NAV DIDNT POST ENOUGH FOR YOU?! 🤣
 
I’m getting this out before I go to sleep again: I wouldn’t village read Nav because he’s spewing posts. He’s an excellent wolf. A really excellent wolf. He will spew post regardless of affiliation. There was nothing that he said that really made me village read him and me dying so early kinda concerns me.
 
I’m interested in evaluating the timing of BK’s switch from SAR to barks. Kinda doubt wolf but after suni proclaimed Barks a wolf and tagged BK to have her switch her vote from SAR to Barks it would have been downright strange for her to NOT switch over to Barks so that itself doesn’t buy village points for me. Unsure on this.

I think I said either with my switch or right afterwards that I was swapping in order to continue to self-prez, vote someone who I had also previously listed on my reads list, and also not lynch a claimed PR. I wasn't totally sure that barks was actually a wolf and didn't think that Sunbodi knew either- think I remember them calling out people for being wolves with no concrete evidence in the noob game too- but figured they were a better target than either SAR or me based on available info.

I skimmed the last few pages due to being called in but I’ll catch up on them tomorrow morning. And you’re nowhere near the top of my reads list at all, I just tend to let the complete and total paranoia consume me because I’ve been in some weird situations as a wolf.

Reading through I started to Wonder what happened to Wondering....strong presence all over the thread at all times in noob game almost matching bigcats, then seems to be laying in the background this game. Only day 1 though, and did pick up activity later in the day.
More difficult to post and keep up with the thread since I have had/having overnight shifts at work this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (today). Pretty much have an hour to catch up on whats going on in this thread between sleeping during the day and going to work. At least I can try to catch up on whats going on in the wee hours of the night when it isn't really busy at work. Additionally, it's D1/D2, people haven't posted a lot yet so I don't really know who I think is wolf yet.

I missed you 😍
 
You don't have a wolf read but you're lynching cubs? Why?
I didn't want us to end up in a tie (we did end up in a tie which worked out) but in the noob game when we did tie two villagers died (including our seer). Would rather learn from past mistakes. I had to pick someone and so because I had the slightest reasons for not picking the others I choose cubs.
 
Alissa is very sus in this game.

In the noob game when she was village she was very helpful and gave out a lot of rationale but in this game she isn't giving all the people she is suspicious in?
Yeah I'm feeling that slightly too. Alissa was giving me very village vibes in the noob game. Not sure if it is just because she has gotten a little more experience from the 90s game (and changed chat strategy through that) or somethings different this game.

edit: to fix the quotes

Just because I was equal parts amused and annoyed by this, will respond to the other stuff at whatever time I am able to wake up in the morning.

If you are complaining that I don’t post enough; check the sign up thread. Monday through Friday I will be here from 8ish am (whenever I wake up) to 2 pm, and then I work for 10-14 hours. Part of the reason why veterans stopped playing is they had jobs, there was too many posts to go through to adequately catch up/be here at the right times/etc. so they stopped playing. I am on emergency, for that 10-14 hours, this game is not a blip in my mind. I will post on the generally one time I go to the bathroom, which is the extent of the time that I am not doing work things. With that said, I will bet that I probably had more posts that at least 90% of the people playing, but my apologies that it’s not on your schedule 😉.

I'm way too tired to read this whole thread with my thinking cap on. Also would rather watch Stranger Things season 3 with the doctor and tech that is on shift right now and relax a little :shrug:. Sorry guys. Will outline my thoughts tomorrow when I feel a little more awake.
 
Also, interesting that Barks didn’t seem to have a power in the writeup but also wasn’t listed as a vanilla wolf. Anyone with more experience than me have any thoughts?
Oooh. Just had a thought. Would powers not show up in the dead list if they were co-opted by another wolf after death?
 
@Wolfie<3 What's your reads list? Would you have changed your vote on me to someone else if you were around before lynch close and, if so, to who?

