The Lion King WW Signups and Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah, exactly. I feel the same way. Sketchy, but enough people told me to let it go, so I did. Like Hmoo who was a villager.

The bolded part felt a little off to me. Kind of like "confirmed dead villager trusted Lyra so she's completely safe". I'd also just like to hear more from kata in general, so to add on the pressure

Lynch kata
 
We can discuss you, if you want, since your comments yesterday (while entertaining) did nothing to alleviate my earlier concerns about you posting increased fluff.

Although, this post is a step back in the right direction.

I was actually the only person to attempt any sort of discussion outside of MJ yesterday, the majority of you just jumped on the bandwagon. So this comment really ****ing pisses me off.
 
I still don't feel any better about Kara with these last few posts. Could lean toward Kata again since we didn't get all that much info from her yesterday, but I have her lower than Kara.

As far as chaos/neutral goes...it's always a possibility, but at this time I'm not sure it's a priority (unless something or idea has jumped out at someone?) We've only caught one wolf so far compared to losing a fair amount of villagers, not a lot of time to be thinking about that yet.

I still don't see anything unusual enough with cheat to make her lean wolfy in my mind, but eh, I could be wrong. I'm gonna take a look at Zen.
 
This. This is why. You only really post much when your name is mentioned.

Well DVMDream there's not much else to really say or go off of. There are only a few individuals that are actively posting and no one in my mind is acting suspicious. I find that whenever I seem to post something someone finds it suspicious and there goes all the lynching. I'm still being active. I'm reading what's going on but just because I'm not posting much doesn't mean I'm not playing. I watch what is going on. Come in before lynch make my decision and say why.

Anyone else you find suspicous or are you just commenting on my suspicious list?

Actually, posting an earlier lynch vote gets more information. It gives that person time to respond and you can observe their and everyone else's reaction to it.
 
I agree with this. My top 4 are Kata, WZ, Kara & pippy, with cheat being only slightly lower on the list, and I'm kind of neutral on trilt at the moment.

Are they? Or are you just agreeing to agree. I've yet to see an original suspicion list from you, you've just been agreeing on others'...

That was kind of in-general to everyone's picks/thoughts on this page. I started getting suspicious of Kara yesterday, Kata I think the day before, but right now that's about all I've got, so I need to take a look at more people (starting with Zen, since it seems a lot of people are having feels in that direction and I haven't gotten a read on her)

I will go back and re-read, because admittedly I was distracted for the latter part of yesterday, but I don't think it's remotely accurate to include me in this bunch considering that I had been pushing on him for at least 2 days.
 
But honestly, I don't think that my opinion would have changed even if I had been able to say more stuff yesterday -- MJ was ticking every single box for what I saw him do as a wolf in the vet clinic game, and reading through his comments yesterday didn't change my mind.

Actually, MJ's posts yesterday were very much villager MJ posts. But, the damage had already been done the previous day when he was posting very much like wolfy MJ.... so while by lynch closed I was more comfortable with MJ possibly being village, the damage had already been done and he was an egg that needed to be broken. Which is why I didn't really fight against the MJ lynch, but I did try to bring up someone else. Yesterday was a dead day with really no one interested in figuring anything out.

"You" was a general statement and not meaning you, individually. This is kind of an awkward response to that post. Defensive when it didn't need to be.
 
Top suspicions... katashark, cheat, WZ, pippy, trilt
I actually like some of this list with the exception of me :laugh: Still holding onto that feel for pippy and I'm not as confident in trilt as I feel like I usually am by this point in the game.
 
Dubz I've been having feelings I couldn't put a finger to and then last night with the MJ lynch they just went up.
What about the MJ lynch leads you to believe that wolfy me would have cared to push it?

- He was a vanillager
- He wasn't in any way a threat to me, in fact if I hadn't been pushing him there's a good chance I could have kept him on my side for a while
- He certainly wasn't calling anyone out enough to be a threat to any other wolf

Seriously, what benefit would I have gotten from doing that? It's likely he even would have gotten lynched without any input from me.

