That in combo with the repeated insistence that jboo must have a death avoidance and therefore it is pointless to vote her (despite that not being mechanically possible) is unsettling.

I'm voting for pippy now.

You think genny is an OG?

I'm worried they might've killed you since you carried us so please post who you think might be an og wolf 🙁

I have pippy down

I don’t think anyone was saying it was pointless. Jboo voting wondering knowing she wasnt a wolf, then voting for suni rather than voting off on a 3rd person - doesn’t clear suni imo

though if it is Pippy and Capri, I’ll cry

 

[Animal Midwife]

I'm voting for pippy now.

I have no idea. Just think she should be in the POE regardless.

Pippy was literally saying that. That was her argument why people should forget jboo and vote elsewhere. (Assuming she meant Suni.)

Suni is all but clear. You really need to do some VCA or you're going to cost the game (assuming you aren't just a ballsy convert).

 

[BigCats]

Lol Nancy would totally be a wolf if I were designing the game, she kinda sucks

but she was saying it to keep discussion going and having a counter wagon on a wolf read

okayyyyy, as if I could ever be a ballsy convert🤣

 

[Animal Midwife]

And she knows that's the key to wolves winning in volo. Pippy ain't a noob anymore. If I know better, she knows better.

 

[Animal Midwife]

She didn't even come on to celebrate jboo's yeet. Why? As a villager, wouldn't you be worried the game was ending and want to see what happens? Seem disproportionate to her concerns about us voting jboo throughout the day.

 

[genny]

Pippy should still be in the POE unless she exactly is nightkilled. Literally have never heard of that seer variant in my life.

You’ve never heard of a parity seer? I’m pretty sure we have had very similar roles in games in the past. I’m not even addressing whether Pippy is wolfy in this post, I’m just totally incredulous that you think it’s impossible for village to have a 1x parity seer.

This role she's describing isn't how parity seers work.

 

[Animal Midwife]

What bothers me most though, isn't even the description of her ability. It's her choice to intentionally holster N1. That's against the village's best interest if you have a role that powerful. It's more powerful than an affiliation seer by description.

 

[genny]

This role she's describing isn't how parity seers work.

You’re the mod that put double useless seers in a game just to prove that you can’t say “mods would never do something like that” and now you’re making that same argument.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Oh, they weren't useless. Seer dependency was. Deciding to blindly follow claims/mechanics over VCA/post analysis deserves a loss always. That's why I ran that game. Wolves got directedly rewarded for village misplays by being "cleared".

That game is why I'm saying screw the claims.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Your defense of Pippy is noted though.

Friday the 13'er.

 

[Animal Midwife]

Finally, if y'all truly "believe" her claim, don't forget TWO seers has already flipped. Why is there a third?

Night 4

An interesting guy. Popular. Basketball player (all around player if we're honest). And then he met Nancy Wheeler. Typical love story. Right? All we need is the house at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Well, lately, he had noticed Nancy seeming a little off ever since her friend, Barb, disappeared after a party. On his way back from stopping at the Wheeler house, he drove home. He walked into the house, but for some reason, the light wouldn't turn on. He tried the switch again. Nothing. Then next, a sharp pain to the head.

When he woke up, he found himself floating in a pool of...liquid? What. The. Hell. He could see lights, he could see blurry figures on the other side of the glass. He banged on the walls, he screamed. To no avail.

Dead is @Animal Midwife , who was Steve Harrington, a villager who could either protect OR attempt to block the demogorgon each night.

------

Elsewhere, Hopper had just left the coroner's office after discovering that Will's body was indeed a fake. He headed to Hawkins Lab with one intention - get answers. By whatever means necessary.

It is now Day 5. Deadline is 10pm EST.

Day 5 (MARVOLO: ) The Flea OR the Acrobat Yeet Vote

Pippy (1) - Sunbodi

1/7

Deadline at 10PM (~ 11 hours).

 

[BigCats]

Pertinent posts from Kota when she was under virtually no suspicion the first two days; will add in jboo pre-outing posts next.

Pippy hasn’t posted at all... how do you conclude that she’s not playing as village with no posts?

Directed towards Sunbodi about Pippy.

Any thoughts today?

Directed towards Moose.

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.

Wolf lean on Sunbodi.

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?

Directed to Pippy about mechanical speculation.

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.

Wolfish read on Moose talking about what we now know is a vil/chaos pairing (but which wolves would've thought was v/v).

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.

Wolf lean on me and Pippy.