Honestly it's hard to formulate a read's list from what I have glanced at so far. It seems like a lot of people are going off of knowing how people have played in the past, making it easier to read them knowing habits.

It seems like the only realistic villager read is sunbodi (unless killing off a wolf in a tie was their genius idea to make everyone believe they are villager 😛).

For the record, yes I would've changed my vote had I come in to see the lynch vote and not let it end in a tie (so i would've either switched to barks or someone else, which would've been basically voting barks anyways). Sorry I was busy celebrating my acceptance to Davis that I completely forgot about this game lol!

My only read now is everyone who jumped onto the BigCats lynch to try and possible save Barks? -- The 3rd and 4th vote would seem a little extra sketchy than cubs 2nd vote. So my light wolf reads currently would be killer and SAR.

Congrats on your acceptance- how exciting!! :biglove:

Not to completely negate that or anything, but

lynch Wolfie

I feel like I should be able to read you fairly well with all of the chitchat we did last game, but I’m not feeling the same vibes this game. Could also be convinced to go killerleaf, but I think you’re vibing weird and I’d like to know why.
 
Day 1 Captain Vote

coffee? (1) - Coffee
miz (1) - mutts
MsP (2) - Cubs, Msp
Alissa () -
Mel (1) - Mel
Killerleaf (1) - Killerleaf
Wondering (2) – Wondering, Cats
Genny (6) - Genny, SAR, Alissa, Lupin, Miz, Sunbodi
mpm (3) - mpm, wolfie, Barks


Not going to place too much stock in these just yet, but I know if people had looked more closely at the mayor votes in the noob game after they flipped a few wolves, they would've caught me, so not going to discard these either. Will say that Wolfie leaving her """joke""" vote on me all day + returning 4 minutes after results + voting the same place as Barks for captain- with the same exact joke reason ("because snacks")- has me feeling some kind of way.

lynch wolfie

All of this, plus it was actually two minutes after results (obvious lurking), and to add that to "i was busy all day sorry" but was clearly around and could have switched votes if they wanted to, being so concerned about a tie but hanging on an all day "joke vote."

Then tries to shade the people who got on the vote later (which if village is certainly a valid point) but places all guilt there for BC almost getting lynched, and none on self.

Coffee NK leads to thoughts of Wondering, but could easily be a framing. Alissa is super erratic compared to her first two games.

BC moves down slightly on the list.

Genny, MsP, Sunbodi pretty village, as its possible for a wolf lynch staging on first lynch but doubt theyd be that bold.

Hard agree about last part, and why I shuffled them into my village block. I think it’s pretty unlikely that wolves would have continued sitting on a wolf lynch when it was a 3-way tie- easily could have swapped over to me to “protect SAR”, especially given D1 craziness and plausible deniability, plus the fact that I’m new and have no established villager meta and also am playing the same as I was as a wolf. Think genny for sure was around at lynch close and could have waffled over to me if she wanted. Will check back on timestamps yesterday later to verify and also see who else was around.
 
I also don’t have any feelings regarding SAR’s self-prez vote for me, which I think I’ve said once or twice, and don’t find it suspicious one way or another. Everyone will always vote to self prez, no matter their affiliation. 50/50 shot of choosing me over Barks, not surprised SAR would go for an unestablished noob over someone they’ve presumably played with before and can read. I think it’s pretty iffy that Wolfie would focus on that.
 
Read the thread again. Lynch killer for now.

Part of the reason I’m changing my gameplay is because while it worked in the noob game, it got me lynched super early in the 90’s game. Sorry if this reads as suspicious. I’ll be able to check in all day today. I look forward to some good conversation.
 
FWIW, until I go through the thread again tonight, I think I’m feeling more villagery about alissa. Iirc she was sitting on a Sunbodi vote even though she was on and posting through lynch close.

