i would make a list of what we suspect to have so far, but that would help wolves make a decision tonight on who to kill based on clues in chat. if i survive today, and i reveal my ability, high chance i wont live to see tomorrow

I was never set on voting you but now I've moved off of it.

I just was looking for an explanation really.

It's potentially worth noting that our 2 confirmed villagers, one a yeet and the other a wolf kill, are both in the write-up as green text. Our one confirmed 3P player is in the write-up as blue text. Although that doesn't preclude the existence of multiple 3P factions that might have different tangential affiliations (neutral, wolf, village).

Night 1: The Daredevil’s Last Flight

View attachment 407924

As the sun slipped below the horizon, the fairgrounds did not quiet. The midway glittered with strings of bulbs, rides creaked into motion, and the scent of fried dough mingled with sawdust and livestock musk. Fairgoers bustled about their duties - some tending to animals, some checking ride safety harnesses, some vanishing into the crowd with unseen errands. The night was alive with motion, whispers, and decisions, each worker moving with purpose, though none could see the full picture of what was unfolding.

And then the call went out. A hush swept across the grounds. Everyone turned toward the arena where the seasoned Daredevil prepared her grand stunt. She stood tall in her sequined jacket, eyes glinting with the confidence of someone who had danced with danger more times than she could count. For years, she had been a fixture of the fair - guiding, teaching, watching over.

She mounted her rig, the crowd breathless as the lights flared. Fireworks cracked against the night sky, painting her silhouette in sparks. With every gesture, every flourish, it was clear this was more than entertainment...it was a distraction, a shield. For she, perhaps alone, understood: there were darker forces gathering here, hidden in plain sight. She would not let them strike tonight.

The air was electric as she leapt - twisting, flipping, defying gravity itself. Gasps and cheers echoed across the fairgrounds, her performance dazzling and impossible, meant to hold every gaze. The roar of the crowd masked the falter - the split-second where something went wrong. The stunt spiraled beyond control, and in a blaze of flame and smoke, she fell, her body crashing through the net with a sound that echoed in the night. Gasps gave way to silence, then to stunned applause, many believing the spectacle was part of the show. And then the applause turned to screams as the moments ticked by and she did not rise.

Those who had known her felt the truth: this was no accident. The Daredevil had offered herself, one final time, to buy them a night of safety. When the smoke cleared, only ashes and awe remained.

Dead is @genny , who was the Stunt Daredevil, a neutral third party player who was destined to die on night 1. ​

Night 2: PLACEHOLDER

The fair workers felt unsettled after the death of the spectacular daredevil. Was there a murderer among them? Absolutely. That they were certain.

But who?

The heated discussion began. It was agreed that those who’d been absent seemed more likely. Or at least less helpful?

As the moments ticked down, they came to a consensus. They knew who had to go.

Voted out is @sksisk - Ferris Wheel Operator, village tracker, capable of observing a fairgoer each night and learning who they visited.​

Night 2: Ducks on the Loose

The fairgrounds hummed with life well past midnight. Lanterns flickered in the warm breeze, casting long shadows over shuttered booths, while the smell of popcorn oil lingered in the air. Workers moved about quietly, tending to their secret tasks, though not all of them would see the dawn.

At the duck pond, things were never quite normal. What had started as a simple game of hooking rubber ducks had turned into something far stranger, thanks to its eccentric keeper. Alongside the plastic prizes swam a small gaggle of actual ducks, a bizarre crossbreed of carnival kitsch and barnyard chaos. “Keeps the customers smiling,” the attendant always said.

But come morning, smiles were hard to find. The attendant lay still beside the pond, their watch ended by a single vicious blow to the head. The rubber ducks bobbed silently in place… but the live ones? They wasted no time. Freed from their quirky caretaker, they marched out into the fairgrounds, quacking triumphantly.

By midday they had claimed the midway as their new domain, scattering cotton candy, knocking over lemonade cups, and chasing terrified children away from the funnel cake stand. Carnival workers swore one had even stolen a ribbon from the livestock barn. The ducks weren’t just loose - they were in charge now.

The fair had lost a friend, but gained a waddling, feathered menace.

Dead is @indysadventures, who was the Duck Pond Attendant, a village commuter, who could choose to leave the fairgrounds and make themselves immune to all night actions on non-consecutive nights.​

let’s go with this for now

unyeet PBC
yeet T4C

@WildZoo @kaydubs @Animal Midwife

Out of curiosity, what is your rationale for voting outside of the two players you seemingly received intel on last night?

Interestingly enough, I am sort of ignoring my own point from a few pages back that T4C should provide additional defense or point us in a helpful direction. They posted a couple of pages back but I'm not sure it really added much to the conversation, so they're still in contention for my vote. Still, I find it surprising you'd throw out Vampy and PBC then not vote for either of them. What is so compelling to you about T4C?

