Sep 2015 Werewolf - Game thread

[JKDS]

SMF is very likely villager.

Why tho? He spends the first part of the day slowly building a case on SIU, after a few have called SIU suspicious. That makes SIU the most likely wagon at the time, and an easy target for a wolf. I vote him, then all of his 'investigative' work comes to a crashing halt. In addition, all he can think about is how villagery other people find him, so hes obv concerned with how people are perceiving him.

Hes done work, sure. But anyone whos ever played ww more than a few times is fully aware of the "work hard so you look towny" trick.

I see what you're getting at but just because someone is putting in an effort - does not mean they are putting together a "trick".

D1 is such a hilar crapshoot that I don't anyone can actually pin down someone at a high rate of success.

I've fallen victim to being lynched D1 many times in the past solely based on "bid is different this game." Most of the time, the village was wrong and I was a villager. However, I do see the merit in it because of how little we have to go on.

Take rilla for example, I know it's only been like 24hrs irl into D1 but he's nowhere to be seen. > rando wolf
baudib and ong are baudib and ong. Their balancing in this game is great as far as post count goes. Ong sucks at being tone consitent tho lol ... No wolfy vibes from either.

rascal and wuf are using irl excuses for their lack of content, albeit wuf stated prior to the game (which is a solid strat even if irl is not busy). Anyways, both are > rando wolf.

I never have a read on JKDS. Ever. Fuck him.

Hoopy and evene need to participate more.

I have zero reads on the other new players and I'm sure I've missed many...

I don't think wuf would straight up lie about being busy, didn't he say that he hated the inactive wolf strat with a passion? Doesn't fit with how he sees the game.

Ill give you this. He "NO U"'d me, which is ive seen more often from inexperienced villagers than vet wolves. But hes still wolfier than anyone else thats posted so far.

want to think about JKDS' read here a little, just grabbing

worth noting that as a villager i probably lynch wolves on d1 with 55-60% accuracy on other sites averaged. i used to play on a forum called WalterFootball that basically used to say "you can't lynch wolves on d1!!!!" and weighed down the importance of d1 but i think it's absolutely the most important day for sewing together a competent, intelligent village core and building a reasonable PoE, which is not absurdly difficult in ~smaller games

And when you do that it makes it much harder for wolves to stay UTR or avoid being lynched because of a cohesive villager, and hence the rate spikes up

[baudib]

I think that a major feature of BID's villager style is he makes very crisp posts, short posts that are easy to understand and sometimes have sharp observations included.

In that hotshots game I remember telling him he should stop overexplaining in his posts because he doesn't do that as a villager. I feel like this post is something I'd expect from him as a wolf.

Hoopy noted the bolded part above. This doesn't really make sense because obviously being busy is role neutral and both have been saying these things for several games now.

I admit I was grasping at straws when trying to sling pasta at a sticky wall.

^^ this a lot of metaphors

the problem I see is that it's the opposite of throwing pasta at a wall. in this long post, it's by far his strongest stance.

WW is frustrating for obvious reasons. Add to that, the constant ridicule I receive. This makes me want to change my game somewhat.

So it's a catch 22. I'm ridiculed for playing lazy. Then when I make a post with effort, players then get on my case about how I must be a wolf because I put effort into the game.
