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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm pretty torn on M# because on one hand I feel like he's been so outspoken and sketchy all game it actually makes him seem like a villager because I feel like he would be a little more careful as a wolf but he's also still alive even after saying he had an ability the first day but that could also just be the wolves trying to make him look sketchy so that we'll lynch him

I think it's that (edit: by that, I mean they're trying to get the rest of you to lynch me, hence people who are known to be wolves focusing on me) and someone using some sort of protection on me (and I used a protection item on myself N2). Keep in mind, I voted to lynch grebes and pickles, both of whom turned out to be wolves (pickles didn't die, but I didn't know that would happen).

How likely is it that there were 3 wolves on the killer lynch the first day?
I think pretty darn likely. I just looked back and mutts, pickles, and grebes all switched their votes to killer with less than 10 minutes to go. Mutts appeared to give no rationale for doing so... I believe this was to try and save grebes from getting lynched d1
 
I mean like strategy wise would it make more sense for them to vote all together like that or spread their votes out?

On day one, it wouldn't be suspicious at all since we don't know who is whom. So strategy wise, it makes sense for them to gang up on someone to get rid of a villager. After day one, that becomes riskier.

I agree. I think we all pegged grebes from the get go, and they needed to save him.
 
But could they have been sacrificing another wolf to make themselves look good while also saving grebes, who apparently had an ability? I think that's less likely than them all jumping on one villager to save grebes.
Seems too advanced for newbies D1 honestly.

Why do you think she is alpha and not 1x lynch avoidance?



Why did you choose to heal Ziggy?



Have any of your reads changed?



What do you think about the bolded?



Why do you think emmy is likely village?
I think it is interesting that you are predominately questioning those accepted to be in the village camp with the exception of mutts

I chose to heal ziggy because I thought that's what my healer ability was catered towards and I think ziggy is village, plus I wanted to know if she had info on Emmy
 
I dont trust anyone right now. I know there is a chaos element. Based on play and behaviors i think its m###

lynch m###

How sure are you that there is a chaos role?
(Grebes liked this post)

Grebes isnt the only wolf. Wanting to lynch people with "plausible alternatives" sounds like you want to lynch fellow wolf hunters. That logic doesnt seem to sound

Trying to throw shade on Dandy for her pretty much saying she was looking at the people she saw as the next most sketchy

Barkley, I let you live this long. Can you at least put some respect on my kills and match frosty's blue font color?
 
Not bandwagoning, choose him for content posted, random name stories etc. Iso his posts
So no evidence against emlady, then no evidence still for killer... ok. Then after this grebes and pickles jumped on
Please read the above for killer reasoning. Y'all really arent paying attention here or you're actually manipulating my posts by leaving out relevant information intentionally.

That is some very weak evidence with no substantiation...
 
I agree that she is likely alpha, as it would have been a bad move to out herself if she only had a 1x lynch avoidance. However, this is the noob game and there have been plenty of major mistakes so far, so I'm not counting it out. Either way, we need to decide as a village if we are going to take the general veteran advice of "If it doesn't die, kill it twice" or agree that she is likely an alpha and hunt for other wolves first.

Why do you think she is alpha and not 1x lynch avoidance?

That saying ("kill it twice if it doesn't die") is on my mind.

I'm inclined to believe pickles is an alpha wolf (especially based on her emboldened and cocky behavior since the close of D3 yesterday). If that is true, we will have to find (and lynch) every single other wolf in this game first before pickles is going to be 100% dead.

If there are lot of wolves remaining in this game, we have a lot of work to do to find all of them. I don’t want to waste valuable lynch vote if we must find every single wolf in this game first before we can kill an alpha wolf (assuming pickles is an "alpha" wolf).

On the other hand, if everyone wants to lynch pickles a second time around to find out if she is a wolf (for once-and-for-all ... and to determine if she is an alpha wolf or a non-alpha wolf), I'll be inclined to think more about this issue. Hoping we’ll hear from players who haven’t posted today (or their posts seem vague and fluffy @Dinashadow) because it would help to hear from others (@killerleaf , @dolphin106258 , @emlady09 given that sheltermed has hard-vouched for you ).

It's getting a little too close to lynch close for comfort, so I'm just going to say that I can hard-vouch for emlady. I do not know her affiliation for certain, but I know that she is beneficial to the village and not to the wolves.

I had to look for the meaning of a "hard vouch.” Apparently, a “hard vouch” is akin to confirming knowledge about another person. Shelter seems confident that emlady is beneficial to the village and not to the wolves. However, shelter also said that she doesn't know emlady's affiliation for certain. So, emlady could be a wolf, or chaos player, neutral, or a villager, or whatever other roles there might be in this game. I do not want anyone to reveal information if they don’t want to ... but if anyone can say more, please do.

