SHWWENANIGOATS: The Unauthorized GGOATS Sequel - GAME THREAD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I wish I remembered how I played, too :hilarious:

I'm not neglecting my ISO'ing! Just all of a sudden have onboarding junk for starting fellowship tomorrow but still planning on it this afternoon/evening.

So I have been made aware of behind the scenes actions, but nothing has really come of such a thing in the main thread. Are people much more secretive with info these days? In the past in seemed like you tried to get that out early in case you got offed and took it to the grave.
I imagine the idea is to withhold information the wolves could potentially use against us. Is there anything you'd like to share to help with today's vote or are you being similarly secretive?

Depends on what the action was/the risk of talking about it, and also the relevant player. Some people tend to be more tight lipped than others.
 
I just feel like there are a lot of assumptions hinging on the potential of town reading him and there are other factors at play that don't look great for him. Also, imo, he could have run for mayor to throw us off the track if he assumed we'd have a seer for the same reasons that he wouldn't run
You're not even voting for him though

Also my follow up thought was important for my personal feelings on it. genny's point isn't the only reason I left the vote, in a vacuum.

There's still ways that might have been wolf strategy and I'd really like to see more thoughts from him but I also just like...didn't feel like things were right when he was leading the vote? Idk. Hard to explain. Thread felt misyeety.
 
Okay. I wasn’t understanding if those were affiliation groups or what was going on
Zenge went and did the thing where he comes out of nowhere with a new focus so I don't even know if it's relevant anymore lol

I did think about a possible Chillbo/genny pairing off and on though.

tbh that's one of my favorite things about his playstyle
 
I’ve been busy! And ruminating on the concept genny presented as a whole.

But I think I’m going to move.

Unyeet Chilly B.

Yeet Zenon


I actually think Zenon is a much better player than we’re seeing here in terms of solving. There’s scum equity here if you look.
Why her and not me?
This is very out of left field based on your previous reads
 
My point is you seem bothered about me and Zenge moving off of him but you're not voting for him yourself
Not bothered, just trying to learn more about your perspectives and proposing alternatives. I've had him as wolf leaning and that hasn't changed. I haven't moved my vote because I'm still kind of feeling out Sporty. I didn't appreciate the deflection of my question last night and the continued secrecy about the wolf tell. I don't have anything to go on with Zenon unlike Zenge (and you? I don't remember) who have played with her in the recent past, so the wolf tell seems potentially valuable for me to evaluate her. Just because sporty isn't sussing her anymore doesn't mean her wolf tell is now moot, in my opinion

Would you rather I vote for you? :thinking:

Given your out of left field vote for Zenon yesterday, the only thing I really need to solve is would you vote off wagon onto a packmate to lay low? But that’s not a question for today!Zenge

Look at you, expecting to live to day 4
 
@sheltermed what are the rest of your reads

I don't think they've changed much since yesterday-

I probably shouldn't be because she presumably hasn't had much time for the game, but I'm most wary of Sporty at the moment. I don't love the drop in, no catch up, no info, just found a supposed wolf tell, voted, and hasn't been back. Is that typically how she plays, or?

I don't know what to make of Zenon. I've felt pocketed by her a few times. I don't know if those that play on MU (AM, genny, WZ, Zenge? anyone else?) know her play style? I know AM asked for links to past wolf games but again I don't think I'm gonna read them. So all the more reason imo to hear from Sporty to see if that tell is legit or what.

I have AM, WZ, and Zenge as village leaning. I do think Zenge may be a bit quieter this time around but we'll see.

Genny is neutral and Chillbo maybe wolfy. Not much content but the rp for the latter. Would like to hear more thoughts about those ISOs he will supposedly be making.

I don't mind the Chillbo vote and I would be okay voting for Sporty again. But pressuring Sporty by just me voting for her doesn't really work, it'd need to be concerted effort. idk how anyone else feels about it.

Some updates to this,

We've yet to hear about Chillbo's ISOs and I also feel like the onboarding stuff shouldn't have been all that sudden if he knew he was starting a fellowship tomorrow.

It's not meant as snark, but your secrecy doesn't help me feel better about you. I'm not the only person who requested that information of you.

Zenge might be a little less village for me now with the sudden change, but he knows more about Zenon than most of us. I'm not sure if his reasoning is entirely solid, that she hasn't pushed anyone - while that seems to be true, she also said somewhere along the lines that she was having trouble making reads because almost all of us are new to her. So I have to make a choice between trusting Zenge and trusting Zenon. I'm hoping to hear from Zenon before end-of-day to make that choice.
 
I'd like to know what @genny thinks of the Zenge's push on Zenon.

@Animal Midwife if you have any further comments about it as well and/or Zenon in general I wouldn't mind hearing those as well

It can't hurt to see what she says regarding wolf reads. It's possible that I was incorrectly swayed by her decent sized village list.

Idk if it's as decent sized as it looked? (Unless you are not talking about this one?) She listed herself, and then I'm assuming "tu madre" is a joke, so that's just 3 ppl that are not herself at the time-
Fair and valid

Also your town welcome to the team. Dis is what I'm trying to accomplish and I'm sorry if I upset you while trying to understand you better.

Town

Zenon or whatever the **** my name is here
Sheltermed
Nanook
Wild Zoo
Tu madre


I play up to 10 games at a time. When this game started I was in 13 but several ended or I died and one I quit so now I'm down to 4 luckily lol

Also apparently she's playing 4 games????

Post below is the one I was referencing when I said I needed to make the choice between trusting her or Zenge:

I'm not really sure how to help you... or anyone else... find me. The only push on me has been based on an unexplained tell I can't defend against.

And my style of mafia is just like... kinda not working here at least yet. I just can't find enough towns.

Multitabling isn't AI so that's not factoring into anything for me.

Three is pretty good for an 11 person game on D2. However, sans a POE, things are a little more ambiguous.

I think the tell is officially dumped and isn't being used for any arguments against her at this point.

No. I don’t want you to vote for me

I just think it’s weird you disliked my vote yesterday and now today are voting there despite earlier today stating that Chillbo and Sportsicle were your wolf reads

I hadn't realized he disliked your vote yesterday
 
I guess @Zenge142 I wonder what changed between yesterday (real day, not d2 of game) and today with your view on Zenon? Did you just look into her individually more?

Reevaluating this, I do think there’s a lot of AtE in her posts but idk if that’s the usual for her.
