Sure. And everyone who doesn't do exactly what you tell them is a wolf.

I'd like for you to make your next five posts while standing on one leg. If you don't provide video proof, you are a lock wolf.

Both pretty meh reasons but jumping on, again with pretty much your first interaction in the space of 20 posts?


Found this row of posts pretty interesting. The back and forth between Fraley in this period seems a bit 'off' too but I'm not sure why?

Again if I'm miles wide of the mark let me know why.

quick note before you read this for those unfamiliar with me outside of turbos - this post format is how i catch up on the thread when I'm behind in non-turbo games. i do it as both a wolf and a villager. a lot of times people automatically give me villager or wolf reads based on format alone, which is really stupid. so judge me based on its content, not its form

Pg 1 things to think about
up to this pt in the thread, which is very early, kawa looks good and bop does not

but is robik a good enough villager to make this type of read or is it more likely coming from a wolf thats trying to justify their TMI read?

TheBro

meh. i had the same reaction as a villager, but i suspect it'd also be the easiest line to take as a wolf.

I might advocate policy lynching Kawa.

Also, BATM has not played well recently.

The village should punish players who make no attempt to clear themselves.

Some basic strategy for ww:

1. Reward players who make an effort to make themselves seem like villagers.
2. Punish players who seem wolfy or make no effort.
3. Once all of those are dead, analyse actions and patterns to nail the deep wolves.
4. Ensure Sir Rawls is dead, just in case.
5. Win.
this is horrible because wolves are obv more likely to "make an effort to make themselves seem like villagers"

I've never seen this tone from lord before. has he evolved? this is like a troll-y form of lord that i didn't think he was capable of

...

as I'm reading on, he seems quite serious and not troll-y at all, so never mind



start of page 2 is a complete mess with this lord/kawa/rawrs back and forth and should be read as neutral since its more personal than game-based

not sure what to think of all these vigg short posts. its replicating his free-flowiness as a villager, except as a villager i feel like he makes longer posts with more substance instead of having more posts that are short. thin

kinda got the same vibe from lord

also kawa could easily post this much as a wolf and I'm sure she has before. its not like she's been posting content so far


also, fran seems good so far

eh

a lot of people put themselves at the top of their lists, more for organiation than anything else. also he didn't put himself on the 2nd place in his list, he put himself at the top

this is a bad reason to vote someone

Rebuteo, make 30 posts with content today and I'll give you about a 4 day pass. Fail to do so and you might get lunched today. Your call!

Robik seems villagery
Not voting hifi for reasons unrelated to my peek
If I had to vote anyone now it would be QB for that awful list -- not just the part where he lists bop twice, but for the quantity of "N" reads
who cares that he listed bop twice?

who cares about the list in general?

people are focusing way too much on that, when its more of a stylistic thing than a role-indicative thing.

disagree with your bop v lord analysis

and yes id obv like to see Rebuteo post more, which is why i asked him a question earlier in this post

hifi has like 2 posts which are inconsequential - its strange that you and robik have both formed such strong opinions on her this quickly

If lord=w, vigg=v this doesnt really make sense. I thnk a wolf could push any villager in a vacuum and given my previous experience with both, I think they would push each other if they were w/v in either order.

If lord=w, vigg=w the comment kind of makes sense, because he's saying lord wouldn't bus vigg. I think if he intended it this way it is still awkward because if you think lord's not bussing vigg I think it's implied that you think vigg is a wolf. And if thats the cae, why arent you listing him as so?

no matter which order fraley intended, I still think its a wolfy thing to say
i disagree with the every notion that fraley's comment required this much analysis, and i disagree with the analysis itself

it was obviously a meta-based comment and you're treating it like every player is objective and in a vacuum. he was saying he doesn't think lord specifically would push vigg specifically. he wasn't saying any wolf wouldn't push any villager. it was a player dependent read and should not be analyzed in a vacuum

also I've already declared fraley is a villager, so this rubs me the wrong way anyways. there was nothing wrong with that specific comment, which i actually agree with

and shocker, it was a meta-based read!

Meh, I gave up on trying to find the quotes from hifi in that game, but if you recall, she spent the whole time hard pocketing AAO. Going so far as to apologize for hard pocketing him before night killing him (and doing the same in post game).

Now look at how she's interacting with lord this game:

If you get lynched this game I'm going to be mad.
Given her successful pocketing antics last game, after this post from Lord:

I came to the conclusion that she would take it as a personal mission to pocket him. It's like she takes pride in this aspect of her wolf game and takes his statement as a challenge. Note that the aforementioned post was #204, and her 2 posts were #205 (intro) and #215 (post basically hard clearing lord --> in the same manner she took up her hard defense of aao).

i think your miles wide of the mark because your own analysis is ending with ?s instead of .s

as a villager, all you need to do is explain your thoughts. you don't need to say 'I'm not sure why" - you can just sit back and think about it for 20 seconds and then post whatever is in your head

its your thought process that is important, moreso than your conclusion at this stage

so tell us what you are thinking. don't tell us "this seems off but I'm not sure why." if something seems off to you, there is obviously a reason. just think about it and then post that reason. we need to see how you are thinking and how you are making conclusions on players

Yeah sorry, it mainly just seemed very softballing, especially the 'people putting themselves on villager lists' fluff.

My main concern is distracting the village on stuff that may be more obvious to others, so I wanted to convey the unsure I had at that point.

Consolidation later leads to CFDs that end in seers having to claim and stupid **** like that. I'd rather have people know how I feel and hop on board early so that we don't let the 100%!wolf out of our grips

It was the first/only thing I'd found at that time through pure interactions/mechanics and I wanted to bring it up. Again, with no history with any player in here day 1 will be tough for me, so I'm attempting to make notes on things like that as I go and raise tham as and when it seems appropriate, much like the interaction you commented on above.

I see Kawa came back, posted a lot of nothingness and ignored it though.

don't be concerned about distracting us. the main thing every villager can do is to form opinions on others and give reasons for those opinions so we could all see

so whenever something catches your attention as being suspicious, you should point it out

meh

i suppose if i was super confident in a single wolf read i might be taking a similar line. i know i would be on d2 and beyond. d1 id rather start with a wider array of everyone though, and I'm not really that worried about any cfd or eod chaos because we're not likely to lynch a wolf on d1 anyways. basically on d1 i care more about the process than the result

also the seer should not be claiming under any circumstance on d1, no matter what happens
