what do you make of jans first real post being a smackdown on ender?
this game has been very fun and the org games remain goated. i have played what is likely a bottom 10% villa game so far but I will do my best to clutch it out at the end. I think if I get today wrong it will not be on anyone else but myself. Everyone here has plenty of villagery posting.
man i thought you would read my wall at the very least lol, i explained it there
reflecting on this in hindsight i think theres a lot of wanting lissa to be v but its what i felt at the time at least. i need to reread things again and get a feeling for the timing of how things played outLissa: lissa is a funny one, if you look at d1 in isolation you could convince me she is a wolf - i came out pushing her a bit late d1 and early d2 in part because i don't think she really kicked on to anything - she felt like a sidelines/commentary character at that point. going into d2 i was expecting some heat there and she played in a way that is close to my heart - for the last while i have been very busy and it has been hard for me to play ww, sometimes i play a game and i just cant get a handle on it because i am not able to get invested or really absorb what people are posting. but occasionally i try to just focus in on one read that i am confident in v or w and push that because that is the only lifeline i have found that i can cling onto. sometimes i will do these things in mashes too when the game is too fast for my advanced years lol. when i saw her push on jan, i felt that kind of emotion, even if it isn't necessarily what lissa was doing, but because i have been there so many times over the last couple years that i saw myself there in what she was doing and it made me step back a bit and reconsider my push.
you could absolutely make the argument she bussed - the typical lines like one strong read, no real wavering, etc. i think (as i mentioned earlier) that holistically theres an argument for it and lissa is definitely canny enough to pull off the bus, but on an emotional level for me despite her d1, it is hard for me to get over seeing that line of play and coming away not village reading her. i think her play today has also similarly had an emotive level to it that she FEELS she is clear, particularly noting her bite back to rask earlier today. if shes a wolf shes fuckin me over like that thing game, which is unfortunate lol, but shes played well.
no i read it (i believe that was the walls we xposted!) i just wanted to know how you feel right now once maple flipped v
heres where i am at now, apologies for jumbled mess of thoughts incoming:
i am torn between lissa voting jan being both villagery and wolfy, villagery because like duh obviously, it killed a wolf, wolfy because it came as a strong read, arguably the only strong read of substance lissa has had this game, when lissa was getting some heat and under the pump of the thread. back in the day i would've just probably locked lissa as a villager, because she usually struggled to bus and specifically would struggle to bus with any strength, however, when she schooled the fuck out of me in that thing game, she showed me that she has move far beyond where she used to be in terms of handling both wolf partners and pressure in thread. my heart wants her to be v, because she correctly found me as v in a position where i concede it could be difficult to do so, and the fact that we had similar thoughts at the same times on a variety of topics that didnt feel like she was trying to align herself with me.
my head knows that this kind of setup is the kind of setup that can win a game though, so its something i will be revisiting later tonight.

Im going to iso each individual player now. I will not be pulling quotes as I got. I will also be periodically doing horses (i got two different 9 star one today!!!) and getting food so I will be in the mines for a while.
"i want to believe" is something i understand very well this game LOL
the support is worth so much more than the horses and i wish i knew that at the start :(
What if the plan was always to have Jan die?
@EnderWiggin
Where are you at
gm
prolly sunbae, i need to look at some stuff and sort thru my thoughts more tho
honestly i wasnt even really surprised maple flipped v at all deep down i kinda expected it
i was lamenting not doing anything about it but idk that it was possible or useful and idk that i could have truly ever /cleared/ her so bleh
from my rereading, ender + jan would be fairly weird
wanna look at it again to feel more strongly about it, i think
Hi lissa
Where you at rn
I'm fried and so are my horses lol
my immediate reaction to the flip was basically: i kinda expected this on some level, i wish i did something with that, i think we're living in the sunbae/ladd hellworld
i still lean that but i need to really solidify it, delve deep on you to make sure i'm not misclearing you, delve deep on ender to make sure i'm not removing those worlds for bad reasons, just generally kinda look at a bunch of stuff again
i mean we lose the game on the spot if you're a wolf there though, i'm not voting before you sorry lmao
i'm squinting at that pretty hard, that only works to lock clear you if we decide we're willing to lose the game if you're a wolf already in the first place..
to be clear, the reason that makes me a villager isn't that i couldn't do any of that as a wolf, because i absolutely could
the reason that makes me a villager is it's simply not what i /would/ have done there as a wolf; it was a day before mylo potentially. the most likely line i take is simply trying to kill a villager. i'm perfectly capable of bussing and reading a room for when bussing is optimal, and i actually don't think it was there. people were sorta all over the place. elim a villa, holster the parting, go to mylo, imo if i never brought jan into focus that was very very possible in a me/jan world
the SECOND most likely line i take is committing to killing jan at the eod instead of having him use the parting gift (this one doesn't really work very well in an ender also w world obv but i think that should clearly not be the world for other reasons anyway)
obv thats all kinda levels but shrug
i also think the way jan posted at me earlier in the game was pretty unpaired
i still think visor is a villa atm
i need to get some food and then in a few im gonna go drive around a quiet road
and then when i get back ill dig into things
Alright I'm gonna head to bed
Want to hear from ender at the very least before I vote
counterargument: play to win (clearing me in games im a villager when im likely to get mischopped in f3 even if we get it right today) rather than play not to lose (not giving me the hammer because itd be sad if i were a wolf)
counterargument 2: itd be such a hype play we'd all keep mentioning it in the future. "member that time you voted no wolves, everyone thought you were a wolf, but we yolo'd and gave you the hammer and cleared you and we ended up winning? that was cool" coming to a dvc conversation near you in 2028
counterargument 3: it would absolutely hilarious to give me the hammer, get mega hyped about yolo clearing me, and then i vote wrong anyways. Peak comedy.
Any of these swaying you?
Here's the problem with that to me: I am struggling to find Ladd wolf in this situation after reading his early game. He's villa reading Waza, Cape, Rask. He's voting Jan. He's refusing my Jan shield and voting Jan anyways.
If you are a villager and Visor is a villager then not only is the team Ladd/Ender but we have to somehow convince each other (me, you, visor) on the ones we are right about while pushing each other off the ones we are wrong about. Ya'll would need to convince me on Ladd while I convince yall on Ender.
It's not impossible but we have a lot of cooperative work to do if that's going to be the case and I'm not really sure where to start on there (which circles us back around to I think the best chance for us to win is to give me the hammer and I have no idea how to achieve this goal)
Argument that Ladd/Me world does not exist: A total lack of team cohesiveness. If Ladd is a wolf then he is clearly playing a pro villa game where he is clearing villagers under concern while pushing Jan from the get go. However neither Jan nor I are playing in a similar way. If I'm a wolf I am being massively pro-wolf where I push Waza then Rask then Maple. Jan was not playing pro village in that instance either. Yet in this case Ladd would not have anything negative towards me when people have found me wolfy from the get go? That the game plan would be for Ladd to be pro-villa while I'm pro-wolf but never have anything in the first two days for Ladd to point to about me?
I don't think any of that holds water.
yeah i mean its a fair play if you are a villager, obv, been thinking about it while not itt and it's obviously a line that makes sense for you here in that world, was just kinda weirded out at you not acknowledging more the part where it /does/ require betting the game on you v in order to confirm you v
