Night 2

For an apocalyptic wedding, things were going off without too much of a hitch: just the correct amount of hitching. Those in attendance had done a good job foiling the plans of The Powers That Be to allow the rest of the ceremony to proceed. The ring bearer was a fluffy blonde border collie in a suit who managed to get down the aisle without getting too distracted by offers of ear scratches. What a good boy.

Someone started to play Canon in D as the exit song. The brides shared a few quiet words, looked towards the back, and shrugged. Seemed this wasn't the planned exit song, but they took their time down the aisle anyway.

Then, near the back, the song took an erratic turn. It sounded like someone was just throwing in dissonance. Just a quick jog over the black keys once in a while. One of the brides clutched her heart. DON'T PEOPLE KNOW WHAT D MAJOR IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE? The tempo increased and so did her heart rate until she finally collapsed at the end of the aisle.

@Animal Midwife approached with a tentative toe poke. "Dead from too many flats," she tutted. What a shame, as she'd managed to wrangle her wife into being on time for the event.

Oho! Sketch mason.
 
Does anyone remember a recent-ish village!Cyndia game? I know she subbed into a village slot in Madagascar, but I'm hoping I can look at an OG one. I know she was in England, I just can't remember if there were any more recent ones.
I know she subbed into Madagascar. I think England is her most recent non-sub game though.
 
This has been bothering me since last night.

Chaos has been SUPER under my radar. This is good to know and pushes chaos into a slight wolf lean on my neutral list.
^ From Bioshock when I was thinking about whether Chaos was wolfing. I was also gif restricted at the time and not communicating clearly, although Dina was demonstrating a remarkable ability to translate my gif posts.
Shorty made a super compelling argument, but it's easy to get tricked by selective quote pulling, and since it's a tone read that would have been easily verifiable if I made the time to glance through those games she quoted from, I didn't want to follow it blindly yet. And like I said later, by calling it out, I was also kind of hoping it would save me the trouble of having to read the game if more than one other player could confirm that it wasn't selective quote pulling.
because it wasn't a super compelling argument that I made. It was literally a tone read. Based on a single wolfing. So I raised an eyebrow at the use of it here. It feels a little exaggerated for the argument I made, much like in Bioshock when my argument about Chaos (who was village) was essentially "I've played dumb as a wolf before and so could he." A little different this time because please was actually a wolf, but it caught my attention that she agreed with me strongly and then still used it to hedge and justify not voting please.

I wanted to see if the use of "super" was a little bit of a wolf tic for Cyndia, but at least based on the number of times she used it in Bioshock vs England, it's not. However, the context in which she uses it is different.

Ah the origins of the mind meld

other cyndia village games might require you to go back pretty far. I think she took a long hiatus?

Also thinking about the zenge kill N1 now with the sloth flip, cyndia would make the most sense because she hadn't played in a while, she might have been unaware zenge had been dying early recently just like she said she was unaware bread was an easy misyeet on D1
 
I am just going to put my vote down now and


###vote cyndia###


Might post some quotes that I have saved when I get home depending on my energy level (not sure if dose 3 or lack of sleep is making me tired)
 
It's not me. I was also blocked last night I think - I got some message about there being a constant ruckus outside my door and I woke up feeling groggy and unrested.
 
Yes, so one has to be a wolf block and the other a village block. And if your telling me a villager opted to do Cray instead of someone in the POE... That's very silly.

As far as I know the cray claim was N1. And in a game this size do you really think thered be that many action effectors? Its already small, why would there be 3 of those?

If no one comes forward, that's it. But it's easily provable either way.

Where's the N1 Cray claim? I was under the impression she was about to become blocked rather than was already blocked.

Would one of the mods ever release an unbalanced roster?
 
I'm also unsure how you're counting three blocks. I only count two maximum.

It's been a while.. looking at my messages, last games I played were the madagascar sub, england, hp speed game, bioshock, apocalypse, be thankful, back to skewwl, zoom
 
Why are you reading Mel village? You can tell me to go look if you've already said lol

Mama said burn your biographies, rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams
I think I did, but I can say it again after I finish something that I distracted myself from with this post.

Are you Panic! at the Disco post restricted?

N1 cray said she "had a cough" and assumed she may have been the delayed block. Then another wolf blocker flipped. A village blocker would be a 3rd action effector in a 14 player game which seems a bit excessive, although as bread pointed out who knows.

Where's number three though? Cray is one and Cyndia is the only other claimed block.

What if I just have a great appreciation for their music? 🤔
Also no one was post restricted yesterday right?

What are these footprints?
They don't look very human-like
Now I wish that I could find my clothes
Bedsheets and a morning rose
 
wolf action delayer, wolf blocker, and youre saying there could be a village blocker validating what cyndia is claiming.
Im confused because it says action delayer not delayed block but I'm not sure what action delayer means

Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
 
I buy that cray was delay blocked by sloth N1 with the cough description. Did anyone else get a similarly described block to what I had on N1? I don't think mine was a delayed action or anything since I didn't get any notifications on N1.
 
Why are you reading Mel village? You can tell me to go look if you've already said lol
I don't have a particularly strong reason to. His VCA is bad. He hasn't really been around that much. But that being said, from my experience of playing with a wolf!Mel in HZD, he was much more aggressive with and committed to pushes than I'm seeing here. He's had a few posts that felt really similar to what I've seen village!Mel do in recent games:

*Sigh* I forgot he just modded

Unvote Cubs

vote shorty



I don't like shorty egging Cubs on but not putting her money where her mouth Is. If you think his votes D1 have been pretty good lately then either sheep him or discuss why you think he's right or wrong about his current D1 vote, don't just cheer him on from the sidelines.
Sheeping's not my thing, and someone having good reads in some other games isn't reason enough for me to jump on a vote for someone who is always sketch-read when I haven't gotten any sketch vibes.
Then why not mention that or at least attempt some discussion? Right now it just reads like “let’s throw some gas on the flames and see where this vote for an easily misvoted player goes.”
Cool. Let me believe you about your own meta, that’s never bit anyone in the ass before lol

This is literally the exact behavior I caught wolf!April on last game so I’m happy with this vote for D1.

And this interaction we had about Zenge felt more to me like he was actually trying to understand what triggers me about village!Zenge's posts, although in going through his posts to find this, I discovered there's not any follow-up, so that could be me ascribing tone that I shouldn't assume.
I'm actually getting more concerned about Zenge, but it's mainly because he hasn't pinged me yet and that's UNUSUAL if he's village but I tend to lose my mind about Zenge on D2 anyway, so I'm not ready to vote there.
He feels pretty low-key village. I liked some of his posts questioning barks and cubs; as well as his whole cyndia spiel. What usually pings about him for you when he's village?

Idk. It just doesn't have the same feel that I got when Mel was wolfing in HZD. I don't know how busy he was during that game, so it could be a function of that? But I'm more uncomfortable with Cyndia with him.
