alright now that everyone's checked in yall can vote eachother

True. We could do that in theory. What were those after party thoughts?

[nebjiamn]

real talk for a second but i have another bbq to attend this evening and then a flight to catch tomorrow around noon so i won't really have much time to dedicate to 'casing' much, whether that be wolf casing or villa casing myself

having said that, yesterday i thought would have made it easier because i've pretty much had the team as sk/cuth/X with x being winston/katze and some light paranoia elsewhere that has mostly been resolved. and with the good vibes i got from katze yesterday before yoling and giving them the hammer i'd have probably just said its always winston in this f3

but honestly rereading over yesterday and the game with everyones alignments in mind except you two just left me more confused. there's a lot to what katze was saying about how manipulative achro felt yesterday. i was feeling it too but i mostly shrugged it off because cuth felt like the wolf in that cross who was resigned to his fate. i thought that was obvious to both me and katze but i probably would not have given katze the hammer at the time if i knew they were as conflicted about achro as they were because, again, at the time, it just felt obvious

but maybe it was designed that way? SK was obviously dead meat the day he died, but i think cuth was equally done? and if im going to be a villager who doesn't just throw f3 i have to consider a world where achro and cuth designed yesterday to feel not w/w because that is exactly how it felt but its hard for me to imagine cuth thinking he wouldn't be voted

cuth danced around katze quite a bit. obviously they were trying to buy /earn their vote. in the world that winston is a villager, why doesn't cuth lean harder on winston the way they did w/ katze, especially given what winston mentioned was his early preference (achro/katze, who in this world would be w/v pairing)

in the world winston is a wolf, where is the alignment between cuth/winston? this pairing just doesn't make much sense in that way but maybe thats just winston?

achro has lots to look good for. overall villagery throughout the game but some questionable accuracy. lots of volatility in his reads and re-evaluations -- which i think probably means >rand v here given what i saw in the prevoius org game -- and again, the stuff yesterday looks unpairing with cuth

but there's the problem, cause i'm a villager and one of these unpairings is just manufactured and untrue

so anyway

i thought yesterday would provide clarity and give me confidence especially when katze was clear but i feel more liekly to want to enact winston's method of just flipping a coin here to decide who the wolf is between yall but i know thats super dumb and if i get it wrong i'll regret opting for that instead of, yknow, playing the game

but then i say to myself

counterpoint: its worked (so far)

[nebjiamn]

i also think it would just be super funny if winston is a wolf who 'randed' (whether real or not) his votes the last two days onto wolves and then i did it today and it landed on v!achro

it might be even funnier if it lands on w!achro but there's less self deprecation for me in that scenario so i'm not sure which is actually funnier

anyway im not doing that
maybe

[nebjiamn]

i don't really have many questions for either of you

achro cause i feel like you've answered most everything anyway the last few days and if i want to i can go read those novels

winston cause i doubt you'll post much anyway

and also i don't find that kind of stuff helpful to me in f3 as i believe the solve is already in the game thread up to now

but here and happy to answer questions until i have to go. i'm just gonna be rereading and trying to sortout who i think the wolf is and then try to muster up the courage to vote before i have to go to this bbq