Lyra, VMH - fine with

3M, Jil, LOTF - uncertainty/slight sketch, due mostly to lack of read/flying under radar. Especially 3m.

Trilt, WZ, AM, Snowy, Pippy - i lean towards villagey, maybe slightly less so for AM and Trilt, but I'm not particularly suspicious of these thus far

Cheat I still personally read as noob/inexperienced play. Got nothing though :shrug:

Zen - I think she pinged my radar early in the game, but they were weak reasonings so I forgot about it. However, there have been things here and there that seem off, and that's why I'm interested in this suspicion around her. I found it weird and contradictory when she joined the MJ wagon last night saying this:

lynch MJ

His lynch reaction is extremely reminiscent of when he was a wolf, and I don't think his posted role template matches Sarafina (looks more like something for an animal than a named character).

Also, the fact that we've found no vanillagers, even among a wildebeest, makes me doubt that one exists, which makes me doubt MJ's original role template.
When she was the one who brought this up the day before:

:bang: at myself. Forgot that MJ talked about his role earlier in the game.



I can just maybe see a character as minor as Sarafina described that way, but my initial impression was that MJ wasn't a named character.

MJ, thoughts?

I also found it odd that she wasn't at all bothered with lyra's vanillager claim but was with MJ.

These kind of posts suss me out because of the whole "why would wolf me ever kill X?"
When I wolfed with Dy in the minecraft game she used that kind of excuse to good effect (chose to kill LIS I think it was, built cred by saying she "would've never killed him this early")
 
I also found it odd that she wasn't at all bothered with lyra's vanillager claim but was with MJ.
Whenever you brought that up to her yesterday, this was her response:
At risk of throwing subtlety out the window... Lyra called out a major character that wouldn't make sense as a vanillager. I don't believe her vanillager claim, but I believe her role given no one else has said anything, so I believe that she's lying for the right reasons.

MJ set the ground early for claiming a vanillager role, but between his response sounding wolfy and the fact that I'm now doubting vanillagers exist at all, I no longer trust the vanillager claim. Setting up the vanillager claim without outside pressure at start sounds like a wolf who started the game attempting to claim vanillager and is now stuck with it; Lyra sounds like someone trying to sound less important than she is. So, yes, I'm more OK with Lyra's claim than MJ's.
 
Are they? Or are you just agreeing to agree. I've yet to see an original suspicion list from you, you've just been agreeing on others'...
Well considering my list is not exactly the same as yours and cheat has been on my suspicion list from D1, I don't think this is entirely accurate.
 
Ok, re-read complete.

Working on my reads of people currently.
kara - her vote seems a bit random. i've never played with her, but some posts put me off.
zen - too good for me to ever trust her. lol. could go either way.
snowshoe - we seem to be agreeing a lot - like on the lyra thing, which throws me off. usually my thoughts don't align with someone that well, so could be trying to make me trust them.
MJ - I just thought was being regular ole MJ. To me, plays the same as either wolf/villager. could go either way for me. i believe the role though.
lotf - just seems super busy with a new baby
vmh and you - seem fine.
wz - feels off. nothing really to go off of though.
lyra - believe role, don't believe ability. i don't want to lynch her.
i really have nothing solid. just general feelings.
There was like nothing definitive about this post. I get the feeling of not having a lot of really solid opinions at certain points during the game, but the amount of hedging in this post is pretty sketch.
You've played with him way more times than I have. I guess I just always think MJ acts like that - villager or wolf. Lol. But I'm relying on memory and my memory is not that reliable.
Then we have more hedging --> more sketch.

I guess I don't entirely understand why having consistency in a role claim is more village than wolf (imo role consistency is kind of a neutral thing and doesn't lean someone one way or the other for me). It's easy for a wolf to toss out on thread that their role is minor, and also easy for them to pick a cover role early in the game and just roll with it. I was getting thrown by the Sarafina claim because she's just a very minor character and only had like one line in the whole movie.

I don't know if wildebeests are super minor. While there aren't any named wildebeests in the movies, I'm sure that everyone vividly recalls the scene in the movie where the wildebeests trample Mufasa to death
VMH is in my village camp because of posts like these -- she's doing analysis that is highly consistent with how she approaches things as a villager.

