it's a joke reason
I really gotta go, I'll answer your interrogation later
Joke reasons (especially ones from previous games) go in the N/A pile

It doesn't have to be a good reason or a reason I agree with but some justification has to be given. All of the greens had no justification

Hm.

 

[WonderingStudent]

vote BigCats

joke vote is zzzz and all the enthusiasm along with it was weird, I don't think we've ever played together so I don't know what's typical for you though /shrug

When are joke votes not lazy?

Hmm not liking this vote, or the explanations when there was push back really. Strong player does not have to mean dangerous player. We typically like to keep Genny around a little bit

So are you saying genny's off limits?

 

[WonderingStudent]

@Sunshine in a Storm I don't think you've shown up yet. Don't be scared! We just got demogorgons, eggos and Dart

 

[WonderingStudent]

@itsrocky @sheltermed how do you feel about BCs more recent posts and genny's post about it?

Spoiler: Doesn't really have anything to do with the game

What is "/s"?
Multiple people have used /s and I’m just confused.

edit: Urban dictionary says it's the sarcasm switch

edit: found the answer to my "spoiler" question on urban dictionary. We're good 👍

@Sunbodi @Lawper what would you do if sunshine doesn't show up?

 

[sheltermed]

Shoot, I don't have any Christmas lights on me this time of year. Guess I can't answer your questions!

this makes me feel as though Pippy might be Will if she's implying she can't communicate without christmas lights. if that's the implication.

edit: or she;s someone else who's trapped in the upside down

 

[BigCats]

@WonderingStudent oh NOW you come in acting all normal 😛

Let’s maybe not speculate about roles if there’s some kind of punitive measure as suggested by the rules

I feel like what I said was merely strategizing but ok

I wasn't trying to get pippy to say "yes I am will"

I still don’t think it’s a good idea to speculate regardless- a lot of the possible roles are quite literally innocent children, and the game would be very very fast if we all just announced who we were and then picked off the weaker claims, so I can only assume there’s a multiple kill mechanism out there to punish role reveals in order to counteract that.

/s is used to denote implied sarcasm in a statement.

And my opinion is After lurking a wee bit is that I’m more open to moving around my vote following BC’s comments... I’m willing to retract my previous statement about joke votes always having some implied strategy.
I’m sure this will be read as wish washy and sketchy but I don’t have substantial evidence at this juncture to say I’m willing to vote for them so I’ll put my money where my mouth is and

unvote BC

I got steak and potatoes calling my name, I’ll be back in about 30 min!

I'm not in the upside down. There's a group for that.

 

[WonderingStudent]

@WonderingStudent oh NOW you come in acting all normal 😛

Spoiler: Sorry!

You go tell my parents that a family walk with our dog does not mean going on a million errands and not even ending up walking our dog Getting out of the house is one thing but I wanted to get more "Get ready for vet school" stuff done today and ended up doing that on my phone which isn't ideal Slowly but surely I'll get what I need done before classes start.

ya I realized that a bit after I said it lol

@Sunbodi @Lawper what would you do if sunshine doesn't show up?

Unvote them and vote someone else.

 

[PippyPony]

You, Genny, Pippy, Lawpy, Capri and everyone who hasn't voted yet (allie, BC, sunshine, sporty, kita, mutts)

Does my vote look like a joke vote?

Same question to you. Have your thoughts changed?

 

[WonderingStudent]

Vote Rocky
I don't think I've ever played with them, but I'm getting slight feels from their posts so far

Which posts are those?

@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

 

[muttmanager]

Yeah on that note,
@SportPonies

Anything worth noting about being in the Upside Down?

I dont believe it is note worthy at the moment

Well. I have no idea what it is, so if someone can explain, that would be cool.

This answer makes me feel comfortable with voting you

vote sporty

What's the 'welp' for?

 

[itsrocky]

What happened?

What's the 'welp' for?

An innocuous expression of committing to a decision based on the fact that the player in question put out a vote for me without explaining when prompted which I hadn’t realized previously.

 

[Kota1000]

Due to dartboards

Lawper has only offered up this evidence as to why they were voting Sunny storms. This to me is sketch, especially since they never elaborate on it.

Also, sorry for my absence work was crazy today! I will be catching the rest of the way up after dinner.

 

[BigCats]

vote mutts

Because I have to put a vote somewhere and her(?) tipping the sporty wagon into the lead without really explaining why feels opportunistic

 

[genny]

You mean Wondering as "the player in question"? And you're now voting with her for Snowy?

ETA: ignore this. Work brain was still turned on, thinking about cases and not WW. I can read and comprehend now.

 

[BigCats]

@Sunbodi @Lawper are y'all planning on staying with your votes for an absentee player? Or do you have other prospects in mind?

 

[Animal Midwife]

You think Sporty is village?

 

[BigCats]

Also @capri1722 I still would like to hear what you're thinking!

 

[itsrocky]

Oh no, snowy is my player in question. They voted me and when asked why, they didn’t answer.

sorry I haven’t played with most of you and don’t know your genders, hope u don’t mind me using neutral pronouns until I figure it out, lol

I don't think it's any more sketch to say it's an RNG vote than to sit on a joke vote without changing.

 

[Animal Midwife]

@PippyPony Why aren't you answering me?

 

[BigCats]

You think Sporty is village?

I think mutts' reasoning for voting her was weird and ~coincidentally~ tipped her into the lead, which is weird to me. I personally don't really get why she is/was in the lead anyway, so on a relative scale of villagery, Sporty would be closer to the village side than mutts is. But if I had to give a "village read", nah, not there yet.

Well, Snowy's in the lead now. How do you feel about her?

Has she even posted more than once? I have no clue. How do you feel about her since you're still on her vote from yesterday?

I'm not impressed with her vote. Just curious about your perspective since you said mutts putting Sporty in the lead is bad and Snowy was, and is still is, Sporty's counter at the moment.

I'm likely going to switch

 

[Kota1000]

I don't think it's any more sketch to say it's an RNG vote than to sit on a joke vote without changing.

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...

Oh no, snowy is my player in question. They voted me and when asked why, they didn’t answer.

sorry I haven’t played with most of you and don’t know your genders, hope u don’t mind me using neutral pronouns until I figure it out, lol

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.

@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

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

I haven't played with sunshine in a while so I'd like to put pressure on them to see their play style.

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.

Speaking of... there is definitely a death avoidance or 6 on the wolf side (unless D'art is chaos, in which case they're on the chaos side)

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?

Yeah on that note,
@SportPonies
@capri1722

@muttmanager

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

Neutral to wolfy. I don't have enough info but the info I have isn't looking great.

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.

 

[Kota1000]

Has she even posted more than once? I have no clue. How do you feel about her since you're still on her vote from yesterday?

I really don’t like the evading of questions that has been happening. Both BC and pippy did it, and I am going to lean them slight wolf for now.

 

[BigCats]

I'm not impressed with her vote. Just curious about your perspective since you said mutts putting Sporty in the lead is bad and Snowy was, and is still is, Sporty's counter at the moment.

Yep, I always think it's interesting who people go to when they start to consolidate the wagons. I can't really assume a mutts/Snowy pack quite yet, especially with no flips yet to give light one way or another, but seeing who people didn't vote is often illuminating later on.

 

[Kota1000]

Since it’s 30 minutes to close, Suni’s playing style is what pinged me the most, so I’m going to place my vote there.
Vote Suni

Lol I really have no idea how to read her based off of one post. There are a few people I feel comfortable tone reading after just a handful of posts, and she ain't one of them.
