 

[Santygrass]

Could be that my reads were spot on D1 but then I took them into the trash at EoD ans procceeded to level up my skill issue to unprecedented amounts?

 

[WildZoo]

Thats ... A weird kill? Hm

I think they probably thought he was a protector. That was where my head went first during the discussions yesterday, but then I remembered we'd had a jailor flip already, and decided based on particular phrasing that it was something PM related instead.

Which, to me makes it unlikely that PSV did it. Would have been weird to kill Zenge over someone likely to vote her when she knew his ability.

 

[Santygrass]

Yep. Psv both knew that Zenge wasnt nothing dangerous and had them kinda pocketed. Unless its a Giga Brain kill by them to make us think that. But wowee I dont think that

 

[Santygrass]

Yeet Alissa

 

[WildZoo]

Yep. Psv both knew that Zenge wasnt nothing dangerous and had them kinda pocketed. Unless its a Giga Brain kill by them to make us think that. But wowee I dont think that

Yeah if she went for that move I'm okay with losing to that level of play lol

 

[WildZoo]

@potentialsheltervet are you in a sharing mood this morning? I have a theory that makes some things make more sense but I don't want to go off of assumptions.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

For some reason liked by both Cray and PSV.

I forgot that you existed
*hahaha*

Yeah if she went for that move I'm okay with losing to that level of play lol

I'm not that girl...

Just wanted to know if Zenge was actually in the neighborhood with you, or if he just neighborized you and Trilt.

Also if he tried to add me, he died before the action went through unfortunately 😔
