There are multiple characters in the show who cheat death -- some of them are bad but some of them are good so I don't think n=1 on ability alone is going to tell us very much tbh, and I think the "lynch it if it doesn't die" rule is stupid

I don't understand why the death avoidance was brought up earlier then.
 
Non-snark answer:

The show has had basically the same main antagonist for 4 seasons -- it keeps coming back in various forms. It literally is hit with high energy weaponry and fire and chemical weapons and things that cause rifts in space-time and it still doesn't die.

BUT

There are other bad guys who are people, not monsters

AND

good guys also experience things that would seem like horrible deaths, but they are not dead

ALSO

some good peeps get into some bad trouble and are actually the accidental antagonists behind many of the scary situations in the series -- Will in particular is a problematic character in the first couple seasons.
 
Also -- re: what I think about Snowy avoiding death...it doesn't change what I said about voting for someone who doesn't die.

If she's Dart, it doesn't matter. If this is faithful to the show, we're probably not going to be able to kill the demogorgon by voting for it. Only one character even stands a chance.

So it's potentially non-wolf for balance reasons
 
Okay I'm here for a short bit then going to bed

To comment on this: A joke vote = No justification! I don't care if they were a wolf last game, that's last game, therefore that's not a real justification. To me, your "justification" is a joke and therefore has no real bearings on this game.

PippyPony said:
Does my vote look like a joke vote?
Click to expand...

You didn't justify it. It was a post with a vote and that was it. That goes under N/A for vote reasoning.

Kinda super duper sketch here

Maybe I don’t understand the dartboard concept, is it like RNG voting? I thought it was more based on shooting to see what sticks sort of thing...


I honestly feel like rocky has had a lot of slightly contradicting or confusing posts, this makes me want to lean them village because I think wolves are more careful.



I thought this was funny that Wonder notes Snowy’s absence, when previously they were absent with few posts.


Suni’s posting style so far seems a lot more calm and effortful. Just because this isn’t how their posts typically are, I am leaning slightly wolf on them.


I know others questioned it, but I never caught the reply (if there was one). Why are you so certain either of these roles are in play?


I have never watched Stranger things, so I couldn’t tell you.



I find it interesting that Moose gives thoughts on Allie/wondering affiliation but states multiple times that they don’t have enough info. It’s almost as if they are trying to have a buffer in case either get voted and flip village.
Click to expand...

I'm not buffering, I'm saying I need more time to firm up affiliation, going based on how I feel now they're this but that can change. Feelz and affiliations can change based on how the game progresses. Remember Mayo last game? You have to be willing to admit you were wrong about feelz for someone and move on to catch wolves or you get tunnel vision.

Have you been reading all my posts today? Tell me your read on Snowy.
 
My thoughts:
I don't like how Snowy bandwagoned so quickly despite the fact they weren't here. BUT...the not dying part is pretty weird and I would hope for a bit of an explanation on that if possible. Could be an alpha we're dealing with here.

Rocky changing votes multiple times over single statements is weird and there doesn't appear to be much original thought behind his vote movements. A bit chaotic.

While AM started the Snowy votes (by just being the 1st person to vote there, not the person to start a wagon), Wondy kinda got the ball rolling and it kinda spiraled out of control way too quickly for my comfort. Looking at Wondy and Rocky together.

Don't like how Sporty jumped on Snowy. I get avoiding ties but Sporty said why Snowy by not "why not Mutts?"

Speaking of Mutts, that Sporty vote seemed uber sketch. Watching you.

Also Genny, what's with the swap to Mutts to make a tie???

Allie did a weird chaotic vote that contributed nothing to the game. So fluff from there.

Feeling ok about AM, BC, Pippy, and Lawps

I think Wondy brought up a reasonable point about the avoidance of your question. But there are 2 trains of thought for me, if I'm going based off of posting I'm thinking busy villager. If I'm going off of the not dying despite being voted, I'm thinking wolf. The not dying part trumps the 1 post thing village-leaning for me. I did read your post saying you've been a wolf and done the 1 post thing and then leave so it's definitely been done before.
I'm concerned that by voting for snowy again we could be dealing with an alpha and that she won't die and we'll start this game off on a bad foot losing villagers 2 nights in a row without having the capacity to vote out a wolf that's not Snowy.
What do you think of Snowy not dying?

Could you explain your ultimate lean (just the affiliation) of rocky, Wonder, Sporty, genny, and allie? I'm getting confused about what your wolfreads are.

Well, I never said anything about voting her again. Just wanted to know your perspective. I voted her before this revelation so I think that answers the bolded.

Same reason you were interested in my affiliation read of Snowy. You believe in your own posts, and so do I but we still question others even when they agree with us, it's the nature of the game.

I said Neutral wolf because the posts they've given have sketched me out but I'd like to see more posts to put them in the wolf pile.
I think VCA is super helpful when you have some context (i.e. more than 1 day). I think the grouping is interesting though. My reads are what they are and hopefully there will be more context as the game goes on

That doesn't really make sense to me. I voted Snowy and you didn't and you kept claiming I was simply sitting on a joke vote. What exactly about that are you interested in from my end?

So rocky is your only true wolf read despite putting Snowy, who you also think is a wolf, in danger? Which would have occurred in addition to Snowy trying to start a vote on rocky?

