I said it would be long, so here is
People are getting on me being "off". This is hardly a legit argument. Things happen, people change it up, and good players won't make that mistake. Have I been "off" this game? No. Have I posted differently than previously? In a way, yes. My posting has evolved quite a bit over the games, and I have a new strategy this game due to experiences of last game that include realizing that early game soulreads are mega hard and simply unimportant. Gator finished last game, not Gator and the other wolves, but just Gator. The village has got to get them ALL not just a few. The early game is simply not the place for soulreading IMO, and I realize that now. It's the time for macro strategies, which I have done so far. I also feel like taking more of a back seat in this game because I was in the front for my duration in last game, and generally I've realized that keeping a lower profile is a better way to not be eaten earlier. However, I shouldn't be a hypocrite and call out low content players without myself bringing the content, so I won't do that. But keep in mind that I actually have been providing good content. I find it quite suspicious that people are getting on my case, but I'll get more to that later
But even with all the "off" or low content accusations, which are superficially somewhat true in a way I will expound, I've provided a lot of information. I've been trying to weed out low value and hard to read characters. IMO, this is what the early game is all about. In my process of weeding out low content characters, I believe I've determined that fulksy is as villager as it gets. Sadly, it looks like he may be modkilled, but if he's not, having him as such a huge likely villager is great value because the wolves are going to have a very hard time deciding to eat him, and when it gets down to the wire, the odds start really helping the village
I have been sleeping terribly lately. My back problems have been keeping me from getting to sleep, and I've been waking up earlier than normal and spending all day grinding. This is the first game where I've spent the vast majority of my time grinding while looking over WW. That alone cuts off a lot of the fat of my posts, and let's be frank, there's a lot of fat in wuf posts. Not only have I been worn out, I am actually trying to change my approach to the game by not being as crazy active as I usually am. Keep in mind that my play style has changed a lot over my four games, regardless. And it will continue to evolve
It's wrong to lynch valuable players early. I stick to this almost 100%. Even if I think a player I strongly respect is suspicious, I'm not going after them early because our failure last game taught me it's a much bigger mistake to let the low value and hard to read players skate into the endgame where we have a repeat of wolf-Gator outsmarting villagers who weren't really into the game. If you look at my main big content post in this game, it's all about weeding out those that hurt the late game. And that's really the only thing I'm going to do in the first day or so. If I get really bored I might try find some kind of soulread, but I haven't felt like that yet. Look at it this way, it is considered that the best eat strategy for the wolves is good players in the early game. Now why in the world would the village think that lynching good players in the early game is a good idea?
Finally, JV bolding me out of the blue makes me think he's playing on a curiously high amount of suspicions thrown at me. Do we have a possible wolf team including JV, Dan, and Carroters? Dan and Carroters on my nuts this game, JV bolds me a little later, and now Carroters popping on my wagon? Are we seeing a railroad? Maybe. Maybe Carroters is butthurt enough that he wants to go toe to toe and take me out, maybe JV knows he's the mythical WW god and thinks he can pull off a wuf lynch. Maybe their egos are getting the better of them because they're sadly mistaken that it's a good idea to try to get at me like this. Maybe there is no conspiracy, maybe I'm seeing irrational patterns, but this information will be valuable come the late game when soulreads start mattering. I believe that wolves that played the last game will try to railroad me instead of eat me. They know that if I'm the seer, I'm gonna come out early because I said I always would, and their best strategy to get rid of me might simply be to try to convince the village to gat me. I dunno if there's something there or what, but I'm keeping it locked away until when it starts to matter: the mid/late game
Shit that wasn't as long as I expected. Am I losing my edge? Quick somebody post about how teabaggers are Constituationalists