So you think Vamps is lying given they said their role is in green?

because their roles are associated with their affiliation. it says genny was 3p neutral, therefore justifying the blue on blue. i have blue (green) and thats all the more i will share bc then it touches into my OG message from the mods and win conditions. regardless, now it's known that my ability helps town/is town affiliated. so killing me is beneficial to wolves, but now that i've put that out in the open, idk how inclinded they will be to kill me knowing the rest of town will know i was killed for being town-helping/town-affiliated

[PrincessButterCup]

@PrincessButterCup what are your thoughts on this revelation?

I'm losing my mind. Of course no one up for yeet is going to confirm they're a wolf while they still have time to try and salvage it, but it's a little too convenient that we already have one revealed 3P role so we can shrug our shoulders and say "not a wolf, helpful 3P!" and it can't really be disproven.

It is suspicious that Vampy considers their role basically villager, has green text, and says their pm was ambiguous, but their role is fundamentally different enough from a villager that the two of us can be confirmed different affiliations and don't appear the same. If 3P they might not be dangerous to the game, but I'm not convinced they are 3P.

- what is the likelihood that there are multiple 3P players in a mid-sized noob game

- if vampy is a 3P and is not yeeted, our other seer type roles can hopefully check them out tonight to try and confirm wolf vs 3P (if possible)

- did @fruitsalad ever say why me and vampy were the bigger question marks for them compared to the people we were considering for D2 yeet?

for your noob question:

General Game Notes​

Game Design: Closed Setup, Role Madness. This means there are a lot of abilities floating around, but the full mechanics of the game are only known to the mods!
Please note there is no "standard" game setup on this site. Almost anything you can think of is possible here. Things can seem extremely wacky until you have full context. Rest assured we have done our best to design this game to be winnable by any player.

also i would like to point out there were 2 special events in the game. one was genny, and me being the first to vote could be the second as i did get a message from the mods that I would be the first one to vote this cycle. unless me being the first to vote wasnt the special event, therefore, we still await one more event.

Special Events: We have one or two special events planned to add a little extra fun to the game. Keep an eye out for these! They will be announced in thread and in the mod announcement PM.

for your fruit question:

so, I looked into vampy and PBC last night and found out they don't have the same affiliation (they aren't both village or both wolves, so something weird is happening). i looked into them because they're most experienced and village read pretty well, so if there's a spot for misdirection, it could be between these two. i think the purple text is a consequence of my finding a wolf or someone acting on me because I was pretty popular the previous day and a lot of people were discussing about me, the message wasn't clear on that aspect.

unyeet vampy

i'll trust you're telling the truth and i take your concern with my role v v towny bc lets be so real, i would probably do the same. i feel secure you're true town and that it was just unfortunate fruit picked us both haha.

and with that, i go back to my gut feeling

unyeet PBC
yeet T4C

@WildZoo @kaydubs

 

[PrincessButterCup]

I mean I would rather vote out someone who isn't contributing and doesn't exactly say much in their defense over someone who seems more sus, but is at least trying.

I know this is from before the Sk yeet was revealed, but do you still feel this way re: keeping sus players around because they're more active?

T4C has stronger, non-mechanical reasons that i feel comfortable pushing. i initially believed we’re dealing with a V/W situation, which is why i pushed PBC first, believing vampy was targeted by wolves and viewing PBC’s misinterpretations as further reasons to support the wolfread. however, the existence of 3Ps also explains the results i got, so i decided not to pursue the mechanical route, give a benefit of doubt to PBC and vampy, and resume my push on T4C

Nicole are you going to be at the picnic 👀

I am!! I just got out of orientation

What are your thoughts on what has transpired?

if that is the case then i will move off of T4C

yeet PBC

@WildZoo @kaydubs

Please remember to unvote 🙂

 

[nicoledoesvetstuff]

What are your thoughts on what has transpired?

I’m trying to catch up on what happened, but I’m still inclined to not yeet fruits despite their current (elevated) weirdness. I have a feeling that fruits and vampy are both being targeted right now, so I would rather wait and see what comes out of it rather than trying to yeet either of them right away.
Right now, I am still suspicious of T4C because at least from my perspective, we have clearer reasons from his posts to suspect him to be a wolf, so for now I will

Vote T4C

@kaydubs @WildZoo

If I think of anything else before I go to the picnic, I’ll come back and change my vote.

 

[kaydubs]

a reminder that you have to unvote/unyeet before casting a new vote/yeet.

