Ok, home from Columbus and caught up, I think. Definitely going to have to re-read that intro post a few times to absorb it all.
Regardless,

Just to make it more interesting on the board. Wouldn't want Barks to run away with it with no competition.
Wait... does Mel hate cows? How did I miss this?
Of course you will. 😛

What is wrong with that poor cows face???
Spoiler, I spent my entire weekend in Columbus with cows. Cows are lyfe.
(For the record, I'd also be ok with BarkBark. I am in support of the reasons why others are voting for her, but I'm selfish).

Mod said there are mechanics that would make a block still happen, not that the mods themselves would be the deciding factor. It could just as easily be a player's ability or an item or etc and so on.Regardless of what Navilly said, I still don't think I want to block anyone
Based on the rules post, it sounds like there will be minimal killing in the game anyways for the time when the block would be in effect, so all we would likely be blocking is things like info-gathering abilities, and I would rather those not be squashed.
Information makes the WWorld go round.
Plus, if there is a story determining much of the early flow of the game, then perhaps letting the winds of fate (aka the mod god) decide who is blocked is not such a bad thing?

I would agree that blocking does not seem to accomplish a whole lot in the early game. That being said, someone will get blocked regardless of whether or not we vote for a specific person. There are still ways of minimizing the chances of eliminating a crucial info-gathering ability.

Obviously everybody is free to vote for what they want to do, clearly I'm not voting to block anyone (at least right now) but I'm not going to encourage anyone to not vote to block if they want to. I feel like we get more useful information that way too.

Since the concept of being overwhelmed has come up a few times, I will note that the write ups will not be as long for day and night cycles, especially since you have two to read in 1 day. They will still be content rich and tell a story, but if you are worried about 8 pages of material going out twice a day, worry not.
This seems reasonable, and likely an alright strategy.
Block Jahboi
Unless, of course, there's some sort of kickback for someone who intentionally wants to be blocked. But that's pretty WIFOM-y and I'm not willing to go there yet. Someone volunteering to be blocked is likely better than RNG-ing it or letting a small handful of people control where the block goes while everyone else abstains.
block jahboi
Was originally going to vote to reverie genny but with jahboi blocking himself in the hopes of not blocking anyone with information gathering abilities, I think I'm comfortable voting there.

Interesting move. The real question is does the LIS rule apply in this situation?
I'll run with it for now because I agree with the statement (that someone will get blocked regardless and better to know who and how, less so info gathering). Nothing personal

Fwiw, I also read the Ziggy/AM interactions as a little aggressive (moreso just Ziggy) but I tend to always read her tone as a little more assertive/aggressive anyway so right now it's NAI for me I think.

I am going to remind everyone per the rules post, you can vote to BLOCK OR REVERIE. Many of you just voted to do both without removing your first vote. Please do a new post with your vote if that is your wish on what you want to do.

This is nice, given that we will already have enough to read with 33 people, including chatterboxes like yours truly (who is going to try to shut up a little more than usual for everyone's benefit & because lounge style game deserves lounge style posting).
Why wouldn't you try to get the sketchiest blocked? Why leave up to date when mod confirmed will happen anyways? That's just lazy play.Regardless of what Navilly said, I still don't think I want to block anyone

Navilly, can you comment on the effects of ties, and whether more than one person can receive the effects of a reverie or block?
If more than one person can receive the benefit by a reverie tie that probably wouldn't be a bad thing for us to try to do...

You know whats lazy play? Suggesting an idea and not backing it up. Who do you suggest is sketchiest at this point and why?
Of course! Tie mechanic is quite simple. If there is a tie on a vote, all victims of the tie (NOT THE TIEMAKER) will feel the effect of the vote. This applies whether it is lynching, blocking, reverieing, etc.
Lol jesus I can't read. I thought you got to do one of each.

So 1 way ties all around?
I think it's also important to consider that whoever we are blocking, if they are a villager, has a pretty high chance of survival for the first 5 days.
If you have him added on facebook this would be appreciated. They are someone who indicated that they won't be checking in until April 10th again, so providing them with a nudge on facebook to let them know the game started early would be awesome 🙂.

My initial thought too. Is voting to block yourself really any different from voting to lynch yourself?
Could this just be a “well this is temporary and seems relatively harmless when weighed against the village cred I could gain” scenario?
Makes me a little uncomfortable...
###unreverie lawpy reverie pippy### let's make a tie! Someone halp
Edit: Wait, I get it! You want someone to help MAKE the tie
I shouldn't WW when sleep deprived
First off, it's a question about her logic that I would like her to answer, not suggesting an idea. Second I don't like mpm observation of AM and ziggy because I feel she's been around long enough to understand how AM can affect people, but not enough to lynch her for it. There's been a lot going on so I'm still observing. Thankfully turns out we only have to revere or block not both, which is my misunderstanding. I think it would be better to revere than block, but if you have stronger feels negatively than positively you should still vote for the sketchiest rather than leaving it up to "fate". That seems stupid.
But I didn't make a tie tho... I want to, but I alone am not enough lol
I would imagine they are approximately as different as blocking and lynching. 😉
But I still don't know why someone would want to do either, unless there is a hidden benefit.
It's okay, I figured it out. Turns out I cannot read or count
I can see situations where this would be useful while being village so for me it's not a LIS rule. Not giving them village points for that but I understand.
I already stated why. And for further clarification, if I have to pick one thing, I'm picking an upgrade over a block, every time.

Sorry this is confusing, and that my wording has not been better. Both a reverie or a block will happen as a result of day 1. However, each individual person is only voting for 1 or the other.
Why do you think this? The rules just state that they lose their role ability for 5 turns. Not sure how this translates into them having a higher chance of surviving for this time too?
Right, but you state you want the village to have their info gathering role, so instead of trying to achieve that result you want to leave it up to the mods. Why? (disregarding the clarification I'm more interested in your logic)
It doesn't. Based on the explanation from the mods, there will be a low kill count the first few days
It read playful/sassy and seems NAI. Both seem fine for now
I get that part.
I just don’t get the logic behind her stating that whoever is blocked has a higher chance of survival.
Hmm

It may have no effect for some
Wolves probably less likely to target someone who has no ability or is outright blocked from using it for first 5 days; alternatively if they are a wolf maybe less likely to be lynched because buying village cred by being blocked. I could buy either scenario actually improving odds of survival.
If this was something you specifically wanted Coop to answer, my bad.
Why did you like this post, then unlike it and ask me this like you're confused??
Wolves like to kill PRs, not vanillas. Assuming the blocking works like it is stated, someone who is blocked would be vanilla for 5 days. Why would wolves use a kill on this?
