Nor'east Ski WWeekend (Basics) - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That's why I was hoping he had a real idea lol I'm a little braindead but I guess I'll try for a speedy skim of a few things and then make some kind of decision

lynch MSU
since I think with rearrangements due to voting patterns, she floats to the top of my list
I have an idea...but I am focused more on who isn’t a wolf than who is. If We keep on removing questionable people, then what’s left is the 3rd original.

so from 10 pages in, biggest suspects Coffee, Mel, ziggy, and MSU

granted, 2 are dead, and I have no ideas what is going on otherwise
 
how are my reads copies? I feel like I expanded on other people's reads with new analysis, but did not just copy other people's reads at all. yes i sometimes use other's reads for guidance on where i should be looking, there are a lot of vets out there with more experience reading the nuances of this game and it would be stupid to play with the outlook of "oh, someone else made this valid point or noticed this weird pattern of behavior, i guess i can't use that ever now" but since i got called out for sheeping in dogs i make a point to add my own analysis too.
I was the first person on capri yesterday, and stayed on her today. someone else said that they'd like to hear more from her and we haven't heard anymore so i'm staying on her.... and we still haven't gotten any more from her so i'm happy to stay here.
people were saying that zig is always pretty emotional/defensive and that they weren't sure if it was wolfy or not coming from her. i said that yes, she is usually pretty defensive, but that i've noticed it ramp up later in the game and that for her to get so riled up D1 was concerning. that is new greby analysis being added there.
i don't recall anybody mentioning they though coffee was sketch because of her explanations.... that was me. if someone did say that before me, i missed it.
yes, mel has called you hedgy in the past. you said specifically that you were trying to be less hedgy so that we couldn't tell affiliation. i didn't follow your logic and thought it was weird and called you sketch. if i had said "snowy is hedgy, that's weird" then yeah, it would have been sheeping, but again, i took info that you offered and that had been discussed earlier and expanded on it.

why am i in your wolfiest pile? anything besides that you feel like i am sheeping (when i'm not)?

####lynch sporty####

I was wrong about Capri and snowy and was starting to get feels for Genny and was wrong there so I’m gonna switch it up completely.

She’s been pretty quiet. I feel like she was more vocal last time she wolfed, but she was definitely more vocal the last few games i remember her playing as village in.

I got called into work last night and the clinic has picked up a lot so I’m not sure I’ll be able to stay on top of the game and might end up asking for a sub depending on how today goes. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Wait ok I have no clue why I thought Capri had been NK’d and flipped village.
Wtf is wrong with me.

Not caught up at all just saw the Capri stuff and got confused and realized I was crazy.

####unlynch sporty#####
####lynch capri####

How do you feel about Coffee today? I can say I've played with her and she was very convincing as a converted wolf in the noob game.

ok...... because i'm not doing this in any particular order, i'm going to put my wolfiest feels in red.

i will say, i don't like the "chat" slip from dina. she was such a good player in the noob game, i feel like she could play that comment off and keep her cool and people would forget about it, but i would like to keep that slip in mind for the future. definitely set off sketch bells where I had not had any before.

mel: i don't know how to read my manator... and i can't tell if this:

is a subtle pocket attempt (i really have been super busy and i appreciate the village leans... last time someone was trying to back me up like this in a game though they were a wolf, not mel specifically, but it's on my mind). on the other hand, he also seems to be wolf hunting and posting a lot of analysis, which i like. currently sitting in neutral.

sporty: did an ISO, quoted stuff and posted some analysis on coffee when pushed for it, but still, not a lot from her and I feel like she is usually more active, especially as village. wolf feels

coffee set off feels for me D1 with her mechanics talk and over-explanations. hasn't seemed as sketchy to me since then. not sure what i think, especially when i consider her interactions w/ sporty. i don't think they are both wolves, and i have more feels for sporty right now, so i'll put coffee in neutral for now.

have we forgotten about the ziggy lynch?? i'd like to revisit this.

mutts: honestly didn't see the sketch until this
it doesn't make sense. not a lot of sketch. just moved her from village leans to neutral i guess

i don't know how to read dubz at all, so i'll just leave it at that.
same with SOV.

i'd like to hear more from killer (i know, that's ironic coming from me this game... but i feel like i don't have a lot to go on there). i ISO'd and she has 10 posts total, at least 3 are completely fluff, and pretty limited analysis happening in most others too. could easily be a wolf laying low.

same with skimble. 12 posts total, not a lot of depth in any of them. i feel actually more wolfy leans on skimble than on killer.

i'm probably forgetting something, but i hope that this post can start to make up for my lack of participation earlier.

