WildZoo's WWildZoo- Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was actually legit busy the last game. Only one time did I purposefully avoid talking on thread so that we could set up the lynch vote in our favor.

I also somehow didn't see the first tag for this game and didn't know the game thread had been posted! And I went to bet at 9 last night because I was so tired.

I've had 2 cheetahs as avatars, both animated gifs, so not the pic caia currently has posted.

Speaking of animated gifs, anyone know how to make one from a video? I want to use Larry, the worlds most seductive otter!!

Great, changing back to my original pic.

To convert a vid to a gif, you can do online conversion or download an app to do it. If the video is already online, it's easier to do it through the web (just search for video to gif converter) or if it's on your phone, there's a few apps.

Pretty sure you can do it in Photoshop too. It's been a while but I think that's how I've done it before.
 
The odds of them both being a wolf is ridiculously low, especially if they were both wolves last game. Not only that, if Ny WAS a wolf, Jil would be an idiot to defend her this early. There's no way they'd both be wolves, especially since they're both veterans. I think it's completely reasonable for her to say that the chances of her being a wolf 3 games in a row is low af, and if we are at a complete loss on who to lynch D1, it should at least be someone who is more statistically likely to flip wolf

I don't know if you can really say anyone is much more likely than anyone else. But immediately laser focusing on people for reasons from past games is probably a good way to miss things; not that D1 is ever an informed lynch, but you know.

Even with a computer, we'd need to know the number of wolves in THIS game, and if you have that info, then we should definitely switch to you right now. 😛
 
Is this just tongue in cheek, or do you actually think she looks sketchy?

Tongue in cheek lol. I'll most likely change lynches once I get more of a read on someone.
 
as someone who also is usually considered as a sketchy person i'd think you'd understand 😀

I remembered a "n" name and thought I knew what I was talking about. And I understand, just do a lot of pot to kettle in these games.

Thanks!!! Now I have my sexy otter!!! 😍

Why it gotta be man centric? Why can't it be cup size measuring or something?

I don't like all the votes on Ny. I feel some of them are just retaliation from last game, and what are the chances she was RNG'd to a wolf role two games in a row? I know it happens, but it's pretty rare. I also know she can be hard to read, but I'd like to give her a chance before everyone bandwagons on her.
I don't think it's as rare as you're making it out to be, I was a wolf in the last 3 games I played. I skipped a couple games in there, so it wasn't actually three games in a row, but it happened. However, I agree that you wouldn't defend a fellow wolf this hard D1, so I don't think that's what's going on. I'm not getting sketch vibes from ny or LotF at the moment.

I was decidedly village in the big village rout game. you're thinking of nohika.
THANK YOU. I was reading this thinking "umm, ny definitely wasn't a wolf in HTGAWM." When no one said anything I was starting to think maybe you hadn't played that game and were a wolf the game before or something. :laugh:

I was specifically referring to games in a row and I also said it's not impossible, just not all that likely. I feel most of the votes for her are retaliatory, which just isn't cool imho, and it also isn't how you catch wolves.

Also, I blame you for me being a wolf in the last game. If you'd have played it probably would have been you, not me. 😛
 
Hey @sheltermed why did you vote for LOTF? You didn't give a reason for following raf and I, who had jokingly thrown votes at her because she took cdos avatar for this game and it confused us.

Mostly the same reason as you two; I had asked her why it was her avatar and didn't like her answer, so I voted. Her answer was just prior (or close to) my vote, so I didn't think I needed to include the reason.
 
Didn't like the answer in what way?

Was gonna ask the same thing pipperooni

it's not really that deep or complicated, I just felt it was a vague answer and I didn't like it. I didn't put all that much thought into it. It's the first day and I have to vote for someone.

"Because it was funny and went with the theme."

Did I not switch to Jilary? I swear I switched off am to Jilary. Did my phone really not freaking post it?
 
God damn it, ok unlynch AM lynch jilary

Stupid phone, I think I said AM explanation of more talking is valid and Jilary is sketching me out with handwaving about stats.
It wasn't handwaving, it was actually trying to talk about the game instead of people's avatars. The stats thing doesn't really matter anyway because Ny wasn't a wolf two games in a row already.

I know she could be a wolf two games in a row now, but like I've said a few times, the votes mostly feel retaliatory, which you said yourself is BS.

This is sketchy to me... why would a wolf be bringing attention to themselves by defending someone so early? Jil is the one person I have strong village feels for already.

Do you really think that makes her sketchy, though? I doubt a wolf would want to bring attention to themselves by stealing someone's avatar. I know it's D1, but we still have to try to vote for people we think are wolves.

ya, I never said I was gonna keep my vote there...there's quite a bit of time left until lynch close, so I'm keeping up with the thread in the meantime and seeing how I feel about others.

There are plenty of reasons, one being trying to talk about stats as a giant distraction for any number of reasons. Perhaps to prevent villagers from actually analyzing play because everyone is discussing stats. Defending can lend to village points and it's easy to defend villagers because you know who's not a wolf.

I also dropped the stats conversation hours ago, and if you thinks stats aren't involved in ww, then you are really wrong. The only reason I went into depth about it was because AM said Ny had the same chance as any of us, and that isn't necessarily true.

Which would make sense if it wasn't D1
 
So my vote for LOTF originally wasn't very serious, but now that she's been leading for some time and we still haven't heard anything... I'm intrigued. It's interesting because no one is really commenting about it at all. For ny's vote, plenty of people are arguing about people's reasoning and stats and whatever, but there's absolutely nothing being discussed about LOTF, and she's the one actually leading. Makes me wonder if she's a wolf and the other wolves don't want to say anything because they don't want to be caught defending another wolf on day 1. hm, I think I might leave my vote there for now.

They are not retaliatory (at least on my end). You did a strategy centered on ignoring last game. That's fine if you want to play like that, but now I personally will be making sure you stay talking this game. I am likely switching off of you, but don't be surprised if you are not a default vote starting off each day as added encouragement to talk.
 
The whole stats conversation makes me want to break out WINBUGS and run a bayesian analysis or three. That's the one thing I miss about grad school is the statistics.

As long as you don't let another person doing the same thing do it next...
 
jk I do see where lyra and ski are asking shelter more about her LOTF vote, so there is some discussion about it. It just got lost in the whole stats discussion in my head. I still think I'm going to leave my vote on LOTF for now though.
 
I feel like Coop is coming on a little strong today, but perhaps she's just talking more than I'm used to? Just the vibes of her posts seem more aggressive to me. Not that this means wolf, but does anyone have any thoughts on her play today?
 
As long as you don't let another person doing the same thing do it next...
Hey now, Nyanko posted at least 5 times today, so that's progress on two fronts! Maybe we just need to post random wrong stuff about Nyanko on the thread each day to get her to talk. For tomorrow: "Nyanko hates neurology but absolutely loves osteology."
 
ya, I never said I was gonna keep my vote there...there's quite a bit of time left until lynch close, so I'm keeping up with the thread in the meantime and seeing how I feel about others.
so do you have any feels for any others yet? not even wolf feels, just thoughts in general?
