Sega (WW) Genesis signups (& game thread)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Pippy, I know that something didn't apply to you D2 and N2. I hope you connect the dots on this one, and realize that if I was a wolf this was a very stupid thing for me to say because then I'd have just outed two wolves to you.
Why on earth would you say this in the first place? Like seriously, why would you bring something like this up?
 
Do you know about D3?
My knowledge ends N2.

Calculated risk because I’m an easy lunch to push and lynching me or forcing me to role reveal is REALLY bad for village.
Unlynch Dubz
Lynch Mel


I get to decide how much information I put about myself on the thread, tyvm.
I can’t tell if this is because you’re pissed that I vaguely hinted at something that very few people have an idea of what I’m talking about. Or if it’s because you actually think I’m a wolf.
If it’s the latter I already told you this would have been a stupid af wolf play.
 
In other news, I just realized I missed like, at least one full page of posts yesterday. Something I missed when they happened:

Ugh. unlynch Pippy, lynch Snowy.

That comment was the straw that broke the pony's back.
I think you're trying to be funny here with the last sentence, but this sounds really...forced to me. The "ugh." It's off. You keep unlynching villagers at the last minute to then lynch...a wolf and ????

Unlynch teep, lynch snowy

snowy just role revealed as the ability thief and that's an ability I absolutely think is worth lynching. Also reticent to give me their role name for reasons I can probably suspect
Just a general disclaimer re: the Snowy situation: I have trouble evaluating Snowy. Last time she was a wolf I defended her as sounding village. So maybe you are actually right. But...meh. Hard to overcome biases.

Teep has claimed to be Gambit from X-men...
Missed this entirely, probably would have still lynched him for being off-theme haha (although I love Gambit. and the X-men).

Ah **** guys, snowy will be a waste of a lynch today if she's the ability thief
I'm sure you can figure that out
Also missed this. Good lord what is wrong with me.

Pips I go back and forth because she is all over the place and feels village for the most part, but I didn't like her propagating the tie between me and Teeps. That is just not a normal thing for villagers to be happy with ties.
Just to clarify why I was ok with that tie: I like to protest ties when I think they are not worth the extra information gain. It is sometimes ok -- even beneficial -- to have a tie. In a game where we lynched a wolf D1 and where both candidates on the board were decent info options (in my opinion), then ties are a-ok. 👍

WZ sketches:

Pushing britz to talk during lynch and saying she was sketchy early on but not voting for her. She seemed like she was trying to push pippy's sketchiness D2(?). Long posts of replies to everyone, but not asking people questions about why they are saying/doing what they are and not much analysis. Just words.
Even after a few days of many post, still havent seen much analysis of players besides me and pips.
I still agree with this, btw. It's why I had dubz in that initial list that included AM. It was like dubz was coming in as the clean-up crew.
I don't much like last minute tie breaks. Knowing teep was village and being as of yet not 100% on your affiliation, it's a little difficult to parse out. Bold wolf play to save another wolf in a tie though, I think that move is more often village.
I feel like today you're pushing AM as wolf, and yesterday you were like "oh I don't like this super sketchy looking thing she did, but I think it was actually more of a village looking thing." I realize opinions can change, but I'm just noting the progression because clearly I am struggling to keep track of things this game.
 
I can’t tell if this is because you’re pissed that I vaguely hinted at something that very few people have an idea of what I’m talking about. Or if it’s because you actually think I’m a wolf.
And jesus, just when I think I have an inflated sense of my own intelligence...

You like to make these statements suggesting that no one except a select few are able to follow what you perceive to be these complex, elevated problem solving trajectories. Newsflash #2: smart people play this game. You are not magically 3 steps ahead of everyone else like you so often seem to believe. And I don't like my information being flagrantly tossed around in order for you to further your superiority complex.
 
@WildZoo if not Snowy, who would you be lynching?



@SnowshoeDog143 if not WZ, who would you be lynching?

