Noobs...in SPAAAAACE - 5th Annual Noob WW Game

But yes, in general the idea is that one or the other is a wolf. If they were both wolves, it doesn't make much sense for pickles to pick beagle. Their numbers are too small comparatively still.

 

[Barkley13]

I think i am following what dirk was saying...he had an object, he gave it to pickles, because he could not use it himself...and apparently it was a seering type thing. pickles then came up with some weird thing, and voted to lynch beagles. so the reasoning is that if beagle is a wolf, then pickles is village, but if beagle is village, then pickles is a wolf. But what if they are both wolves, and pickles is throwing beagle under the bus to make themselves look good?

or what if the crackling announcement was pickles being infested with an alien, that made her do the weirdo posting restriction, weird lynch thing?

This is possible but I don't know how likely it is at this point because if I recall correctly neither of them had many votes on them yesterday and people weren't too suspicious of them. To me it seems like one is village and one wolf or even both village

Again, the last one is unlikely. If pickles doesn't know, I don't think she would pick someone at random hoping for a wolf since A) she's much more likely to pick a villager, and B) she knew I would jump on her bandwagon which would likely cause others to do so as well.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Unless she's completely under alien control, which I guess is a possibility. But that's a big wildcard, and it makes sense to just assume that isn't happening and then deal with it later if it is.

Where is this coming from?

Also, it seems it wasn't a post restriction. She seems to just having been silly

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

Is somebody will I g to say if they're infested with an alien?

We are in space. weird, crackling announcement that sounds as if security has been breached...then somebody starts acting weird....seems that is how every alien invasion/infestation movie has started...

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

I don't think an alien parasite would expose itself that easily. She said she had to work. We didn't really doubt when other people said they had busy days, so why are we anchoring on pickles being an alien host?

 

[killerleaf]

I wasn't saying her absence was the result of the alien, but rather her weird riddle/lynch

That isnt what I was getting at.

I have seen it in other games before.

Infected players can usually be saved by some mechanism or another.

Fair enough.

Also remember this is an noob game. I don’t think they're going to go too insane. But I could be wrong.

 

[Stagg737]

I thought padawans were noobs. Isn’t the phrase “patience young padawan” or something?

We are (at least noobs to SDN), but we are more experienced noobs and from my understanding is that it's our job to help with game mechanics and basic game strategies. @WildZoo , @Trilt , @vetmedhead can correct me if I'm incorrect.

So I am a bit confused. Does this mean someone in the group was connected with moose and knew moose was a villager? And this person will die soon without intervention?

So adding to the types of roles. I'm not certain about lovers as I've never seen them before, but there are two other kinds of "PM partners" I'm aware of. The first is MASONS. Typically masons are able to PM with each other and mods will confirm to both players that they are village. So they are useful as they can act as a core for a village bloc (confirmed group of villagers in communication). The counterpart to masons are NEIGHBORS. Neighbors are essentially the same thing as masons, except there is no mod confirmation that they are both village. So they can PM with each other, but they do not know if the other person is a wolf or villager.

@sheltermed it does say here she was a lover

Idk what the transmission means either. Maybe they are converting someone?

Why would you think this would mean a convert?

Could the deck8 have anything to do with it? Maybe something with @Doctor-S

It could possibly just be mod flair, as some mods may add random points for flare. Also very possible that some sort of behind-the-scenes event happened or someone activated an ability. There are a lot of possibilities, but it is a good thing to keep in mind going forward.

You're supposed to be looking out for the village as a whole. If your dying means killing one of the wolves, you sacrifice yourself for the good of the village. You don't even know for sure that you'd be killed. This game is not about looking out for #1.

edit: especially this early in the game. if we didn't have this many players left I would understand not wanting to sacrifice yourself to maintain village numbers, but right now I think it would be a good sacrifice.

Are you suggesting a PR out themselves as a sacrifice to catch a single wolf? Especially early in the game?!? Side-eyeing you reeeaaal hard for that statement...

If we lynch beagle and she is a wolf, then we get a wolf and know pickles is village.

How do we know the bolded?

It is a common enough mechanism. I believe it last occurred during a Walking Dead game and prior to that was a rehab game.

An example of lovers was seen in the meats game last year.

Checking-in to this thread:


Pickle, Coffee? and M935. Have already cast lynch votes against Beagle, following some posts between pickle “Buddy the Elf” and others on D2. Will be curious if they keep their lynch votes on Beagle because if they still want to lynch Beagle at the end of D2, it would appear as if they have reliable information that Beagle was a wolf *if* Beagle is a wolf in this game.

@Beagle-Brigade. Based on the above, I'd like to hear more from you.

Not sure why everyone is jumping on this idea that pickles or I have to be a wolf. Sure her random cryptic vote could be a way to use an item on me, or communicate to another player, or maybe it was to test and see if I'm anything? Maybe it protects me? I don't totally understand items but there was something really weird to me about that, hence my lynch vote today.

The payoff for a wolf to get another wolf lynched is going to be much lower than getting a villager lynched. It would be a bad choice to get one of their own killed when there are only 4-5 of them.

The bolded is a good thought. Bussing is a great way for wolves to gain village cred, but it's high risk as it obviously leads to lower wolf numbers. A bus this early would be a bold move, but certainly something to think about.

but there's no way to test for that really.

