Also, Dubz is often a crazy mix of uber confident and also a nervous wreck

This is also me irl
Though much more quiet

 

[supershorty]

I'm kind of tired of trying to have conversations with people who think I'm a murderer

Interesting comment in this game.

Interesting comment in this game.

Key point is that people think I am, but I'm not.

 

[Aprilthearab]

I thought he did clarify. But I suppose your argument for that is that he's unfamiliar with your internet tone.

Kind of, but he didn't specify anything I said that made him feel weird besides general tone things.

 

[WildZoo]

Key point is that people think I am, but I'm not.

The best way to combat that is to just agree with them. Then they really won't know what to do.

"You killed my cat!"

"Yes, I did, because I am an evil supervillain."

i had a a very vocal shih tzu patient that I kept until 5PM after surgery today to give her extra fluids. pretty sure all the techs wanted to murder me by 1PM.

What does this mean?

What does Glinda mean??

we have too many people who have clearly never SCREAMED defying gravity going way over the speed limit
or done loathing with a friend at karaoke before
im so sad

Spoiler: go listen

 

[Crayola227]

so far, cray sounds fine, dubz sounds like she's excited about her role which makes me worry about 3P, and i'm wondering why kras and AM haven't had a fight yet.

I hope you're not trying to hint on the open thread what I think you're trying to hint, as a defense you're proactively deploying.

Genny has a wolfy sixth sense for PR hunting.

[Crayola227]

Some thoughts:

April's salt vote doesn't make sense to me - and it gives me a little twinge that she said that AM didn't occur to her, because in the last game, I brought up in dead chat that I thought her fixation on the AM/Lainey thing days after the fact was kind of odd given that both players were dead at that point. I'm not sure if I feel like it's super wolfy, but it doesn't feel quite genuine (that or her outrage about Lainey being killed was manufactured in the last game, but I'm not sure what she was trying to accomplish if that was the case, given that AM was also dead). I don't have strong reads at this point, but there are a few people who I have weak village reads on and April is not one of them at this point.

I'm willing to give ace, Lainey, and RoRo some benefit of the doubt as total noobs for now - RoRo has only made 2 posts on the board in total, so I believe the total noob thing. I don't have reads on them at all yet based on their posts.

kras and AM aren't fighting, which makes me wonder if they're the same affiliation or if kras just hasn't come back from teaching baby doctors how to do physicals.

You're too smart to give so much benefit of doubt. Feels like too much, like from April last game. Feels like you're trying to buddy up to your fellow noobs.

 

[Crayola227]

I thought he did clarify. But I suppose your argument for that is that he's unfamiliar with your internet tone.

It raises the question to Ace, or to April, how much have you interacted online or played online games together? You don't have to answer, but you're being judged whether you do or not.

 

[Zenge142]

Key point is that people think I am, but I'm not.

Technically the truth since no one's died yet. I don't like when people limbo under the "technically the truth line" but I'm a little more concerned about the wagon that's built up on April. I can see the arguments being made in favor of it though, but if April is village it's hard to imagine there isn't at least one wolf on the current "yeet April" list.

 

[Crayola227]

but i've been using it on SAR for years.... never have figured out how to read her.

Lol but you don't still call her a noob do you?

 

[genny]

"You killed my cat!"

"Yes, I did, because I am an evil supervillain."

i use this in money conversations all the time. "omg, that's so expensive!" "why yes, pets are expensive."

There was some truth to April saying I just want to live past D1, ngl 🤣 I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt in their early posts. I do wonder how much acehunter has interacted with April online.

Having them in treatment where you can hear them but they're not really in the way is one thing. But having a greyhound rest her head in your lap and scream into the phone every time it's picked up for eight hours straight was something else 🥴

Are you reading her village and do you have thoughts on anyone else?

 

[genny]

i'm still a noob, right?

 

[Crayola227]

Honestly, AM didn't occur to me. Not sure why it didn't pop into my head but I can't control that Might have something to do with spending all day with a whiny greyhound behind the reception desk who kept screaming every time I stopped petting her to pick up the phone. I'm kind of tired of trying to have conversations with people who think I'm a murderer

You picked a helluva game to play in your spare time.

Exactly zero. We met in college when we lived two dorm rooms down from each other and basically moved in together within months, and that was over three years ago. We only ever briefly text for minor communications and neither of us have social media (except for my forums that he has not been a part of up until now)

Online murder suspicion is fun. In real life is not lol

Thanks for reminding me, my hungry fish are looking pretty POed right about now, staring at me from across the room

in other news, April does not have social media to evade FBI surveillance which is...."unrelated" to these conversations she's having

 

[Zenge142]

I'm reading April neutral. I'm not reading anyone strongly as a wolf. But I'm also suspect of some people who have parked their votes outside of any consensus, and without much to back it. Specifically Dina on MSP and Sloth on Alley. Seems like an attempt to fly under the radar.

Mine have an automatic feeder so at least I don't have to worry about their wrath.

But now I'm looking around the room and neither the pup nor the two cats seem concerned about my tardiness. Doesn't help my motivation to get out of my comfy chair.

 

[LaineyLou]

She was not, she was a vig and thought you were a wolf.

Which, AM, I'd like to know why you thought so. I want to say it's relevant to this game for me to try to understand what goes on in that cryptic brain of yours. It doesn't seem like you to conclude a vote for you = they must be wolf, so I'm giving benefit of the doubt there was something more she did. I want to know because I'm trying to improve my reading of players early game and VCA.

Yeah i guess id like to know why she thought i was suspicious as well. That way i dont make the same mistakes and get killed off prematurely and without reason.

