WW: -Omitted Topic-: Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Your caveat makes your entire post the equivalent of a shrug with a simpering half-smile. It’s like plain mashed potatoes, no salt or butter or gravy. Just bland “here’s a post that might seem like I’m contributing but I’m actually not really saying anything because it can be interpreted whatever way I want it to be thanks to my lil friend ms. caveat”. So that earned you an eye roll.

Strategy is me calling you out on your nothingness with a side of sass to add some flavor to those potatoes.

I guess if your ability to propose things is limited to only basing things on what you know for a fact, then yes it would seem like nothing. People make assumptions all the time in this game, especially d1 where we literally know next to nothing about everyone. As I've said earlier, in previous games I've played (n is only 3), when people were unable to talk but could communicate in some way, more often than not their hints were accurate. Could be a coincidence, but at least in some of those cases they had inside info the rest of us didn't. So it isn't too much of a stretch to point that out saying that maybe she's got info we don't. Should we assume she's village since that's the statistical probability, because if we do then it may be good to listen to her.
 
I don't like this entire post, and if you weren't in locations unknown I would likely be lynching you for it. Anytime someone gets this much into the weeds on hypotheticals it jives to me as insincere.
not really sure how my post was more "into the weeds" that other's posts, but ok


This is pretty poor analysis. Did you actually read any of my posts? No one was substantiating any of their rationale for voting. I did not even try to break the tie at the very end. That said, do you actually think I would be that obtuse as a wolf to draw so much attention to myself for resisting a tie?

The bolded just screams "hey look I am a villager and I can do villager things" without any actual evidence to back it up. Just words. And, for that matter, if you weren't somewhere else, I would probably be voting for you right now. Liking my post, then unliking it and questioning me on it just felt so gross and opportunistic.

I explained this, and honestly considering the sheer volume of words in the intro/rules posts and subsequent write ups, i'm misreading a lot of things this game (gotta love an ADHD brain trying to read quickly)
Because I misread the rules, thought it made sense (remembered reading something about 5 days), re-read the rules, realized it didn’t actually make sense.
also, re: "i didn't try to break the tie at the very end" .... so what? like you said, would you be so obtuse to break the tie again? this seems like an easy way for a wolf to try and avoid the tie, realize that it's not working, and then say "well my actions didn't matter ultimately" when they get called out for it .... which is exactly what you're doing now.

Very first game, and it's a doozy to start with -- do me a favor and give the new kid a break for a day or two before you toss him in the Trilt-brand pressure cooker?
is @Jahboi a true noob or just an SDN noob?

Idk here's a tinfoil. from the way it's written, that yellow looks a bit closer to orange yellow and closer to red, which fits with the antagonist portion of it. It sounds like Doggy could be affiliated with the Major Antagonists in some indirect 3rd party way?
like nav said in the intro, expect shades of good/bad, so that's how i interpreted the color too. orange isn't fully red, but still more red than good or even neutral.

@Stagg737 Why did dubz die?
why would stagg know this?

Hey so I got delayed n1 results. What do you guys think about a silver dude who forces role names from players?

I also think there’s an item thief around, so keep a close eye on your stuff.
the silver knight from the write ups?

@cubsrule4e and @Coopah like this if you can communicate through likes.
cubs has been liking posts since yesterday. i haven't seen much (if any?) liking from coop, but im not necessarily taking that as coop being unable to like things since nav was willing to accommodate players with scheduling conflicts, and i'm thinking that maybe coop isn't checking in for IRL reasons and was put in a low activity role accordingly.

(edited to tag jahboi so he can hopefully answer my question)

other thoughts, coffee was quiet yesterday which was giving me feels, but seems more active today. so currently in neutral

im not sure how i feel about this interaction:
Barks, how solid are you feeling about that vouch. Because what mpm's putting down doesn't exactly make her village to me
very solid

i feel like this is a little fishy, and reading it as w/v (or at least w/neutral... don't have barks fully in my village leans yet)

i'm happy with my cozy tunnel on zig, but i'm willing to put it on the back burner for now (to likely re-visit later) and vote for someone who i read as wolfy and not just generally sketchy

lynch SAR

They're from a different forum.

If I'm being honest, this sounds like an unnecessary breakdown of third parties. Purple also contains levels of red but doesn't indicate much in terms of wolfsiding.
why would stagg know this?
I want to hear what he says first.

I'm getting likes from Coop so she is around.

I was not trying to be fishy, and was trying to word my question in a way that would not solicit extra information on thread if it should not be. I had mpm in my wolfy reads and her ability is not necessarily village-leaning. So I wanted to clarify with Barks whether the vouch for mpm was a solid one - i.e. based on info I do not have - or whether it was not. The solid vouch moved me off, where a soft or non-committal vouch would not have.

Oh god the shrug emoji is gone, send help

As for the minor antagonist subject,...how is this a discussion, mod made it very clear that things are not as black and white this game. Changing allegiance, situational allegiance etc. minor antagonist sounds exactly like it is ...not a villager, but an antagonist. Rather get the major antagonists, but not losing any sleep over this outcome either. I think this is going to be an ongoing issue this game and I hope we don’t get too far off the line of finding wolves.

