Panem et Circenses - Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I also don't really see what everyone else is with Ziggy. She's an aggressive player that gets defensive really easily and has always done this despite vets telling her it's a bad idea. She seems like pretty normal Ziggy to me...
I mostly agree with this, except for how she's been voting today. Hard to tell if it's wolfy anyone-but-me voting, or village anyone-but-me voting. I'm disturbed by the shade-throwing on mutts but no voting for mutts.
 
Because I never said I was going to move off her the moment she checked in. That's either you making a dumb assumption or throwing shade, neither of which I like coming from a player like you.

Then when will she satisfy you enough to move? Because you and I both know you'll sit on this vote even if she's not in the the game.

Yeah and?
People do this all the time. He's also the only one voting for someone who has contributed nothing and if I'm trying to make a counterwagpn I should do it on someone else who has another vote bc like again, no one is listening to me.

People do this all the time. They vote with people they find sketchy. Okay. Why are you really voting Sporty? If you're forming a counter, you should believe in it.
 
Lol I got yelled at for this last game. Apparently D1 stagg is a silent stagg unless he's bussing his packmates
While I still think my vote is sound, since it hasn't picked up traction, time to apply pressure to another person that is not Ziggy.

#######lynch stagg########
don't remember much in the way of contributions, so would like to hear them talk more.

11/20 Voting
Lynch closes in ~3.5 hrs I think?

No..... ? 😕

I'm voting for mutts because I think she's sketchy. ZJ has said a couple of times that she thinks mutts is sketchy, but she hasn't tossed a vote that way. What's keeping her from voting for a sketchy person? Gotta be sketchy motivations.
It's not? Because I feel like you're also tossing a bit of shade around but voting elsewhere. Like, in this post right here even.

Village anyone but me. You want me to vote for mutts? I really have no issue voting for anyone atm bc like, I think I'm dead in the water at this point and I'm trying to avoid that. Because again it is NOT a good idea for the village to get rid of me rn

Then when will she satisfy you enough to move? Because you and I both know you'll sit on this vote even if she's not in the the game.

I said why. She isn't posting ****. If y'all wanna vote for someone who is actually contributing (too much?) d1, that's your prerogative. Just a poor one. Tbh I don't really believe in any of you right now lol. Pretty poor d1 play to just lynch someone who has wolfed recently but you do you

You wanna vote me for it? Bring it on!

Usually, if village looks like they want to lynch someone that I really like to play with, I'd ask them not to do it. I don't feel so confident in asking people not to lynch ZJ.

I don't like this post

When she comes and plays and seems less sketchy than literally any other player. I may move off her anyway, but you know how I feel about analyzing posts and votes on D1. Do we really need to have this discussion every game?

Lol I got yelled at for this last game. Apparently D1 stagg is a silent stagg unless he's bussing his packmates

Nah, Stagg usually jokes around D1/2 until I get enough data worth actual analysis and is quiet when I'm feeling crappy or tired. Though the bussing packmates part is may be accurate...

Wait does this mean you don't like playing with me? 😢
Or you're not sure I'm not a wolf?

What info would get from a Sporty lynch whether she's flip wolf or village?

If she's actually in danger of being lynched today and still hasn't checked in, would you stay on?
 
I feel like your avatar is judging mine.
Jasmine has that effect on people. Your avatar looks like Ziggy lol
Oh my god I'm gone for two hours and you guys add another two pages?

I miss the days when things were quiet as long as I wasn't around
I feel personally called out lol
 
This is the problem Stagg. And this is why I bring why I bring it up every game.

And like I said, there are people I'd be fine with switching to (who I already stated) but I don't feel confident enough at this point to drop an actual vote. Like every game. So again, why do we bring this up every game?
 
This noob feels like STL or Trilt in disguise and I like him (her?) already
I'm not feeling a trilt but definitely has the STL/DocE flavor.

Brings me back to my noob days when someone else was telling us all how we should be playing the game
 
Long post to follow... may have gone overboard with the quotes and computer was lagging a lot!

@ziggyandjazzy is on my top contender list. Came out quick acting sassy in her posts then defensive.


Not sure, why?



You don't wanna talk about statistics but you did a RNG vote?? Not sure I get that



Why does anyone lynch anyone? Seems pretty straightforward to me



Lol you're going to be asking for a long time to get AM to be less question-y and vague as hell



You think my post seems weird but not mutts'?



Pip, AM, and mutts are sparking my feels



Cuz I put hashtags and lynch in front of your name



Initially lynched AM, was very reluctant in conversing with AM, due to her questioning and game play tactics (limited answers, etc).



You haven't played every game I have. I've played this way before. And lol @aggressive I get that too much irl



I get quickly irritated with AM's play. I don't really like answering her questions because I don't think it is beneficial.



No I don't find her questions helpful because she asks a bunch of other people and never provides answers to other people's questions. I have no problem answering and asking questions, that's all part of the game. It's how she does it.



How is that more beneficial? You going to "force a lynch"?



No she won't. She hasn't answered me. I don't need to tailor my questions to suit her needs. Just like I don't need to answer her.