Probably Allie or Jil. But I would probably feel better about lynching allie if WZ turns up wolf. I also would like to look more into LIS as he hasn't been in anybodys suspicions yet which worries me slightly. Sporty is hard to follow - feels like she's all over the place, but could just be village indecisiveness. Since she's the mayor, I'd feel more comfortable lynching her later in the game if people still think she's sketchy then. Mel is staying neutral because I can understand his flow of logic and it makes sense, but cray and her wild theories completely tricked me to putting her village last game when she was a wolf. And now he's just pulling an stl move and I haven't decided what to think of it yet.

I'd actually kind of like her to lay out her reasoning for target selection for the known targets.

vmh was next to me, so if pms ever opened I would be able to talk to her, so I wanted to see if I thought I could trust her and mel was leaning more village to me from the day then she was. Wz is always hard for me to read and plays a pretty good wolf which is why I chose her D2.
 
So sorry about talking about irl stuff, but I won't be active much today. I have staff meeting soon and then my first solo shift at my new job, so I should get on the last hour before lynch because that's my lunch break, but the rest of the day I won't have my phone on me. I would like to see a list of suspicions from Jil - actually just more thoughts from her in general. Also would like to hear from MJ now that he's active. I don't know if kdubs would make him a wolf if he wasn't active the first few days, but since the late added player was village there is a better chance MJ would be a wolf. I am curious about AM's suspicions as she has mostly been asking questions, but I don't remember her stating her thoughts on people much (though I haven't looked back and got to leave soon so I might be wrong). Though I think a last minute tie break on two villagers is not something a wolf would ever do, but I could see chaos trying that.
 
I feel like today you're pushing AM as wolf, and yesterday you were like "oh I don't like this super sketchy looking thing she did, but I think it was actually more of a village looking thing." I realize opinions can change, but I'm just noting the progression because clearly I am struggling to keep track of things this game.
Yeah I don't quite know where I stand on her yet. Feels say village, one action says village, one action says wolf. I'm planning to ISO her posts once I finish looking at shiny things.

This is a mess (and definitely one that I think will be more useful after we have some more info). But looking over it I think I have to give AM another half village point. She was all over the place at the end of the lynch and I think that leans more village than wolf. Will still be looking at her posts.

LIS staying out of the main action is odd, and then popping in two minutes after lynch to call me sketchy when it seemed like he wasn't quite caught up on what was going on...hmm. I could see the first part being because he was busy/just wasn't around but he was real quick to jump on the lynch dubz train without even acknowledging that I had given a reason for my switch.

Timing clarification: @vetmedhead when exactly did snowy reveal to you?

He's becoming another STL. I can't handle another STL. Especially if he's not gonna deliver wolves on a silver platter 😉
 
Missed this entirely, probably would have still lynched him for being off-theme haha (although I love Gambit. and the X-men).
I saw this on reread and realized I also missed it, but I don't think it would have changed anything. I already didn't really think he was a wolf but was too late in the day to change much, and I think soon after that was when it came out that snowy had been the one who stole my ability.
 
Also would like more from @vetmedhead today -- I feel like she is skating by a little more than usual/her posts are less insightful than they usually are.
Working on it currently. Can you also tell me a little more about what particularly is pinging you as "less insightful"?

I'm gonna be honest, you've been telegraphing what I think is your role ability pretty hard for like 2 days now. Also, saying things like the bolded make you a great wolf kill target, especially given that we are currently sans protector in this game.

As an aside, I have pippy on a pretty decent village lean right now. Her freaking out on thread is very reminiscent to me of the first few times we played WW together and she always sets off my wolf bells when she's village but not so much when she's a wolf.

EDIT: I forgot to bold the bolded lol

Snowy revealed to me at 7:50, I asked for some clarification and she replied back at around 7:54ish, and I think I outed her on thread right around then because it didn't feel right to me and time was ticking down on the lynch.

I'm in the superior timezone (MST) by the way, so lynch close would have been at 8 PM.
 
