Nor'east Ski WWeekend (Basics) - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I would recommend looking back at any game I’ve played in the last few months. How I played prior to clinics, and how I play now are very different, mostly due to time available in the day.

Also, I don’t like the way Mel switched off zig yesterday, and I’d be willing to vote there today.

So it's NAI then?
 
Just got out of an exam so my brain is a little mushy and I can't really read words correctly, but...


Feels like a wolf extra shot. Not really seeing enough good reason for a village assassin to shoot genny.


And this makes me wonder about wolf seer, because I don't really see moose being a priority target otherwise.
I thought that too but I don't see the wolves wanting to seer mpm n1... She had barely said anything
 
####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.
 
You only have two votes and I wasn't asking for a role reveal. What do you think of dolphin so far?
I can read the tea leaves pretty well. I know when my time is coming.,,

The role reveal hurts no one, so I don’t see the harm.

I think Dolphin is a villager, but I that is just an impression, don’t have a lot of evidence one way or the other. Nothing she has said to me is vaguely suspicious.

I could see that, both had pretty solid village leans imo
 
I put my thoughts on thread, that was the reasoning for that question and solidified my vote for me, if you want clarification ask. I feel like you're tunneling on me rn and if you're village I advise you to move on and actually wolf hunt.
Spicy

I'm fast approaching the point where I want to lynch you to crack that egg so I can stop tossing and turning at night over whether you're stalking about with your wolfy teeth or not.
This made me giggle

Did anyone say the bj kill was to make Capri look bad?
Yeah dat was me. I said it could be wolves killed bj because she was suspicious of capri (if capri is wolf village wolf) or they killed bj to make capri look bad (if capri is wolf village). Never really decided one way or the other.

I thought that too but I don't see the wolves wanting to seer mpm n1... She had barely said anything
Fair. I'm going to go look through her posts. Have a mild tinfoil brewing.

Edit: Hello, person rereading the thread. You'll notice I edited this post rather late. Well, you see, I'm an idiot, and realized I had corrected the wrong error when I edited it the first time. I am surprised no one questioned me on it. My only conclusion is that nobody reads my posts. This is probably wise.

Well, if you're both villagers, it can actually be pretty dangerous in a game with conversion. Assuming they don't want to nightkill one of you to cut off the communication.

I had forgotten about conversion. Why put this in my brain 😢

It's ok. Assuming this follows a similar protocol from Pippy's other games, we should have to worry about it for a bit.

Random thoughts I had while compiling votes (sometimes I actually read things, sometimes I just skim)


Skimble - some echoing of my thoughts. I don't like it.
dolph - feels fairly villa based on posts
capri - i dunno, really could go either way here. lackadaisical attitude and the way that tie went has me leaning more villa though.


Also what is a safe-wagon?
directed at @MSUcvmHOPE who I forgot was playing, until i came across the whole jailing discussion again. not sure she ever answered but I could have missed it.

Ah nope forgot. I meant it as it seemed like joining an existing wagon that wasn't the main bandwagon. Seemed like a way to say yes I agree without drawing attention to yourself.

Side note, I have the day off, though I do have to be a productive adult, I will be going through the thread and providing input today.

So wtf how did they get two kills and how did they know that?

How did they know what?

SAR flagging that she changed her mind about zig was weird bc reads change esp d1 reads - that's not wolfy imo

I disagree. Wolves know who all the villagers are. Therefore they have to find and/or manufacture sketch to help push village lynche without having to worry about who actually is village or wolf. So, it is well within wolf possibility to read someone village one day and wolf another day because they can scent blood in the water and want to take advantage of it. Villagers can do this too, yes. However, I tend to find that villagers keep closer track of their reads and will usually justify them when they change. Clearly in this case it was not a wolf move, but I still would have liked to know from mpm what changed her feels as it wasn't really stated on thread.

perfect example of good wolf hunting (even though it didn't pan out):

Awwww shucks

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.

??? How were you wrong about Capri?
 
I'd be happy with a mutts or dubs lynch today I think

I was wondering how they knew mpm was tracker. I mean they may or may not have known but it feels like a weird kill otherwise I guess

Having seen this GIF alone makes me feel like having played was worthwhile. If I am lynched, I am content.
 
How do you feel above the Skim votes?
I will go back to her at lunch but as far as there being a good case there hasnt been one that I've seen, other than just to get her to post more, which is fine.

I'm more interested in the reasons these wagons are starting.
Why are you so inclined to follow Mel on SOV?

So who are you suspecting at this point? Why wouldn't I be inclined?

Not sure if this poor logic is due to ignorance or trying to misguide.
No self respecting wolf has anything to do with starting anything at the beginning of the game, they just try to skirt by. Villagers are gonna lynch themselves, all you do as a wolf is let them do the heavy lifting. If anything, throw out a lynch vote on fellow wolf for CRED, even better start a lynch vote for a good reason on a fellow wolf, and best get them lynched.

Why you would think any wolf is involved in any of these wrong lynches is nonsensical IMO.

Later in game is when vote analysis might be helpful IF wolves are desperate.

Just because my logic doesn't line up with yours doesn't make it poor.

You are misunderstanding my argument. It has nothing to do with votes and where votes are placed. It has to do with where people put others on their reads. It's easy to manufacture sketch and look like a contributing villager through these.

You can dislike my logic, but I've caught a lot of wolves using similar, small tells and vote analysis from Day 1. :shrug:

I feel like this is probably an individualistic posting style thing. I'm actually more inclined to lynch followers than those leading the lynch/lurking just because it looks better.
 
How do you feel about Skim who has a similar number of posts?
50% more posts (which is misleading due to small #s).
There is a little bit of attempt at making villager help
Some fluff.
Some general statements that prove nothing, and a question that wolves probably would know,
A wasted vote and a missed vote,

All in all, not a great resume there, but not as bad as killer. Worth watching but not a compelling choice right now.
 
Next I am going to look at zig and Capri.

2 trends I often find. When people are leading and the choices completely change, sometimes that is because one or more wolves was in the original choices.

The other one which always amazes me is that often when it comes down to 2 people, a villager is lynched and somehow the village gets distracted and doesn’t come back to the person who wasn’t lynched. I don’t know why, but that person is often a wolf.

These are just general observations to give me places to look, no comment YETon current players involved here. Just trying to get all my thoughts out in case,as it appears, I may be today’s victim.

Meh. Not enamored with either those as wolf choices right now, zig talks an awful lot, and that would be pretty good play for a wolf. I assume zig hasn’t played a ton of games from the posting, and if so seems like a poor choice, just says too much stuff that could get them in trouble

Capri leaves less of an impression, but seems like a normal mix.