Dunno why people have so much resistance to this, when most other people's votes don't have much weight behind them, if any at all



You want me to just keep quoting your responses back to you? I really don't understand but this is annoying AF per usual



Then unlynches AM to lynch Stagg, when she is called out.



Ugh I'm on mobile but this is really too easy.



##unlynch am

Lynch stagg##



Then switches vote again from Stagg to Pip, only after realizing Mutts also lynched Stagg via RNG (she didn’t like that). Only reasoning for lynching Pip, thus far, is all her fluff and doesn’t trust her (but why??)



Well now that you say that it makes me feel bad



Also didn't realize mutts was voting for Stagg I don't like that



###unlynch Stagg

Lynch pip###



Became defensive again, when called out for quick responses that others have already asked (didn’t really need to respond defensively IMO)



Huh? Did you not see my post to you earlier? I'm playing on my phone with poor internet. Things don't load quickly.



Guess my time where I don't post will happen earlier this game.



Now that the lynches are stacking up on her, she is backtracking her defensiveness



I know you aren't but you're the mom I need to give me a kick in the butt. Idk what I'm doing. Clearly something wrong. I voted for her because of the fluff and bc I don't trust her.



Clearly everyone's just going to be a sheeple to AM *yawn*



I HIGHLY suggest you look elsewhere.



Only person who’s voting has been all over the place today…

Are you trying to play coy?







@cubsrule4e

what did he mean by profile pic may mean more that what it appears? What more can you tell us?



It may be more important than you think...



NAV

Seems knowledgeable in the game itself, trying to understand how SDNers play by throwing out stats and old game references. Interested to see how it plays out with them.



(I apologize if this is out of order, I am going by the search results to "WW" order)

Ireland: Wolf vote and first post

Anatomy Lab Speed: Wolf vote and first post

Bad Apple: First post by wolf

Back to the basics: hiker: First post by Wolf (who conveniently was also Stayingpositive)

Noob game: Neither

Colorado WW: Both first post and first vote

Scientifically WW: First vote

WW at a Wedding - Auto convert posted first and voted first, not sure if they knew they would auto convert though

Smash bros - First vote by "other"

Back to basics: cycling - Neither (was AM)





First vote: 6/10 (1 being other)

First post: 6/10



I am going to cut off there for now, take from that what you will, and go more into reading how people play the game. But I will take greater than 50% on a day one vote.




@SARdoghandler from what I’ve noticed seems to be a good wolf hunter (could be wrong as I have not played many games nor seen many). Seems to be defending AM’s game play, are you just looking out for her in general or believe she’s could be village?



AM will always answer questions when asked in a correct way. You may not like her answers, but she always does.



It is always helpful to village to share on thread why you are voting for someone, especially when asked specifically to do so. Full stop.



I find you need to ask AM very specific questions because she will always directly answer your exact question. For example, asking "why did you vote for x", she will sometimes reply with "because I felt like it". This is, in fact, a valid answer. So thinking about what I may want from AM, I would ask something more like "What about x's play so far has you voting for them?". Even then, you may still not get an answer that is as forthcoming as you would like, but it's useless to complain that AM 'doesn't answer questions'. She does answer the question, or she will say that she doesn't want to answer, but people just don't like the answers.



Then you'll either have to rephrase your questions, or realize that your method of asking will not yield results. "Not tailoring" your questions feels pretty resistant for a game where we need to work together. There is a certain element of mutual respect and effort that needs to go in if you expect to get it in return.





Computer has been super slow and that took forever to round up the excessive amount of quotes lol.



So I can say where my vote is going tonight





Lynch ziggy




I left off on page 6 of the thread, so I’ll keep reading and update as needed.
 
Would also love to start hearing some analysis from you rather than just questions. Hiding behind questions is a clever tactic to not impart anything on the thread while seeming quite useful.
Let me introduce you to this player called AM...
 
And like I said, there are people I'd be fine with switching to (who I already stated) but I don't feel confident enough at this point to drop an actual vote. Like every game. So again, why do we bring this up every game?

For the reason I just outlined. It's fine to start on Sporty. It's ludicrous to stay on her the entire cycle until she's leading if you're not wolfreading her. It'd be like if everyone else decided to lynch you D1 every time until D2 started.

When did I say I'd stay on until she was leading? If it started to look like a wagon was building I'd switch off. You're making a lot of strawmen here for no reason.

omg I'm just pointing how your vote could serviced better elsewhere than a zero-poster this far into the cycle.

I didn't say I had no feels. I said nothing jumped out to me quite like it did last game. Which I understand you wouldn't know about, but don't put words in my mouth, mmk? 😉
 
Maybe I’m odd, but I like to marinate on my lynch votes. Really let the juices in.

Unless there’s a blatant sketchy move (ex: voting for yourself)
I marinate on them early on, try to provide some substance behind them to provide a basis for people to come behind it. When it is later, for me, it's about shifting pressure to especially those that you know are here and acting sketchy. See if they let emotions make a mistake.