You can't really compare one person's village or wolf attitude to another. So the comparison to genny or AM means next to nothing.
MJ's behavior last night was consistent with MJ's wolf behavior. 100%. However, I can't 100% say that it is inconsistent with his village behavior...just that in recent memory that tone has happened when he's being lynched as a wolf. Will have to hunt down the last few times he was lynched as a villager.
So yeah had to go back to September to find the last time MJ was a villager. Oddly enough the last couple times he was village (Animorphs, Under the Sea, Magical, Minecraft, DRoP) he was never, as far as I can tell, in serious danger of being lynched. I can't find a single village game in the last year where he responded the way he did last night, whereas it has been his MO for several wolf games. Hell I can't even find the last time he was lynched as a villager.

The only conclusion I can come to is that we all have him figured out and he must be a wolf now.
That's why I was hoping to find a more recent village game but...
I've only got the data I've got. I concede that the reaction may just be the way you react in general to being lynched these days. Just no way to confirm that.
You know I still love you and I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time <3
With the exception of the bolded line, which was a bit weird in terms of phrasing, WZ has been reading mostly village to me. I suppose there's always a chance that she is doing the "research" thing again to seem village, but in the context of her "sorry if I'm wrong I <3 you anyways" comments around MJ, it just sounds like regular Dubz. Still slight village lean, even if she doesn't like it.

LYNCH MJ due to everything that has been said. Keeping the same mode as other games that he has been a wolf. And even though he was standing up for me last night his comment brought a lot of attention due to how it was worded
Ok, with Dubz, the statements about MJ being a wolf because he was adhering to his wolf MO rang true to me, because it was also completely consistent with my personal experience. But in contrast, you've now used other people's description of players' "typical behavior" multiple times in casting your lynch vote. If you are going back and re-reading other games on your own, then fine. But if you're just using "oh so-and-so said this person always plays like xyz, so I'm going to take their word for it," then that's lazy play and it's going to get you into trouble eventually.

I agree that MJ was uh, grumpy, for lack of a better word, last night. And he does do that as a wolf and I'm suspicious there but I want to discuss others too.....

Mostly kata.... so she doesn't post much, finally posts a bit today and she's almost defending MJ?? No other comments from her really. No other reads... I'd rather place pressure here... so

Lynch kata
Margaritas aside, this is what I was talking about when I said you were posting fluff. It sounded different from your regular approach.

Hmm, but you're ok with Lyra's vanillager claim? I haven't seen you call her out. Interesting
This is more consistent with your typical punchiness, as are your comments today, but I'm still wary of you because I don't underestimate you as a wolf, and there have been some things that have happened so far this game with the wolf kills that make me wonder if you are driving the bus.

Ok damn it, I'm making my freaking spreadsheet finally. Who claimed/was the wildebeasts? Cause that would be a suspicion for wolf for me.
(I am not on a freaking computer people. You will not often get the long ISO posts on individual players nor the full lists of where I place people on my leaning reads out of me because I don't have the time or patience to go through all that ish on my phone and I will forget people. So if you feel like I don't contribute enough because I don't play copycat with the new post style, even as I (as promised) slowly increase play and involvement, suck it up buttercup. I will still find the freaking wolves eventually and have a damned good time doing it, I will just continue to ignore the comments that whine about me not posting in the proper style.
I don't think anyone is expecting epic novels from every player (see my earlier comment about how that's come back to bite me) but it would be nice if you, like, at least knew who died.

I'm not liking the lack of participation from kata or LotF and could vote there next if they don't step things up and start providing some reads, but I want to crack the MJ egg first.
This was a weird comment since I didn't think you had been pushing on MJ very much at all. Now all of a sudden yesterday you wanted to crack an egg? Quick escalation there. You are still in this grey zone in my mind where I believe your role claim but I do not like your posts. Wolf lean.

