WW: -Omitted Topic-: Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It might be because I haven’t thoroughly read the write up, but not really.

#lynch SAR# because I’m not convinced it wouldn’t work.
Act 1, Scene 7: The Glitch in the Game

Disclaimer: This is an intentionally simple write up illustrating a point.
View attachment 257814

The last scene faded from view. First in an array of colors, and then to black. Without a Kailvan, there is no story (at least at this point in the story). And Kailvan is currently mortally wounded on the floor of the black chasm with nowhere to go.

Mortally wounded is Melchizedek, Kailvan, Villa-……..

Mechanistically, what does this mean: Lynch cycle will proceed as normal, but may be prone to some….. glitches that would otherwise not be possible. Specifically, anyone that mechanistically could NOT be lynched due to any sort of lynch avoidance CAN be lynched today and will die as a result (EXCLUDING THOSE NOT IN THE GAME). Another glitchy mechanic is that items can be used during the day cycle today (to take effect at the end of the day cycle). If Kailvan is still dead at the end of the day cycle, the game will jump ahead to ACT 2 automatically on the next day cycle, and a lengthy recap of what occurred during ACT 1 will become available following night actions. Regardless of if he is dead or alive at the end of the day cycle, the night will proceed as normal, at the same time in Act 1.

It is day 4: There are 30 people remaining in the game. There are 28 people able to vote. Lynch deadline is set for 10 pm est.
Yes the write ups help.

For people who have seen SAR as an antagonist before, how does she act with regards to her other antagonists? Avoids them? Big busser? None of the above?
She seemed to go the hardest for coffee, em, and genny (in that order). I am unsure of the info that can be gained from this since I don't know her "meta". I also can assume she knows we would look at this later.


Not sure I understood this one.

So @kcoughli and I wolfed with her in Lurking and I tried to bus her from D1. @Skimble was also a convert wolf, but didn't join the pack until after SAR died (her death was the conversion mechanism). Iirc she did defend my claims but was kind of dismissive with how she did it. I remember that me and KC were shocked at how long it took for her to actually get lynched and the running joke in wolf chat was "Why is SAR still alive?"

I am not following...

I will try to explain. Everyone on the board who is usually unlynchable was eligible for Lynch per the mod. due to mel being gone and the "glitching".

So let's make the assumption a villager brought mel back (I have no idea who actually did bring him back). The wolves wouldn't know whether he could be brought back or not, so I would think they would be worried SAR actually could be lynched yesterday. Does that make sense?

I get what you're saying, but idk if this would apply to an alpha. The exact mechanism was:

Specifically, anyone that mechanistically could NOT be lynched due to any sort of lynch avoidance CAN be lynched today and will die as a result (EXCLUDING THOSE NOT IN THE GAME).

So I guess it depends on if we consider an alpha's ability to not get lynched to really be "lynch avoidance" or not. I only question it because this game there are specific characters (royalty) who seem to specifically have a lynch avoidance ability. Regardless, I think the first question to answer is do we try and lynch SAR again? If yes, then we may get our answer on if she's an alpha or not. If no, how much does this line of thought matter right now given how many different situations there could have been?
 
Lynch grebes

Actually in desperate need of rereading but won't have time today so this is where I'm at. Not into relynching SAR today.

If there are big reasons why grebes should not be lynched that I have missed...please let me know

I mean in reading what you just quoted from Nav, it sounds pretty clearly like any lynch avoidances for players in the game were voided. So I see now what Ziggy was saying and I don't know why an alpha wouldn't be included in that, as it looks like there were no exceptions given.

Not in the game doesn't mean those players have lynch avoidance, it means they are not fully present in the game. The two things are very different.

Avoidance means an ability not to be lynched so she should apply unless the game is wolf-sided.
 
Lynch grebes

grebes was first on SAR D3, and remained there, if that impacts anything.
 
We may need to reconsider the alpha terminology and consider the royal thing.

"Additionally, voting has an extra stipulation. If a person is of royalty, royal blood, etc. they will not be able to be lynched, so long as the nation that they hail from is standing tall. If their nation were to be obliterated, destroyed, or occupied by another, they then become able to be lynched."

