sun seems very likely a villager(crazy to say on day 1)

but snap promising her is something i dont think he would do as a wolf

unless they are both wolves

but she seems villa enough

Heya Timon, I'd forgotten that you were in the Wire game. I might take a look at it a bit later. How would you describe the way you approach ww right now?

Sort of, I suppose. Like, I thought Mets had enough respect for my game to be a day 1 pass, but I've never been a day 1 pass of his before, so in the end I don't really mind.

Meh, I don't agree.

Sorry for leaving you out Birdie, it was completely by accident, you crushed as Hannah

I think this post is pretty damn villagery.

Hmm

I kinda expected you to mention how you were 'randed villa AGAIN' as a villager here. It is somewhat conspicuous by its absense.

Hey bro, nice to see you again

I am not a wolf this game.

Hmm, I initially agreed with VMF's take on the you/UAW thing, but I can somewhat see where you're coming from now (in terms of him grunch voting in the last game, and not doing so here).

I agree that it's anti-village, which is funny because he's only ever been randed villager I believe. He has definitely pre-written his OPs in prior games though, so I don't think it ought to be a discussion point.

Some random thoughts:

- I think VMF has been very villagery coming into this game, I like the way he's posting and the things he's looking into

- Aksdal has come in sorta wolfy. He's had a few villagery posts sprinkled in there, but there are quite a few things that I haven't really liked from him.

- Anarchist quite likely a villager

- Tappokone somewhat wolfy, in his read of the thread I feel like the things he was pointing out or responding to weren't quite in line with what I expect a villager to point out/respond to. However that should be tempered with the knowledge that afaik I've never played with Tappo, only modded a game with him in it (and sorta read one or two others).

that piost by binkles is villagery. real good tone

Hiya VR, it's nice to see you here

Do you think you could tell me a little bit about how you perceive your own game? What do you think your strengths/weaknesses are as a villager and as a wolf? How would you go about wolfhunting yourself?

Thanks

Looking at the timestamps, you must have read it really quickly

This makes me .

But I only have 50 posts so I'd better not get too chatty.

Binkles, I am curious about the origin of your villager lean on Anarchist.

Anarchist(mellowed out villa)
Aksdal(wolf hunting)
UAW710(good content in his posts. seems like his villa game)
Fixated(tone seems legit)

My strength as a villager is self-clearing. New people often find me wolfy in the first day or two, but people that have played with me generally read me pretty well, and even the new people can usually clear me after a couple of days. As long as I don't get lynched early, I tend to live a while. I make it a point to post straightforwardly. I believe that deception is the enemy of the village.

I am a moderately below average wolf hunter, and I tend to use tone quite a bit early in the game. Later my preferred method of wolf-hunting is to reread the entire thread with full knowledge of dead players' roles. In a lot of POG games that is simply not possible, ,and my reads suffer quite a bit, but I expect I will be able to do a bit better in this game.

I am not a good wolf. When I played regularly, I was often the first wolf lynched, but I was also often the one that found the seer.

People often think that I'm grouchy as a wolf, but that is generally a misread. If I'm grouchy in game it usually means one of two things: too many villagers getting too fps-y, or outside of game life circumstances.

i like your style vr. tone seems real villa as well. i feel good trusting u and sun

nice, i guess i am pretty good at reading

w/e i can't read sun anyway

It's, as the cool kids would say, a bit of a tone thing.

Annie hasn't really been 'spamarchist' too much in any role recently, so post count alone (or lack of) isn't a good reason to find him villagery or wolfy. However I believe that the way in which he posts, and the content/underlying tone of his posts have some noticeable differences when looking between his villa and his wolf game.

I think as a wolf he is generally more aggressive, he doesn't become super-aggro too often, but there's something there that's a little bit more...'definitive' I suppose. I'm struggling to find the correct adjective here, but there's definitely a difference. As a villager I think his tone is a bit quieter, more resigned, etc. He'll still make reads and interact, but I can normally see at least a few of his posts and think to myself "I don't think Annie wolf makes that post in that way" when he's a villager. I think a few of his posts have been like that already.

In terms of the accuracy of my read, I've managed to read him pretty accurately recently, I don't think I've been wrong on him in a while. However I will temper that by adding that I've explained my confidence in reading Anarchist in the past, so he's probably at least somewhat aware of the way in which I read him, and it may be something he tries to focus upon the next time he's randed wolf against me.

I quite like a lot of this list.

I think I disagree with you on Aksdal right now, there's just something there that I think is more of a hallmark of his wolf game than villa, but I need to wait and see more from him.

Thanks very much for the response VR. I'm actually a big fan of tone reading in general, it's something I've been trying to add to my game recently. When I first joined POG I was a lot more analytical than I am now, whereas recently I've tried to add more thin reads into my arsenal, and be able to build a view on the game around that.

I'll keep in mind that your mood is most likely role-neutral/based on out of game stuff.

One thing I remember was a recent turbo I railed, where you were a wolf, and I think quite a few of the old timers were impressed by how well you played (Dean I think?). Did you make any conscious adjustments there to 'fool' him or the thread in general, or do you think it was more just a case of him being 'rusty' or something?

Do you have a read on VMF yet Aksdal?

affirmative

I didn't consciously adjust anything, but I do have a theory.

One thing that often would trip me up as a wolf was the sense of responsibility to my teammates. That, combined with the fact that I frequently get read easily would make me nervous to post and let my wolf-mates down, and it showed in my posting.

I have been consciously making an effort to take things less seriously (in my daily life, not just ww) in the last 6 months. Not that I still don't want to play to win, but I'm working on realizing that it's not the end of the world if I screw up and just enjoying the moment while I'm in it. For a recovering perfectionist like myself, that's an ongoing challenge.

So maybe my wolf game just came off a little more Zen.