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. Are you asking how I felt about MJ yesterday? Because I can't say I really remember. Initially I remember being unsure of his role claim until Zen quoted his post from earlier, then I believed it. When he posted about trusting my judgement, my first thought was "Boy, that comment there is gonna get you lynched!" because other people were expressing concern about me at the time. Then I couldn't decide if he was trying to pocket me or if he was really a wolf and hoping that when he got lynched as a wolf it would cast shade in my direction. If he's a wolf, I'm inclined to believe he was given a cover role and didn't make that up, it's also possible he is telling the truth. Those are my current feels disregarding WZ's current reads on him.
What is this post even saying? You didn't believe his role, but then you did, and then you thought he was a villager but then you thought he was a wolf, but actually you thought he was a villager, despite someone else thinking he was a wolf? What?

The above posts from the above people all came off weird to me when I was trying to read back through.

Lotf's post seemed to be calling MJ out that he needed to be playing more and felt forced in a sketchy way like some of her other posts that I've read...

Really that's the ONLY conclusion? idk this came off super sketch to me (though overall I would say that WZ hasn't read overly wolfy to me before this post)

I've been defending cheat early on because she seemed to be playing how she has tended to in the past. Now that she's made it farther than she has usually, though, I feel like random posts like this that are just agreeing with what everyone else has already said are making me feel less convinced of her villager status.

I cannot pin point something specific, but I should say that I'm starting to have feels for Kara...
3M still in solid village territory.

Sigh I know I should have.. I was playing it like a basic game when I should have been playing it more like a theme game (not that that probably makes sense to anyone but me) Anyways I'm back on track I hope. (Also I think I have a trend of unintentionally screwing kc over most games - sorry kc)

Okay Everyone: now I know this is mechanics, but what are your thoughts on conversions, chaos, neutral being in the game? And what do you think chaos would be if in game? The main characters seem pretty black and white so maybe a resource?
Snowy is now moving more village for me with comments like these over the past couple of days -- she's starting to sound like a frustrated version of her villager self who has been wrong as opposed to wolfy. Moved up to neutral in my list.

When I wolfed with Dy in the minecraft game she used that kind of excuse to good effect (chose to kill LIS I think it was, built cred by saying she "would've never killed him this early")

That's one reason I'm wary of dvmd, because she said exactly that about LIS earlier.
 
I think I got a twinge when she was like "WZ and I are on the same page!" a couple days ago but kind of ignored it at the time. Now I just get the feeling she's not quite playing like herself. We had talked about her meta beingn difficult to maintain as a villager or a wolf, so I'm hesitant to jump on her just for that (would be a little hypocritical of me) but it's still making me wary.

Are...are you saying it's somehow a bad thing not to have a blind spot towards him? I spent a good amount of time yesterday going through his posts from old games. Obviously it led me to the wrong conclusion but I would not call my vote "settling."
My quotation marks were purposefully included because I felt settling wasn't the word I wanted, but couldn't get the one I did. I need to take time and look back at some older games with you and him, but my impression - and what I was commenting on - is that you're often a little less willing to lynch him than you were yesterday/day before. It twinged me a little the day before, but if he'd ended up being a wolf obviously would give a different vibe than now that we know he was village.

Seriously, what benefit would I have gotten from doing that? It's likely he even would have gotten lynched without any input from me.
And I really don't like this argument. Any lynch of a villager is what wolves want. It is hard to lynch seers or protectors or whatnot; they reveal, the lynch dies off. Pushing a vanillager is way easier than any other and you know that.

Also - unless I'm mistaken (and I'm doing this quickly at lunch), you weren't the one to start the lynch, just added on. I'm not saying you were hard pushing it or anything. Your conversation around him just felt off to me, and I'd like to hear more from you because of that.

lynch WZ
I'm honestly all over the place this game as I'm mostly doing things from memory. It's more I trust Zen's speculation about the non-animal roles than how I feel about Zen
This is a weird comment.