FYI it will be the same for the next 2 days. discussing a possible sub situation. i'd love to keep playing since my schedule clears up after saturday, but i'll be gone all day and for lynch close tomorrow and saturday too, so i get that it might be more fair to you all to have a more active player take over 🙂

This sets off alarms for me. The other player that I noticed trying to say that they want to Lynch Mel to learn about Zig was Coffee.
Skim also so far has mainly talked about other games to put sus off her. Need more content but not liking what I feel, and going to look back on how other's have felt on Skim recently.

I'm going to trust other's for the time being and Lynch Coffee in hopes that a second attempt is the correct move at this moment.

Will keep digging.

I noticed that while looking into SOV earlier today, but I wasn't as triggered by his posts considering it seemed he was trying to get some answers. So I wasn't sure how that made me feel.

I just looked at some posts, idk if this will help anyone. putting them here
 
Summaries based on lynch trackers, recognizing they aren't totally in thread context

D1 - MSU starts on AM, unlynches partway through the day when some wagons are starting to form. Goes off on a genny wagon towards the end of the day, when the lynch has become barks/cubs. Notably, the known wolves are also on single lynches at this time.

D2 - MSU votes very late in the day for mutts as a 2nd vote, avoiding all leading lynches

**D3 - MSU starts out on MJ. Later switches to mutts. Later later switches from mutts to cheezit, which breaks the capri/coffee/cheezit/mutts tie, putting cheezit in the lead. I think this was relatively late in the day?

D4 - late vote for coffee

D5 - late vote for coffee

D6 - starts out on SAR, later joins cheezit wagon


**D3 is the sticking point for me. Will read for context.
 
c'mon @Skimble don't ruin your perfect record

I know I haven't given much to go on this game

it always happens when I'm behind on thread to drop off the planet... the live PbPa I usually do shows you when I'm keeping up and where, and where I'm catching up from, with my reading to catch up it's mostly been scattered likes which also shows where I am in all of this

wolf or not, I don't lurk, and where I am in the thread is always pretty transparent, as well as how active on SDN and on the game, and exactly why

I have zero to gain by being less active for wolfy reasons.

I don't think my Mel vote was placed in a wolfy bandwagon spot but I haven't looked that closely

I don't like this. It DOES seem like you were lurking. And why would you do a "self prez" vote that would just take another person down with you unless you were a wolf?

What the **** everyone
 
Fwiw...1st tie is rng ...doesn’t take both down...but 2nd tie does. And there is a lurking feel I agree
1st tie is RNG two people. If you created the tie and you are in the tie, you die no matter what

Why are these sketchy?
AM lynch was joke vote, Genny I did feel weird about and I will pick my feels over group wagoning.
Mutt vote was a reluctant one, did not like any of the 2 major options if I remember.
I failed to bring out MJ or cause any useful discussion, Finally switched to Mel to prevent the super tie to end all super ties also cause he was the one I was most comfortable switching to.
I like to use the day to look over things or live my life, my votes will almost always be late even if I'm decently certain on someone, I like to let the day play out.
I explained why I originally voted for SAR, I never intended to leave a vote there.

Help me understand cause I don't see it, and I'll feel bad if every game I waste a lynch in late game over my play style.
 
Still if you are vipillage, gotta give yourself a chance. And maybe the other person is a wolf. The more people lynched usually the better,
Dude idk how you are a village lean but everything out of your mouth is so ****ing sketchy

I can’t read you if there is nothing to read.

Also, there was one game where I read you wrong. You were a wolf, but you were ghosting. I was sure you would never ghost as a wolf, and even said I’d eat my hat if I was wrong... thankfully I don’t normally wear hats...
 
Dude idk how you are a village lean but everything out of your mouth is so ****ing sketchy
Wtf? That is WW 101. Never miss a lynch, the more lynches the more chances to get a wolf. Grow up.
And who wouldn’t tie if they are in the lead wolf or villager, that is WW 100.

Don’t get your vehemence for basic facts,

I don’t like her lurking, but self preservation is normal,

Weirder is not joining the MSU lynch
 
Alright well I sure as hell ain't self prezzing into a tie with people I don't think are wolfy. Sooooo it's been fun ya'll hope you have a good idea on who you want to lynch tomorrow.

And seriously someone explain why I'm the top woof choice.

No impact votes on days when the main wagons are village is a classic wolfy move.
Your votes aren't always late, but yes, you were on the wolf wagons late, which does not do you any favors.

I wish I had time to look at context for all of this, but only had time to skim the D3 tie break. I'm not really sure what to make of it, could go either way in my mind.

What isn't there is anything to push you village. Sometimes that's all you get.
