I'm thinking we may have 2-3 wolves. Does that seem reasonable? I know this is a small group so I'm not sure what to expect. We only had 4 wolves last game with 23 players so 3 seems like a bunch for this game but 2 seems like too few.
3 would be standard. A couple recent games that ran at this size had 2 and a 3p.

If I was in zenges casino I’d bet on
3 wolves
2 wolves with convert
3 wolves plus 3P
 
At this point, I feel pretty good about zenge and samac. AM is presumed village because I wouldn't know how to differentiate her wolf vs village play. Dana I am currently neutral on, but the trust issues from the noob game are definitely at play there. kdswg also checked in very infrequently in the noob game and made ping-y comments, resulting in the misyeet, so I don't think that is AI here. Haven't seen enough of genny to form an opinion. Dubz is similar to AM in that I don't know how to do anything other than village read her. True feel strange. Not different from the last game but strange, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's trying to pull TWTBW. No opinion on barks, sporty, or bob. I don't know how to read Dad. blue in general has a wolfy aura so I don't know how to interpret that here.
Basically I have a whole lotta nothing, but if I had to categorize my current thoughts:
Zenge, Samac, AM, WZ
kdswg, SP, BLL, barks, Dad
True, blue, Dana

I did it, Dubz! I've finally seen my name in a color other than bright green 😁

And as far as rankings go, this is pretty similar to my set up with kids lower and WZ yellow. So another person I feel ok about so far meshing with my reads in addition to samac.

whats making you read dubz as more neutral than village? i gotta admit im with sheltervet on that one and struggling to differentiate her wolf play vs village
 
i know its still early but im not a fan of a three-way tie at all. most of yall saw that ties seemed to go in my favor in the noob game, but what you didn't see was me screaming/crying/throwingup in wolf chat the entire time while offering everyone up as sacrifices to the mod gods 🤣 that being said, i dont want to vote somewhere just because there's a tie if i dont feel anyone in the tie is wolfy enough to deserve a vote. i am in agreement with True that cubs's comments about people chatting just to fill space is kinda odd given the fact that cubs has posted a fair amount of filler too. and i do also think it was strange that kdswg came in and salt yeeted blue instead of me, when i was literally one of the main people responsible for yeeting them in the noob game and stoat didn't even yeet them out. i dont think i have enough to go off of for a vote yet, but i just wanted to put my thoughts out there. then again, will i truly feel comfortable calling anyone wolfy day 1 with basically just vibes to go off of at this point?? probably not haha
It’s like 26 hours to go.

From what I've been told, by both Dubz and others, her wolf and village play are extremely similar. So she might be neutral out of caution.

26 hours to go and im like one of the only people who hadn't placed a vote! i was just trying to throw my thoughts out there with that post

thats pretty fair. she was very very kind to me and the other wolves in the noob game so i definitely have biases that would make me want to trust her too
 
Genetics

Idk what to say about samac
Am answered it below. What I lack for in height I make up for with posts.
Wait, maybe that's the other important factor. Perhaps highposting were the real inches we gained along the way.

I have a rule for this game that I don't want to play on my phone and I don't want to spend more than an hour on the thread. I will be recusing myself to nondigital existence for the rest of the evening because I have flagrantly defied my own productivity rules today. But I'm looking forward to reading the thread tomorrow.
Impressed with the boundaries. I play exclusively on mobile unless I need to make a spreadsheet otherwise I would do it all the time at work.
I continue having mini freak out moments thinking vote closes tonight lol. Now the margaritas are in play so thank goodness it’s Thursday.
GUESS WHAT I HAD TONIGHT CUBBIE?!
It was a jumbo margaritaaaaa
See I think my terminology is what gets me in trouble. Barks hasn’t even been here. She did one “village” thing that I pointed out, so as a starting point I can use that to begin to form an opinion. It’s not like shes some hardcore village read. My solid village read category now includes all of Samac, with village *points* or *leans* or whatever you want to call them for several other players.
Knock me out of your foundation before you get me night killed
No thoughts, just vibes.

