Well that was amusing

 

[Barkley13]

Speak up, my son. You can share your thoughts on both if you'd like but, 99% of the time, it will be a yeet cycle.

Yeah I’m also assuming it’s a yeet cycle but not for any particular reason other than it not being specified that it’s not

 

[Clem J]

Are you saying I should vote for the first 5 players instead?

I just figured D1 is the only time its acceptable to ask a baby who to vote for.

Seems like your baby is telling you I'm town! Which makes sense, because I am town and babies are excellent judges of character

 

[Barkley13]

Which may be wrong thinking in this game but we’ll just have to see lol

 

[Clem J]

I can't vote for PSV, they're super helpful to village when they're on the good team, and it seems like we're all the good team.

Unvote @potentialsheltervet

[Clem J]

But I can't just target @Clem J because my play style doesn't align with them. That's unethical.

Unvote @Clem J
Vote @WildZoo
@supershorty @SARdoghandler @kaydubs

I see the bit you're doing and I approve a moderate amount

 

[Clem J]

It’s a little tired but I would consider a @Clem J vote. They’re completely unreadable to me, and I was more led astray by their reads than anything in supernatural. That said their reads were quiet but seemed strong in the Halloween game. If they’re gone I don’t have to constantly worry if I should be voting for Clem, but if they gets some power I know they’re a good player that may be able to use it wisely.

I got to the right answer smh

 

[Clem J]

shorty is being a b****

Why'd you pick the only one that wouldn't get censored tho

 

[Animal Midwife]

I feel like this game has set itself up to almost explicitly not be in the 99%. But fair enough, I probably was loud enough just now that I owe a little bit of my nascent thoughts on this game. V important caveat that I’m super n00b still…

If I were to offer a n00b counterpoint, it would probably be @apoptosis09 . I also generally struggle with reading them, and I think other players struggle as well. But clearly an asset in the last game wirh their reads. So they’re another person where I’m ok with either outcome.

Everyone else I have some other reason for not wanting to vote, some stronger than others. Largely based on the rules you outlined in the sign up thread plus some personal preference . If miraculously there is something that comes up stronger then vibes then I’ll look elsewhere, but these two would be my initial knee-jerk votes. Again, based on almost nothing, but we have to vote for someone

There you go. Now someone else may start ****posting or suggest another way to approach this first day conundrum

I'm not sure I following voting someone mayor who you can't read. And I also thought the "feels strongly" indicated that your suspicion would be based in something that happened already as opposed to general sentiment. Regardless, I'd rather you vote sooner than later so people have time to respond and react to the wagons.

And I also thought the "feels strongly" indicated that your suspicion would be based in something that happened already as opposed to general sentiment. Regardless, I'd rather you vote sooner than later so people have time to respond and react to the wagons.

I was asking if others felt strongly, because I do not 🙂 and like you, I’m assuming this is a yeet and not a mayor vote. I actually think if it isn’t a yeet, the vote might lend some other positive outcome for the person voted. But who knows, maybe this is tinfoil. What are your thoughts about what has already happened?

I’ll vote soon enough but I’d like to see a few more people check in. I don’t especially like to move my vote around multiple times and it’s possible someone else could have some insight that could help me vote. Regardless, I will be on a plane tonight during EOD, so folks will have my final vote well in advance.

 

[GoSpursGo]

I actually think if it isn’t a yeet, the vote might lend some other positive outcome for the person voted.

Just to expound slightly, again in my n=3 games I have observed, a mayor vote was clearly labeled as such, which this isn’t. There was also clearly some sort of conflict outlined in the write up prior to the first yeet vote, which is absent here. Finally, I could be wrong, but I would not be surprised if given the hype surrounding this game, the mods didn’t feel like offing someone on day one.

So for all these reasons, I would not be terribly surprised if we are voting on some unknowable third outcome for the person we are voting for. It could be a simple yeet, or something completely different. So since I don’t know what I’m voting for or even if it’s positive or negative, my first inclination is to vote for someone that I’ll never feel strongly about voting for.

Reading all this again, it sort of sounds like I’m still roleplaying chidi, and I promise I’m not anyways those are my first thoughts. Would love to hear what others are thinking. Apologies for any typos. I’m going back to sleep

 

[GoSpursGo]

Oh, semi shot in the dark—could the vote have to do with soulmates? I know the video (which was awesome!) was directly quoted from the show, but that’s about all we have to go on here. Maybe votes will affect who we are paired with for soulmate? We are currently at an even number of players so that could make sense.

yeah look at this, nobody listed as “leading” or “in danger,” though to be fair dubZ is bolded. I wonder if we are voting to influence soulmates.

