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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
**********************************
lol. WZ, I have a 1/3 finished game sheet revolving around hitchhikers from a couple years ago. Good noob stuff.
Hope there are sneaky wwers with wit and cunning in the making! Have a great game, new players, and remember...

********************
This game isn't entirely hitchhikers (just a decent portion because 😍 ), but I would LOVE a game that was!
 
This is what wolf hunting from coffee looks like 😉



1. Pickles is sketchy
2. Matt isnt sketchy
3. Killer is sketchy



1. Pickles is sketchy



1. Matt should be lynched (inconsistent)



1. Killer isnt sketchy (inconsistent) but should still be lynched (what?)
2. Pickles is good choice for wolf



1. Pickles may not be a wolf at all but still lynching her (inconsistent)
I'm disappointed you stuck with a consistent numbering scheme

I started working on a tally like 20 minutes ago and then got distracted. Glad I can always count on you 😍
 
ok wow, a lot to catch up on from today so here goes:

I had to include a third party so had to trust someone to not be a wolf. We’ll see if my trust pays off.

@Matthew9Thirtyfive unless I missed it, and if I did please let me know, you have yet to show any proof of anything from D1. You kept telling everyone you have something beneficial power and we needed to wait until night…well it’s D2 what can you prove?


Seems reasonable.

LYNCH BEAGLE.

You’re lynching beagle simply because pickles did? Within a matter of 10 minutes you followed her lead on lynching beagle, what makes you so sure she’s lynching a wolf?


No. I just have a better hunch that someone else is, so I'm going with probabilities. Grebes could definitely still be a wolf.

You also keep mentioning that you have these “hunches” on who you think the wolf/wolves are. How do we know you’re not trying to steer us to lynch the villagers to save the pack?

Given how much talking got people mistakenly thinking I was a wolf last time, I'm not sure I want to reveal too much info right now.

How do we know we weren’t right and you are a wolf? What can you prove that will make us think otherwise?

But I am cautiously optimistic that my info is good.

Again, what makes you so optimistic that your info is the “correct” info?

I'm not trying to pressure anyone into doing anything. I am being fully up front. I trusted pickles because I had to pick someone, and she seemed the least sketch to me. I'm not saying you should just trust me, but I am saying that if you don't have a bad feeling about pickles, you should trust who she lynches. But if you don't feel good about it, don't do it. I'm not guaranteeing anything because I can't.

Edit: I made something that I gave to pickles that could let her know if someone was definitely a wolf, but there's a chance she is still lying. Hence me not being 100%.

You say pickles seemed the least sketchy, yet she looks like one or the more sketch today due to her encryption texts.

I see a lot of tin-foiling going on.

m395 lightvillage leans. definitely over sharing - admitted to editing post then added it back- the possibility of a false role is circling in my head so

I am thinking the same thing here

LYNCH M935

I may be way off base, but from my quick skimming to catch up this is what I have come up with, let me know if there is some thing else that proves someone else should be lynched
 
I stand by what I said about pickles before, but I agree with others that we need to try and keep her around to hear what she was trying to say (and so she can confirm that I'm village hopefully and stop the crazy bandwagoning going on).

Unlynch pickles

Can I point out that everyone is basing their lynch for me on a cryptic post from someone with a post restriction and M935? I really don't think lynching me would reveal as much as y'all seem to think. There were a lot of anti-bandwagon people yesterday but now with very little to go on everyone is comfortable hopping on?

Could someone explain what they would actually learn from lynching me? I just don't see how it sheds any light. Pickles voted for me and M935 interpreted that but I don't understand what is to be gained here.
 
Just pointing out that while I don’t know what to make of this M###/Pickles/Beagle mess at the moment, I HAVE noticed that @grebes4lyfe has gone radio silent despite being VERY vocal the first day and a half. Added to the suspicious content day 1, even more comfortable with a grebes lynch

Just got home from work. See post below:
Hey guys I’m working a 10h shift today and tomorrow with limited ability to keep up here. Will try my best between patients.

