Go back to monkey

[Arctic]

yeah they aren’t usually active regardless but normally they aren’t this self-conscious about their inactivity and tend to sass people reading them from it but i haven’t really seen much of that here except for one post

@Nokiel

Actually, how do you place a vote?

click this hammer icon in the post editor then type the player name

Trying to read up but I’ve got probably got the flu and allergies and a migraine and I’m also on like 5 pain meds and I keep breaking into laughs every time I read “poor wittle arcy” so give me a bit lol

Alright, I’ve got to think more about my vote now that we’re starting to close in on EoD, and I think I know where I want to put it for now.

VOTE: Aelin

Aelin’s posted six times so far, and I’m not sure I love any of it. Gonna go through this post-by-post.

@Aelin

Oh, hullo, all. I’m not perfectly free today, as I have to drive three hours back to school, but I’ll be here as much as possible.

This is a pretty normal thing to say and do (American Thanksgiving and all). Unfortunately I cannot say anything about this post because it’s so normal #normalgirlnovember

@Aelin

Curious about Arctic and May’s interaction around the push on Eliza. Specifically, both of them feel very… I don’t know the proper word for this, but they’re very ‘complying’ with each other? Like, they seam very… relaxed? But not exactly that. May also specifically didn’t latch onto the RT avenue, and I’m curious if Arctic offered that specifically looking to see if May would immediately try to back out of it and would like a response for this from Arctic.

This is where things start to look off to me - specifically, this post raises questions without saying anything. It feels like Aelin’s intentionally stirring the pot without… making a specific accusation. It’s an observation, not analysis, but it feels like it’s presented as the latter.

@Arctic

VOTE: Nokiel

yeah okay sure i guess

fwiw, aelin’s only post so far is actually fine in spite of its hedginess
i may be entirely making this up because i cant point to specific examples in the past but it feels like the sort of oddly specific thing i’m used to her latching onto if she thinks the interaction might prove useful for analysis
@Aelin am i making this up or is this how you normally solve

@Aelin

I don’t think so, but I haven’t really played in a while and I was busy yesterday and sleepy today.

It feels like Aelin… doesn’t want to argue too strongly that she’s town? Her response to this question of Arctic’s is very quiet, very muted, like she’s trying to blend into the background, and my understanding of this game so far is that that’s exactly what the wolves are trying to doing, with there only being two wolves and with all three high-posters seeming decently townie.

@Aelin

@Arctic

uh well okay the context here is that May made a similar bad read on eliza at the start of last game which made me realize that it was probably an RT this game when she did the same thing. i mean i invited her to clarify for sure but she… didn’t, probably so others could still be able to react to the post at that point without completely spoiling it. i didn’t really mean to offer this as an explanation i just inadvertently did this while trying to figure out what was going on

Hm… So it was legitimate? Noted.

The word “noted” is a wolftell

@Aelin

@Arctic

ehh. the level of solving is something about my town game i can fake. what i would say makes the difference between my town/wolfgame is how much i actually care but i think last game i did care quite a lot about trying to win. so the best metric i’d offer is probably to look at how linear my approach is and whether or not i’m considering new angles. i think i’m more open minded as town (when i’m not tunneled, of course)

i would usually call this useless self-meta but this is pretty accurate from what i remember

@Arctic

i’m inclined to say that (even if they were to eventually admit it was an RT) they would not have the balls to make a post that… egregiously bad in their first actual forum wolf game. but eh, this is probably more dependent on personality

wifom out the wazoo, but the fact that youre so certain of this is odd

Again, a lot of strong indecision from Aelin, trying not to stand out, pointing out “odd” things without committing to any of it. It feels like she’s trying to be… and I don’t meant this in the way one would initially interpret it, a net negative on the game. Removing reads without adding them back in.

It is very funny.

Altslip altslip !!!

@May

noted

yeah idk it could be aelin

i’ve kind of been waiting for her to give a conclusion on all the stuff she’s been asking about because i know that if she’s town there is clearly some kind of internal process going on behind the scenes that she could probably use to clear herself instantaneously

but at this point yeah it’s probably cause for concern

@Aelin are you still catching up? (when) are we going to get the grand reveal of Aelin’s Reads?

i like to call this behaviour “anti-solving”
you should also call it this so i can say i came up with mafia terminology

[Arctic]

she really badly wanted to show off her new title by losing at the posting votecounts correctly game

[May]

Voutecounts…

[Arctic]

i lost the don’t typo when trying to make fun of someone game

[May]

Can’t believe all those Americans are out there calling them “voteconts”. Everyone knows the REAL way to spell the word, “voutecounts”.

[Vulgard]

i think whysper and nokiel are towny

[Vulgard]

that probably answers your question from earlier arctic

[Vulgard]

i’m down for aelin or beancat

[Arctic]

well im going to try and get some sleep now so i can be back for eod

i would stay up if it weren’t for the fact i had a mandatory lab at 9am

oh wait vulgard is here perfect
what do you think about- oh ok lmao

[Vulgard]

VOTE: Aelin

podracing? do you think this is more likely a wolf or beancat

[Vulgard]

i kinda townread everyone else ngl
kanave and eliza are the closest to null but they’re not wolfy
i kinda see what may is talking about re: aelin and what you’re talking about re: beancat

[beancat]

@Nokiel

I can kinda get that. Generally from comments and alluding to past activity it does seem like it’s a case where bean has not been playing actively and is struggling to get into it…?

Eh, Imma sheep a little, it might help to get bean started?

This kind of pressure seems like it comes from town

Looking for pressure for me failing to follow up on my promises is a good thing

@Arctic

i think repeatedly showing awareness of the fact they aren’t playing and then still not playing is probably wolfy, because they are trying to keep up appearances like “oh i’m here guys dw” without actually helping to solve

This is not
Me not following up on my promises to participate is, surprise surpirse, very common
I feel bad about it regardless of my alignment and will talk about it
Arctic is for some reason determined to kill me today instead ofntaking the towny approach of “here have pressure” that nokiel is taking
