I'm trying to catch up and I've hella processed what I've read as evidenced today no less. And I made an effort to drop a vote based on what I have so far, and it is frakking done with some consideration.

I didn't want to vote to clinch AMSAR's death who was in the lead when I looked. Between my top suspicions, I looked at who voted for who where and went there.

Navy much?

lol. Uh, yes? After nearly 7 years of using military time, it's a hard habit to break lol.

 

[cdo96]

Lay off those margaritas and stop making me jealous 😛

Fight me, bitch 😉

 

[JustPaws]

@cdoconn can you please change the order of Matt and am so that Lynch analysis shows an voted for grebes after Matt?

 

[Lawpy]

 

[Crayola227]

Mine should have counted

 

[cdo96]

Mine should have counted

Yours is on there

Thanks @cdoconn

 

[grebes4lyfe]

I can now get in the shower.
Good job lynching a villager to quench your own curiosity.

I suggest y’all look hard at the people on my lynch vote.

Thar be wolves in them parts.

Oh well sorry

 

[finnickthedog]

After another dog disappeared in the night, the dogs came together again to discuss who might responsible. They hoped that they would get it right this time. As the day wore on, several dogs were under heavy suspicion. AMSAR was one of these dogs. They didn't trust her and they were about to drag her away... but then they changed their minds.

They changed their minds and they made one mod sad.

They made Finn very sad.

And with that, some of you may know exactly what breed they chose to drag away...

Spoiler

Gone is @grebes4lyfe - an Australian Shepherd and a villager who would herd anyone that approached her at night into a PM

It is now Night 3. Night deadline is 1 am EST.

I mean, it's like D2. Statistically, we were way more likely to lynch a villager.

 

[PippyPony]

Ah I had a feeling that breed was either going to be guaranteed village or the alpha.

 

[Coopah]

Welp, AM was sketch af so contingency lynch AM

 

[Coopah]

Ah I had a feeling that breed was either going to be guaranteed village or the alpha.

How'd you know the breed?

Edit: and why didn't you share that info before?

 

[Caiter92]

Wtf didn’t grebes role reveal. No way would Finn make an Aussie a wolf (unless it was Maxwell @finnickthedog 😛 ).

 

[Animal Midwife]

Welp, AM was sketch af so contingency lynch AM

Don't worry. You'll be next. 😀

 

[Caiter92]

How'd you know the breed?

Edit: and why didn't you share that info before?

Because Finn loves Aussies. And Icies.

 

[JustPaws]

Welp, AM was sketch af so contingency lynch AM

So you don't believe she's a PR?

 

[PippyPony]

How'd you know the breed?

Edit: and why didn't you share that info before?

I didn't?

I know how Finn feels about Aussies. That is all.

 

[Coopah]

I didn't?

I know how Finn feels about Aussies. That is all.

Oh from the write up!

 

[Lawpy]

Contingency lynch AMSAR

 

[JustPaws]

So how likely is it that both PM roles are village?

 

[Caiter92]

How'd you know the breed?

Edit: and why didn't you share that info before?

It was pretty obvious Grebes was a heardig breed. They just never said which one.

 

[PippyPony]

Oh from the write up!

...From years of knowing her and watching videos of her Aussies on snapchat...? I'm not sure what you're going on about

 

[Coopah]

So you don't believe she's a PR?

I believe she is sketchy af especially after that lynch. And skim so vehemently accusing her, and everything.

 

[PippyPony]

So how likely is it that both PM roles are village?

They do have different functionality from the way they are described. One is passive, one is active.

 

[Coopah]

...From years of knowing her and watching videos of her Aussies on snapchat...? I'm not sure what you're going on about

No I was wondering how you knew grebs was that breed before the write up? Did you?

 

[Coopah]

So you don't believe she's a PR?

Also she probably does have a PR, just not necessarily a village one. Eh honestly, I might change my mind. We'll see how things go

 

[Lawpy]

2 pages behind and still catching up, but for now satisfied with where my vote is sitting.

Have you caught up?

 

[PippyPony]

No I was wondering how you knew grebs was that breed before the write up? Did you?

Nope, I read the write up and saw "Aussie," and then commented on what I had been speculating about that particular breed in my own head prior to this lynch write up.

 

[JustPaws]

They do have different functionality from the way they are described. One is passive, one is active.

I've definitely seen the active one as a wolf role and also matching roles been one wolf and one village. How often are they both village in the same game?

 

[PippyPony]

I've definitely seen the active one as a wolf role and also matching roles been one wolf and one village. How often are they both village in the same game?

I dunno, I put in duplicative roles into my game design on purpose.

 

[Crayola227]

I mean, it's like D2. Statistically, we were way more likely to lynch a villager.

Lol this is basically true all the way up to parity and losing the game. Village needs to be better than blind chance.

But yeah

 

[Caiter92]

@SportPonies

@ziggyandjazzy

Care to share more about this PM role?

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

@SportPonies

@ziggyandjazzy

Care to share more about this PM role?

I am not caught up on this thread at all but I got the tag. The mods just set up a PM for us and told us we could talk.

 

[SportPonies]

I've put duplicates in as well.

 

[SportPonies]

@SportPonies

@ziggyandjazzy

Care to share more about this PM role?

I shared everything about it earlier, when I quoted you last time.