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

Votes Sunbodi as a solo vote; I think the other wagons with multiple votes at the time were all village.

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.

Neutral read for genny. Village read for Moose now? Compare to a few posts up where she's shading Moose for being hedgy. Me, Pippy, and (I think this is Sunbodi and not Sunshine despite the double 'n's just based on her vote for Sunbodi earlier but idk) are wolf leans. Everyone else (at this point in time, the living people are capri and mutts) are neutral.

 

[BigCats]

Pertinent jboo quotes:

Very brief thoughts as I may have skimmed to catch up (dang, you guys talk a lot):

Already been pointed out, but big LOL here

MOOSE was reading rocky as wolf before this, yes? Seems funky.

I... I don’t know what to think of this mania

Sketch on Moose, ??? on Sunbodi lol.

Thinking on it right now. Knee jerk reaction that MOOSE is weirding me out. Will need to consult capri’s tally to cross reference with my ~feels~

@capri1722 you are da best, ty for this

More sketch on Moose.

No, that's not what I'm doing. I just know who is most likely responsible for genny being there today and wanted to see how people felt about it.

Here's where allie says she knows who moved genny, so any posts after this should be viewed in the light that jboo is probably already watching what she's saying.

So I’m not feeling super great about BC, Wondering, & MOOSE.
Less bad but still not great feelings about Pips & allieh.
That whole AM/sporty thing I’m reading as v/v, but I am notoriously awful at reading Sporty.

Bad feels about me and Moose. Mildly bad feels about Pippy.

Vote BC

Votes me. I already have a vote on me at this time.

Ah, so I see your tactics, in addition to going bananas at times, also involve copying people’s wording to sound legitimate. Neat.

Shade on Sunbodi.

Did you not see an earlier post where I said I wasn’t feeling great about allieh earlier?

The wording stuck out to me because I had JUST said something very similar. I don’t know your play style, so me pointing it out is more of a “is this a normal thing you do?” note than anything. Chill.

More shade on Sunbodi.

Pre that word vomit that seems to just be talking in circles, very little seemed to be coming her way since that shot. Something isn’t sitting right with me, plus I don’t like her voting record.

To Moose about why she's voting for me.

Not sure why you didn’t reveal that earlier. We’re already down 5 villagers and with no woofs dead so that would have been helpful...

About Pippy's claim.

This sounds fishy to me. And yet, I sort of believe it just based on tone. Wolf!pippy is notorious for throwing hissy fits. This feels more like... indignance. Eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh but I’m also awful at reading Pips.

Wavering on her read on Pippy. Fishy claim but okay tone, but maybe not.

This actually makes me believe her claim more, ironically. I wouldn’t put Pippy up there as someone who would so blatantly power wolf a random ability like that.

Defense of Pippy's claim.

Dude, I backed your ability claim because my role is a lil bonkers, too

To Pippy, this is after allie flipped watcher.

The following posts are from yesterday and should be taken with a million grains of salt since these are literally the words of an outed wolf:

AM- village so far
Sunbodi- idfk anymore, but leaning toward sketchy
Wonder- my biggest worry right now, given Pip’s seer info + my own feels and VCA
MOOSE- she’s moved more into “still sketchy but less sketchy than others” land
CaprI- pretty much my only solid village read
Pips- I believe her, so leaning village
genny- def could see her being a wolf, she’s a pro at it and has been laying low more. Kota was pretty skeeved out by her
muttmanager- neutral to village
BC- sketchy but not my hugest concern right now

Wonder, BC, genny, Sunbodi in that order

With the number of villagers dead right now and *ylo, I’d really hope for more conversation today other than how sketchy I am. We have SOLID evidence from Pippy of who‘s a wolf.

What makes allieh’s info more compelling than Pips though?

Pippy is my blind spot in these games by the way

^ this one is from 9:59 right before close lol

 

[BigCats]

The fact that neither of them so much as mentioned capri until jboo said capri was the strongest village read is mildly concerning tbh

 

[deleted804295]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[BigCats]

Anyway, I would love to know where everyone's heads are at today. Top two wolfreads and why, por favor.

 

[deleted804295]

Somebody did something to me last night because my ability was blocked

 

[BigCats]

How is it still *olo?? Ughhh maybe there are three wolves left. That would really suck.

 

[deleted804295]

You’ve never heard of a parity seer? I’m pretty sure we have had very similar roles in games in the past. I’m not even addressing whether Pippy is wolfy in this post, I’m just totally incredulous that you think it’s impossible for village to have a 1x parity seer.

