looking at the people in the ties, i don't like how ace came on, said april was a wolf and didn't give a lot of explanation, and then left and we haven't heard from since
unyeet MsPTop
yeet Ace
to get the heck away from a tie and also to get an explanation for the april stuff.
This seemed reasonable to me because Ace has been wolfy consistently.
i don't like that the response to please explain your reads was a fairly similar looking reads list, which also had no explanations. but i'll keep reading and see if that changed.
but (and i could be wrong) i don't remember anyone pushing her to post reads
This is the same issue that I'd taken with Sloth's reads lists (although I'd argue that I was pushing for them to be posted, and I know sunshine would say I was doing that and being mean)
i think these z/genny interactions are interesting. maybe w/v or v/v
Pleasy, I'm curious if you remember if you thought at this point that genny was definitely village or if you were saying that that pairing could go either way?
i don't like this vote, it read to me as genuine joke? and it seems a bit close to yeet for this to be a joke vote. if i finish my catchup and april's still on this one is definitely an eyebrow raise
This was in reference to April's genny vote
interested to see where this goes. but this paired with the stuff from p4 that i mentioned makes me thing April and ace are not w/w, i don't think bussing that hard is reasonable
Agreed with this
while im tempted to read this as genuine, it reminds me a leetle bit of when someone was caught for essentially a typing mistake that made it clear they were faking reads and i don't like it
I think this was in reference to Sloth saying that there really wasn't a difference in their neutral vs ???? reads and I took issue with the same thing.
it was the questionable reads lists posted earlier without much explanation + the saying that ???/neutral were the same upon reflection didn't sit right with me, and the latter made me vote
i think this gets the genny vote to 6 (maybe 7) and that's awfully big. definitely some wolves hiding in there. i don't have her strongly in either category, but i think whatever she flips it'll be interesting to see who was on the vote
I feel like the only wolfy possibility left on the genny wagon is Lainey - the others on there were Z, Dubz, sunshine, April, and Vissy
I thought this was interesting and wanted to keep this in mind as I keep reading. I know who's morning dead during this catchup btw. My current hmms are sloth, shorty (though I doubt they would be in a pack together, and shorty is admittedly a much weaker suspicion than sloth), ace and dina.
As far as I can tell, my being part of this list was solely based on Cray's earlier comment regarding my giving the noobs the benefit of the doubt?
i don't like this comment by lainey, i'm feeling worse about her as time goes on.
interesting point paired with my feelings abt Lainey
quoted this bc i agree and also just a placemarker for me reading the lainey/AM interactions. ew fighting.
I think that the frustration from lainey towards AM is NAI, and doesn't put her more wolf or village. What does push her a little more wolfy to me was the frustration (and this was just my interpretation) of AM ISO'ing her, when AM was ISO'ing everyone who interacted w genny that she didn't have as clear.
what's the connection?
Lots of Lainey sus early
caught up
yeet sloth
close close eye on lainey
More Lainey sus
this is the post where i start having issues with sloth. no one had prompted her to post a full roster reads list beyond maybe a hey whatchya thinking i maybe missed. i found the volunteering of a list with literally no logic real fishy
doesn't say anything concrete on anyone (although it's mid D1 so that i dont super have an issue with)
then this is where my problem gets pretty solidified. between the lists everyone was like "its weird to post a list with no explanation. please give us explanation" then sloth said here's another list with a single sentence of kinda sorta explanation
putting this here
this i think was the only explanation we got. no reasons beyond village, which is easy enough to stay vague on.
Explanation of why Sloth given her Lainey suspicions
this could be defense without actually being defense. esp because she was irritated w AM asking her questions that a post 2 above had explained, when this question had been addressed in the previous posts i made on the same page/page before. an intentional misunderstanding kinda thing
More Lainey
unyeet sloth
yeet ace
ace just skyrocketed past sloth in sus
This is when Ace seemed like he was openly wolfing badly and quite a few of us thought it was really weird.
this is gonna get very WIFOM very fast, careful. most people sus inactivity but you're thinking it's more village? I'm curious as for why? Like you said that you think that they would be on more trying to make themselves look more village, but im curious as to what you think of the other side of the coin (some people say inactivity is trying to just hide and fly under the radar)
Pushing Lainey
I mean i don't think it's IMPOSSIBLE but i also don't think it's likely. granted, april has remained in my neutral (leaning village but only due to i don't learn and nice!April bias bc i like her a lot) and ace has been in my wolf reads for a hot minute now
but i think that if they were in a pack together, ace wouldnt be messing up and saying wolfy stuff so often on the thread bc i feel like he'd be more likely to listen to april
I agree with this, April has wolfed once and did a really good job of it - I'd imagine that if she were in the pack, she'd at least be coaching them to not say openly wolfy things.
Although I say that like the pack is self destructing, and while we think we have one now, our record is not great.
I'm finding dina's points on MsP compelling, and definitely a cause for concern.
As far as MsP's ace vote, if they were in a pack, I can understand the vote still. At that point the majority of us were/are sus'ing ace so that seems like pretty easy village cred to grab, swooping in and getting rid of ace as she attempted to do.
but i can also see a situation where I'm wrong, ace is village, and MsP is just playing her wolf-meta (I might be misusing meta) like Dina says.
