Day 2

After a long day of yeeting rocks into the sky, the competitors were tired... but not yet ready to give up their exercise. With the judges just winding down from their day jobs, many chose to kick things into high gear. It was time to truly impress and bring home gold.

For many of them, this meant fanservice rock selection.

Others, though... others decided rock yeeting was so yesterday and took it upon themselves to yeet a fellow competitor. She looked nice and solid: put a few healthy backs into it and I bet she could go pretty far. She already had enough medals to herself, no reason for her to hog more of them.

FWIW @TelemarketingEnigma it wasn't your thread entry that bugged me, it was this post:

I'll admit my first instinct so far was "alley seems to be swinging abnormally hard right out the gate, must be sus"

But I have a hard time figuring out anything on D1, especially without a mayor vote or anything to stir up discussion, so anyone who seems immediately wolf-reading someone with so little to go off of always feels sus to me. But we do need people to start that discussion, and this is one way to do that

Too much hedging. It looks like you were setting yourself up to sheep an alley vote at a time when alley was being discussed, but also shading the people voting for alley off of gut feels/tone/whatever.

Then today It was your reads, most of them were obvious reads that people were already thinking or stated on thread. Your neutral section wasn't super indicative of wolf-hunting, just you gut reacting, and your wolf list was an echo chamber.

ninja'd by the write-up
 
First off. I try not to does not equate I will never. But irrelevant bc- Cubs was trending better and TME worse. It was splitting hairs between the 2. Make a compelling argument and I will listen
Vote earlier tomorrow.
 
@Stagg737 can I have your read (and why) on Zenge, Chaos, and Visc? Feel free to quote yourself if you've already mentioned your thoughts on them and I missed it.
 
I already attempted saying please yesterday. You ignored me. I'm not requesting any more. This is simply an ultimatum.
You say that as if you said please to me. I don’t recall that you did.

I didn’t ignore you.

I haven’t seen someone get so put out to say please

I looked back at my post yesterday regarding the throwaway and I see I said "want" instead of "would like you to". I conflated the non-response to that as dismissal.
 
Reads time - maybe something in these will sway y'all to not yeet me, or maybe you'll find something useful in them after you make that mistake

Strong village (or maybe 3P): Alley, AM. for reasons previously stated regarding the unlikeliness of a wolf in the pippy wagon.

neutral, slight village lean:
Genny - reason to believe she was actually blocked as she claims
visc - seems to be really trying on the wolf hunting. unfortunately that means hunting me, which i don't love. but the hunting is just wishy washy enough that it could be (pretty impressive) pretend hunting.

neutral
Zenge - I see his points on pippy form D1, but I don’t think they were quite the devastating level of attack he’s claiming, and he clearly didn’t even vote that way. does seem to be trying with wolf hunting though which I appreciate.
WZ - don't really feel like i've seen much from her
Stagg - don't love his interest in me, but haven't gotten strong pings.
Bob - just seems like bob. I don’t know that I’ve played a game with him where he made it very far and I definitely don’t know what wolf bob looks like

wolf lean
Cubs - one of the late vote movers. I know also moved late but since I know i'm village, his similarly timed late vote gets my scrutiny instead.
Chaos - went from AWOL to super heavily involved after the pippy yeet, I don’t think I saw any mention of irl stuff that kept them away on D1
Mel - bouncing votes, seemed like trying different counter wagons to see if anything would stick, I hate the retrospective reasoning for avoiding pippy . Has not contributed anything of substance today besides an incredibly weak claim for why he didn't look at Pippy and then voting me and claiming he'll catch up

I simply didnt know the game had started until Sporty pinged me on discord
 
@Stagg737 can I have your read (and why) on Zenge, Chaos, and Visc? Feel free to quote yourself if you've already mentioned your thoughts on them and I missed it.

Will have to get specific quotes later, but for now:

Zenge- neutral. Had given him village points initially but then saw that I may have made error in his possible relations to you, Genny, and Enigma. Bob flipping would make me feel pretty good about Zenge being village.

Vis- slight village lean. Seems to be legitimately wolf hunting, but having some tinfoily paranoia that she’s doing just enough to look that way. Bob flipping wolf would not look good for her.

Chaos- missing D1 screws up my reads here a bit. Need to iso/reread to see where I stand here. Right now is just neutral, but certainly not past sketch side of village.
 
***Sorry I was a bit absent tonight. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday. I plan on being more active tomorrow once I drive the two hours back to my apartment***

I’m disappointed in the outcome of the TME flip. I completely missed her softing a PR, not that it would’ve matter since I got caught up after the yeet deadline. But at least we have the info of who she redirected to. Tomorrow, I want to put more pressure on genny, Bob, Mel, and Stagg. I don’t have a solid read on any of them and they are the ones who stand out as the sketchiest to me.
 