Lynch kata
I really agree with this. Kinda in a catch-22 situation where I appreciate Kata stepping up and actually posting after the first day where she ghosted, but think responding like that is a little sketchy, too.
Well DVMDream there's not much else to really say or go off of. There are only a few individuals that are actively posting and no one in my mind is acting suspicious. I find that whenever I seem to post something someone finds it suspicious and there goes all the lynching. I'm still being active. I'm reading what's going on but just because I'm not posting much doesn't mean I'm not playing. I watch what is going on. Come in before lynch make my decision and say why.
You cannot bitch about people not posting when you went like 24 hours without a post early in the game. Jeez.
Actually, MJ's posts yesterday were very much villager MJ posts. But, the damage had already been done the previous day when he was posting very much like wolfy MJ.... so while by lynch closed I was more comfortable with MJ possibly being village, the damage had already been done and he was an egg that needed to be broken. Which is why I didn't really fight against the MJ lynch, but I did try to bring up someone else. Yesterday was a dead day with really no one interested in figuring anything out.
I hate Monday morning quarterbacking like this.

I'll give it to you that you swapped your vote, so obviously you felt that way yesterday, but c'mon. It wasn't like it was a huge huge pile on for MJ. People slowllyyy talked, other names were thrown out early, but I think many people felt the way you did; that we needed an answer on him.

These kind of posts suss me out because of the whole "why would wolf me ever kill X?"

Yeah well I had a legitimate reason as do a lot of people. At least I got my lynch in unlike some other players who also had legitimate reasons. And I've been posting more. And I'm not really a fan of being a bully and using profanity so LYNCH TRILT until I manage to get a solid reason on someone
 
Ugh Deva is starting to sound less sketchy, but I'm still stuck on her fluff posts in the beginning game. Her reads are similar to other people's and while they could just be using other people's reads to sound village, I also can easily see them as her own reads. Am I tunneling here is the question? :yeahright:

I feel like if deva is a wolf, then I'd look closer at lotf and dvmd, but if zen is a wolf, deva and dvmd would become much more village reads.

Go pay attention to yesterday, there was very little talk. Very little, especially at lynch end. And, I didn't switch my vote, I never voted MJ. I'm also not Monday morning quarterbacking, I'm honestly explaining how I felt while recognizing that MJ was an egg that needed to be answered due to his posting the previous day. He was seeming incredibly wolfy on... Wednesday and less so yesterday, but still that needs an egg cracking. That isn't a Monday morning quarterback...that is real analysis.

If you don't actually feel on Trilt, I wouldn't vote for her. I don't really see any bullying either.

This is why you are suspicious. You only comment when others comment to you or bring up your name. And angry/retalitory lynching looks wolfy.

I was actually starting to get suspicious of deva earlier when she basically commented on my reads and didn't post her own. Hence, my nudging post for her reads.

I also made a similar post to jilary and she's now higher on my suspicion list because she didn't really respond with reasons/her own list.
 
Still a long while yet till lynch closes so I can change it. Didn't like the profanity.

Tbh this is a really dumb reason for a lynch. Unless you think wolves swear more then villagers 😛 Even if you are a noob, ya gotta lynch someone you think is wolfy and have a reason for it. Killing people because you don't like them gets you nowhere except on the wolves favourite villager list.
 
These kind of posts suss me out because of the whole "why would wolf me ever kill X?"
When I wolfed with Dy in the minecraft game she used that kind of excuse to good effect (chose to kill LIS I think it was, built cred by saying she "would've never killed him this early")
It's not the same thing. In that case, killing LIS directly benefited her (she could make the argument that she wouldn't do that so early) without any real drawback. In my case, lynching MJ does not make me look good. On the whole it makes me look bad. I'm not going to intentionally put an effort into a bad lynch, especially one that yes, is a bit out of character for me, just so I can have this argument the next day. I typically don't try to set myself up for more work. Very easy and much more in character for me to stay off a bad MJ lynch if I knew he was village. That's what I'm getting at.
I suppose there's always a chance that she is doing the "research" thing again to seem village
Didn't you think I was faking the "research" thing in the period game? You know, the one where I was village? 😛 Anyways it's not that I don't like that you're reading me (soft) village, it's just that I feel weird about people agreeing with me.
But then thinking back to the basics game I think we were on the same (wrong) wavelength a fair bit towards the end there before I died, so I'm more ok with it now. Especially after your posts today.
You are still in this grey zone in my mind where I believe your role claim but I do not like your posts. Wolf lean.
I feel the same way about lyra and it's probably going to bug me all game.
My quotation marks were purposefully included because I felt settling wasn't the word I wanted, but couldn't get the one I did. I need to take time and look back at some older games with you and him, but my impression - and what I was commenting on - is that you're often a little less willing to lynch him than you were yesterday/day before. It twinged me a little the day before, but if he'd ended up being a wolf obviously would give a different vibe than now that we know he was village.
And I really don't like this argument. Any lynch of a villager is what wolves want. It is hard to lynch seers or protectors or whatnot; they reveal, the lynch dies off. Pushing a vanillager is way easier than any other and you know that.

