Sorry for wall of text. Kinda figured it was better than a bunch of individual posts?
My ability was stolen last night. Can't say whether that was a more wolfy or villagey move, but it sure does piss me off!
And on the note of the teep vote, meh, idk about lynching him on weakish stuff this early. He was a late add...like, not added until the game had already started. Seems chances of being wolf are kinda low.
If it really was an item then I'm not sure wolves would actually get notified about it. Although maybe item vs ability doesn't even make a difference and people never get notified of seering in kaydubs's games. But that would change my wolfy list a bit, I think.
If notified, I'd expect one maaaaybe 2 wolves to be ready to jump on the vote early. That would make me want to look more closely at AM and Teep. Then I would expect to see a few more jump on at kind of random intervals...kind of using the logic that dubz so nicely laid out earlier about why voting analysis doesn't work.
If I recall correctly, kaydubs leans a little more towards the more info side as far as notifications go. So while it isn't typical across the board for players to be notified when they're seered, I wouldn't be surprised in a kaydubs game.
Also I didn't say voting analysis doesn't work - I was specifically talking about analysis based on final tallies alone. I do think that in general votes on a day where info comes out against a wolf early on are harder to analyze, but I think yesterday was one where it isn't impossible, since genny was vague about it.
Sporty has had some very minor opposing language in her posts
Could you point to these posts specifically?
DVMD is wrong, but that doesn't mean wolfy, and I'm not sure she would push this hard on something like this, this early on, if she was a wolf.
She absolutely would
I feel like you are missing the point. Anytime anyone says I would/wouldn’t do that as a wolf” it doesn’t mean anything. I’ve said it too, but I know anytime I say it, it doesn’t mean anything and often admit that in the same post.
I don't know that I agree with this. Sure there is WIFOM. But sometimes people get tunneling on you and because they have decided you're suspicious, they see everything you do through that lens. What options are left for a defense other than pointing out how your actions make more sense for a villager than a wolf? Sure one thing here or there doesn't mean anything, but there comes a point where you have to actually look at what someone is doing and decide if it even makes sense for them to behave that way as a wolf. Because there are very few times when a wolf will do something to the detriment of their team in every other way, just because it might get them some village cred.
Even though the mod specifically posted for people to hurry up and get moves in? Hmmmmmm.
I mean, I was skimming and even I picked up that Genny had <something> to go off of.
You're usually way more attentive to detail. Your replies to DVMD are way off of your norm.
I do think some of pip's lack of attention to detail and being "off" or whatever to some extent this game is due more to real life things than game things.
I think it would be a bit of unnecessary self sabotage for her to have intentionally put herself in a position where she has to defend constantly on days when she should be studying. Pip's a smart enough wolf to have made these days a little easier on herself if she could.
I really want to point out here that I am usually way more attentive to detail AS A WOLF than I am as a villager, and actually in fact typically get significantly more side eyes early game as a villager
Hmmm who else has said things like this before?
😛
For dubz, it was deliberately done and right in the vicinity of a post how wolves would consider their votes carefully and do what was unexpected, so for her this one data point is neutral.
Isn't every data point with me neutral, or neutral leaning wolf?
😉
3 questions:
Who was blocked?
What was the wording of your blocked message?
Did someone “feel an odd tingling” last night?
I get that you're looking for a wolfy blocker or something (which would make sense - village blocker is dead, people are still getting blocked), but I'm kinda curious what exactly you're trying to do with this line of questioning. Because if you're just trying to build a list of people who were blocked, I don't know that it will be helpful in determining who the blocker is.
Ok, but what I'm also saying is that a lot of you guys were reading those conversations after they already happened. So, duh - of course it was easy to see what genny was saying in context. But I was responding to her as things were happening. So I guess, you're welcome for me being obtuse and making her elaborate?
Do you see what I'm saying here -- by the time some of you guys started picking up on this stuff, it was when I was also picking up on it. A bunch of you were doing catch up reads where everything has a logical flow pattern that makes it more obvious than a single post in isolation, which is what I was initially responding to.
For me at least, I didn't read ahead as I was catching up. So my reaction was essentially real time...not like I edited it based on later readings.
Does kaydubs usually put items in her games?
I believe so. But may need to double check that. I think the last game that she designed that I played was Under the Sea, and I was too busy chasing Cthulhu to pay attention to anything else.
Lol. What about my previous wolf play makes you think this is in any way something I would go for?
I have checked my PMs this game and am not a wolf. 🙂
Well LIS is now top of my village list!
In my experience in other games ability thieves usually have to use or lose an ability, they can't hoard them until they see fit or anything like that.
This is usually the case. I may have helped design a role that was...more along the lines of the latter, but now can't recall if it even made it into the game.
I mean a higher than normal wolf-villager ratio. I don't know how kaydubs usually distributes things. I'm just using some artistic license here.
It's still silly. Wolves need numbers. They can't predict how the rest of the game is going to go. You don't just go throwing away a wolf for no reason.
I kinda see where you're going with the surplus thing - if teep was a late add then hey, wolves had one to spare. But...I just don't agree with it.
WZ and Pippy's interactions yesterday where they both were sketched out by each other made me think of a mild version of LIS and Pippy from last game where they were both wolves. I want to say that pippy is leaning more village though because of the numerous word vomitting posts. So I'm leaning towards WZ being the wolfy one based on that.
So, you think it was like a wolf-wolf interaction, but you conclusion is actually that it was wolf-village? What?
Oh just saw this. I'm interested to hear from WZ and Teep about what they think of her.
Eh. I don't know what wolf roles look like this game. She seems innocuous enough though.
Working on my reads now, I still want to hear more from cyndia.