###contingency lynch shelter###

Mostly based on gut feels and meta stuff from previous games ive played with her. When she was village in the first game I played with her, she was super quiet and kinda absent. Last game we played together she was a wolf and came at me in a similar way and got me lynched D1. She came at me awful hard yesterday and it reminds me of wolf shelter.

I’m not dead set on this, but in light of a lack of feels about anyone else, this is what I’m going with.

That being said, M935–did you collect any proof of anything last night? I would like to see it. I think we all gave you the benefit of the doubt yesterday but you need to back it up now otherwise I’m gonna vote for you.


I swear I did actually just get home. I'm covered in grebe **** to prove it. (like, actually. not some weird code. actually covered in grebe feces ATM).
For whatever it's worth, she provided an explanation for today and tomorrow at around 8AM today. Unsure if genuine or wolfy avoidance behavior to give a reason for not being an active participant. Hasn't been back since 10AM (at least not to comment). I'm hoping she is able to get a good read and catch up on today's activities to give her thoughts on the M##/Pickle/Beagle situation. Depending on when her shift started, she may be missing lynch entirely though.

I wanted to show my face before lynch closed. I've tried to catch up, but there is a LOT. I'm just super confused TBH. I don't understand anything pickles is saying, probably a post restriction.

M935 has yet to show me any proof, so unlynch shelter, lynch m935

I don't understand the beagle situation. i think i missed something.

i would really like to shower now.

edit was to change faces to feces bc autocorrect

I would be willing to waffle my vote from you to Mr. Numbers, if you think they are possibly targeting you for some other reason than being a wolf or random chance. I would think with the bare scraps we have to go on that it's possible you have something/are someone they don't like, but that's unlikely in my opinion.
Like I said previously I'm unsure what to think of this situation, but I'm tentative to lose the possibly helpful (granted also possibly useless/harmful) pickles or Mr. Numbers at this point.

@Beagle-Brigade have you looked into anyone besides the person that lead your lynch?

Emlady you beat me to the punch, as I said before M935 seems to be sketchy.

When I step back and look at everything it would make sense to lynch M935 today because the story with pickles seems inconsistent. First there was trust, then he thought he could interpret her gibberish (enough to base his lynch on it), then it was "just a hunch" with no supporting arguments despite other people , and there was the whole thing with the ability/fake ability and no mention of it at all today, despite the beans already being spilled.

Lynch M935

I totally get that Mr. numbers could be helpful, but think about it. What info has been contributed by him so far? I know it's early in the game but nothing has been confirmed, we still don't know what we're working with. I mostly see hunches and very possibly a lot of distracting info being thrown around to direct the votes of the group.

Not the only player I have suspicions about obviously but it's interesting how much faith everyone is placing on his opinion :shrug:

Lynch M935

My vote was based on an unanswered question and the pickle vote seemed retaliatory since shes likely restricted. Also, if you're village coming back right at lynch close is a bad move when you're leading. Even if you can only pop in to things your quoted in

Yeah I'm not thrilled. But at the very least I'm hoping to learn something from tonight.

I know, I should have come back sooner but I was asleep and Christmas shopping!

Day 2

giphy.gif


Something wacky was definitely going on, and I don't mean your normal, everyday, space fever variety of wacky. People were being downright odd, and it was hard to make heads or tails of what exactly their intentions were. Some spouted nonsense, some seemed very sure of things they perhaps should not have been so sure of. Or maybe they were right to be sure. I couldn't say. Look to the stars, and you will perhaps find your answer there. Or maybe you will find more questions.

The point is, it is easy to get caught up in a mob mentality when there is so much shouting. Sometimes you just see a line forming and you join it, not really knowing what you're standing in line for, but just excited to be a part of something. So when a bandwagon formed on a certain NASA pilot, well, it seemed only natural to join in the fun!