 

[Caiter92]

I shared everything about it earlier, when I quoted you last time.

Went and found that. It was Allie you responded to before. Sorry I missed that.

I do think it’s unlikely for two villagers to have exactly the same ability.

 

[PippyPony]

I do think it’s unlikely for two villagers to have exactly the same ability.

They don't, though.

idk, clearly I'm reasonably ok with a Sporty lynch, but I don't think it should be based off of role alone.

It feels weird to me that both of you are trying to push that logic so hard

 

[allieh8607]

For now until I have more info: Lynch Sporty

For real tin-foily reasons which I may expand upon later.

2 pages behind and still catching up, but for now satisfied with where my vote is sitting.

Are you going to expand upon your sporty theories and your thoughts about how the lynch played out? I see you posting in other threads.

 

[SportPonies]

Went and found that. It was Allie you responded to before. Sorry I missed that.

I do think it’s unlikely for two villagers to have exactly the same ability.

oh, sorry. Your avatars have vaguely similar color schemes.

 

[Coopah]

Ok lynch is over people just went and pissed off I suppose. Now then let's look

grebes (7) - Beagle, Coop, Barkley, Capri, lawper, Matt, AMSAR

Matt and AM were last but Matt was waffling because he didn't want to tie but still minor sketch points here. AM was self prez

Lawp was sketchy sheeping
Capri- eh I'll have to look her over, she's been liking a lot of my stuff so that's weird.
Barkly - eh quiet noob I might as well be blindfolded and deaf I got nothing
Beagle- honestly freaks me out when I see a noob playing well.
Coop- srsly sketch

Sooooo that wasn't helpful to me. Anyone else? I'm down for lynching everyone on that list right now.

 

[Caiter92]

They don't, though.

idk, clearly I'm reasonably ok with a Sporty lynch, but I don't think it should be based off of role alone.

It feels weird to me that both of you are trying to push that logic so hard

I’m not trying to push anything?

From what I can tell, she can choose someone to open a PM with. That’s very similar to grebes .

I’m even more sketched about AM after her not posting anything to try to get votes off her until the last few minutes of a lynch she was in the lead of. So she’s still top for me right now.

 

[JustPaws]

They don't, though.

idk, clearly I'm reasonably ok with a Sporty lynch, but I don't think it should be based off of role alone.

I'm just trying to reason it out. I don't trust my possible pm partners so I did it on thread lol

 

[capri1722]

oh, sorry. Your avatars have vaguely similar color schemes.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does this lol

 

[Stagg737]

I'm finally caught up. Long post ahead. Sorry, not sorry.

 

[Stagg737]

Quoting this for later. Not something I'm reading into a ton right now, but I think this will be relevant later.

I'm not even sure one of them is lying.

If, for example, we could nail things down to them being blocked by a wolf blocker who's still out there, it would mean a ~mild~ village checkmark to each/either of them.

And if we were able to eventually lynch that wolf blocker and saw that they got a double block EON or something...I think it would mean a slightly bigger village checkmark on the people who have been blocked.

On the other hand, if we have no more double blocks, and we later lynch a wolf blocker, then I think I would be more inclined to lynch one of the two of them, because either they were blocked by a suspicious Mel & it went through even though he died, or one of them is lying.

Just so I am clear, it's pretty bad we have lost the blocker and protector so early, right?

Yes.

I'm sure you've gotten comments about this from other players by now, but I would appreciate slightly fewer didactic posts and more strategy posts. It's not that your didactic posts are bad or wrong, just that they could be easy cover for a woof and I'd like to hear more of your thoughts because you are an insightful player from what I've seen

Fair. Not trying to be "overly didactic/teachy", but I feel like there have been some fairly bad mistakes made already and I'd like us to have fewer of them. Except from the wolves, they can make as many mistakes as they want (bring on the Rojos!).

Is it a faux pas to reveal who you Pm'd with?

Imo generally not. If it reveals your PR or another player's PR though I'd generally advise against it.

Dude seriously? Her role was already outted! Tell me I just missed something and you're saying in general and not this specific case

You missed something and I was talking about in general.

Please, do expand on these thoughts

Can't remember what I wanted to respond to. Will go back and look then edit this...

The role is nai but if she did create the pm, why pick a noob? Usually if I can pm I pick someone I trust or at least interpret well, have experience with. I'm curious if she opened a pm with cray, MJ, or lawper. Maybe she didn't trust them or me, and felt a noob would be easier to interpret

This is an interesting point and Zigs seems like an odd choice to open a PM with.

I don’t like the bulk posts, and I legit don’t get why it seems to be such a common method. But whatevs

Because some people take forever to catch up on and have a lot to catch up on. When I started catching up I was on pg 14 and there were only 16 pages. Now we're on pg 19 and I had to do things at home with the wife and baby while trying to catch up. Hence, bulk posts. Or I could just hit reply to everything I feel like responding to as I go, but then I'm replying to a lot of things that have been addressed (I've deleted several quotes from this post). Maybe I should just not say anything at all?

What do you want me to address? My ability is to PM. I put in my request at night, and the PM is opened by a mod during the day cycle. My PMs stay open for the entirety of that day and the following night. I opened the PM with ziggy because I jive well with the way she's been playing the noob game.

How did you feel about Grebes' ability claim? How do you feel about the situation now that she has flipped village and PR confirmed?