Soulmates was basically the first thing that happens in show, so if it’s a part of this game I would expect that would happen now.

Ok brain. Turn off now.

lol I do not want to be voted, if that means we get yeeted.

Unvote GoSpursGo (sorry @supershorty @SARdoghandler @kaydubs for all the notifications)

Indeed, it does not help. I had that whole thing planned out in case I got dealt Chidi, but when we got encouraged to just play whatever role let me "have fun with it"... I decided to please my audience of one, which is myself Nevertheless, I am now here. Thank you all for humoring me 🙂

I do think some thought needs to be given to the fact that we have no idea what we are voting on. And little to go on other than vibes and memes.

I do actually have a short list I would be willing to vote for, regardless of whether this votes them out or gives them some incredible amount of power. But I'm curious if anyone else out there feels strongly.

hmmmmmmmm

 

[supershorty]

Why'd you pick the only one that wouldn't get censored tho

Wow, no one has ever actually read it closely enough to notice that! You get a gold star.

 

[supershorty]

I have never had a mayor vote where I didn't tell people it was that. Y'all are voting to yeet someone.

I don't list someone as leading on the tally when it's early and 2 votes vs everyone else having 1 lol

I’m still struggling to follow (noob alert) what is happening here but @apoptosis09 also set my vibe radar off… 👀

but also re: no wolves, doesn’t the show reveal that theyre actually in the bad place and not the good place?

Idk i need to watch this show hahaha

Apop is roleplaying Jason from the show in at least some of their posts 🙂 but also, apop in general has been challenging for me (and many others) to read early in games, and consequently often winds up being on the board. Ironically, I haven’t seen them actually flip W before.

I really don't know wtf to do here. And I see no one has taken me up on the voluntary self sacrifice option.

 

[GoSpursGo]

@WildZoo i didn’t say anything about how Chidi votes!

 

[WildZoo]

Vote sleep

On the one hand, this goes against my morals. On the other hand, I kind of want to see what happens at night before voting willy nilly when we have been told we're all village. Especially since we won't get a flip anyway so voting someone today gives us zero information.

I think this is logically sound probably.

 

[WildZoo]

Flips in this game will initially not contain that player's affiliation. There is an in-game trigger for when that information will be provided. Players who died prior to the trigger will retroactively have their affiliation revealed in the roster.

We're trying something new in The Good Place because it's paradise! There are no bad guys here! Village must work together to attain their individual wincons in order to win as a team!

Flips will not contain affiliation until the trigger point and yet there is the implication that everyone is the same affiliation so why would affiliation flips matter

 

[WildZoo]

To be fair I assume we would get a character (and maybe ability?) flip so we wouldn't get zero information but I'm just not sure that it is going to be all that useful

Also a cop out because I have no idea what to do under these circumstances.

If I were to vote someone it would probably be PSV because her comment of "How are people gonna die if there are no wolves" struck me as a little odd for someone who has played for so long but that's like, the weakest of twinges.

 

[supershorty]

I assume we would get a character (and maybe ability?) flip

Yes

 

[GoSpursGo]

To be fair I assume we would get a character (and maybe ability?) flip so we wouldn't get zero information but I'm just not sure that it is going to be all that useful

Even if we don’t get info immediately, we would get bonus info later when the affiliations are revealed… but I’m listening to what you’re saying. What do others think?

 

[WildZoo]

Even if we don’t get info immediately, we would get bonus info later when the affiliations are revealed… but I’m listening to what you’re saying. What do others think?

Yeah there will be information retrospectively at some point. Just feels like the approach here should be a bit different fro usual, to me. "work together to meet our wincons and win the game" does not feel like it aligns with "shoot blindly into the crowd and find out days later if that was a good idea"

 

[kaydubs]

We didn't explicitly say it isn't, so I'm gonna say yes, and if wine!SAR says no, then we'll fite over it.

Hmmm I have thoughts.

 

[supershorty]

"shoot blindly into the crowd and find out days later if that was a good idea"

This is making me laugh lolol

 

[kaydubs]

Ok brain. Turn off now.

Spurs, you ok??

 

[WildZoo]

Oh no KD is gonna take away my cop out strategy

 

[WildZoo]

The fact that this is the second time this year I've advocated to vote sleep is somewhat distasteful to my soul
