Casual 9er Game Thread

[Montmorency]

Also he fits really well into IAWY's famous "vibe tell" about wolves who are there but I can't remember much about their stances without going back and checking their ISO.

Interesting concept.

i dont really know how to convey this to the thread in a convincing way but i think its likely zack/barto/X

game just felt static. dadv basically. i felt good about vulgard for a while but as we approached eod i realized there was no friction in the game which meant if he had a partner they'd given up on him long ago and that just didn't feel right?

ngl, part of it was also just me memeing to myself that i was creature and being doom and gloom, but it was also a genuine thought i had

But the thing is, DADV means nothing in a mini, especially if there is an overwhelming consensus. Invoking DADV at that point over someone you ostensibly comfortably suspect just smacks of PIS.

speaking of monty, i have legit no idea what to do or how to parse his line about vulgard being the most obvious villager itt yesterday

None of you were outstanding townies, Vulgard posted unobjectionably for a townie, there were several better candidates = loltown.

I'm going to take a moment to just flesh out thoughts here:

- There are 7 of us left and I think I can remove quite a few w/w pairings. I don't think Benneh/Hally, Benneh/Zack, Ender/Hally, Ender/Zack, Hally/Barto, Hally/Mont, or Mont/Zack work.

Leaves me with Barto/Benneh, Barto/Ender, Barto/Mont, Barto/Zack, Benneh/Ender, Benneh/Mont, Ender/Mont, Hally/Zack

- Of these pairs, the ones I can see things as "possibly w/w" instead of just "not not w/w" if that makes sense are:

Barto/Benneh: Barto's fixation on Benneh vanity wagon while villagers are going at each other throughout the day + Benneh's calling it out near eod while the clock is winding down.

Barto/Ender: Ender has a few small defenses of Barto in relation to wolf pushes, like while Vulgard is getting wagoned and the thread thinks he's a wolf, saying "don't think vulgard/barto are w/w" as well as adding him to the no blast zone today.

Barto/Mont: The way Mont calls Barto's opening wolfy and but then uses it to try and vote me for Barto's way he talked to me and shade Zack for not catching that Barto is iffy already.

Hally/Zack: The way Hally has shifted from defending Zack to Ender (in relation to Neb) to shading Zack once Neb came in being concerned about Zack too and the way Zack didn't really want to engage me for a bit on Hally early.

- Using peoples posts in isolation, I don't think Ender is a wolf. I don't really thiiiink benneh is one either (talked about that a bit ago). I'm also not really sure I have Hally as a wolf (have talked about this a lot).

I think I want to just call the wolf team Mont/Barto

Good post, but I think if Barto were distancing or bussing Neb from D1-2 (premeditated), he would have done so more vigorously. Feels more like weak pseudo-distancing if m-Bart, intended to suppress the formation of associations broadly.

This is the post I was talking about. Think I villa read it initially for seeming like a real solve approach (like trying to take it from point a to point b to point c) but I think now it's just acknowledging a wolfy post and then trying to call out others from it

It's not a "wolfy post," it's just in Barto's scum meta for the way it was constructed (which no one else picked up on). Moreover, he just carried on making weak and tangential pushes with restrained analysis up to the present, also within meta. He could also just be incredibly bored I suppose.