I will also add that snowy told me her role name 2 minutes before lynch but I don't know how I feel about it. Googling wasn't overly helpful for me in learning more about it and I didn't play much Sega as a kid.

I don't know how much I can really quantify it. It's more that you have been kind of generally absent (typical for you, so that's not concerning), but when you have shown up, I just haven't felt like you've been as sharp with going after people as you usually are. I also feel like you are very blatantly village when you are village (because despite your frequent protests to the contrary, you're an excellent villager). Idk, basically I'm on the fence with you right now and that is concerning to me in and of itself. This kind of post is maybe a little better?

Agreed. I also chuckled that he is worried about being forced to role reveal because he is already doing it himself :laugh:

Although tbf I could potentially see a couple of different abilities that could fit.

I can't tell if this just means you are getting better at reading me or if you are trying to pocket me lol
 
I already mentioned that I was staying off the britz lynch because I personally had nothing to go off of besides Genny's word at the time. I like to do my own thinking and was pretty sure the lynch was going down without me anyway. I chose to vote elsewhere to show that I wasn't just throwing around a theory to see if it gained traction (I was ninja'd by pippy on this one) but actually seriously considering it.
Don't care about this
Exclusion of the situation of britz flipping wolf and the wolves staying off the lynch was because it was the least likely scenario in my mind and entertaining it leads to a dead end analysis.
But this is BS. It doesn't lead to dead end analysis any more than what you said does. Your analysis of "if britz is a wolf, there are wolves on her lynch" leads to "Wow, one of these 12 people is a wolf." Revolutionary stuff right there 😉

So not until long after the original deadline. I am really suspicious of why she didn't make more of an attempt to defend if she didn't know she was going to avoid the lynch.

I could see the first part being because he was busy/just wasn't around but he was real quick to jump on the lynch dubz train without even acknowledging that I had given a reason for my switch.

Why is it odd for me to stay out of the main action? Is there some rule that says that once there are leading candidates everyone has to switch and vote for one of them?

You're touting nonsense. I liked my vote and didn't see a reason to switch.

The reason I called you out is that I perceived you to be making a last-minute switch and I didn't see a reason for it. Looked sketchy to me. Which also is why I didn't acknowledge you giving a reason - I didn't see one.

So after all that, you spend the bulk of your analysis talking about me staying with a lynch I felt good about, and then calling you out for last-minute moving? That's it? That's all you got out of that?

Yeah. Sticking with my vote.

I thought about the pocketing thing as I was typing this because in the past village you would piss me off so much that I would start a fight on thread and try to murder you. I like to think my play style has evolved to include slightly less screaming.

I've just been chronically behind on thread this game, frankly. I finally got through a sort of iso read through of the players last night and wrote some thoughts down on a spreadsheet, but I had to cut it short when lynch deadline got too close so it's not as thorough as I'd like. I also kind of hate the massive reads lists that people post so I don't usually share my own unless I have very strong feelings that someone is wolfy, but this game has been frustrating because almost everyone is reading as lukewarm at best to me. Now that I'm on my lunch I'm currently working on re-revising my list with some things I've been mulling over.

If you want, I can switch from Cheezy to MiniSuperSpy.

I had been thinking about that too but I'm not sure if she was just busy with IRL stuff until later and hadn't been checking the lynch or what (I usually try not to read too much into this sort of stuff). Sporty Snowy had initially started a PM with me at, like, 1 PM yesterday but we didn't talk much and I didn't send a message to her to ask if she had any private defenses until about 7:40ish.

Seems to me there's incredibly little differences between role revealing and saying "forcing me to role reveal is REALLY bad for village."

But what do I know. You're the big WW expert.

No, there isn't a rule, but I'm actually used to you moving your vote to somewhere more useful most of the time. Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I thought I recalled you moving your vote off of your main candidate (ceke a couple games ago comes to mind) if it wasn't gaining any traction.