Don’t want people getting upsetti if they don’t get their vote counted based on a technicality 😉

[PrincessButterCup]

These are two things that stand out to me about T4C so far.

Overall T4C has a close to even mix of off topic and gameplay posts, literally almost 50/50 depending on how you read some of the tangential comments. For example, mixing gameplay and off topic comments in this vote D2 strikes me as a strange choice, especially while they were up for yeet vote *because* of their lack of strategy posting?

unyeet CG
yeet sksisk

Also, great looking shrimp. Can't do the pasta, but I have shrimp chilling for me in the fridge, and the cocktail sauce isn't far behind.

Considering we weren't getting many reads out of them D2 and that's a big reason they were on the board, are the off topic posts a strategy to inflate their activity on thread without actually contributing?

I do wonder if beans getting support early for mayor was a wolfy move to see if they could take control early and pick off people. I have the same concern about fruit, but part of me is wondering if they need us to kill them off for some reason.

I think I was a useful distraction the first day and a half for the wolves, but there is def some ****ery going on behind the scenes. Blocking actions, limited posting, etc.

How does the mayor "pick off" people? I'd like more details on this thought process because the wording here is just a little weird and a big stretch.

 

[PrincessButterCup]

And both CeeGee and T4C floated the idea that Frutie was the poisoner because of their post restriction? Although CeeGee assuming the healer's identity would be revealed if they heal Beans just reads very noob to me. T4C's reply to CeeGee just feels weird considering D2.

Ok, so let me see if I’ve got things straight:

1. Beans was poisoned last night, or so they claim. If they’re truly poisoned, they have until the end of the next night cycle to be healed or they kick the bucket. Going off of what Vampy said, if the healer decides to intervene, will that reveal who they are to Beans in the mod messages? If yes, this could be a wolf ploy to pick the next target. If no, there’s not much reason for Beans to lie. And if Beans is V with the perks of being mayor, that would be a massive blow to us if they’re not healed.

2. Fruit has to type in purple and isn’t fully explaining why. It could be the result of an action he’s taken-like poisoning-or it could be the result of a night action against them. His initial cagey-ness could be due to him needing to organize his thoughts and regroup before posting anything. Because as we all know, every little thing gets analyzed here. It’s a reasonable explanation for his initial silence. I feel like while he has been a bit sus so far, it’s not enough to yeet him. Especially since we don’t know what else will occur on N3, him still being around could be beneficial.

Argh!! CG you are killin' me! I still have my suspicions, but I've been kicking around the possibility that the purple text was also a consequence of an action (like poisoning) and it'd be a giant blinking arrow pointed at Fruit, and their word salad responses seem to be meant to confuse. No worries, I was thoroughly confused, still am. That said, the fact that CG shared this makes me wonder their status bc I am also leaning that way.

Ya'll are playing Tri-dementional chess now in WW!!

I think I agree with the majority of players that
unyeet PBC
yeet T4C
seems to be a better move. I have no desire to lose another villager or village aligned player.
@kaydubs @WildZoo

 

[CeeGee14]

I'll cast my vote now since I may not get a chance to check in until after the day closes.

Yeet T4C

I'm hesitant to vote fruit, PBC or Vampy because there's just so much uncertainty. Fruit and Vampy have both revealed they have powers and given their experience in these games, I don't want to yeet them because they've been targeted. PBC has been active in problem-solving and deep-diving.

hello i am here, accepted a last minute Rover walk with the sweetest 90lb poodle mix. but i hate when people walk their dog in the middle of the day with peak sun, this poor dog was huffing and puffing 10 min into the 30 min walk and there were no shaded areas 😢

its been a hot one. i only give axel a full walk in the early morning, and later in the evening. when he goes out to pee during the day, its a quick in and out to pee.

i've been requested to do walks between 1pm and 5pm, at the peak sun and heat of the day. and i feel so terrible walking them because they are huffin and puffin 5-10min into the walk and i just wanna take them home. obviously if they're seriously struggling, i just take them back and tell the owner and offer a refund for the visit bc i didnt complete the whole 30 min

i have to go back tomorrow, friday and saturday to walk this gentle giant again bc the owner got scheduled extra hours at work..but man, i feel terrible

Ya’ll are making a mistake. I’ll read through this afternoon’s posts when I get home in 20min, so I’ll have an hour before everything locks.

Chores/errands taking longer than I thought they would. Plus I napped.

I feel weird that 9/12 of us are on T4C. There’s got to be wolves in that group and bussing this early on with two village kills feels like a bad move.

At the same time i'm not sure we currently have enough on anyone to move off of T4C.

T4C was actively under suspicion for a while, so bussing isn't that surprising

however, i am noting the late swing to T4C, it's certainly worth a closer look
