I do it all the time in mishmashes, I never have done it in a vanilla until now. My reads are much better in mishmashes. Heh. Ok so this specific trap is I make an outrageous and blatantly false accusation at another player, wolves in an attempt to be villagery always take the easy bait and push the villager (me) making absurd posts. Or more like they don't even know how to react, they just start howling in response. It "catches" some villagers too here and there, but its way >>rand to nab some woofs. Psychologically the wolves are looking for things to talk about, and what better to talk about than a villager making a false accusation.
And typically I'd expect it to be a spot where they decided to white knight village Anarchist, that's usually what it means. The "reverse tmi" is a villager (me) makes a false accusation (that someone slipped, again given it is false this usually means the player is a villager) and then the wolves are all "lolwat there is no slip" because they know there isn't one; because they have tmi.
When you see any sequence that goes
player A: "this post has tmi"
player B: "no it doesn't"
And player B is not responding to an accusation against himself, this is always >rand statement coming from a wolf due to reverse tmi.
