I'm curious to see where this might go.

yeet sksisk

I'd like to hear more from them, especially since they missed the mayoral election. Could be that they are just busy, but I don't feel great about them right now.

As an ex marching band gal - marching band is brutal. Buttttttt missing D1, posting once, then dipping again is odd…. 🧐

Missing @katiemcat @sksisk
Deadline: 9pm EDT TODAY

i think there’s a wolf hiding among the beans and rae wagons, but i’m leaning towards the beans voters because that wagon stagnated. rae put up a harder fight for mayor later in the day, but the beans wagon didn’t budge, so i think the beans voters might be active but lurking/laying low

 

[Therapist4Chnge]

I heard from my manator that 3p can win with either party, so I suppose someone who likes to jump on the bandwagon last minute for yeeting people could be a possible 3p.

Have other manatees heard this bc this is new to me. Def need to look out for bandwagoning.

 

[vampyrica]

okay i’m all caught up, and bonus, axel had a normal BM this morning !!! i am locked into WW hunting mode 😎

not that anyone HAS to do this: but i would say use my responses from now on as your basis for reading me because i’m actually be helpful and provide substance

 

[vampyrica]

WITH THAT BEING SAID!!!

i’m uncomfy with a fruit vote. i won’t be voting fruit this early on because i’ve played with them multiple times, and each time i sussed them out, i was correct. i don’t think this is the case here. fruit is notoriously cryptic and sits on the backburner until things get rolling, in which case you can immediately sniff out if they’re wolf or vanilla flailing around trying to save their butt from a misyeet.

not saying we have to use meta to analyze people, as this IS a newbie game, but it is somewhat important to note previous play-styles for those who do have a game or two under their belt. it will only give us an advantage moving forward to accurately identify and find our town.

3p can win under certain conditions with each party. in Mission ImpoWWsible, genny was 3p and her condition for winning as maf was to kill off tom cruise by day 4, and condition for winning as town was something else.

Agree. Like I said earlier - I get the vibe fruit is being authentic.

fruit, ily, and i’m really trying to defend your behind here, but this take is very basic.

it is kinda obvious that there’s a wolf or two hiding amongst the mayoral votes. numbers wise- it’s pretty obvious

 

[vampyrica]

it would be hypocritical for me to accuse someone based on lack of activity, but i would like to hear more from @CeeGee14, @nicoledoesvetstuff , @sksisk , @Therapist4Chnge and @GoSpursGo

now is the best opportunity for us to take notice of voting patterns, activity, and any potential bandwagons forming for the first vote of the day. it’s not the end of the world (or well game) if we vote incorrectly, but WOULD be incredibly beneficial for us to start on the right foot with a true yeet.

(school starts today and final orientations are this week, including my own, so obviously don’t prioritize playing WW over school. just come check in once in a while, it will only benefit us in the end!!)

Woah this exists??? I only have zero sugar dr. pepper, they don't usually have the variants at Sam's

 

[vampyrica]

edit: spelling

valid! i think looking at those who jumped on towards the end would be a good start imo, or those who flip-flopped to make to seem like they were uncertain. not to exclude myself off the jump as i was the initial vote for beans and recognize the position that puts me in, my reasons for the beans mayoral vote are pure:

• true noob
• had excellent intuition and gameplay last 2 games and carried town to victory
• has enough experience that they can carry out mayoral duties (assuming they have duties like mkg and i had in our mayoral game) while also not being so so experienced that it causes an imbalance on experience

 

[vampyrica]

Woah this exists??? I only have zero sugar dr. pepper, they don't usually have the variants at Sam's

oh yeah, PEAK dr pepper flavor!!!

 

[GoSpursGo]

Alright, I feel bad about this, but I'll jump in.

yeet CeeGee14

I base this vote simply on the fact that they've been inconsistent. Initially quiet, then when they saw their name pop up they did a 180. It doesn't seem fair since in theory we want to encourage people to be active, but the sense I got is that CeeGee is scum who was trying to fly under the radar but was on the DL paying close attention. The other quiet players like T4C, sksisk, etc, could also just be scum flying under the radar, but they could also just be busy, and either way at least it's consistent. We'll have plenty of time to tease out their intentions, but CeeGee seems like someone who got caught and tried overcompensating.

Sorry because mathematically, I'm probably wrong. But somebody has to be the first one out. Happy to convinced to change my vote but that's where I stand for now.

 

[katiemcat]

Thanks everyone 🥰🥰🥰🥰

 

[fruitsalad]

T4C reacted to a few posts during their catchup but didn’t post a response, which is why I tagged them asking for their thoughts during the night

In my defense, I started messaging before my name was thrown onto the suspect list. And the more I messaged, the more sketchy I appeared to be, which is fair. I would love to put up a stronger defense, but since most of the initial posts have been idle chatter or pet pics, I still can’t feel vibes from anyone.

