For the record, I have this opinion specifically because of the nightkills - Min and lol are both distinctly people who are opinionated and can control conversation, the kind of people who wouldn’t be as influenced by loud wolves. I don’t really see much other reason to kill them specifically? I’m open to other interpretations, though.
may’s handling of her me/kt world has just felt… ick. it’s been stagnant, to the point that it’s seemed like she’s just voting whichever of us she can get away with at any given time. afaict the most she justified the two of us actually being connected was just… quoting a bunch of posts where i gave thoughts on kt, and i mean, ok some things are hard to explain, but really, that’s the magic clue you found that’s letting you spend the rest of the game treading water?
where’d the creative hyperactive d1 may go i miss that may
like lmao this post is so empty and it’s where she thinks she’s struck gold. i might be biased, but the “once i’ve built a world i tunnel it” seems unprompted and self aware, like she just had to preemptively say “no guys, look, this wolfy thing i’m doing is actually nai for me”.
I’m frustrated by it as well. I’d love to be able to engage with everything properly and make good reads, but I’m just… a lot slower than I normally am. I’m still capable of literally playing the game and all, but I just… feel helpless like this. I spent over two avoiding this particular illness and yet here I am.
The fact that everything I’ve been doing has been under this state, however, does mean I’m very open to changing my mind upon seeing new cases, I just… need to see them, and thread’s been pretty sluggish. Honestly, my read on Molly’s pretty much entirely deteriorated, as have my reads on the rest of the game, and I was clinging to it more than I should’ve earlier, mostly because I wanted to have a read.
Note for tomorrow May: get back to the chart of just systemically going through every possible wolfteam in the game and figuring out which are plausible, that’s the only way you’re going to come at the game from a proper perspective and figure out who you want to flip. Hopefully there’ll be time to do that before EoD.
How the hell am I supposed to not agree with her, she’s fucking right - I’m handling her slot wrong regardless of if she’s wolf or not. I’m not even trying to like, convince other people of the read, I’m just sitting here in the background letting people misvote Eliza or whatever. I’m not playing the game well!! I’m just not!!!
The fact that she tends to pop in, focus on the fact that I handle her slot poorly, and leave doesn’t inspire confidence in me, of course. It feels like… it’s low-hanging fruit, easy to focus on if you’re wolf, that sort of thing. I get some level of it, but the focus on me specifically feels… odd? Her most recent PoE looks like this:
Like, I’m not in the bottom of this, and yet I’ve not heard nearly as many thoughts from Molly on Magnus or Lemon, or the Eliza flip, or what specifically Illwei has done recently that’s AI, or any of that, just about how I’ve played the game poorly (which is true but also easy to notice).
I’d like to hear her thoughts (your thoughts, if you’re reading this, Molly, which I assume you are) on how a world where I’m wolf fits into the rest of the game - who my potential partners would be, that sort of thing, to sort of… make it less isolated of a read. If I’m wolf, I’ve certainly done stuff that indicates my partners, so iso me and figure out who they are. Of course, I know I’m town, so I don’t think it’s particularly productive on a base level, but I like seeing how people tie others together.
I think people need to throw hammers [EDIT: Not hammers in the voting sense don’t do that] at me to motivate me to play the game properly. None of this “oh May’s like third in my PoE” bullshit. I want you to directly fucking wallpost about exactly how wolfy I am right this instant and then I go oh well someone here is wrong on the internet and THAT activates my WiM. If you’re talking about anyone else I don’t know for sure whether you’re wrong or not so I don’t care
illwei’s seemed really villagery since eod yesterday, really free-flowy and constantly going between drastically different angles to look at, but still, like, actually considering and comparing each, and seeing how the theories affect each other, it just seems hard for a wolf
kt’s been consistently really proactive and creative in a similar way, and he has this kind of, i’m not sure if this makes sense but villagery exasperation? it makes me feel like he really, well, wants it more.
i still think there’s plenty wolfy about lemon. i also just… don’t feel like she has the attitude of a wolf in her spot, and over today/yesterday i’ve kinda thought she doesn’t know my alignment.
i’ve had individual one-off reasons to townread magnus, but it’s never really gotten past that to anything macro, and at this point in the game i feel like that’s not enough. i don’t feel like he’s had the follow-through on wanting his reads to be listened to for someone who’s cased a bunch of people as emphatically as he has this game.
may. oh dear.
apparently you’re a wagon now for some reason? lol. think you’ve been villagery and unaligned from the flipped wolf, simple.
ybw has been villagery in an “i wanna save the village single-handedly” way, and she’s been frequently shielding me at times where it’s been really, really unnecessary.
yeah obviously i’m gonna try but it’s just not my specialty, and when i feel like i’ve had a long game of pushing a ton of people for reasons that seem strong to me, but there are too many to all be right (read: this game), i feel like i don’t have good footing on wolf reads until i see some really, really obvious wolf.
the rest of this post is a bunch of trivial shit that’s just flooding my plate more than actually being meaningful, like it’s a bunch of “this progression doesn’t happen” followed by “ok i found the post where the progression happened but now i don’t like it anyway”. stop it.
i hate to disappoint you with the reality that i didn’t leave i just type slow lmfao
i don’t preflip unless it’s like, i have a lock wolf and people are killing someone i think is unaligned from them, or i have a lock wolf and think i might die before i can out spew reads. soz. but i’ll indulge a bit.
i think you could push kt the way you have, but the way he more or less looked in your direction, nodded, and took it lying down, didn’t seem aligned. just felt more like kt being “at your mercy” than w/w with you. i’m uh, struggling to remember how you’ve interacted with other players, all i remember from you recently is the me/kt stuff lol.
Also I have only 10 posts left after this meaningless post but I don’t really care since I’m gone tomorrow til 2 anyways and rollover is at three so really i timed it perfectly