Other than that.....I will be around in the afternoon actively and have a lot of re-reading to do...as I am sure you all do. This game is sensory overload at this point.
Are you someone who doesn't like mechanics talk and speculation? It was a brief conversation last night that really hasn't carried over to today. Don't really see what the big issue is to quickly speculate on the role flip and come to the conclusion that we need more information.
 
Lynch genny

Could back a SAR vote and to a much lesser extent a Jboo vote.
 
Been IRL busy, as I normally am during the day, but also trying to finalize my thesis data this week. Also about to board a flight and will be making a lynch vote since I land after it closes on the west coast.

How would that start a chaos hunt? That makes no sense

It's pretty relevant because it has a large impact on VCA, Emmy's vote in particular.
@emlady09 what are your reads?

###lynch stagg##

Stagg, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt having been gone all day and didn't want to hop on his bandwagon "just because."
MPM, wasn't really feeling there is anything there and Barks gave a soft vouch for her so I'm letting that sit for now

Doggo just jumped out at me as something not feeling right. Granted she hardly posted, but immediately jumped on Zig for her interactions, which to me seemed like normal Zig (after seeing how she plays in a few games). She also gave no attempts to defend herself, even if it was only 10 min left until closing.

Hey so I got delayed n1 results. What do you guys think about a silver dude who forces role names from players?

What makes you think there is an item thief, aside from the obvious. What do they seem to be after?


So I'm suspicious of Mel based on some info I received N1 and the N2 results. I received information with the words "shadiest" and "companions," which leads me to believe Mel may wolfier than we think.

I'm going to put my vote here

Lynch Mel

You intercepted the note that dubz sent me saying that I should look into my "shadiest companions" which was code for the 4/5 of us that call each other the sketch masons (AM, Paws, Coffee, Stagg, and Myself)
 
Genny is giving me feels, but I admit it is most likely just because of our interaction and her assertion that if you have to make assumptions about things, then it's useless when literally that's what we're all doing. So not sure how much of that is legit. Probably not much. Also, dubz did the same thing and was village.

C? did seem to jump ship and waffle at the end, which did look like she was trying to save someone. I apologize if I missed the explanation for that.

Mel still has the same thing for me for jumping on zig when zig's behavior has been very normal. But again, I have no clue what normal looks like there, so I just have to leave it as feels.

Have to look back through and see the rest.

What besides the obvious are you looking for here as an answer?

And why would people want to say what valuable items they have? That's like walking into a Thieves Anonymous meeting and saying "HEY I HAVE THIS PRICELESS REMBRANDT AT HOME AND I'M GOING ON VACATION ON FRIDAY AND HAVE NO SECURITY SYSTEM, I SURE HOPE NO ONE TAKES IT"
 
Lynch miz

I don’t like that he jumped on the doggo bandwagon and I don’t like that he kept saying he wasn’t voting for Stagg because he was finding other alternatives but from what I read that never happened
Try a different droid. I told you three or four different times what my reasoning for being reluctant to lynch Stagg was. Just because it isn't your ideal line of reasoning doesn't make it poor reasoning. I never said that he actually brought out other alternatives. I said he was actively LOOKING for other alternatives.

Also, I'm a she.
 
I will confirm there was a minor mess up on night 1 results, which has now been rectified (aka I am confirming mod error with Genny's above post)
 
Why does you being blocked make you village?
I'm saying that it's worth looking into a blocker and if we know who a blocker is there's a decent chance they're the 'dark presence' blocker that blocked me. This isn't related to my 'wolfiness' at all, although if we'd like to go down that road I've already vouched my ability to my group.

This is a large game. There is a definite possibility that there is a protagonistic blocker and an antagonistic blocker. Regardless of affiliation, blockers are roles that I feel hinder the village more often than helping the village. That's just my personal opinion on that.

Was it MPM that claimed they could ’block’?
 
She wrote that making that assumption makes the whole post worthless. Not sure how else to interpret that.
I feel like my point was missed. I said caveat, not assumption. The caveat makes the post say essentially nothing. But this is a silly thing to argue about so I’m going to drop it. I don’t feel like it’s productive, especially since the whole thing was started as me responding to Pippy on a completely different line of thinking.

The prevetties proudly approve! :heckyeah:

I think that just leaves me, MJ, Mel, M935, Navi, Stagg, Cheezit, STL, LIS, SOV, RM and cubs as the guys here 🙁
 
Ahem...Please don't lynch me. I would 'block' you if I could!😉😉😉😉😉
Yeah, I could go genny. She has been kinda fluffy, and it would be a better place to land on D1 than me... who is unfortunatley on the chopping 'block'😉
I always get defensive when I am about to die... I try to 'block' people from choosing me, but it seems I just dig my own grave, and fall in it since I'm clumsy
 
how do you feel about barky's strong vouch for her?
I'd like barky to explain a bit more, or I'd like MPM to explain a bit more. Especially since right now this is the only real, solid 'proof' of sorts that I have available that's different from minor feelz. I'll switch my vote off if there's any sort of evidence or confirmation that MPM wasn't the one that blocked me.