I did give a reason for my switch. Just because you showed up 2 minutes after lynch close and hadn't read it doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Like I said, there's not much else to get out of that vote without knowing some more info. I compiled it for now but I'm hoping it will be more useful later - for me or whoever is alive later. If someone can get good info out of it right now, kudos to them, but it's probably a lot of conjecture.

Shouldn't be on here right now and haven't read through what I missed yet, but I think you're thinking of someone else, since we did not speak yesterday.

It's true, I have played it both ways (moving my vote to be more 'in play', or also leaving it where it sits). I dunno why I do one one time or another a different time. *shrug* Probably just whether or not I have enough investment in one lynch candidate or the other. And whether I've really analyzed the comments leading up to the vote. And moon phase. *shrug* I think if you start digging that deep into meta you're probably going too far, but that's just an opinion.

I didn't say you didn't give a reason - I said I didn't see it. You were calling me out for not acknowledging your reason. Fine. All I am doing is pointing out that I didn't see it. Tough to acknowledge what I don't see. Big deal.

Just seems like you're stirring the point ..... kinda pointlessly? Like, nitpicking things that aren't significant, yanno?

I still think that at the moment, I'm content to vote for someone who has lynch avoidance - especially given that you were kinda vague about it. (Yes, I read your comments indicating you were confused about your role ability; I'm not sure if I believe that or not.) It's <more often> a wolf ability, but yes, lynch avoidance can be village. And kill avoidance definitely can be village. But we don't really know that you have kill avoidance - we just have your word on that. We do know that you had, at least, lynch avoidance.
 
Just want to say that if you are doing this and you are a wolf, then I am going to give you mad props after this game simply for sheer effort of typing all this **** up.
Lol. Not gonna lie, would definitely do it as a wolf, probably have done similar things.
 
Purely from role ability I'm inclined to vote snowy over dubz... however, purely based on posts I'm inclined to vote dubz over snowy.

I know that kaydubs likes to put in supremely sketchy villager abilities into her games. I remember one of the first games I ever played in was a kaydubs game and I was a villager who couldn't be night killed. It was sketchy as hell and I got lynched for it. I think she does it to encourage more discussion about a player up for lynch than just "that ability is ALWAYS wolfy". Don't get me wrong, I would love the information from a snowy lynch right now, and could be easily swayed into it, but my gut is telling me that dubz may be a better person to check out right now.

Just something I noted, dude. I haven't compiled all of my thoughts into real reads yet, I'm certainly not voting for you at the moment. It was just a data point (maybe one and a half).

I wasn't really digging that deep into meta at all, just recalled from the most recent games I've played with you as village. Recency bias maybe? I could see that.

I also don't really see that there is much to do right now but look for small details. Or lynching people based on their ability. Which is fine, but if you're going to be stubborn about that I'm not sure anything I say now matters anyway. Yes, I had a lynch (technically general death) avoidance. Yup, that's more often wolfy. In this case, it's not. That's all I can say about the ability. I would hope you would look at more than that alone.

And I don't think I was vague about it. My first comment was that if snowy had stolen it, we wouldn't be able to lynch her. That's pretty specific. I backtracked a bit after rereading but if I was intending to be vague I probably would have started out that way. Do you see why it wouldn't make sense for me to have made that later comment if I already knew for sure that she was going to avoid the lynch?
 
****BECAUSE YOU ABUSED THIS, NO PMs for anyone - unless you are only PMing the mod.*****
And stop it with the PMs, kids. I don't want to see any more PMs exchanged by ANYONE (including those who were outside the PM DVMD funeral rule). You're all in time-out.
I have a question about this that I want to toss out to the village: do you think the PMing ban included the wolf PM? They obviously were punished alongside village since night was skipped (so they lost out on a wolf kill) so I wouldn't be surprised if they lost out on the wolf PM at least temporarily as well. Makes me wonder if it may impact how some of our wolves may be posting today if there is a lack of chatter between them. Some people don't do well without the wolf pack to lean back on.

I suggest you make an appointment to get your gut checked.

And also recall that your gut was reading me wrong last game before you were killed.