I don't have an inclination that any nation has been obliterated, destroyed, etc.

I guess I just found it notable because SAR wasn't outted until the following day.
*shrug*
Plenty of wolves vote for fellow wolves before they're outted, especially if they aren't in real danger of the lynch going through. Will consider it though since I can't vote for her today anyway.

If Grebes is not technically in the game, is that really that notable?

If anything, it leans me a bit more towards Dubz's line of thinking
I don't see how grebes' game status affects things. Her votes still counted.
 
Lynch skim

I still think her early game comments felt off, and considering Mel's role, I am interested in more pressure on the people who were driving the idea of him being sketchy. Need to go back and look at who else that was besides skim, will try to do that later.
 
I will also say I do not trust genny.
why?

ziggy is not a wolf
So it seems that Coffee (or whoever is feeding Coffee information) is a role name seer and I'm not about to take their word for a person's affiliation based on role names.
i'll buy that SAR is a wolf, and i see coffee's info as confirmation more than proof (if that makes sense?). like, not sure if coffee's info on its own would be enough, but in conjunction w SARs posts and the lynch avoidance, the role seer info is pretty damning.
on the same note, not sure i put enough stock in role names or the ability of role names to confirm affiliation, so not ready to buy coffee's vouch for zig based on role name alone (which is what i'm assuming this is based off of)

I think lynching SAR right now will be pretty pointless. I’m fairly certain she’s our alpha.
disagree. i'll go with the "if it doesn't die, lynch it twice" rule. not sure if i like how you are trying to discourage people from voting here.
from my experience, this seems like a pretty closely followed rule, so not sure why people seem to be debating it.

ziggy/coffee interactions are weird. not sure how i feel about them. especially with both of them pushing for SARs lynch yesterday.
if SAR is an alpha, very possible one or both of them could be wolfs trying to push a vote that they know won't do anything and make them look good i the process. if SAR does get lynched successfully, makes them both seem more village.

lynch SAR
 
STILL after rereading I find Barks sketchy. Ugh. AM and Zig are village to me, as well as Pippy and Paws. Don’t know how to feel about covefe. I definitely see the arguments for lynching SAR again, but I don’t know with how flippant she seems on thread if that would actually do anything. You know what I’m just gonna go with my gut.

Lynch Barks

tbf, I'm strongly against this rule because:
a. it rarely works
b. whether it does or doesn't work, provides no additional info
 
It has taken me all day to catch up on thread. I had been quoting posts as I went, but of course, they are all gone since it took me so long (I started on page 15 this morning). So, I was also attacked last night, though now I'm wondering if "attacked" always means attack with the intent to kill, or just a wolf/antagonist performing the action. I find it super sketch that mpm claims to be a blocker and yet hasn't been successful in blocking for 2 nights, so I'm inclined to vote there. Something mutts said also seemed sketchy, but I'm not even sure I can vote there yet (I haven't checked yet, but wanted to make a note).

Lynch mpm

For now.
So how do people voting for skim feel about her claiming she was attacked? you think she made that up or?
 
I want to lynch @Skimble first though, as nothing she has done has convinced me otherwise. Yesterday she just jumped on at end of day after things were basically decided and threw a vote on the SAR pile. At best it's lazy af village play, at worst it's a wolf trying to get on the lynch train.
Or maybe it was that I had just gotten home and had 10+ pages to catch up on (which I openly admit I still haven’t read) and I was feeling overwhelmed with the volume of posts I needed to read. I asked for a summary, coffee was the only one to give me anything, and I had reason to believe her, so I went with the only info I had. Maybe you think that is lazy, but it was the most effective way I could handle it given the amount of time I had, and how much I dislike to new sdn on my phone (which is how I play 90% or more of most games.)
Well **** me I guess.

*****lynch skimble***** due to some somewhat sketchy things that happened last night. Someone got attacked last night in a kinda sketchy way that makes me somewhat suspicious of a handful of people.

Will be actively trying to create a tie.
I know you don’t believe me, but it wasn’t me. I have not attacked anyone and I didn’t do anything at all last night.
Lynch skim

I still think her early game comments felt off, and considering Mel's role, I am interested in more pressure on the people who were driving the idea of him being sketchy. Need to go back and look at who else that was besides skim, will try to do that later.
I voted for mel d1 as a joke.