Well, there is one way...

But I could be wrong.

Depends on the mod. Since it's @WildZoo , I wouldn't put anything past her.

This is possible but I don't know how likely it is at this point because if I recall correctly neither of them had many votes on them yesterday and people weren't too suspicious of them. To me it seems like one is village and one wolf or even both village

I wouldn't put it past wolves, but it also depends on the wolf. Some are adamantly against bussing unless absolutely necessary. Some are complete wildcards and will do anything at any point. From a personal point of view, in a noob game this would be an extremely bold (and probably unwise) move to bus a wolf this early without any provocation, but I would still keep it in the back of your mind if you're village.

There is also a possibility that you're a wolf and gave Pickles a faulty item which would say whoever she looked into was a wolf. In which case village would think either Pickles or Beagle is a wolf when they're both village. It would potentially lead to two consecutive mislynches and allow wolves to have 2 free NKs. Of course if this occurs and they both flip village you'd be the obvious next target. Not saying any of that is true. Just thinking out loud

 

[killerleaf]

ORRRR Dirk is a wolf, and gave pickles an item because he knew she was a wolf, and this whole thing is a ploy between them to get a villager gone...

 

[killerleaf]

wait, sorry,....meant to say that there really wasn't an item at all....

this is what happens when you are trying to do this at work and people walk in the middle of when you are typing.

Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, I am, Beagle Easter and Paws Santa for waiting. We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving. Oh, there's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives. It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me.

True. But that would still risk having her actually find a wolf. If I were a wolf, I’d do something with less risk to wolves.

Okay with this I’m now more inclined t believe the weird alien thing.

 

[Dandelion18]

Does this change how you feel about Beagle? Or do you still think her vote is legit?

Now I’m not sure. Princess conseula banana hammock is from friends. There’s definitely a riddle in there. It could just be jibberish I guess.

 

[killerleaf]

plus the "we are the world" and isn't that last part from a onerepublic song???

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

This could be the “aliens” sabotaging my plan to expose a wolf. Or maybe it’s misdirection and beagle is still the wolf.

 

[killerleaf]

ok, so google is my friend. so the first part is a friends reference, and the last part is all lyrics from We Are the World....

 

[Dandelion18]

Random thoughts that I would appreciate anyone else's insight to--If pickles has been hit with a post restriction, is it worthwhile to hold off on lynching her until she can defend herself? Is it too convenient that she and M### were the center of attention yesterday and now she is post restricted and people want to lynch her when she can't defend herself?

 

[Doctor-S]

How did you come to this conclusion? I don't really think she's said anything particularly helpful except defining lovers and masons for us. She defended herself against my theory against her, and then she voted for beagle without giving any reason, presumably trusting pickle's oddities. I don't see any of that as active wolf hunting.

I had to go back and re-read thread. Coffee posted on D1 and made comment about mypet, based on a “certain posting style” she noticed in a different WW game that had nothing to do with this Space Noob game. FWIW, I don't have any conclusions about anything at this stage of the game. Will catch up on posts.

Umm this is mousse's first game, I was referencing this game 🙂

 

[Doctor-S]

Pickles. Seems to be talking in riddles. Might want to mislead folks, or provide info that is not reliable info; or she has become dysfunctional.

I searched Google for a reference to “Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.” In an episode on “Friends,” Phoebe was legally able to change her name to whatever she wanted. Does this mean pickles can assume different identities in this game, at will, or under the direction of someone else?

FWIW … I also searched for Beagle Easter (it was called Easter Beagle in a Charlie Brown television show) and Santa Paws (it was in a Disney movie).

[Dandelion18]

Is it possible that pickle used an item and as a result has to post like this?

It might be? As far as I can tell, either this is a side effect of whatever she tried to do with an item last night OR someone used a different item on her to cause the post restriction. I assume her night time write up told her which one it was, but it looks like she can't tell us one way or the other while the post restriction applies.

More comments:

Pickles, Coffee, M935Coffee. These players have gotten together and cast strong lynch votes against Beagle. If they don’t waffle back-and-forth later on and change their votes against Beagle at the end of D1 (and Beagle is lynched at the end of the D2 - but Beagle turns out to be a villager), I’ll be inclined to look hard at pickles, M935 and Coffee on D3. Or, were they provided with wrong information (e.g., from pickles) who seems to be speaking in riddles/nonsense on D2?

Oh, yeah I don't know. That does seem fishy. But at this point, I'm just waiting to see what happens with beagles/pickles. If enough people vote for beagle and she gets lynched, we will know whether she or pickles is a wolf.

Meaning I can't say I believe someone is a wolf? I don't know for sure who is a wolf. I just know of a way to find out which one of two people are.

M935. He wants to lynch Beagle and claims to “know a way to find out which one of two people” are a wolf. This claim seems risky to me because it's telling everyone that he has some sort of ability to identify wolves or wolfy players. I’d think the wolves would think hard about killing M935 and get him out of the way asap, unless the wolves have some reason for wanting to keep M935 in the game, and they do not want to kill him off right now.

With respect to pickles' recent post about Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, Beagle Easter, Santa Paws, and We are World references:

Okay with this I’m now more inclined t believe the weird alien thing.

@picklegurl are you able to say anything more ... yanno ... to help us understand what you're saying, or not saying? It's seems confusing.