Also - unless I'm mistaken (and I'm doing this quickly at lunch), you weren't the one to start the lynch, just added on. I'm not saying you were hard pushing it or anything. Your conversation around him just felt off to me, and I'd like to hear more from you because of that.

lynch WZ

See above response to Deva. I don't really know what other explanation you want from me. Yup, power roles are hard to lynch, but everything I said in that post was meant to be taken in the particular context that it was MJ we were talking about, not any random vanillager. I just don't understand why you think that I would want to position myself as pushing a bad village lynch on someone who I am known for being hesitant to lynch. And yeah, I did push it. I still think he probably would have gotten lynched without my vote, but maybe not as easily without my going back and confirming that his meta supported how a couple of us were feeling about his grumpy posts. Several people jumped on that and used it for their reasoning.
 
Out with family today. Quick responses -
If people have been getting items as Pippy said they maybe might be, could we have some discussion on those items and how they've been used? I'm kind of doubting their existence when it's day 5 and I haven't seen them mentioned at all, and there's no reason to keep item usage under wraps.
I had a PM item yesterday that let me set up a PM with a player of my choice. Used it with Pippy, and that PM is still active today. We really haven't discussed much - I picked Pippy because she discussed items earlier, and because I haven't been paying enough attention to get good villager reads.

If Zen is right about the non-animal roles being Elephant Graveyard, Pride Rock, and The Water Hole and there aren't anymore non-animal roles, then I don't think Pride Rock would be chaos or neutral
Please don't use this. I was guessing what other roles existed. If you remember with that post, I thought that Elephant Graveyard would be a wolf, which wasn't true.

Actually, Elephant Graveyard is the only mechanic guess I've had that was right so far. No on conversion-based game, no on "older" roles happening when the younger role had lived a few turns, no on lack of LK2 characters, no on everyone having an ability...

Nice catch with zen!

@Zensing this requires an explanation.
I thought that while MJ's role description did not explicitly contradict Sarafina, it did sound more like an unnamed animal ("wildebeest", for example) and not a named character. The hedging in the first post was me acknowledging that it wasn't diehard evidence. The tag was because I wanted MJ to answer about the disconnect.

If you think my first post was in support or in MJ's defense, you're misreading.

Yup, was ranting and raving about it in dead chat for days 😉 But despite your self-deprecation, you're smart enough and experienced enough to be able to read something like that and then purposefully do it as a wolf to build up village cred. I have seen you build up village cred before, and it is very slick. So I'm just saying it's not something that would surprise me, but in the context of your overall tone in your other posts, I'm inclined to think you are just continuing on your new nerdy village librarian kick.

Heh. It's not new. I love looking at old games while I'm playing, even if it isn't always useful. And I have done it as a wolf before too. So you're right not to lean on that alone for your read.
 
First of all, reading through it's really confusing having Kata and Kara in the same game. :laugh:

Well DVMDream there's not much else to really say or go off of. There are only a few individuals that are actively posting and no one in my mind is acting suspicious. I find that whenever I seem to post something someone finds it suspicious and there goes all the lynching. I'm still being active. I'm reading what's going on but just because I'm not posting much doesn't mean I'm not playing. I watch what is going on. Come in before lynch make my decision and say why.
I'm not a fan of people saying "I don't know, no one really seems sketchy to me", especially at this point in the game, it's lazy. I know you haven't lived this long in a game before, but look over people's posts more carefully for inconsistencies and things that sound off, question people, do whatever you need to do to form reads on people. Even if you're wrong, putting an opinion out there is better than just saying "I don't know" and blaming other people not posting enough.