Honestly I didn’t feel like switching. There was a lot of commotion between you, sunbodi, and barks. I didn’t want to flip my vote and have it disrupt that. Plus I didn’t feel strongly against barks and I felt even less inclined to lynch you last night
 
I also wanted to see the tie go through to see if Sunbodi’s tiebreaker claims were true

I think "shading" the people who bandwagoned onto my clearly defined joke vote is perfectly valid.

A second vote on someone with valid reasoning isnt a "bandwagon." Purely retal voting isnt going to help your case, either.
Didn't say you were the bandwagon, but you are in a way defending the bandwagon that formed.

Also why did you not switch your vote off BC if you truly don't believe they are Wolf? / To avoid the tie .. if you happened to be present before lynch close?

When did I ever say I didnt think BC was wolfy? I placed my vote there for that reason. Why would I just randomly switch to barks just because someone says so, especially when I had no solid reasoning of my own?

Apologies i confused you for killerleaf who bandwagoned onto BC with the retal vote.

good grief. I would swear that I was #2 on BigCats vote. ??? of course, that is what happens when playing on my phone. Was not intending for it to be bandwagon...I hate d1 lynches, as they are normally a shot in the dark. The same for d2. At this point, short of somebody rojo'ing, there just is not that much information. Going off of "meta" is not that much of a tell, unless it is someone who has played a lot of games. Totally useless if they have only played 2 or 3. With that said, for those of you that have played a game with me, you will know that I pop in and out and don't say a whole bunch. I try to keep up with the thread...but heavens...it is tough.
 
I am interested in mutts, killer, mpm, SAR, wolfie, and wondering today.
Same here... wondering is reading more villager to me today

Well gee thanks, now I can't even reply sassily to your other posts. 😛

To speak to your first point though, you're misreading my first post. I didnt say I had a read on Genny yet. Just that I can usually read her so would be comfortable with her being mayor as I'd likely be able to form a read on her within the first 2 to 3 days. More comfortable with that than voting for someone who I can't read at all at any point in the game

Usually people that feel they can read others well have brought it up prior to... idk the 20th+ game playing with them.

Really? Do you think Wondering could've strategized with a wolf pack within the first 5 minute of the game?
Also, Wondering posted before anybody mentioned mayor investigation and thus invalidating your point.

If you want to pull crap out of your butt, Bigs, make sure it is well-formed first.

This seems like an overreaction, which is interesting

You're right.

It's not fair to bandwagon off of someone but if a more experienced player says they know your play style well and I dont then that's all I can go with.

But since you pleaded your case well.

Unlynch SAR

Lynch Bark

Are you sure you aren’t MsP playing on two different accounts. Because play style and phrasing and all that Jazz is the same. But I guess what they said, birds of a feather, are the same gosh darned person.

Yep, I powerwolfed last game and it worked really well. You guys have a lot of experience and are better at thinking for yourselves than a bunch of noobs- I'm not quite there yet. That's why I'll always come out swinging as soon as night writeups come out- not only am I just really excited to play, but I want to put my opinion on thread before anyone else has the chance to sway me the way I would sway villagers last game. Even knowing that, it's hard not to look at other people's reads and want to reevaluate my own, but I need to be able to think for myself if I ever want to be a good player, and i can't do that if I just sit back and wait for other people to influence me.

Don't think I was trying to shade Coffee over game advice either- trying to shade over troll logic, sure. I love troll logic and I used it a lot when I wolfed. That's why I'll go after it when I see it- if it's a strategy I used to great success as a wolf, it stands to reason that other people might use it the same way.

“Than a bunch of noobs.” Sure you aren’t a veteran in disguise over there?

What do you think about the other people that voted without solid reasoning? Did you really decide on him based on profile pic?

Are they any of Nav's posts that you especially agree or disagree with?

Feels like a false shade interaction with Alisa. W/w interaction

My vibe checker as of EOD1:

Mel, Bark, SAR, Coffee

Also originally had Lupin but tentatively took her off.
Vibes for Coffee and Bark have strengthened throughout the day.

Interesting vibes 2/4 of those.

Why did your vibes increase by that time in the day on barks?
