There Be Basics WW 2021

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I haven't even heard Sloth defend Sloth, to be honest.
True. The defense she (she, right?? sorry) gave was that she's pressuring herself too much and making mistakes along the way, which I can sympathize with, but I still never really got an answer to the questions I repeatedly asked.

Either sloth isn't a wolf, or wolves have given up on sloth and maybe hoping to ride the bus into next cycle, which then makes me wonder if I would rather see a sloth flip than an alley flip just for information gathering 🤔
 
If you were a wolf, hypothetically, what would you say here to defend Sloth? What would be your strategy?
I would probably somewhat argue noobiness because I think the only other game Sloth has played was the noob game and it's been a while. Also that this thread is a higher pressure environment with some vets and I can understand why she would be rushing to push out reads. And that it was D1 and since then I haven't heard anything since to make me concerned and then maybe we should go after someone who is also wolfy but has been so consistently through D1 as well as D2.

I want to see both :heckyeah: although a tie in a kaydubs game is a scary prospect
 
Catching up after work🙂
She said "definitely" so many times I wonder if it's a wolf subconscious make up for lies kinda thing.
is there a state that has definitely? every other word out of my mouth is "like" bc im california trash
I can see where you would have that feeling, however, I honestly got muddled in my own thoughts as I wrote the earlier response about Sloth. I thought it best to try and correct the post to reaffirm my position to avoid the potential for misinterpreting how I feel about Sloth. As I could not directly edit the post above it after already submitting it this was the best way I could think of still attaining the same end result. Please let me know if this response clarifies the above situation for you?
i don't like hoe overexplainy this feels (i say knowing i overexplain constantly)
I literally just found out AM and Dubz were killed so I’m pretty confused right now
GIRL
I am the most suspicious at this moment of Cray. Also slightly less suspicious of Shorty but still skeptical more based on gut feeling at this exact moment in time based on her previous posts. Would likely support a Cray vote if others share the same suspicion? I can't help but get the feeling from her posts that by, hesitating to vote sloth she seems more suspicious to me. I know this sounds like backward logic but I can't really find the right words at them moment to explain this better
I could be wrong but i dont think you've mentioned cray in your wolfreads before, what changed?
Something is rubbing me the wrong way with her posts. I will try my best to explain it after I get a bit of source material to try and show it.

This is really odd reasoning when you yourself are hesitating to vote sloth.
i had the same thought as shorty here
Wolfey slip?

🤔
Tbh i think that's just how she talks ?
as you are also still one of my highest suspects as well.
but WHYYYY
Again, as I already suspect you to be a dragon at this point. you are really not helping her case, unfortunately.
i think you're getting into dangerous territory here. if you read everything on the assumption that april is undoubtedly wolf, and assume everything she says is untrue, you might miss out on some really good logic or useful pointers. part of what makes this game not IMPOSSIBLE is using the hive mind to help point out things you would have missed
Omg this image is cracking me up

Dht.gif
that gif is how i feel literally every game i play
KD combine space, pirates, and dragons in this game
she combined alldem
Well, good thing there's a few hours until yeet closes for people to get caught up on posting minimums and such. There's only so much that the small handful of us who have been really active can talk about if everyone else stays really quiet :shrug:
don't worry im back to talk to myself again

I would really hope the wolves wouldn't bus two packmates in a row D1 and D2. That is just a setup for complete and utter wolf failure. Maybe, maybe I would understand if there was a sudden push that got out of their control, but they've had a LOT of time to start pushing other candidates and letting sloth fall to the wayside.

are you saying you dont think its likely sloth is wolf?
 
Interesting that you haven't gotten any impression of me this game other than being nice
I've had a total of like an hour and a half over this day cycle to read 7+ pages of posts, so don't have real strong feelings on anyone at the moment. Trying desperately to catch up and get some feelz so I can get a vote in in the next hour

Just want to point out that of my current potentially-wolfy reads, the only one to bus a packmate so far is Lainey.

To expand on this, my wolf reads/potentials at the moment are the following, acknowledging that there are likely more listed here than left in the game:

Sloth - voted Dubz
Ace - voted April
Alley - voted April
Lainey - voted genny
 
are you saying you dont think its likely sloth is wolf?
I'm conflicted. Judging from Sloth's content alone, I would say definitely wolfy. Judging from context, I'm worried. The other day I was putting sloth into my super wolfy list but since then (and there has been a lot of time), I've not seen any resistance and if the wolves are playing this way, they're doomed.

I may have missed things while catching up, but the main question I was being asked was why I voted dubz, which I answered earlier today
 
I have moved Lainey a little more toward neutral based on the unlikelihood of a double bus, but not substantial movement.
What about sloth? Do you think the last wolves are waiting to swoop in tonight and carry the vote off of sloth? Because that seems like way shakier of a strategy than trying to start a wagon for someone else early on.