This is what I meant earlier, I think the disjointed wolf pack approach is really making it hard to see any packs, because with each flip i can't necessarily discount or confirm pack members
I'm worried that several of us, including me, are getting too hung up on pack dynamics and not focusing enough on individual wolfy actions.
who do you think might be in Lainey's pack? from your post im inferring cray but also if you've said it before i apologize
I think if I remember correctly she was asking this of Vissy?
i've been thinking that a little bit too. even as the divided pack i think they might be, this is a bit far for that. ace has moved down my sus list this morning bc my main issues were tunneling with very little evidence and then saying weird stuff last night, but lainey has moved up and they're about tied right now in wolfyness, but im beginning to think it's more of an either/or than i previously thought.
unyeet ace
yeet lainey
i wanna see where that goes
Back to Lainey suspicions that she had before
this in combination with a post cray made earlier makes me even more ???? about lainey and pushing her further into wolf. I'm interested to see that flip tonight.
Pleasy's been on the Lainey train of thought for a while, that's what this ISO is telling me.
I agree that there's been some tonal change in Ace but I don't think it's gone wolfy>villagey. I think it went noob wolfing and barely posting> ok i got told i need to contribute more, so i'm gonna ask people to ask me questions.
Yeah I mean, I didn't say that I was reading Ace village, I just did see A tonal shift when I did his ISO. It wasn't profound. It wasn't Z-level wolf --> village by any stretch.
I mean I think it's dissolved bc Lainey is being sketch. To me, Lainey is more surely a wolf than ace right now and I'd rather vote on someone I'm more sure of
This seems reasonable to me based on Lainey's posts.
ok, updated reads:
Alley: still solidly in neutrals. I don't want to make the same mistake last time of i like her=village, and her personal life has been really difficult lately so she hasn't been on much. She's pretty echoey but it's hard not to be echoey when you're playing a lot of catchup
Lainey: super wolfy vibes. I maintain that I'm more sure of her being a wolf than other people at this point, but i think the point that shorty and then alley made is an important one to consider, MsP may be more dangerous as a wolf than Lainey. And then as alley pointed out, MsP is lw dangerous to village as village, if that's where it flips.
I'm not totally sure why she's still leaving Alley in neutrals at this point but since I don't have date stamps on pulled quotes, I don't remember if this was before or after Lainey started being super Alley-avoidant and sketchy. I think it was before.
Cray has been pretty solidly in my village reads, she's playing as I've seen her play village before, but the one little thought I had that took away a village point during my catch-up is that she is throwing suspicion EVERYWHERE. I know she addressed it in a post early on last night, but that could be addressing it so that no one else can question it later. I dont necessarily think she's wolf at all, and aggro village Cray is normal, but I can't tell who her village reads are at all and that gives me a little bit of pause
Agreed with this too, paranoia!Cray seems like standard village!Cray from when I've totted games, sometimes it seems like Cray even gets sus of herself (Cray, if you're reading this, I say this with the utmost respect).
those were just the ones cray asked for, everyone else:
ace: definitely not letting go of the possibility he's wolf. I've felt a little better about him in the past 24 hours, especially bc a lot of my suspicion was a split second reaction to what he said before yeet last time
alley; above
april; above
cray; above
dina: this one is hard. i have her in neutral leaning village, i agree with a good amount of her points and she does seem to be wolf hunting. The only reason she's not in village solidly is bc a few of my village reads have sus'd her and i think there's a little bit of weight to that
kras: another difficult one. Pretty solidly neutral with a little caveat of could be wolf. playing a little less chaotic than I've seen before, which I'm not sure what that means for AI. I think cray's point of kras stretching on lainey is interesting, bc (as cray pointed out) there are a lot of other reasons to sus lainey, but again, i don't think this is anything damning. I think there's a possibility that kras is doing a combination of flying under the radar (although I do largely believe that inactivity is NAI, we are all very busy people) because of some of the content of her posts, with a little bit of bold-woofing
lainey; above
MsP: wolfy. I agree with a lot of shorty's points and Dina's suspicions and I think kras and alley too about the danger of keeping MsP around. In an earlier post I noted that I'm keeping my vote on lainey for now, but if it doesn't look like MsP is gonna be modkilled, I will probably move to MsP.
sunshine: weak village. from what I've seen, playing how village sunshine does. doin some wolf hunting. keeping sunshine away from neutral is that I don't think it's super likely that theyre in a pack with my top wolf reads, but this could do with some reevaluation and I'll probably ISO sunshine to get a stronger feeling after my homework tonight
shorty; above
visc: difficult. in neutral for me, another one where busy life has made it kinda hard to read this game. I think that the catch up posts have some substance to them, but I also don't know who the village reads are. another one I need to go back and ISO and get a stronger read on.
i think that's everyone. I kept counting 11 and I was like no there are 12 players! Me, I'm the 12th player. christ
More reads that are consistent with her reads she posted before.
Ok Ily alley but this gave me pause.
It reads to me like you haven't really read what people have been saying/are misunderstanding on purpose and trying to plant seeds for a waffle right before close.
Jic, from what I understand, shorty and Dina are both on the lainey and MsP are both sus but MsP is dangerous either way let's yeet her train
I'm going more towards that direction as the day progresses, but for now I'm on lainey but have said I'm gonna go over to MsP if it looks like she's unlikely a mod kill (which I understand is waffling in itself, but i read your post as let's plan a village-wide waffle)
Calling out Alley - since I have a wolfy read on Alley right now, this struck me as villagey, but I could be wrong.
what do you think of her interactions with other people, why is she village and not ???
Questioning Lainey
Back to her Lainey vote from before
Unyeet lainey
Yeet ace
Pressure voting, ya talked a big game and I wanna see delivery
I think this is interesting and I'm curious to see where it goes.
