A cross between two good times.

I've been that way since like my second ever wolf rand when I found myself making my family wait while I snuck off to make phone calls to Norway so we could hammer a villager for the win before they could be unvoted. It's mostly been a non-issue because I almost always play 12/12s where I'd have to be alive on Day 6 for it to matter, and the other sites I played on respected weekends are sacred and paused games until the zoomers took over. Werewolf is for work/bleachers at my kids' sport practices/a little down time before bed. I'm pretty stubbornly committed to not letting it impact family time.

My son convinced me to install a Mario 64 rom hack that lets you build your own levels. I have a feeling that getting him to bed on time tonight will be a challenge.

Alright I've read everything at least once. I gotta jet and dunno how much I'll be around tomorrow and do not play Werewolf on weekends, so I might be sparse until the second half of D2. (Don't remember if nights are 24 or 48 hours) Vote: Verbal Best I've got, which isn't much but it's D1.

Oh interesting. Yeah I don't think Gud was faking any of her questions then. Unfortunate but does tell me I was reading the sincerity correctly.

Cass my strong town lean on Gud is dependent on this game looking like her last one and you told me there is most certainly not consensus on that and then shrugged when I asked what the disagreement was lol If I'm wrong I want to know where I'm wrong and not ride a bad take into oblivion.

Awh man I wanted to vote first. I'm going to try to rush through the last 3 pages I'm missing and then I gotta jet.

Alright but.... I still have no idea what you're referring to in either post lol

Nah that's for dinner tomorrow.

Self-preservation is pretty important for a village if you want to win. Hate it when someone with a half dozen pelts who is obviously clear rolls over and dies late game because they aren't supposed to be "terribly concerned with their own lives". If you're a suspect your goal should be to get killed by wolves at night. If you're not a suspect your goal should be to kill wolves. Getting lynched doesn't kill wolves.

You nailed it.

Cass I don't remember what I ate for breakfast help a brother out.

I don't even try to replicate my town game lol. I can't do it. That's my heresy in the CCSoHW. Trying to replicate your wolf game will just make you appear a hollow shell of yourself unless you've got more time and energy than I'll ever muster. Wolf in broad daylight. Don't let the village have an opportunity to peer into your soul. Seed chaos and doubt and conspiracy. It doesn't matter if they suspect you as long as they suspect everyone else too. You can say the right words at the right time to get out of a pinch because you're the one being dishonest. Everyone else will keep being who they are.

In my silly heart I'm waiting for Cass to drop a bombshell case on why Gud is a wolf here and we ride into the night with an easy D1 wolf lynch.

Interesting. Go on, or will I get there shortly? Page 38 atm.

At the end of the day it's just an assessment of whether you think they're lying or not and degrees of certainty.

I hear you and can have similar thoughts at first glance and part of the "reasserting" in my last post was for myself. I look at it like this. You're legitimately new and don't know what you're doing in your first wolf rand. You want to look like a villager. You ask your team mates for advice. You do what other villagers do, drop some low commitment takes, express your uncertainty because we have no info yet, be basic and try to blend in. Gud's style so far has given me no reason to doubt that, at least at this stage of her game experience, this is how she'd treat her first wolf rand. Vs here you've got... such a public display of not knowing the first thing about where to begin. Asking people to coach you in thread. No attempt to look stereotypically villagery. That's a mighty rare thing for a first time wolf to do. Can a first time wolf be coached to do it? Yeah, but who would advise that in this crowd? Can a first time wolf independently think it's a good idea? Yeah, but if she's that independent then this should look pretty different from the game she just finished a week ago, and no one is saying it looks any different. No one's lock clear; I don't buy into that mentality. She's as clear as you can get with the current state of information though, for me at least. Everything's one day at a time.

Going to continue to reassert that this is almost always a villager. Like who would she even be trying to appeal to faking these posts as a wolf? She doesn't even know it looks good lol

Just due diligence, this is the first wolfy thing you've said in a while. When does Zander ever wait for anything lol

Did I tell ever tell you about the time I entered a pre-rand event where all 7 players were secretly randed jester, won that, got the prize of getting to choose my alignment for the main 40p game, chose solo 3p, and also won that? 😄 😄 😄

Friendships/relationships is not really a part of it. Whether you're in "D1 is a crapshoot" or "D1 is the most important phase of the game" crowd, you're going to encounter people who don't want to lynch their friends D1. I don't do that, but I'm a jerk. Meta from other games can be useful to a point but gets overapplied. There are some players with truly polarizing meta (locally, Wildfire Sedai comes to mind) who can be read with very high accuracy out the gate, but most players are going to talk more or less the same from a comfortable distances regardless of their alignment in my opinion. I think the generational difference part that's effective (and I'll argue that at this point there's another newer zoomer way of playing that feels exactly to me like how y'all describe our Millennial way of playing lol) relies more on reading emotions. And reading that requires, well, having strong feelings about the game in the first place. Things get louder and faster. It's less about show me that what you're saying makes sense and more about show me that you really believe it.

Huh Don't mind the suspicion but the reason has me scratching my head a little.

Weird conditional things in my head right now are Turin not wolfy but potentially gave Verbal way too easy of a pass if Verbal is a wolf. RTE not wolfy but potentially got counter-bussed poorly if Cairos is a wolf.

I guess RTE and Cairos could have been bussing there. World where RTE light busses an inactive team mate and Cairos responds with his first push of the game because he's the sort of wolf who feels a lot less uncomfortable engaging team mates. I see that often enough especially among low activity wolves who are fairly displaced from the thread. My head had circled back to the conversation because I thought it was weird that Cairos called RTE "defensive" when the push had been entirely one-sided the other way, though I maybe shouldn't read that much into word choice.
