Hang on gotta take care of something at work

Have a few posts to respond to in a minute

most of them are part of Banks' posse so might be wise to discuss their reads on each other to get a better feel

i want to be clear about this:

you are saying that you believe a wolf in the first post of their first game on POG (but not new to werewolf generally) would directly and unironically refer to being in wolf chat with another player in the game, thereby outing them both?

you think this is a realistic possibility?

Fwiw, nothing QB posted makes him more likely to be a wolf

If anything, the reverse is true

yeah, i know what townspeaking is because its basically knowing how to speak well in video mafia. its early day 1 with not a lot of content; clearly you have to go based on reactions and how people push back on your pushes, he went on duckburg awkwardly so I pushed gamerdude hoping for a reaction and I got a towny one.

long time no see

As for the new (to POG) players I'm approaching them like I would in a vanilla

It hasn't yielded much so far

Lead wagon has one post and it was textbook wolfy so you could always start there, plus the wagon looks pretty pure imho

Lissa

Ninja's opener is congruent with the rest of her posts this game. And unless you have meta that says villa-ninja never opens a thread with "extended intro/weak read/weak joke" i think you are over-weighting your initial gut read.

What you're complaining about basically applies to Yawn's opener (probably more strongly) and then you say it's "tough to believe" that he's come off as more wolfy than her? You're being illogical about this Gamer.

I wouldnt put it past someone to rand wolf and try and derp clear themselves

but I think it's incorrect to lock a wolf read in on someone who does it

Good to see your in solid form

I know you didn't ask me, but you have me as wolfy and I'm voting yawn so: No, in a vacuum. I even commented that it was "level 0"

BUT he's done nothing to disabuse us of the notion that it was a level 0 wolfy post posted by a wolf

I'm open to changing my mind if he comes back and does, well, something

I'm saying that a villager is more scared of making a wolf read, because he might be wrong.
Where as wolves have 100% information and are more likely to make a wolf read, because they 1)find obscure reasons to why their wolf bro is a wolf, which often are reasonable only because they KNOW that player is a wolf. 2) try to herd the village's opinion in a specific direction by applying pressure on X players. It is often done to divert attention from player Y, who is a wolf that is pushed by villagers.


So yeah, I'm saying that wolves are more likely to make a wolf read than a villager on D1.

Well, if that is your opinion I'm not going to stop you from voting me.
What I am doing is feeling a tiny bit sad about misjudging you as a good player.

You mean Gamer Dude, right?

Yawn wouldn't do that. He isn't the intentionally derp-clearing type. He plays with integrity.

per the exchange between baudib and fraleyight in post 804, i tend to read Viggo poorly but the description of his posts so far as nonconfrontational and trying to emulate his village meta are both sort of contradictory and yet ring fairly true for me

Ninja's intro post raised all the flags.

I'm waiting to read more since there was a lot of discussion about her.

Agree

It's also much wolfier that it's his only post

No one would really care of he'd been villagery with decent volume and tone otherwise

Ah so you've played with Yawn? What do you make of that post? Is he more likely to make it as a wolf? More to the point, is he more likely to make it and then peace out as a wolf?

Unless someone is known to be tricky, claiming you are a wolf/are in wolf chat/etc. tends to be a stupid villa post. I agree with your point and think this makes it more likely the poster is a villager.

The last line makes me lean villa on monstt

This is +villa post.

And Duckberg already knows all of this. I'm unimpressed with his explanation.

You continue to imply I don't think Yawn is a wolf/wolfy yet there is not evidence of this

and the argument that I can't think X is wolfy without thinking Y is wolfy is an lol worthy argument

Yes, duckburg, that response was towards gamer dude and you, pinging you out while saying I have a townread on him.

(my Wi-Fi is ****ty, so apparently this didn't post)

Hey, soul reads are a thing.

I have played only one forum game with WG, and we hydra. Based on how he was posting in there and how he is posting here, it seems he is doing his villa play.

The only wolf game i have played with WG was in video mafia, and I called him mafia within like a minute of the game.

So yeah. I'd like to say I have a good read on him.

Also, I actually like fraley this game. He seems like he is trying to figure the game out, and the way he is approaching his read on WG is villa.

LT- on a scale of 1-10 how happy are you with your role?

Right on

I was going to try and read the players that I do know and let the others resolve themselves until later in the game, if I'm alive, I'll start reading their posts. People that I have never played with always seem wolfy to me for some reason.
