The WWalking Dead-Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I played rehab. Wolves have out drugs in rehab to get players addicted. Would make sense if wolves were zombies in this game and had to bite enough people to get a zombie army. In rehab, we had to have everyone dead or addicted, so I could see a similar mechanism here.

I'm leaning towards the zombies are third party team.. If so, this would seem like a very wolfy comment. Wanting people to go after the zombies and not the wolves.

Last thoughts/questions for now:

N1 = 1 infected
N2 = 2 infected

Seems like some additive effect here

I'm clarifying with mods if i actually shot at someone, but whoever took the shot sounds village, unless we think a wall guard would be a baddie.

Wait, so you don't know if you shot anyone or not last night?

If that's the case then shouldn't we ask for medication for the infected? Anyone want to give us that?

Maybe the infected people have to ask for it? In that case, mods, I would love some medication.
 
In the show is there a healing item for when someone is infected? Is that a thing? (shoot I know it will give away spoilers, but don't really mind)
No, if someone gets bitten in the stomach, they are toast. If they get bitten on a hand, you can try amputation, but that doesn’t always work either.
 
I like mechanics also. It just stresses me out when it's used as the main tool for wolf hunting rather than an assist. Always screws the game over.

Well in rehab we didn't even think about other mechanics and thats why village lost the game. So I feel like a mechanics discussion is actually useful.
Here ya go :biglove:

Ohhhh you meant AMMO.

Can we please not ALL arm ourselves, that just makes NKA so much harder.

*Cue gun control debate now*

*everyone shoots someone tonight* *game ends very quickly because everyone is shot dead within a couple days*

Pretty sure he was lynched the very next day. It was buying him cred... until Dy was assassinated.

Actually since dy flipped wolf, we gave mel a lot of village cred for that conversation. Thats why even though I analyze conversations between people, I don't trust it much to read whether its a vil-vil, vil-wolf, or wolf-wolf interaction. The fact mel gave us a wolf yesterday is completely different kind of village cred. He did it at the expense of another wolf if he's a wolf. Unlikely because it's better to keep all the wolves alive for as long as possible in these games.

Oh I have an arrow again. Ask and ye shall receive is apparently the rule now.

So we should just ask for village to win? :whistle:

This is interesting to me. The day allie gets lynched, paws happens to mention the governor? Even though we've been told roles don't matter? Feels like wolf being "helpful" by giving out a little bit of true info. One of my favorite tactics.

Interesting. Paws is now on my sketch list as well.
 
I am less worried given that she had to check with mods whether she had shot Mel.

I do kind of worry what Mel was up to last night though. Unless it was wolves that shot at him. Because I don’t think the village gets to do that.

genny in cahoots with pips? (are they both finally wolves together 😱)

Wait so you don't think village shoots anyone to attack. So you don't think a villager shot mel. So you are suspicious of mel?

I was NOT offered such a choice. And I've been through what happened. IDK if this has to do with whoever/whatever medical attention I received or what but I've explained what happened ad nauseum and there was definitely no choices in the matter. And hang on, your choice was either to live or turn? What does that mean???

Hadn't gotten to the post where you talked about being healed when I wrote that.

Why are you going after kc then?

Because third party is not village and it was the best lead I have.

No, if someone gets bitten in the stomach, they are toast. If they get bitten on a hand, you can try amputation, but that doesn’t always work either.

So do you think kc could be healed? Any idea of why I got a choice to live or turn when I was bitten?
 
Also, if this turns into a mechanics discussion game like Rehab, I'll become very salty.

but why?

(I will say I got a shout out that game for game-solving)

I was saying from the start that I was awfully skeptical of the drugs, and we all figured out just a bit late that lynching wolves while taking drugs was never gonna win for village

this game is clearly not straightforward, and if we don't figure it out I'm not sure more wolf-lynching luck is going to win it for us
 
Okay well if I want to hunt the wolves over the zombies:

unlynch kc
lynch genny

could also go with greeney

FYI, the Governor was the big bad for TWO seasons. I've only watched through part of 6 and there hadn't been any other bad guy like him. So yeah, I mentioned the main bad guy from 1/3 of the show's run that I've seen.

My point was we were told role did not matter for affiliation. So the fact he was a big bad on the show is irrelevant. But if you were a wolf you would know that role was one too, and that it might be going down soon (allie knew she was seered after all), so that post would make you look helpful.
 
Little bit o rereading. Forgot cray is also on the list of people who know the show well. Currently leaning village on her though.

I don't know that cray really answered this to my satisfaction.