So what made you decide to do a test to see who might jump on a counterwagon? When no one did, how did that make you feel about the pippy yeet before her flip?

How are you feeling about Dubz now?
@Melchizedek I know you’re busy this game but when you have time can you answer why you decided to use your vote to test who would counter the Pippy wagon when you were neutral on Pippy, and what your thoughts were about the response before Pippy’s flip? I know you’re reading Dubz village now but what made her sketchier (at the time of post I was replying to) and then village?
 
Has the game started? I cant see any night update from kaydubs
 
Night 2


1628079207868.png


Outside the stadium, spectators gathered each day just to take in how spectacular it was to have the Olympics in Tokyo. It was a shame that fans weren't allowed in the stands, but streaming it in on the adjacent field was alright too. Among them, the tiniest spectator secretly snuck in and out, bobbing around like he was minding his own business. No one would've known he was actually the biggest Olympic fan and stowed away on freight ships to ensure he made it to every Games.

So of course he was there, peering through windows, when he saw the kerfuffle going on. Everyone was awake and up to nonsense when they should've been sound asleep in their beds. Why.... why was there still a horse out there? Wasn't dressage done?

He shook his head and headed back to his home. Even if everyone else was going to be irresponsible, he was going to sleep.

....and when someone bricked in his burrow, sleep he did. For the rest of eternity.

Wow that makes sense.

Anyway I have reason to believe that this is the ideal vote for today

Vote BobisLaw
 
Because he practically dared me to vote for him when Pip was getting voted out. He was trying to shake up that D1 vote without seeming too obvious about it. I think he’s the kind of wolf that would let Pip go down rather than risk revealing the whole pack.
 
Based on votes yesterday and posts I’ve previously mentioned seem off

vote Bob
 
Vote Bob

Don't want this to totally run away, but I'd like to see this flip the most given Zenge being village. Also want to look at Mel and Genny more carefully, but I like some of Genny's observations so leaning her more village at this point.
 
I was blocked last night, and the flavor makes it pretty obvious what the role name might be. If Spice Girls are wolves, this was village.

More data points: I was blocked last night. Agree that the flavor gives a good direction as to the name of the role, but not sure if it is village or now. The bolded is at least partially false.

I really thought this write up was actually describing Lawpy.

And @Animal Midwife, genny is back in my POE.

So youre saying my point about people voting and participating last minute was wolfy, and I was actually saying that to purposefully implicate myself to save pippy?
 
What's this mean?

Why?

New info and her prior quote that stagg mentioned. I can see her or another wolf being the blocker, using it on herself N1 to "Get the flavor" and set up a narrative about it being village. She's done it before. And if that's a stretch to you, her above comment about me isnt any better. I wasnt "Daring" her to do it, I was saying "put your money where your mouth is," and once the tide didnt turn to me, she figured it was safer left alone for that day.
 
@Melchizedek I know you’re busy this game but when you have time can you answer why you decided to use your vote to test who would counter the Pippy wagon when you were neutral on Pippy, and what your thoughts were about the response before Pippy’s flip? I know you’re reading Dubz village now but what made her sketchier (at the time of post I was replying to) and then village?
the vote being so spread out made me want to test where it would consolidate. I was a little ham-fisted in the way I did it because of getting to the thread so late.
My interpretation: before the flip nothing was really happening besides genny and Dubz calling me out, and I mentioned my analysis there. After the flip my PoE list was from anyone that looked like a frozen wolf (I.e. sitting on a joke vote, voting with a weak reason, or had been discussing someone but not voting there).

WZ’s thread entry was NAI.
First ping was her back and forth with alley. Alley had probed her and she almost immediately shut down the conversation and got retaliatory. Too reactive.
Then Pippy gave her some push-back about alley and WZ immediately folded. Looked like a wolf testing the waters of a vote and backing off.

but then it started to feel like she was forcing her way into the village bloc. Some posts buddying up to Z a few times and there was a reads post that felt too early.

the village points I have for her:
Don’t think the early pippy/WZ interactions are w/w.
When the vote was spread with 1 votes on everyone, she proved a few people (genny, cray) to get some discussion going.

What new info? What about Stagg's post?

Also, you already know she didn't intentionally block herself.

Did you not... just read anything I wrote? Its the combination of her coming out with her blocking claim and description now compared to staggs description. Why could she not be blocked as a wolf? I guess my explanations will never be good enough for you 🙃