Why are YOU defending a wolf right now???

 

[deleted804295]

If villagers don't vote as a block to get pippy out tonight you're literally costing the game.

Great analysis BC. I was on the fence about you before because mutts kept telling me in DMs that you were wolf but after this post I'm putting you in village lean.

 

[deleted804295]

Anyway, I would love to know where everyone's heads are at today. Top two wolfreads and why, por favor.

My top two wolf reads are in no order: pippy and genny

I am still neutral on capri. The way mutts has been throwing the game yesterday made me take them from my village pile to neutral pile. Possible wolf conversion.


BC I'm so scared since we're so close to endgame. And momma AM is dead. So I'm just going to cling to you for dear life since mutt is throwing the game if they are a villager.

 

[deleted804295]

@PippyPony I'd like for you to do a VCA on your top 2 wolf reads today as the rest of us have done so far.

 

[PippyPony]

Popping in on a short lunch break to say that y'all are welcome to vote me out today if I continue to be a distraction, because I don't know what else to say to defend myself if 3 days of it didn't convince anyone, and I'm on a very busy rotation this week.

I guess the only question I would ask that you ask yourselves first is how would I know that there was a "sinister" chaos in the mix of 3 players if I was a wolf and lying about my ability? And if I somehow knew, why wouldn't I vote her sooner? Wolves wouldn't want to leave a chaos around.

The answer is that I literally didn't know who was bad out of the group, just that there was something worth pursuing, and I misinterpreted "sinister" as "wolf." Which is just like... a mistake.

(On that note, though, I can't clear Sunbodi based solely on mechanics because I don't get told how many are bad in the group of 3. I've been flip flopping on her posts.)

Also, kota attacked me N1 and was trying to fish for info after I started talking about hypothetical abilities, buuuut I guess we're just gonna ignore all that.

Also, anyone who has seen all the rest of the main characters flip village and then is trying to argue that Nancy is the only protagonist who is a wolf... no. If anything, we should be looking for Will. There are too many real creepshows to need to use a good character as a wolf role, and she is too important to be wasted for a cover role.

So ideally, don't vote for me because we still need to find the rest of the wolves. ...But if you do still vote for me, then at least I'll get to gloat when I flip 😀

 

[PippyPony]

@PippyPony I'd like for you to do a VCA on your top 2 wolf reads today as the rest of us have done so far.

I think I will go do this surgery instead

 

[BigCats]

As a villager at this point in the game, you have to wonder a. why am I alive? and b. why did the other person die last night instead? Now, I'm sure AM would've been pretty doomed regardless because no one wants a strong leader around at *olo, but this takes me back to last game- if Pippy is a villager and the designated misvote to end the game today, why not let AM, who's been insisting on voting out Pippy today, stay alive so she can inadvertently push the last misvote? Maybe they think the Pippy vote will happen regardless of AM being there to push it or not, but for instance I was pretty resistant to it yesterday and if they wanted less resistance to the Pippy wagon, they could've tried to kill me instead. Killing AM just doesn't make sense if Pippy is the game-losing misvote.

 

[PippyPony]

Maybe AM killed herself after she realized she was solely using mechanics to decide affiliation

That's my running theory

 

[PippyPony]

^that is a joke

sort of

I'm about to side with the wolves anyways after 3 days of dealing with nonsense about how my role & ability are fake, so maybe they decided to do me a solid

I'll take a conversion tbh

Pippy plz I've already done the "clear people by role name" thing and it was a disaster. Plus that doesn't even exclude the possibility of conversion, which seems to have happened N2 according to the writeups, when you were dragged down N1. I'm afraid I need more than "But would NANCY be a wolf???????????" when

2. Role reveals are not likely to help you and may be actively harmful. Proceed at your own risk.

Gloat??? This is not how a villager talks when we are literally on volo

If you were a villager you would care and help us. You had time to write our this long post that says nothing so please write a VCA on your top wolf reads if you're trying to help village

[deleted804295]

Pippy might be a good misvote candidate.

This is why I asked AM post her other reads ie genny before mods posted she died.

Let's try voting for someone else right now and get Pippy later.

@capri1722 I'm curious to know why you haven't defended yourself yet when your name has been up in the air as a possible wolf for a couple of cycles now. I'm not saying I think you're a wolf but if you're not I'd like you to defend yourself.

 

[deleted804295]

@genny Could you post your top 2 wolf reads and VCA to go along with it?
