It makes sense if dustin doesn't know he's a wolf I guess.

I think the wolves would win more often if they pushed each other harder d1

Short of the seer luckboxing one of them, it's perfect cover if one of them is the d1 lynch

Naw, you're fine. Just make sure to classify your information as 100% true and probably true. Hell, you almost sniped me day one and had the game locked up on day 2 due to LL's peek.

I don't think I can learn this 100% confidence shtick. I drive everyone crazy because I won't even admit to certainty about the color of the sky :P

Well, depending on if you're in a moving reference frame or not, the color may or may not be constant.

Doppler is one of my favorite kinds of radar as far as I know.

Part of the reason people thought I was wolfy was because I was pretty sure on my reads - I NEVER used to make reads like that, but as I have gotten somewhat better at the game, I have gotten more certain with my reads.

Of course - I helped lynch Vaya d1

, but my villager reads were all good.

I remember in turf wars II where Kyro made a post to dmk saying

"Have you READ the thread" or something like that, telling Dmk that he needed to read his pm and to back off

that was great

I really thought cue was a wolf early but after the LL claim and dustin lynching you just seemed a lot more suspicious than him, it was pretty sick. I really didn't have any specific wolfy read on you it was more like I didn't have a read and he seemed very unlikely to be a wolf so I thought EV wise it was an easy decision.