I was seriously joking about zombies and a new world order, despite sorta wondering what role they actually play in the game. It hasn't been made more clear to me in write ups and the events so far, except I feel confident that "zombies bad" isn't really the game-solve point of the game.

I am not a zombie, I am not a wolf. Although I do wonder with academic interest if there is a role that is called zombie, but as was said in the mod write up roles were RNG'd, and I HAAAATTTTEEEE villager code attempts with a passion, so in no way do I suggest that it matters if there is someone with the role of zombie beyond flavor.
 
Reads! Reads! Getchyur reads over here!

SOV: noooooooo clue
Mel: I'm torn here. His play yesterday seemed very... non-sketchy. Which is OOC for Mel. But he also helped us kill a wolf without really any prompting. However, I could totally see Mel bussing another wolf to gain village cred. Not everyone would do that, but Mel would imo.
Cray: Neutral read for me. Not as much talk as usual, but I still don't read that as wolfy based on previous games.
Pips: Slight feels. Some arguments have been wish-washy imo. And tunneling Mel isn't really helpful right now.
KC: Probably a zombie, but maybe still helping the village? Strong ????????? feels.
AM: Slight village lean. Playing more like village AM imo.
StayPaws: Neutral. Nothing has set off alarm bells for me here.
Snowy: I'm **** at reading snowy. No help here.
Sporty: Also **** at reading Sporty. Seems to be more involved in this game than others. Noting for later. Slight feels here.
Greeney: Beats me
SkimJil: Biggest feels so far as noted. D1 play seemed the most odd to me. Nothing since then has been catching my eye,
genny: Giving genny a pass for now bc she's wolfed a ton recently. But still keeping an eye on.
WZ: Neutral. Never played with Dubz as an actual player, so reading her is not going to be easy for me.
dpmd: :shrug:

TLDR version: jboo feels iffy about everyone.

Channeling Cray, jboo?
 
Third question is a leap too far. You missed the most obvious jump, which is that wolves shot at mel. Why would you skip that, I wonder?

Well I thought that was implied. But maybe I just read your quote wrong, because you said "I wonder what mel was up to?" which sounded like you thought he did something sketchy. If you thought he had been shot by a wolf I would have expected you to say "I wonder what happened to mel?"
 
Pips said she got one yesterday, but I was asking if anyone got anything today. Haven't heard from her or Skimble on that yet.
Dude I posted all morning about that. I got a bullet yesterday (last night? idk.) when I asked for it.

I clarified with mods that I did not use said shot as an automatic defense for an attack. I still have the bullet.

@SnowshoeDog143 this should answer your question, too. I didn't know if I had used the shot; I just knew I had a bullet and that it is used to protect myself in case of an attack. Sooooo there's the whole reasoning behind my vote for Mel.

Which I have since rescinded, btw. So everyone who still says I'm tunneling is apparently not looking at actual votes.

It’s mel. He’s up to something, even when getting shot at by wolves.
 
but why?

(I will say I got a shout out that game for game-solving)

I was saying from the start that I was awfully skeptical of the drugs, and we all figured out just a bit late that lynching wolves while taking drugs was never gonna win for village

I do think it's straightforward. Straight up the village could've won that game even with all the drug taking. I solved it without even really playing.

wait until you get to season 7 and 8

Jeffery Dean Morgan is the freaking MAN.


Mel was doing diddly squat last night.

We need info. Can we please lynch KC so we know what to do if one or both of Snowy and AM don't get "cured" or if there is no cure?
 
You have to remember i don't play in pre vet often. I am trying to process how the game might be set up (and therefore who we need to lynch and what might just be a distractor) along with sorting out your insider nicknames and terminology (it took me until today to realize you guys were referring to results write ups as the flip and i am still not all all sure what trying to pocket someone means). So right now I can convince myself you are all wolfy (although with the writeup now referring to allie as an original I am having more trouble sorting out a reason why mel as a wolf would have led the charge on her lynch, it isn't like there was any strong suspicion against her to justify bussing her and the way he did it didn't really eliminate suspicion on him so it doesn't seem like a wise move and it sounds like he tends to be a crafty wolf)
Ok, but you do play somewhat frequently in the lounge, where mechanics are often even weirder than here. So that has rendered you incapable of doing post analysis? It's not like there's a lack of material here at this point.

I'm still a little...eh about the idea that pip asked for bullets, got bullets, cheez was shot at, but it wasn't her. Seems like a whole lot of coincidence.
And this seems like a nice little way to gently drum up some sketch to see if it takes off. Why are you ignoring the possibility that Allie asking for bullets could have, you know, gotten the WOLVES some bullets? Who could have then, like shot at someone who seered one of their little woof frands? Seriously, why ignore that option?