This was a weird comment since I didn't think you had been pushing on MJ very much at all. Now all of a sudden yesterday you wanted to crack an egg? Quick escalation there.
I was suspicious of him starting night before last when his posting style changed, and had a little back and forth with him then. Quick escalation maybe, since I'd been reading him as neutral to week village before, but it was also a quick change in his posting style.

Yeah well I had a legitimate reason as do a lot of people. At least I got my lynch in unlike some other players who also had legitimate reasons. And I've been posting more. And I'm not really a fan of being a bully and using profanity so LYNCH TRILT until I manage to get a solid reason on someone
🙄 I agree that this is a really lazy, retaliatory reason to vote for someone.

Lynch Jilary
Maybe I missed something, but what's your reasoning here? I don't remember you expressing suspicions for her before.

I could go for either cheat or kata today, cheat's posts lately seem like really lazy play, could just be poor noob play but it's bugging me. Kata has still been very in and out, posted some reads yesterday but with lots of hedging, and the "self-preservation" vote for MJ came quite a while before lynch close.
 
That's one reason I'm wary of dvmd, because she said exactly that about LIS earlier.
Yessss, I remembered that someone else had briefly used that line earlier in the game but had forgotten who! It stood out to me when it happened (that argument always does, ever since the minecraft game), but since then DVMD has posted more and I haven't seen anything else that seems fishy so I haven't been particularly worried about her (guess I'd put her in that camp with AM/trilt/pippy etc.)

I mean, "would never kill X/do such-and-such as a wolf" could in many cases be an honest statement, it's just something way easy for a wolf to hide behind to build cred, so it always worries me.
 
Out with my son and mom.

Lynch Pippy

Though I'd be ok with any of my top suspicions. Pippy is reminding me of someone feigning being busy to explain why they are posting differently.

And I did give my own list, just not a long post with my reasons because I've only had a few 10 min breaks throughout the day.

Interested in zen's explanation for her MJ vote yesterday too.

Wait, you are lynching me for explaining that I wasn't posting much yesterday because I was busy, and right below it, you're explaining that you're not posting much today because you're busy?

My vote is staying where it is.
 
Okay when I get home from work I will look over things more thoroughly, but I don't know if I'm happy with pippy's response but she's not ringing enough wolfy bells yet for me to want to lynch her.

Unlynch pippy

Lynch Deva
 
Idk I haven't been really suspicious of Jil. She has seemed to be posting like herself, but will also relook at that later - this pippy/Jil interaction is weird.

I'm back and forth with Pippy, trilt, dvmd, and Kara. I like playing with them and they are good villagers and sneaky wolves. I want to say they are all village, but I bet at least one is a wolf and if I stay alive much longer will probably be able to trick me so pretty wary there, but not really wanting to lynch them without something more solid.

Wz is definitely seeming like her village self from last game now.

I think lotf is setting my wolf feels off way more then kata is. And deva is just subtly agreeing with everyone it seems - but I may be tunneling her.

AM and Lyra go back and forth with how I feel about them, but they are typical sketch village. I'll take Lyras reveal and she does seem to be playing a bit different then last game where she was a wolf. AM is tunneling on Lyra which reminds me of last game (she was village).

Zen I'm not convinced either way. Anybody know if Zen typically plays a quieter village? But I'm not opposed to it because it will give me better feels for other people.

Cheats weird vote felt like noob. I don't know if the other wolves would want her posting some of the things she has. Plus the lupin pressing of her D1.
 
I'd like to hear more from @vetmedhead

Read through SAR's role description in the night write up, consider that I vouched for her hard a few days ago, and you should figure out my role.

[I protected] vmh again
Can confirm I was protected again. For what it's worth you should look at protecting other players, I'm not a particularly important one to protect.