Actually I killed Sporty last game because she asked for death in the thread. Sometimes wolves are niceish.
I do this all the time if someone is a consensus village read. Dubz and april come to mind.

I lean toward 2 with some power.

Dubz can power wolf like it’s nobody’s business. She sounds near identical, if I’m going to find her it’s usually with interactions with flipped wolves.

That being said, I felt comfortable village reading her early in casino but I’m not feeling those vibes yet so I’m holding off.
 
Hi, hello, I'm finally home and (mostly) caught up on the thread. I was busy last night and worked today so bear with me if I missed something someone asked me
Actually... slight ping here. Totally legit if youre looking forward to playing and just saw it started but could have been an "oh **** im a wolf, what do i do" moment and decided to make the first post now.
I was out with friends and had checked in just to see if roles had been released so it was genuine surprise, I truly was not expecting the thread to be up
@kdswg
Blue didn’t even end up on your vote?
Why her and not Dana who was a wolf and on your vote?

kdswg (7) - puppy, lumya, Dana, weagle , AceHydro, TME, MiyaMiya
Miyamiya (5) - kdswg, justafluff, worthlessO2, bluestoat, violetvett
I wouldn't really consider Dana a part of my misyeet since from her perspective (as a wolf) it wasn't a misyeet? At that point the wolves had to kill me no matter what so no salt towards Dana. I called out stoat bc she took me down with her by saying she was going to investigate me, idk if I would've had so much attention that night otherwise
I wanna yeet kdawg.

Actually imma do it
I don’t remember their actual name
For the real ping and sketchy follow up
Unyeet AM
Yeet kdawg



LOOK MA IM VOTING EARLY
****
lol sorry for my name being gibberish, this is the random string of letters I decided years ago would be my username for spam accounts. I was going to change it before the noob game but I had already signed up and thought that might be confusing. Yall can call me whatever, any random string of letters is fine, as long as it starts with a k I should be able to tell that its me
****
I'm not saying you guys have to follow my voting rules, I was just stating my preference. Fresh nooblets tend to be early misyeets fodder and I don't like crushing their spirits.
idk, i think maybe dubz is onto something here
The oddness is part of why I don't want to vote there. Just seems a little too nonsense and more playful. It would be interesting if wolf!kds wanted to start a bandwagon and that was the first bid, but this doesn't seem like the way to do it. Views subject to change if there is more aberrant gameplay than just goofing around.
twas total goofing around. If it make yall feel better I'll
unyeet stoat

That is a little more aberrant. Still not a vote from me. Not quite how I recall things happening and not the best logic in my mind. I was night-killed by wolves and that's just such a strange way to phrase my post-rez suspicion of you.

@WildZoo I have no self control so let me respond to your cubbie question in a bit

In fact, the way you approach this makes it sound as though I, personally, was responsible for your yeet-- despite all four wolves minus mkg being on that vote. Going to quit referencing another game now, but nothing gets me scratching my chin like reasoning that seems peculiar.
 
I would have totally bought something like "salt yeet for the lulz"

was not talking about your post rez suspicion, multiple people cited that moment as a contribution to their vote that night, thinking that I killed you as self-prez. Also twas a joke, do jokes need perfectly sound logic now?

Everyone knows I have as much sense of humor as a moldy sock. It's just all kinds of bad and you don't want to keep it

Note here for future stoat: write order of KDS yeets for later reference from this time point

There’s this things wolves do sometimes.
It’s called over explaining.

Since you’ve (mostly) caught up what’s your thoughts on the thread so far?
few thoughts, mostly vibes at this point. Maybe its noob solidarity but true is leaning slightly village for me, kinda seems like he's village trying to learn from village mistakes in past game. I was genny's sidecar in bounty hunting, and their vibe seems the same although with the mechanics of that game idk if thats helpful. Neutral on most others.

I'm probably missing something but why is the consensus that you and cubs are v/v? Some of your interactions seem like they could be pocketing. I've gotten worse vibes from him, and I dont like how he village read some for joke posting and wolf read others for the same
 
Well thanks KD, that's good to see! Edit: re: mods posting vote tally