Do you have any comments as to the changes in your reads list that April and I have both brought up previously?

that's an interesting point that reminds me of my main logic pitfall w yeeting zenge last game.
however, and a couple of people have pointed it out, the wolves may be a pretty nooby pack and without anyone helping them really. I think it's something to consider, but doesn't really take sloth off of the table.

I am not certain of the wolf strategy at this point, honestly. I mentioned somewhere upthread that I think this is a nooby pack based on the decision to kill AM when people were starting to question her a little bit, and with genny already out of the picture, I'm not sure if the pack at this point is kind of panicking/shutting down because they're flying pretty solo.

I'm not comfortable changing my vote based on sloth's content when I think that the wolf pack at this point is not maybe playing its strongest game.

Yeah I'm mostly thinking about Lainey and if alley votes for sloth late when it looks like she's doomed anyways (assuming sloth flips wolf)

But I realize that thought does negate basically two day cycles where they could've defended her
 
@Acehunter123

Last night there was a “Sloth is sus” sentiment bubbling up.

I asked Genny why she was trying to get the “Vis is Sus” train rolling again as a means of self prez, instead of the more effervescent “Sloth is sus” sentiment that was present at the time, and persistent now, to which she replied:

Given that Genny has now been confirmed wolf, how do you feel about Genny’s decision not to capitalize on the more prevalent Sloth sentiment, and what are your own readings of Sloth?

Nice nice catch. I wonder if genny would have telegraphed a packmate so clearly on thread, but it's very hard not to at least neutral read packmates sometimes.
This logic makes sense to me, so I'm curious to see a sloth flip ... and then look closer at Zenge and Cray if he's village, since they're my strongest village reads at the moment.

The Ace sus also makes sense to me
 
So I'm going to be honest, my personal life has been extremely crappy today. So much **** hit the fan today after my class and I have had no time to do my schoolwork, let alone get caught up on the 8 pages I'm behind on. I know I am quickly becoming the queen of excuses, but I have not had any time to get caught up on this thread and I have no idea what is going on. I know I will probably get a warning from Kaydubs for not enough posts today.

It's okay, take care of your priorities first! We won't hold it against you.
 
Thinking about Lainey and also realize there are quite a number of people I haven't thought about in depth yet.
I always find the first couple of days to be the hardest to get a read on anybody - there's a lot of people, a lot of jokes, and for many not enough content to get a good read on. It isn't until there are a solid cohort of deaths to anchor some things that I feel like I can start putting the pieces together

school 10000000% comes first and the people here understand that more than anyone. take care of yourself tonight, the game will be here tomorrow. 💕

As far as the over-explaning went on the earlier post I made. I was trying to remove the possibility of any confusion or misinterpretation of my response. Still waiting on clarification of Crays earlier response that was also questioned by Zenge and Shorty atm (unless I happened to miss it in the last page?)

Cray will probably be here soon, she wakes up around 2-4 pm fantasyland so she's probably in her morning routine still🙂
 
@Ms Procrastinator You're living up to your name...gonna join us?

My tinfoil is that MsP is wolfing and has been super active in wolf chat and is waiting until 20 minutes before yeet close to post her 10 posts while apologizing profusely that she forgot she had signed up :laugh:
 
This was your point on Ace and Sloth that stayed me temporarily from yeeting Sloth. Concerns me Ace is wolf and maybe Sloth innocent. Not sure.
If that is the case, why wouldn't Ace take the opportunity to yeet sloth so that he can get a villager yeeted relatively dirt-free?

That was my worry, I am afraid she may turn out to be one and we will never know unless she gets mod killed or starts a ton of posts in the next 1.5 hours-ish
 
Just answered this. Need to catch up and see where vote is now and how alley responded to pressure.
If it helps, the tally is currently:

sloth (5) - shorty, sunshine, pleasy, Lainey, Zenge;
alley (3) - Dina, crayola, sloth

EDIT: this is off by 1, sloth has 6 and I missed kras' vote initially, just adding this edit so I don't get corrected multiple times lol

@PhiloslothicalStudent who are you reading as wolfy at this point and why?

@Acehunter123 @alleycat03 @LaineyLou same question
I’m leaning Alley; but also want to give her the benefit of the doubt with what she just posted, yesterday (or whenever it was, I can’t find the post now, thanks to broken sdn), the tinfoil sunshine posted about cray has gotten me thinking about them as a possibility. I am also considering Lainey, but she really hasn’t posted much today so its hard to say.

Cray for the most part has been significantly contributing to wolf-hunting but a wolf would also do that to disguise themselves as village, but I also don’t think cray would have gone for AM or dubz on night 1? Makes me lean towards a newer wolf such as alley or Lainey, or maybe ace???

Ace is also another possibility, because considering the fact that I am village, they may be trying to take attention off of themselves similar to me last day cycle by staying off of the bandwagon and postponing their vote until closer to yeet close, although it didn’t work very well.
 
If that is the case, why wouldn't Ace take the opportunity to yeet sloth so that he can get a villager yeeted relatively dirt-free?
Is it really dirt free though? With all the suspicion when I flip village won’t the bandwagon be looked at more closely going forward?