I think you and Ziggy are village and then I'm neutral but slightly leaning village on DocS but I was just curious

Yeah that was what I thought it meant so I was confused how she could hard vouch for someone but also say that she didn't know their affiliation

I would like to hear more from @Barkley13, @Dinashadow (when possible), @killerleaf, and @dolphin106258 . If you're a villager, now would be a pretty good time to help us out

Something I have noticed: pickles, grebes, mutts, and dinashadow all voted to Lynch killer the first day
shelter voted to lynch grebes so that is making me feel safer about you
Other people I mentioned didn't vote for grebes or killer
I wish I had more time to do something like this to be sure that the game has been so fun.
 
coffee why do you feel that mutts is village?
 
I can say I apologise for seeming suspicious by not being specific about players. Honestly been playing catch up and trying to figure out whether as village it is ok to be more open or if you should play close to the chest. This is my very first game and irl never heard of all these possible abilities before (kind of intimidating).

Sent from my Pixel 2 using SDN mobile

It's okay, my first game was the same way and I played a pretty big role in losing the game for village using rock solid logic that was based on a foundation of lies and misconceptions (aka me not understanding roles and game mechanics). The best thing to do is to give your opinions/thoughts and if you have questions then ask them openly on thread. Obviously you need to make sure you're not giving "secret" info away, like your role or PRs (power roles) that you're aware of, but hiding too much info usually does not help village. Plus it's a noob game, so now is the time to make mistakes and learn from them. Cuz when you get in the ring with a bunch of manators and experienced players, you're not going to get cut as much slack.

AHHHH!!! Sorry! Completely forgot about them! I'll take my punishment as soon as this games over! Send @Crayola227

You know their ability already, you know they are a wolf, so there isn't much more to gain/lose.

How do we know this? Did I miss something 😵

I would guess the wolves control who is silenced and she knew this so she pretended to have it before they gave it to anyone else.

Why do you believe this?

Are you trying to pocket me? 😱

Of course not! Is it working?

I agree with this. What's the harm in trying to lynch her again? If it doesn't work, we know we have to find the rest. If it does, we have her out.

Here's the potential outcomes:

1. Pickles is Alpha and we try and lynch her. She doesn't die. We "wasted" a day lynching a wolf who won't die.
2. Pickles is not Alpha and had a 1x avoidance and we try and lynch her. She is now dead and we caught a wolf.
3. Pickles is Alpha and we try to lynch someone else. We potentially lynch a bunch of villagers or a wolf and do not learn her role.
4. Pickles is not Alpha and we try to lynch someone else. We fail to lynch a wolf and potentially lynch a bunch of villagers and allow her to freely vote and possibly continue to wreak havoc.

A few things to keep in mind. We do NOT know if this is her only ability. Sometimes non-villagers (usually chaos, but sometimes wolves) have more than 1 ability. So if she really only has a 1x avoidance but has another ability, we're allowing wolves to continue to have more night actions. Additionally, we do not know how many other wolves other than her are alive. Are there 3 total? 4? 5? How do we know when she is the last one left? The answer is we don't, and if we think there are more wolves left when she's actually the final one, then we're just lynching villagers.

At this point I'm leaning towards her being alpha, but there are definitely negatives to both leaving her alive (wolves keep an extra vote, she may have another ability, etc) and trying to lynch her (may survive again). So there's food for thougth on that.

I mean like strategy wise would it make more sense for them to vote all together like that or spread their votes out?

But could they have been sacrificing another wolf to make themselves look good while also saving grebes, who apparently had an ability? I think that's less likely than them all jumping on one villager to save grebes.

And here we have a good example of WIFOM.

Generally speaking it would be pretty dumb for all of the wolves to vote together. While this is a noob game, Mutts and Grebes have played before in their first game with Dandelion and more veteran players were actually pretty impressed by their intuition as noobs. I'm not ruling out that they all voted together D1, but I don't think it's likely.

I had to look for the meaning of a "hard vouch.” Apparently, a “hard vouch” is akin to confirming knowledge about another person. Shelter seems confident that emlady is beneficial to the village and not to the wolves. However, shelter also said that she doesn't know emlady's affiliation for certain. So, emlady could be a wolf, or chaos player, neutral, or a villager, or whatever other roles there might be in this game. I do not want anyone to reveal information if they don’t want to ... but if anyone can say more, please do.

I actually missed the part about her not know em's affiliation.

In that case this is NOT a hard vouch and is an inappropriate use of the term. This would be a soft vouch, which is when you have enough information that you have put them strongly into your village category but do not have mod confirmation (required for a hard vouch).

