This is a very bad reasoning for a vote. For one, I don't imagine you've ever played with me so you actually cannot say with any degree of certainty wether or not I'll be impossible to read (and for your information I am actually very easy to read, its not hard just do this: monstrman is a villager!) Look! You read me already.
Secondly: I believe the basis of your vote is that I said "I'll shoot from the hip" which I believe you may have misconstrued as "I'm just gonna make random reads and not explain any of them" but, again, you have never played with me and voting with giving zero reasoning is actually pretty much the opposite of how I play.
Unless you voted me for reactions, in which case, Hi my name is monstrman and this is me reacting.

One of my great lessons from last game:
This game is complicated and deserves to be understood complexly, but if you don't make it fun, you wont have fun.
My "village daddy" style is tedious and no one was engaging me on my ideas or being swayed by my arguments. Which means I wasted my effort. Another lesson learned.

I'm still waiting to hear how wuf thinks what I'm doing is indicative of a "smart" person who is wolfing. I think wuf's reply is indicative of a lazy wolf who is distracting. I agree with the purported analysis that wolfs like to ask about game mechanics in thread. It looks like they're trying to solve the game, but really they're just not hunting. Furthermore... I queried the mechanics of the tough guy in the sign up thread, which I'm fairly sure wuf has read... so I find his questions to be wholly disingenuous.

I expect some to see my activity from a level 1 place and think... a wolf would act wolfy and do wolfy things... cause they're a wolf. Look at MMM doing weird things and not fitting in and making my ass twitch (god I hope that's a quote from French Kiss, 'cause I'd like key's taste in movie quotes even more.). I expect a bit more attention to detail from the likes of wuf.
I accept and fully expected Keith to bold me early in this game. I'm fairly sure it will take a literally howling wolf to get him off me. However, he made me lol when he bolded, so I win.
Don't worry I've played a great deal of games in my time so I am by no means inexperienced, I was merely commenting that I don't have any experience playing with any of you guys specifically and many of my reads are derived from tells that I have accumulated from various little posts and consistencies that I find while playing with people throughout the course of many games.
For example, my meta on Baudib is thus:
Baudib is a very spazzy villager and a wolf with a very wide range, but I find that he has one major difference between his games.
During a game where I was a villager and he was a wolf, I noted that he was pretty much tunneling me all game with no inclination of changing his read in any direction. The highest I ever got was null to him, despite that I kept engaging him and telling him to elaborate/change his read of me. The biggest notable thing here was that he seemed content to keep me in his wolf leans but not actually pressure me or convince anyone else to lynch me whatsoever.
This brings me to his villager game where I was a villager and so was he
He was reading another player that was in the game as a wolf and no matter what anyone said every post was met with "You are a wolf and you should get lynched" or "this is wolfy pls die." He tried as hard as he could to convince every player in the game that the person he was reading as a wolf was actually a wolf because that is how much he believed it.
That's not to say this is the complete assessment of his entire range, but I think that is one of the key differences between his games that I have used to accurately assess his alignment in several games, though I will say that while I can use meta to assist in my reads of players, a large majority of how I play is actually based on pure instinct.