I want to know if you think Snowy didn't die because she's an alpha wolf or because she has a PR. I'm curious how the development of her not dying affects your affiliation read of her. Does it?

And Rocky is my strongest wolf read at the moment. I think Snowy is potentially a wolf. If we're to take the VCA into account, it looks like Snowy might be a villager but based on my other reads, the order of voting is off since Wondy and Rocky voted for Snowy before Lawpy and Genny put Mutts in danger (i.e. the wolves wouldn't have piled onto snowy like that unless another wolf was in danger). I'm leaning Mutts/Sporty being w/w.

I need to go to bed because I'm super sleepy and got lots to do tomorrow.

Contingency Vote Rocky

The flip flopping is killing me.
 
Man. Crazy how on D1 you can change your votes throughout the day based on your individual reads—when you really don’t even have that much to go on to start with—and it makes you “sketchy”. I have a feeling the same thing would have been said if I just stuck to any one vote, so it’s not like I care. Read what you read, but you’re truly wasting your time mincing my words. I gave a reason for every action I did, did none of the last minute waffling at 7:55, and it’s still not enough? Cheesus Christo.

So if mutts/Sporty is w/w (not even counting the fact that this mean mutts intentionally put Sporty in danger) why are you voting for neither? And if you think Snowy is still a wolf, why vote exactly where she did yesterday instead?

You have to try. It's the only way to solve the game before wolves force you into a corner. Trap as many wolves as you can into one net instead of running back and forth or you'll burn out just before endgame.

Let extrapolate from the two reads you mentioned. Do you believe rocky and allie are wolves together?

Day 1

The three boys made it to their separate homes in short time, their bikes carrying them swift as the wind. But one found that he was not alone. He had been followed by something monstrous, something unthinkable. He ran, not knowing where to hide or what to do. Finally, he tried to fight back.

giphy.gif


And in the morning, when his family expected him to arrive at the breakfast table, he was nowhere to be found. There was not a single trace of him. The hunt was on for who had taken Will Byers.

The citizens of Hawkins went after @SnowshoeDog143, but she zoomed out of their reach.
No one has died.

Something is coming. Something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness. It is almost here.

It is now Night 1. Night Deadline is 9am EST (or when all actions are received).

Why did no one die?
 
Tentative pack of Sporty, Big Cats and +/- Kota

Aside from the previously stated Sportys confusion seems forced and hopping on Snowy felt opportunistic
Big Cats vote on me seem like they were trying to protect Sporty and were able to lead a wagon on me
Kota strangely being suspicious of BC and pippy enough to call them wolfy but voting off of the 2 for “playstyle”

Same question to you. Have your thoughts changed?
Click to expand...
I guess the fact that genny took it as a joke vote and wasn't too bothered by it makes me feel better. But joke vote or not, I think it's really silly to be voting for someone just because they're a "strong player"...regardless of things that happened in the last game since clearly not everyone played that game or followed it. I've been crucified for my D1 votes before when I was just trying to come up with any logical reason at all to be voting for someone so I get it. Back in the day (lol) D1 votes were basically a popularity contest...there was very minimal reasoning at all.
WonderingStudent said:
@SnowshoeDog143 you coming back?

Not liking that you've only made one post, AM asked you a question about it 4 mins after you posted and you haven't come back yet so...

unvote allieh, vote snowy
Click to expand...
Is it so weird that someone got caught up on the thread, voted, and then genuinely had to leave? I wish she would have provided more insight and reasoning, yes...but I've had to post a vote and then leave the thread for hours before too. It'll be interesting what snowy has to say today.

Maybe others can chime in, but this way of voting is pretty on par for my meta. And not to make excuses, but work is insane lately and there's no way I can stay caught up during the day. I work until 7-8:30pm every night depending, sometimes later. I had assumed day close would be at 10pm so 9 is making it way more challenging to get caught up on several pages and place a level headed vote.

I think they may be wolves but I don’t feel they are working an angle together if that is what you are asking.

Most of your reasons were unoriginal or not wolf-based reasonings in my opinion. I do think that with all the flip flopping your probably more likely village, but you could be a wolf trying to see what sticks. Right now I’m placing you in neutral. Genny is also in this pile, I wanna lean them wolf just based on the last few games, but there’s not a whole lot of sketchy evidence this game.

I’m feeling pretty good about AM just based on playstyle so far. AM has contributed a fair amount of content and asked quite a lot of questions. Moose I’m reading village, their quality of posts are really good so early on, and I feel like their play is aimed at wolf hunting so far.

Pippy, BC, and Sunni are on my wolf-lean pile. I stated reasoning earlier, but here’s a synopsis. Pippy- I did not like the bold declare regarding the possible avoidance role(s), it makes me feel like she’s fishing for info or conformation. BC - mainly just a feeling, but also because I feel like she hasn’t contributed her usual amount of analysis In any read posts so far. Also, the low quality vote reasons pinged me. Sunni- Sunni’s playstyle seems a lot more relaxed and analytical this game, which makes me feel like they might be a wolf, because when they’ve been village they are a lot more flip-floppy about opinions and expressive in their post tones.

Everyone else is neutral. I have to go back and reread stuff before I decide.
 
He is currently my wolfiest vibe. I want to make sure I get a vote in now, but will change my vote if I am swayed otherwise.