We have automatic feeders for the cats. They have pre-recorded messages that call them. "Weeeeeeble! Come get your FOOOD!!!" "Wobbles!!! Where's Wib-Wob?! Come here!!!"

Reading back through the thread to get reads on other people and my own post bothered/pinged me so just want to clarify - I am trying to be somewhat kind to noobs with their first posts, but this post makes it sound like I think I need to be nice to them to avoid being misyeeted on the first day again, and that's not what I meant. I just want to give them a chance to get their feet wet. If I get a wolfy vibe from any of them, I will vote accordingly.

I didn't think there was consensus on anyone yet. Are you seeing one I'm missing?

Missing: @Ms Procrastinator @vetschoolsletmeinplease @LaineyLou @Zenge142 @sunshinefl

Yeet/Vote closes at 10pm Eastern, TOMORROW, Saturday 2/6/2021 (~24 hours)

 

[Zenge142]

I didn't think there was consensus on anyone yet. Are you seeing one I'm missing?

By consensus, I actually meant multiple votes on one person. April has 4 and Vis has 2 by my tally.

I also left off Genny on you, Kras on Dubz, Roro on shorty, and shorty on Kras, because I didn't take them too seriously.

 

[supershorty]

I'm going to go ahead and unyeet kras for now because I don't actually have a wolf read on her at the moment

 

[WildZoo]

We have automatic feeders for the cats. They have pre-recorded messages that call them. "Weeeeeeble! Come get your FOOOD!!!" "Wobbles!!! Where's Wib-Wob?! Come here!!!"

I love this
Mine have RFID feeders so they can only access their own stuff but they each are on 1/2 wet 1/2 dry and wet food doesn't play nice with automatic feeders

I guess I could get the pup an auto one though

I'm tickled that you were pinged by your own post

 

[Aprilthearab]

Hey, not having social media got me hired on the spot for a job! My current boss likes to see what people post on social media before he interviews them. My interview started with "Well, I can't seem to find a trace of you online, and I'm not sure if I should find that concerning. But your credentials are legit. I like that, you seem focused." I didn't mention how all of that "focus" gets funneled into forums like this 😁

[Viscernable]

All moves are wolfy dubz moves as all moves are village dubz moves

I hear it causes real problems when people try to read me

This post worries me. I really don’t feel great about players being happy about being unreadable (from a metagame standpoint sure, but in the middle of a game as a villager you would be worried about making sure your fellow villagers can read you correctly). It also feels like a strange way to respond to suspicion if you were a villager. Just sounds kind of like “you can’t read me so don’t even bother being suspicious of anything sketchy I do this game”. What was that you were saying about pre-emptive defensiveness?

I mean I thought this was already confirmed and discussed because you mentioned I had taken a while to respond to your vote after reacting to it


I also went back to reread after people pointed out that both you and Cray had mentioned Vis and April had literally quoted the unbolded vote and told ace to bold it

Correction, dina lurking (or being in wolfchat with Ace) confirmed

Oh
Egg on my face then, I missed that April had quoted it
Carry on

I’m puzzled by this exchange. Wasn’t your concern about Dina based on her lurking and taking a while to reply after reacting? If she’s confirming here that she was lurking, why are you backtracking on that concern?

Why was this edited?

Can I get confirmation this is a noob?

If so, not loving naked vote from noob on April. Feels opportunistic in absence of reasoning. Wolf bussing? Or is Ace wolf and April villager? Considering.

I'm willing to give ace, Lainey, and RoRo some benefit of the doubt as total noobs for now - RoRo has only made 2 posts on the board in total, so I believe the total noob thing. I don't have reads on them at all yet based on their posts.

You're too smart to give so much benefit of doubt. Feels like too much, like from April last game. Feels like you're trying to buddy up to your fellow noobs.

Eh, I think Ace and RoRo’s posts were pretty innocuous. I am very suspicious of players leaning on playing up noobness after wolfing with shorty, but one comment about being new in their first post doesn’t cross that line in my eyes. Cray, reading your post calling out Ace’s post, I get the impression that what initially set off your weirdness sensor was a naked vote being edited plus not recognizing the player, and we now know that the edit was just because he was correcting formatting.

 

[Crayola227]

I've thrown so much shade it's hard to keep track. Let me know if I miss any major points I made on players.

Sloth - vote on alley "following" pinged my 'dar
Visc - overexplainy
WZ - called out visc, but could be wolfy
AM - called out April, that could be wolfy
April - "salt" vote reasoning was weak sauce
Dina - called out by Dubz for lurking, feels like Village Dubz there but ddx is Wolf Dubz tossing shade
Sunny - feels somewhere in the middle of last (and only) wolf meta and village meta (yes, not good use of the term meta but you gotta know a term before you get to abuse it)
Shorty - I called out for maybe buddying noobs a la April last game
Vetschools - not much substance yet, sketch with "helpful" tally earlier

Any shade I tossed that I forgot? I see I included shade tossed by others in my list. But I added my own commentary on what I made of said shade and shader

I'm home now, fed, showered, washed the cat and finally catching up.

OMG, I didn't realize that the M1s have literally never had a single in person clinical skills class before today... Lots of videos and zoom tutorials, but had not laid hands on another person before 😳
Some skills taught today, days to weeks before they take their head to toe exams:
- stethoscopes must actually be pressed to flesh to work, not lightly laid over clothes
- palpation requires pressure
- blood pressure cuff usage
- why you should cut your nails before trying to percuss
- much anatomy...
