Mmmm. Noted.
Want to keep this Z/Dubz/genny interaction in mind.
I'm still confused by this exchange. Z, can you express further what feels different about Dina and Sloth's votes? They were made before there was anyone with multiple votes, so I don't see what you're seeing about trying to fly under the radar. I'm particularly interested because I'm not sure how to feel about Sloth and would like to think about his posts from some more angles.
Noting that kras also finds Dubz's enthusiasm noteworthy and maybe hinting it's AI? I don't know why else she would comment on it in this post. Feeling like either kras is trying to back genny up or maybe genny's feeling that Dubz's enthusiasm could be AI isn't as out-there as I thought.
Leaning w/w/v or v/v/w on kras/genny/Dubz
That feeling about kras is weak, just based on this post. I do have a strong feeling that genny and Dubz aren't packmates, though, and I'm suspicious enough of each to think there's a wolf between them. Dubz's response to my post asking about the posts that concerned me makes me feel much better about her, and I'm feeling worse and worse about genny (mainly for the same reasons Z has pointed out and her responses/lack of actual responses to his pushing her), so leaning Dubz village for now.
Thanks for clarifying! I'm going back and forth on whether this post is a good sign about alley's affiliation. On the one hand, she could have kept quiet (especially because I was not asking her directly), not pointed out that 50% of the times she's been yeeted it was correct, and went along with the idea of her being easy misyeet bait. On the other, it feels a bit off that she emphasized that yeeting her won breadsticks for village - part of villaging is avoiding being misyeeted, and this doesn't quite feel in line with that goal, almost like she's encouraging us (at least not discouraging us) to yeet her this game. I could see a wolf eagerly taking the chance to point it out, looking for village points for transparency. I'm going to say NAI for now because I can see reasons why it might be a good or bad strategy as either village or wolf.
This post is raising my eyebrows a bit given how I feel about genny. There were pages of long, analytical posts by this point, and the one you find most notable for raising good points is 30 words including 2 reads without any reasoning, 1 speculation about Dubz being 3p based on enthusiasm (this speculation really doesn't read genuine to me. I've never gotten the impression from Dubz that she would be more enthusiastic if she were 3p - I'm pretty sure she's talked on previous threads about how much fun vanilla/non-factional/basics/mountainous roles and games can be. Cray pointing out that wolf-genny often has role-hunting on the brain makes me like this speculation even less),
And what reasons did I give, exactly? I feel fine about people calling out my joke vote if they feel like I’m overexplaining - that’s subjective and if they’re getting that feeling then they should call it out - but this post feels off. Nowhere in that post am I trying to provide reasons I’m not a wolf; it’s a salt vote. Did you not read the post and just see others calling out an “overexplainy” post, get excited about an opportunity to jump on a misyeet wagon, and sheep on? It feels like you’re less concerned with the actual contents of my post and more with how you can use it.
Feeling worse about DrRoRo. Mentioning you’re new in your first post is one thing and wasn’t bothering me, but continuing to qualify subsequent posts with playing up being new is starting to get worrying. DrRoRo has now hedged both posts in which she said someone was suspicious with "but I'm new so idk".
Already mentioned above, but this exchange is very interesting and I want to bookmark it here.
I don't love a post seemingly pulling reads out of thin air. However, it doesn't feel like it's outside of Sloth's village range and could be explained by busyness. Still, if you're too busy to analyze posts then I don't really get how you're not too busy to get a read on everyone. If you did take the time to fully think these out, why not post a bit of reasoning? If you didn't, why post reads you're not confident of? Feels like maybe being more concerned with how others see you than with actually wolfhunting.
I wrote the above paragraph before I caught up with the thread and saw Sloth posting more reasoning. I have to think more about whether his reasons feel genuine, but I definitely feel better about him than when I wrote this. Still, I can't help but wonder why some people jumped a couple categories without an explanation, and I don't love that his first explanations were only the ones he was pushed on - again, looks like being more concerned with appeasing people than actual reads.
Wow this post is... quite something. Noted.
POE from most to least lupine:
genny
sloth
alley (esp if genny flips w)
DrRoRo
Dubz (weak, only if genny flips v)
kras (weak, if genny flips w/Dubz flips v)
I won't explicitly lay out my village reads yet. Most others are neutral and my few village reads have been read as villagey by others. Last game's dead chat pointed out that having an easy list of reads with a small number of people consistently showing up in village piles makes it easy for wolves to identify and target the most villagey players. I tend to be too candid and I'm trying to work on thinking harder about when info might actually be more helpful to wolves than village before I post.