This brings me to a question: @sheltermed , what information do you have that makes you believe em is village? I'm not asking for specifics or to role reveal, but I'm now concerned that you were willing to vouch for her that heavily without 100% knowing she is village.

Edit: sorry this post is so ridiculously long, didn't realize it until I hit submit 😕

In regards to ability of pickle, what I mean is that her ability has something to do with not getting lynched. It isn't seering, extra kills, etc.


Wait, are you suddenly not infected? This seems like way too coherent of a statement given your supposed restriction...

Seriously? Like given the context you think that it makes sense? :laugh:

Okay that makes sense. I'm willing to trust you and coffee so I'm going to

Unlynch mutts

Lynch MSU

Gotcha, although I don't know how we can be sure there isn't a second ability connected to Alpha.

And it makes way more sense than any of the statements Ziggy was able to make. It sounds mostly coherent, just a little off. Not completely bonkers like what happened to Ziggy or Pickles (if we think there was a non-wolfy cause to Pickles restriction and it wasn't just self-inflicted by wolves).
 
My reason for feeling mutts is village is due to the fact that she has tended to have the same thoughts as me.

How do you feel about their interaction this game?

Very curious re. pickles/grebes/m### interactions

I see a lot of tin-foiling going on.

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

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

killer neutral/not sure. ski the faux noob sacrificed herself to protect killer? I voted here based on lack of relevant content yesterday's posts, I dont trust that she didn't die though

@dolphin106258 see above re: yesterdays killer vote question.

shelter
wolf leans - was on grebes' case for fishing info from m###, now seems to be focused on questioning m### - sketchy

grebes neutral/not sure

pickle
neutral/not sure - likely has post modification

stagg, coffee, doc-S village leans, long helpful posts

stella, ziggy, MSU, emlady, dolphin Neutral/notsure

Definitely had agreed with these reads except for that shelter I had as neutral and I think the m### read fits that she was confused about him the following day too

What does the red mean?

Although does show curiosity at the idea that m### could benefit the wolves

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

Do note a very soft defense towards pickles but at that time I don't think any of us had pickles necessarily as wolfy and I agree that lynching someone restricted is rough.

I have so many feels fight now, first does any one get the reference in the transmission?

@CoffeeQuestionMark what can chaos do? absolutely anything based on the mod?

m395 chaos leans. started the game shouting and has been relatively silent in the last hours, is he letting us stew and does he want us to lynch him now?

@sheltermed @Stagg737 interested in on your coffee reads

@Dandelion18 100% certain?

not sure -
killer - still I dont trust that she didn't die though
grebes - feels like defensive villager
shelter - seems to be tunneling on m395
pickle - need more quality posts

village leans
stagg, coffee, doc-S, MSU, emlady, dolphin

1. Does defend grebes here despite that Dandy had already said she was 100% certain. Why?
B. Points out shelter tunnelling on m### when she was also doing the same. Why?
iii. I think it's interesting to call on pickle for having not enough quality posts but then throw MSU who has been quiet in with the village
ALSO I am noticing there has NOT been a mention of Barkley. Why?

How are you reading the pickle/m395 and shelter/m395 situations?



This. Did the write up say infected?
All of the transmission write ups are confusing me.
See she is agreeing with me again which I like.
Grebes isnt the only wolf. Wanting to lynch people with "plausible alternatives" sounds like you want to lynch fellow wolf hunters. That logic doesnt seem to sound

I'm neutral on that statement

Implied may have been a better word and it was Thursday, my mistake.
.


However: You lead an emmy lynch (likely village), then transitioned to lead the pickle lynch based on suspicion you bread from similar experience you had. That seems like bussing to me, esp since she survived the lynch. I’m feeling framed right now. I’m not sure you’re a wolf but your play has been inconsistent and sketchy

edited to fix formatting
I had something to say about this quote and don't remember
 
I wonder if the microbe is getting weaker each day...
Like D1 when pickles was infected (if any of that was real) it was strongest then Ziggy made a little more sense yesterday and then today dolph makes even more sense
 
So after my analysis I'd put mutts into "not sure" pile

Along with mutts is MSU, Barkley, Killer, and dolphin. Em & Shelter are kind of in that pile as a combined pair. Currently their status as "village" to me is dependent on if one or the other flips village.

My analysis of shelter's claim of Em, I do not know how she would know Em's role, but there are certain abilities which would heavily point towards village affiliation... for example vigilante in this game as it has already been used to kill a wolf.

ANYWAYS, I feel the remaining wolves may be found within that pile
 
I've just finished catching up with the thread since this morning. If we are going by the logic that more than 2 wolves were on the killerleaf vote on d1, what about @Dinashadow? She has been pretty under the radar so far. I am not sure how I feel about mutts at this point.
