yeah, I do kind of see that
you did really well in our first game together where there were no expectations for you to have the game solved by a certain time (but also nobody actually listened to your reads either)
honestly, I find it super difficult to read you in general, just because of how you play and I also haven’t seen you wolf before but I somehow managed to find you correctly as town last game so hopefully I will uhh read you correctly again this game
yay
(what performance?)
lol ok
honestly, the amount of WiM I have is probably the greatest determinant of my level of performance in a game (aside from my earlier games when I had the WiM but was just really clueless on how to play mafia in general)
so hoping to keep up the 
positive energy for not only this game, but all future games
this may or may not be what I think it is but I’m just going to hold of commenting on it for now

Arctic, how good would you say your towngame is compared to your wolfgame?
not sure what to make of this post
would depend on how familiar Arctic is with May’s meta
which I think is not a lot?
@Arctic is the above accurate?
(by above, I just mean that you’re not familiar with May’s meta)
never mind
ignore my question
Lemon, could I ask you the same?
ask me what?
i’m a way better wolf
i think this is a pretty common take if you were to ask around. not… necessarily because i’m a good wolf! just because i’m a bad villager!
well i’ve played with her like twice
the first time we both got n1’ed and i hardly read her posts (but i scumread her incorrectly lol)
the second time was last game where i wasn’t trying to solve her alignment because i was a wolf
but regardless, i did realize like, right after i made that post it was likely just an RT and reading the framing of the post again made it even more obvious. so i feel dumb for not immediately realizing but like, it could have been worse y’know?

wait nvm
I would say, compared to my towngame, I’m a lot more careful and thoughtful about what I say as wolf (and as a result, I have less fun). I also care a lot more about how I’m being seen in thread so not being townread bothers me more. Although in my past few games as town I have also cared more about people townreading me b/c I felt that I was obvtowning enough that I should be townread but now I kind of get that it’s not really that people are townreading me less despite me being townier, but more that initially, people just assumed that I was a noob player because I didn’t play regularly but now that I’ve been more active and shown that I am capable of being solvy, I have to match or go beyond that every game to actually obvtown so it’s less their problem for not seeing me as towny when I am being towny but more that I was being measured against a lower standard before.
omg what is this monstrosity I just typed up

see, I am also a bad villager but I’ve felt that in my past couple of games as town, I’ve been towny to the extent that I don’t think I can mimic the same kind of solving and thinking process as a wolf
and I’m scared to keep continuing to town it up harder with every game because at some point, my wolf game will just be incredibly obvious if I’m not able to match that level of attempting to solve as a wolf
but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there ig 
ok, yeah this checks out
I didn’t really want to say anything obvious in case it someone would interact with it like they were supposed to but ig me saying anything at all kind of ruined it idk
this convo was bound to come up eventually
idk how easy it would be for May to fake the same thing as mafia (they fake it as town anyway) but it looks pretty good so far?
wow exciting

two types of people
ehh. the level of solving is something about my town game i can fake. what i would say makes the difference between my town/wolfgame is how much i actually care but i think last game i did care quite a lot about trying to win. so the best metric i’d offer is probably to look at how linear my approach is and whether or not i’m considering new angles. i think i’m more open minded as town (when i’m not tunneled, of course)
eh… it’s not worth tanking 75% of your experience just to make the 25% a little easier. if anything you’ll be forced to level up your wolf game, so i would take it in stride if i were you
i’m inclined to say that (even if they were to eventually admit it was an RT) they would not have the balls to make a post that… egregiously bad in their first actual forum wolf game. but eh, this is probably more dependent on personality
