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.

How do you feel about waffles?

 

[Stagg737]

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

Considering Sporty is not at risk of being lynched right now, why would it be better serviced on someone else who I'm not confident about when I've already openly stated I find them sketchy?

 

[Navilly]

How do you feel about waffles?

Great with real maple syrup, fantastic with bananas cooked in them, not quite sure what you are getting at with this.

 

[Dinashadow]

If ziggys village, I think there’s a wolf on her lynch. While I think she’s sketchy this game, I’m usually wrong about her so idk

This gave me weird feelings and I've found D1 wagons are notorious for being all village. It feels like your setting up for deflection later.

Also I think RNG votes are icky.

Lynch Mutts

Also have you all forgotten how zig plays as village? Cause this is how she plays as village. She's more careful as a wolf.

You do not find Sporty sketchy. We just discussed this. If you were confident on Sporty, you'd want others to follow you on it.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

That’s not why people are lynching are

Is this supposed to be English

Where's the fun in that?

Exactly. People tend to be more quiet as wolves, esp d1 they wanna fly under the radar I feel like. I have done anything but.

Last game I voted for Dina d1 early and AM questioned me and I was initially cagey but answered (being a wolf). This time I just don't give as much of a Duck lol

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

Bonsoir a tous!

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

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.


























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



















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











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??)







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







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











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?







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.








@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?













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.

*yawn* look I found another sheep

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'm thinking about voting for myself pretty soon. Giving up and rolling over sounds pretty good. But at the same time, I KNOW I can be helpful to village and I don't wanna dick them over too hard yet

 

[SARdoghandler]

Lynch Paws

Now that I'm back from couch shopping, I still don't like some of those posts.

@dolphin106258 where are you?

[SARdoghandler]

Have you tried being less antagonistic on thread to be helpful to village rather than just omg I can be helpful in some super secret kinda way?

 

[PippyPony]

Well that's altruistic I guess, but you kinda also just ruined it.

 

[SARdoghandler]

Which posts?

I did not quote them, so cannot pull them back up quickly. But overall tone felt off to me. I know I picked out one and quoted it earlier today as feeling off. It just sounds like Paws trying too hard to emulate village-Paws, if that makes any sense? Additionally, there was a recent post that stood out to me as not necessarily fitting into the flow of the thread. Almost like it belonged in a different thread altogether.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Yep I tried. Didn't work. Damned if I do, damned if I don't at this point what do you want me to do? I mean really?? I don't see anyway I'm getting out of this even though I've left hints. And I'm not feeling particularly gracious atm

You claiming third party there, bud?

Haha seriously

Well it's less fun if you reveal what's behind the curtain!

That'd be the one, yep.

So, when a vote is going your way, if you were a seer/protector/tracker/etc. How would you propose going about saying your important? If you admit to your role, you make yourself a prime target for conversion/killing. If you are vague, you get the critique you are saying. The best manner of course is to show better options and provide reasoning as to why, but difficult to do that on a runaway vote on day 1.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Not at all, I'm a useful villager

Wat

Ooooooo good catch

don't want to screw "them" over

See what you do is you don't get the votes in the first place

Or, as I explained in the sign up thread...just tell people to switch!

 

[Navilly]

Don't get me wrong, you have sketched me out with the Freudian type slips of Them and villagers, but just an honest critique to some things SAR was saying.

switch to mutts

It's why I'm not voting there at the moment. I don't like to lose out on potential future fun.

Hmm. Would have been more fun if you were. I'm not one to lynch someone over sketchy phrasing but that post sure had some sketchy phrasing.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

I probably said them because I'm feeling a bit shiested over atm and don't really feel like I belong. But I'm not third party and I'm not a wolf

This... has absolutely nothing to do with any point I was trying to make. If Ziggy doesn't want to piss people off, then being a little less antagonistic to other players and trying to contribute to the team instead of getting offended and mad would possibly be a good strategy. This was a comment on play as a whole, not on her attempts at defending herself. You'll notice, I'm not voting there at this point. Village gets further when we work together, rationally, and calmly. We are the uninformed minority, sharing information as much as you safely can is advantageous. Pushing buttons and being willfully grating is not.

 

[WildZoo]

switch to mutts

Don't be silly, it doesn't work on me.

Not according to Nav’s intensive research 😵

Could be. Again, on my phone so I can't really type everything out super well.
I wish I was third party it looks fun

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Not according to Nav’s intensive research 😵

How about all the times you have gotten lynched or nearly d1 for being sketchy and you were village? And the times no one saw you as sketchy but you weren't?

 

[SARdoghandler]

I’m liking Nav’s play style so far. Also SAR’s hard defense of AM so early made me cock my head, but then I remembered that they hydra’d together semi-recently.

Also I quoted this post because I'm still not sure how things I say ever get twisted to "hard defense". But it seems to happen every game so I just kind of laugh it off now because I guess it's part of my meta

But to be clear, not hard defending AM. Just offering some insight in how I perceive her play. Though, I am village reading her so far this game.

 

[JustPaws]

Oooo SNAP

It was in response to this but clearly didn't quote correctly and I didn't notice.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Liiiike...this one?

Oh shoot is this a rojo?? I can't go back and look. Or what page is it? Wow I ****ing hate not having internet lol

Dude.

First of all, you can click the little arrows in quoted posts to get back to them.

Second of all, woah.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

K I'm
Thinking I should just give up rn
I wanna enjoy my last day of vacay and not have to try and defend when no one seems like they're goin to switch p

Wow I never knew that about the arrow. I feel like an idiot

And what is the woah about?? Am I missing something?

 

[Navilly]

Ziggy, if you are actually important to the villagers, there is always the reveal defense, which while unfortunate in that it causes outing of an important role, it causes the wolves the trouble of deciding to convert an obvious choice vs. attempt a kill when the person will likely be protected, in addition to allow us an "extra" chance to get a wolf. If you are a wolf, that defense normally only works for one turn, as you will likely be seered the night of that reveal as well. Those that give up as villagers are making an emotional choice rather than a logical one. If you don't have an important role and are village, go and logic for why others are a wolf.

To the remainder of the masses: Has Ziggy had a similar type reaction to this being lynched as a villager before?

Yes to the last question.

Also you should be aware our games don't always have a seer and/or protector

That post of yours felt like the written equivalent of this:

She's never been successfully lynched before.