EDIT: And I feel like randomly throwing shade on someone else without any evidence would make me MORE suspicious

 

[fruitsalad]

i think i feel good about indy, katie, and maybe apoptosis

 

[apoptosis09]

I feel like randomly throwing shade on someone else without any evidence would make me MORE suspicious

Good is a good point and partly why I'm really hesitant to cast a vote yet.

Sorry because mathematically, I'm probably wrong. But somebody has to be the first one out. Happy to convinced to change my vote but that's where I stand for nnow.

Also a good point that someone has to go regardless. I'm thinking it may be better to yeet a less active player, since we're statistically unlikely to get a wolf first go and I'm kinda just making a blind throw either way, I'd rather accidentally misyeet an inactive villager than an active and helpful villager.

 

[CeeGee14]

Now, I’m off to class. I’ll check back in during my break

 

[apoptosis09]

You know what, heck it.

Yeet T4C

let's see what happens

 

[fruitsalad]

I'm leaning hesitantly towards Beans, mostly bc there was a hard and fast push to get them into the mayor spot early on which held the whole day. They are a popular player though.

but doesnt that warrant sus toward the beans voters as opposed to beans?

 

[vampyrica]

Now, I’m off to class. I’ll check back in during my break

HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY!!!

 

[vampyrica]

^ this

 

[beans2020]

since most of the initial posts have been idle chatter or pet pics, I still can’t feel vibes from anyone.

This is exactly why day 1 is sooooo hard - there just isn't much of anything to work off of.
I have to say I am very impressed with everyone's sleuthing so far, especially all of the new players!! I can tell lots of thought is being put into it. That's the kind of energy we need to get a village win!

 

[apoptosis09]

but doesnt that warrant sus toward the beans voters as opposed to beans?

That's a bit more my thinking now that it's been explained a bit better. Still not 100% convinced either way.

 

[Therapist4Chnge]

The other quiet players like T4C, sksisk, etc, could also just be scum flying under the radar, but they could also just be busy, and either way at least it's consistent.

I was out hiking, so reception wasn’t good until the drive back. I feel like me mentioning tor ppl to pay more attention about the bandwagon ppl started the votes against me. Highly sus.

I agree, fruit!

yeet sksisk

Not buying the alibi followed by more inactivity

 

[fruitsalad]

I'm trying to look back at previous messages and analyze them but there's so much lol

Yeah I get whiplash every time I reload the page lol

Mayor beans! Guide us!

what are your thoughts so far?

let's see what happens

I posted this AM about watching out for bandwagon voting and in <30min there were multiple unfounded attempts to…wait for it….bandwagon vote for me. That’s sus. Too coordinated.

 

[indysadventures]

Okie dokie! Here's my thoughts so far. Order DOES matter.

Townie:
apoptosis09: feels like a lost town noob to me.
GoSpursGo: an administrator in our midst??? Must be a wolf!! Nah jk, questioning mod process feels v noob paranoia to me (as if I am not also a noob).
PrincessButterCup: seems very engaged, very comfortable, no wolf tingles just vibes
indysadventures: Also campaigned hard for mayor. Our banter feels very town/town to me. However I did misread them last time so who knows.
katiemcat: seems involved and pretty neutral overall. Leaning town more than anything else.
beans2020: seems town for the moment. Not a ton of hard campaigning and seemed like a shoe in for mayor. Indy and I did end up splitting the votes, but Beans was a quick yes for many. Perhaps there were wolves in the vote? Perhaps Beans is really that good and well liked? I'm leaning toward the latter but open to the former. Asking about night actions though? A bit wolfy I gotta say.

Sorta Tingly:
CeeGee14: seems like an overwhelmed noob. I know how disheartening it is to be dogpiled on. I'm not convinced CeeGee is the vote today unless someone can make a compelling case
Therapist4Chnge: mostly neutral
spiane: a few posts, mostly reactionary, not a ton of self introduction or searching for things.
nicoledoesvetstuff: primarily neutral interactions.
vampyrica: difficult for me to read.
sksisk: very little to go off of. Need more. Right now anyone not participating (unless for known things like growing a human or cleaning up dog poop) feels a bit suspicious. Day two feels like prime time to jump in.
fruitsalad: could go either way for me. The flippity floppily hippity hoppity mayor votes could just be chaotic fruit, or they could be reminiscent of the panicked fruit wolfing from last game. Only time will tell.

I have no strong wolf reads at the moment. If pressed, I'm not sure I could pick someone to vote for right now.

grits teeth

I can't believe I'm saying this, but solid reads here.

is this an attempt to 3p hunt?

I posted this AM about watching out for bandwagon voting and in <30min there were multiple unfounded attempts to…wait for it….bandwagon vote for me. That’s sus. Too coordinated.

Just to be clear, in my post I was explaining why I WASN'T voting for you.

But you were conspicuously inactive over the weekend (possibly for good reason) and, as I said, somebody has to be the first yeet. I think you're seeing a lot of the quiet players like yourself, CeeGee, and sksisk all getting questioned and having some votes thrown your way, and it's fair game, IMO. We don't have a lot to go on at this point and there isn't a ton of evidence to catch someone in an obvious lie.

