do you think it’s in his wolf range to push me this hard?

I have not seen him wolf, unless it was like 10 years ago in some game I don't remember

but he's a very good player who has never struck me as cowardly in and sense so sure?

[Raskolnikov]

anyone have thoughts on this?

but like you did the same? (backed off him for weak reasons)

[Sunbae]

sunbae, what do you think of zack and benneh independent of a possible association between them?

I think they've both showed a lot of patience towards me and perhaps I was being a bit unfair in my concerns. My current realization is that despite me jumping up and down a lot, they've not just focused on me and instead have been trying to poke and prod in other places. I think it's probably pretty easy as a wolf to just focus on me/my pushes in this game state but they've humored me, given me space, and searched elsewhere.

I'm currently mulling over your assessment that it's all villagers in our little four group, because neb seems to mostly like you except for the me/you unaligned thing (and I didn't hate that personally cause I scoffed at the idea we're ever a pair myself so it might just be an inside/outside difference), I've kind of realized/put together that I can't really see what their goals are as wolves with how they've approached today, and they both like each other so far. So it might be one of those games where 3 villagers find each other quickly and it takes a while for me to get there because i wolf read some of those interactions when the reality is they just feel good and vibe together.

who pushed hard who?

Can you be less theatric Hally, I wasn't informed I was going to assist a show. I need my popcorn tbh ()

[Raskolnikov]

anyone with meta on Vulguard?

[Zack]

fwiw I am a little concerned benneh got cleared a bit too easily but I'm not interested in going there today regardless and I don't think I could even explain why other than vibes/good ol paranoia

i’ve seen him wolf on MU and iirc he had good tone but his posting was more milquetoast and i don’t remember him making hard pushes like this

as i said i'm not really sure why i got cleared. i think i'm extreeeeeeeeeemely within my wolf range atm

but when ur right ur right so idc

[Hally]

ftr i’m not strongly town reading zack and benneh to the point where i’d be surprised if they’re wolves, i’m more so just rolling with them as villagers for today because i feel like it

[Hally]

who pushed hard who?

Can you be less theatric Hally, I wasn't informed I was going to assist a show. I need my popcorn tbh ()

you’ve pushed me pretty lol

idk what you’re talking about

[Sunbae]

Vote: Vulgard

[Hally]

you’ve pushed me pretty lol

idk what you’re talking about

*pretty hard

[Hally]

ah, the good ole “wait people are voting with me now what if i’m wrong”

how i’ve missed you

[Hally]

sunbae might be my top villager now honestly

how the turns have tabled

[Raskolnikov]

why are you ignoring everything else i said in the post and just focusing on that?

lol I am not. I just reread the whole vulgard and his chat with Ender. Now I can tell you I don't think Ender came in with a pretty hard defense. He just went in with a "f it, I have every rights to ask for a chill game, it doesn't make me a wolf, back off" post and vulgard gave in. which was a reasonnable move (because nobody wants to be toxic in a "small casual game " I guess)

So he could be a wolf (the only thing I liked was that he couldn't articulate his reads lol).

But so could you (as you did exactly the same. Like pushed him, got a weak sauce reply - I don't know why I have these reads, I just have them - backed off). I am not focusing here. On contrary, I try to zoom out.

the key difference between what i did and what vul did is vul used his interaction with ender to pivot to voting me for “gamestate”

idk why you’re conflating the two

[Raskolnikov]

you’ve pushed me pretty lol

idk what you’re talking about

I was confused by Zack pocketing me

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Do they sell some with a big giant wolf on it?

[Hally]

rask what are your reads besides me?

[Zack]

I am going to village read this. I know, embarrassing.

I really don't believe these are real reads on Monty rn lol.

expanding on why I said I'd spank rask's bum if vulgard is a wolf and hally isn't earlier:

these posts (and the subsequent jump on hally's wagon for imo kinda silly reasons) really scream agenda'd posting in that world, and honestly might just be plain wolfy regardless

[Raskolnikov]

Zack and Ender prolly OK (good tone - yeah - and no agenda). El Barto too (meta read)
benneh/sunbae/vulgard null
Monty I want to punt but wouldn't because of low posting and my history of reading him.

[Zack]

zack

not going here d1: ender/hally/sunbae

ok for now but don't feel great about it: benneh/monty

rask

vulgard/barto

[Zack]

El Barto too (meta read)

go on...

i think rask could be a wolf if vul is, yeah

if vul’s not i don’t really think it makes sense to go so hard on me over vul though? vul is definitely the easier push

i agree rask’s reasoning for pushing me is bad though

hey look Zack, I may be really wrong. Take these posts from Vulgard for instance, I know they are very easy to do as a wolf, moreso when cornered, but I still recognize they will statiscallly come from a villager more often than not. RE Hally, maybe she is a villager, but spent most of the day going for opportunistic stuff (Monty, Tak, vulgard) and imo defended badly to the different pushes.

zack

vulgard/barto

i was thinking on if vul/barto could just be the team but not sure barto would opt to vote benneh there when his teammate vul is getting run up