He had hoped to make it home to his daughter before she was a bag of bones, but ah, how sad he would never see her again. And he hadn't even gotten the chance to manipulate the threads of time before the rest of the spacey noobs turned on him, put him in an escape pod, and jettisoned him towards the sun.

So then why did you lynch Beagle?
Honestly I would have changed my vote...but at that point in the evening it would not have mattered. Plus I'm not any more sure on anyone else at this point.

Sent from my Pixel 2 using SDN mobile
 
Who would you have changed your vote to? Who are your other top wolf candidates right now?
That's the issue. I don't really have top wolf candidates. I've only got those I think are villagers, those who are questionable but not exactly suspicious yet to me, and those who aren't saying enough who I'm curious about.

Sent from my Pixel 2 using SDN mobile
 
@Matthew9Thirtyfive You said that either Beagle or Pickles was a wolf. Is it possible for Pickles to not be a wolf with Beagle flipping village? How fool proof is this information?
With what's going on with pickles (granted idk if wolves get weird abilities too or not) it seems more likely to me that either Mr. Numbers is doing it wrong or he is trying to have us take out 2 people for them. But with luck all the wolves are actually laying low and letting us poke each other's eyes out. Who knows at this moment.

Voting is closed from D2. I placed a CONTINGENCY LYNCH. Contingency lynches are made during the night cycle and will count towards the following day's lynch vote. These are often made for a few reasons:

1. The person thinks they may not be active the following day and wants to place a vote.
2. The person is concerned they may get NK'd and wants to inform the village that this is where their prime suspicions lie. (my reasoning)
3. The person strongly believes that individual is a wolf. Possibly because of deductive reasoning, possibly because they actually have strong information pointing towards the person they are lynching.

So a contingency lynch is an official vote that you make at night for the following day's cycle. Like most aspects of WW, there may be other reasons for placing a contingency lynch (testing for reactions, setting traps, etc), but these are the 3 primary ones that I have seen so far.
 
:prof::prof::prof::prof::prof:

When you want to place a lynch vote for the next day cycle after lynch has already closed, it is called a "contingency lynch." Contingency lynches will be reflected in the tally when the day cycle starts, provided:
- The person making the contingency lynch is still alive at the start of the day cycle
- The person who they cast a lynch vote for is still alive at the start of the day cycle

In order to cast a lynch vote like this "off hours," you generally must include the word "contingency," e.g.:

Contingency lynch WildZoo

Contingency lynches are generally cast in order to register your suspicion of someone during the night cycle in a more formalized manner, but can also be cast when a person knows they may not be able to check in during the following cycle.

:nod::nod::nod::nod::nod:
 
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
General nooblet PSA:

If you have already cast a lynch vote, you must first unlynch before you can lynch someone else and have it counted as valid in a tally. For example:

Lynch Dubz

Unlynch Dubz
Lynch Meats

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Why you always tryna kill me? 😉

Current thoughts:

Not liking this whole ordeal with Dirk (M#) and Pickles. I'm not completely sure what's going on, but I do NOT like the situation. Additionally I am very suspect about what Dirk has revealed about his role. My vote is certainly not set on Dirk, but I've noticed some things that really aren't sitting right with me and I'll be very shocked (and annoyed) if there isn't a wolf between Pickles and Dirk.

I also have some side-eyes on Shelter and Coffee?, Shelter for making some statements that I've found very off and Coffee mostly for feelz which I will have to go back and investigate tomorrow.

Grebes is in my neutral/wolfy leans pile. Feeling a little better about her today, but still keeping an eye on her as I don't know if she's coming across as slightly confused noob or inexperienced wolf.

Dolphin sounds like village Dolphin to me, and I think I've gotten better at reading her (especially after Pokemon). I also think her point about certain people not pursuing Kleef after the D1 lynch train formed is valid and I'd like to look into them more as well.

Feeling exhausted, so need to re-read a bit tomorrow for further thoughts/feels, but would like to continue hearing more from other people. If you're inactive, please make sure you're at least posting some comments/reads, as it only hurts village if you don't.
