Some may disagree with me, but comparing your villager game to your own game is also common, but, again, only if you are put under pressure (does the standard "If you had only bothered to look at my past games, you would realize this is my villager game. I would never do this as a wolf. Get off my back and start villaging, dude!" do anything to you?).
I do not, however, feel that this is w/w.
CPHoya, could you elaborate as to why Hardcore seems villagery to you?
There are a few things that initially bothered me with this post Uncle:
Firstly you don't really conclude or derive anything from it. You speak very definitively about what people would/wouldn't do, but the only thing it leads to is that you think Hardcore has extreme confidence.
You then go on to say that comparing metagame is normally done under pressure, which is probably true, but I'm really not sure how you jump from that to "this is probably not w/w". And I'm not sure why it matters in terms of the rest of your post. Like, you say that most people only talk about metagame under pressure, and then say that those who talk about it while not under pressure have a lot of confidence, and then conclude that this isn't w/w.
But I don't see why? Like, what part of that exchange actually makes you think it's not w/w from the rest of your post? You explained later that Hoya may be a wolf calling a villager a villager in Hardcore for credit, but it's not a thought process you actively showed in the post above, despite you coming to that conclusion.
I think it's a fairly basic and generic wolf tell for wolves to speak definitively about things like metagame (because you can tell the truth about them) and also to make, or discount random links between players, because, again, it's easier to tell the truth about them or to twist things in a fairly convincing way.
Which is basically why I found that wolfy.
There are also some things in there like your tone and your approach to making reads where I think there are some differences between this and what I know of your village game, however I don't want to elaborate on that just yet so I can get a better sample size.
And I'm not voting you, because like I said, I do like that you're driving discussion somewhat early on, which is generally something villagers like to do more than wolves.