What in the write-ups makes you think allie was a convert? And you think jil is a convert too? Seems like you are making a lot of assumptions... And I think the chances mel is a wolf that gave us a fellow wolf D2 is low (higher for him then others, but still low).
No one ever reads my posts. I think I should just pack it in & go home.

Really tinfoily tinfoil hat theory: pips and mel are in cahoots and all this back and forth is staged.
I would be better at it if that was what was happening, and you know it.

My point was we were told role did not matter for affiliation. So the fact he was a big bad on the show is irrelevant. But if you were a wolf you would know that role was one too, and that it might be going down soon (allie knew she was seered after all), so that post would make you look helpful.
So, I know the intro post SAYS that. But actual evidence of roles we have seen (and my own role) suggests mods might not be entirely truthful on that front.

TLDR version: jboo feels iffy about everyone.
Meant to quote @johnnaboo 's post. I love you jboo but reads in spoiler tags = obnoxious.

I do think it's straightforward. Straight up the village could've won that game even with all the drug taking. I solved it without even really playing.
Well, that is nice. You were in dead chat, so congratulations for effectively using pooled resources to game solve.

These are less like reads and more like "meh, idk" on all but...2? 3? People. Fine not to really have feels one way or the other but this kind of reeks of trying to look like doing village work without actually getting anything done.
 
Well, that is nice. You were in dead chat, so congratulations for effectively using pooled resources to game solve.

I had already locked in on my reads before the chat was formed and still didn't understand what mechanics were being discussed in there. So, I'm still opposed to all this mechanic stuff going on right now.

I'm not ignoring it. If I was ignoring it I would be voting for you.
 
To be fair to Jboo, I started that little habit of huge read lists in spoiler boxes. The only real justification is that people say often they skim my posts anyway, in the case of a spoiler button in my case it might even be *more* likely to be read. I often tag people in mine as well.

So, maybe only do that if you're "special" (uh hated?) like me. J/k

I'm not so sure why every time something like this happens people jump to assuming the mods are directly lying to the players. That...isn't really a thing.
 
It looks like burying. Which begs the question of why you don't want people to look closely at your opinions on other players.
And to answer your question, I don't not want others to look closely at my opinions. I'm adding to the discussion. Which has largely been lacking due to trying to figure out game mechanics. (ETA: I also never claimed to be good at reads. Because I'm not but in previous games people asked me to do them.)

Also, you've gotten very salty all of a sudden with that last big post. I don't know if I've ever played with SaltyPips.

Deal with it. I don't have a problem with mechanics discussion as long as it is accompanied by wolf hunting, which has been happening this game.
Also, it is actually a lot easier to game solve with an entirely outside perspective sometimes. You don't have confusing background misdirection to sift through. See: me in the Whisk game.

Roll Call: @Crayola227 @greeneyegal92 @dpmd
 
Do you think dpmd would open with a bus?
I honestly have no idea, and have not had time to look back at vote patterns. I do not think it is unusual for wolves to vote for other wolves on D1, if that is what you are asking.

I am going off of my memory of posts, and what I am remembering off the top of my head is that she has posted more about mechanics and nicknames than actually wolf hunting -- at least today.
 
What do you make of the whole "trying to leave the compound" (or whatever it was) in the writeup?
Mod flair for story telling because I did fack-all last night.

I do not like Jboo's reads, especially the one on Sporty. They feel manufactured and way to hedgey to be helpful or real. But I still want KC lynched to crack that egg before we potentially accumulate too many zombies.

Actually makes me less likely to read them. Spoiler means I can skip right over it. If it's out in the open I'll probably catch some of it in the skim 😉

Disagree with the entirety of everything here

Well, except maybe you haven't played with salty pip, in which case...have you played with pip at all??

Sometimes I get a bit short when I am trying to be efficient. And I admittedly get mildly annoyed when I feel like I've explained the same thing multiple times.
 
Btw...this game has lynch closes too late for this old man....if I need to check in, someone who has my cell phone better call me and wake me up....not kidding.

Freaking kitty wakes us up at 5am and dogs at 6am...my staying up late days are over.
I can do this if you’d like but I am also often asleep before night close but up at 3am :lame:
 
Ok, but you do play somewhat frequently in the lounge, where mechanics are often even weirder than here. So that has rendered you incapable of doing post analysis? It's not like there's a lack of material here at this point.
I mean, I don't know what it is you think I have done in other games. I pretty much just comment on stuff people post if they ask questions I think I can answer or if what they say makes no sense to me. That is what I have been doing here. Can't help if you don't think it is enough.