 

[vampyrica]

I posted this AM about watching out for bandwagon voting and in <30min there were multiple unfounded attempts to…wait for it….bandwagon vote for me. That’s sus. Too coordinated.

i didn’t vote for you, do not include me in this simply because i asked to see more :\

 

[vampyrica]

honestly if anything THAT response you gave, rubs me the wrong way because i feel as thought all you saw was the mention of your name and it was taken with a threat/hostility. which now makes me raise an eyebrow

 

[GoSpursGo]

Alright I'm off to lunch with my soon-retiring division chief, who probably does not want to see me playing WW on my phone during our conversation

I'll try to catch up when I get back.

 

[indysadventures]

I already gave some analysis (really all that I have). I have to say my main suspicion rn is @CeeGee14 as I questioned their excuse for staying silent earlier. This only first game as well as many others. I don’t think staying quiet to avoid suspicion is a good strategy for a villager, but it would be for a wolf to give us less to go off of.

I'll agree re: CeeGee that it's their pattern of activity that is slightly suspicious to me, as well as their justification for wanting to avoid being N1'd. So some degree, I can buy it as a n00b laying low (I know the feeling, kinda, but I didn't lay low and it did hurt me), but it just feels a little chaotic and I just am the most suspicious of CG at this time with the little information we have.

As an ex marching band gal - marching band is brutal. Buttttttt missing D1, posting once, then dipping again is odd…. 🧐

I'm less suspicious of those who have been basically inactive. That screams "n00b didn't get to be a wolf and they don't want to be a villager so not really invested" territory. I could absolutely be wrong here, but it feels like there's a line between strategic inactivity and basically ignoring gameplay. The former being potentially wolf strategy, the latter being disinterest. All this to say, I'm still leaning towards CeeGee.

I base this vote simply on the fact that they've been inconsistent. Initially quiet, then when they saw their name pop up they did a 180. It doesn't seem fair since in theory we want to encourage people to be active, but the sense I got is that CeeGee is scum who was trying to fly under the radar but was on the DL paying close attention. The other quiet players like T4C, sksisk, etc, could also just be scum flying under the radar, but they could also just be busy, and either way at least it's consistent. We'll have plenty of time to tease out their intentions, but CeeGee seems like someone who got caught and tried overcompensating.

Yes, a good summary of what I'm seeing in CeeGee, too.

I posted this AM about watching out for bandwagon voting and in <30min there were multiple unfounded attempts to…wait for it….bandwagon vote for me. That’s sus. Too coordinated.

Ehh, I'm a major n00b but isn't bandwagoning a bit closer to bell? And highly likely when people aren't really sure who to vote for AND they're new? I know that I threw out a ton of votes like the ones you highlighted in my first game, because I was desperate to contribute but not really sure what to do.

All this to say - I can be convinced otherwise, but I've got to go with the only thing that my gut has told me thus far, and we'll see how the day plays out:

yeet CeeGee

 

[vampyrica]

heads up to everyone!! in the spirit of the oh-so-wise JJ, i will be asking for a GTH (gun to head) at some point during this day cycle :3 so be prepared

 

[fruitsalad]

I voted for beans early on because someone mentioned they did well in the last game. I probably would have fallen for rae or indy’s briberies (cat photos) had I been active during the time they were campaigning, but I think beans will do great! Yay for funnel cakes!

I use she/her pronouns!

Won’t the mods kill players who are inactive? If so, I think we should save our yeet for people we may suspect to be wolves instead of inactive people

Ok, good point. I didn’t know there were other consequences possible other than taking them out of the game

Hmm...I don't really have any strong suspicions this early on, and I'd also feel really bad if I mis-yeeted someone. I may be a little absent tomorrow since I will be traveling and moving into my vet school apartment, but if I have time I'll try to read back on posts and see if there's anything I can analyze!

i’m feeling some good vibes from nicole, feels pretty genuine from these posts, but i’d still like to see more from her

 

[indysadventures]

also this is in response to ceegee’s comments on bandwagoning last minute = possible 3p

is this an attempt to 3p hunt?

Okay, upon rereading T4C's post and justifications, I'm a bit confused and this does feel like a distraction by T4C to make it feel like like they're being targeted for questioning bandwagoning, which just feels off.

Also, wouldn't we not want to try to identify 3p players at least at first, over wolves? Because it seems like 3p players could work for us or against us, and at least a potential ally is better than a definite enemy.

wolves prefer hunting 3ps to throw off suspicions toward them

some 3ps can be hostile yeah, but i’d like to get a few wolves out first, follow the writeups suggesting hostile 3ps, and go from there

so far, genny was the only 3p who proved helpful so i’d let them slide if they exist (for all we know, genny may be the only 3p in this game)

if they’re potential allies, i think i’d rather have them keep quiet and let them help us out without revealing themselves

 

[CeeGee14]

HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY!!!

Thanks! Classes tech in all started last week, but it was more orientation/summer camp vibes. Now things are getting serious and I’m sitting here like, “I’m not qualified for this stuff.” Lol