Look, I get why many of you are voting for me. I’ve been very overwhelmed with the post volume this game, combined with irl stuff. In general I don’t like the beginning of games until it gets down to a more manageable number of players. With this new sdn, I’m having a hard time keeping track of who is saying what while on mobile.

That said, zj, cof?, miz and Mel are at the top of my village reads. I’m out at the store and I’ll come back and vote later when I have a little more time to think. I’d be ok with a sar lynch today because it seems like the best time to test the theory of her being lynchable since we are still at a stage where deaths are low.

Just a reminder too, I was attacked one night. That attack lead to me being unable to use anything but passive abilities the following night. I’m not sure if I was attacked with the intent to be killed or if the block was the intent. The word attack was used in my pm from the mods.
 
So I think I understand why Skilary's sketchy given her posting and voting behavior since it's increasingly looking to be similar to her wolf play before. I feel that village Skilary's a lot more persistent and confident while wolf Skilary's more quiet and reserved. However, I'd like to see more from her and her thoughts today @Skimble

Whoops got ninja'd by Skilary's post :ninja::bag::sorry:
 
So how do people voting for skim feel about her claiming she was attacked? you think she made that up or?
Aren't there various fighters in the write ups? And in any case, do you think wolves are incapable of lying about details?

I'm not taking someone's word on the exact wording of a night result as evidence not to lynch them
 
You're saying you don't like that rule, but in doing so, you're using the opposite rule to influence where your vote goes.
I feel like I'm following my philosophy as I'm not voting SAR. What is it that you're referring to?
I meant "again" as in don't make me start this game plz
Does it scare you when I act like this?

Wolves lie all the time. I was just wondering what people thought of it

Don't be a brat. You're either playing dumb or misunderstanding what I am saying, and I'm too tired today to deal with the former.

You started talking about your rules for things last game when the extra kills happened, and I think it is fair for me to bring it up when you appear to be doing something similar.

I'm genuinely confused.

Okay, but I'm not seeing the discrepancy since I'm following what I'm saying.
 
*****lynch Jboo***** for overall lack of communication. Nothing super solid right now. Also ok with a skimble lynch and if it comes down to it may switch over if necessary.
I’m not going to apologize for being a busy vet student 🙄

Is it weird that Miz wanted to lynch jboo even though they say they are in a group pm?
Not sure why this was a thing, I can at least vouch that Miz reported that she was blocked shortly after the end of N1 in group PM.
I have both in my sketch column. Have not been impressed with my jboo iso
 
I will have to think on this more. But her saying her name was forced out of her contradicted what someone else said about how that was phrased to them. It made it seem like she was embellishing her results from the mod to intentionally shade them.

ziggy/coffee interactions are weird. not sure how i feel about them. especially with both of them pushing for SARs lynch yesterday.
if SAR is an alpha, very possible one or both of them could be wolfs trying to push a vote that they know won't do anything and make them look good i the process. if SAR does get lynched successfully, makes them both seem more village.

lynch SAR
We have been through this. Up until 10 minutes left, SAR WOULD have been able to get lynched. Do you just suppose we somehow brought Mel back in order to not get SAR lynched? 😕

@genny @Dinashadow @mizchiefmanaged is this what the attack you referenced did also or no?

I’m not caught up but I’m going to say this louder for the people in the back.

DO NOT LYNCH SAR, SHE DID NOT HAVE A LYNCH AVOIDANCE.
What do you think about this @StartingoverVet @StayingPositive2017 @Matthew9Thirtyfive @Lawper ?
Can you elaborate on why you thought this?
I asked a question to the mod in PM and he answered in a way that made me consider it wasn't possible. I likely just misinterpreted/overinterpreted what he said and phrased it on thread in a poor way
Is it weird that Miz wanted to lynch jboo even though they say they are in a group pm?
Imo, no. I was paired up with her as a PM buddy in family tree, even after someone swapped us we still RNGd back together. She virtually never responded to me and I was suspicious of her the entire game.

My attack did not mention allowing me to keep passive abilities, but then again I don’t have any.
