i feel like it’s pretty obvious he’s posting to be townread and that’s why he forced out the beancat questioning, the suspicion on may, and the conversation with lemonfairy
nothing he’s done so far feels very natural from him
vulgard is pushing on me a similar way he did in PCI which probably should make me give him some credit but instead it just makes me roll my eyes because he should know better if he’s town
i guess i just don’t like how dismissive he is about my slot more on an approach level rather than an alignment level
Yep, and I don’t do anything the first few days because I’m sitting there going “I should know who the wolves are by now, all the information I need is there, I should work on figuring things out from the content I have, I don’t need to focus on generating more”. The passive gameplay is a symptom of the actual problem (too-high expectations for myself). It’s when I give up and start realtiming that I usually get my endgame reads together. - e.g. when I saw Molly’s reaction to the Lemon vote at the end of last game.
Also, I was at least partially deliberately throwing the first few days of last game because I wanted to survive. It sounds rude, and it is, but I didn’t trust the town we had to make good decisions in the endgame, especially before you and Marl replaced in. I blamed illness and lack of confidence a lot, and those were certainly factors, but I played up “I can’t make good reads” on purpose. I don’t think I’ll be employing that strategy again, seeing as it failed despite the fact that I was absolutely right.
Yes! I did this on purpose. Making the exact same push with a lot of the exact same people in thread gives me a really easy point of comparison for reactions, because it’s literally one-to-one.
Unfortunately, I can’t compare Lemon’s reaction, since she was late to the thread in B&F, but Arctic’s initially seemed pretty different to me - he seemed to take my read more seriously than he did as a wolf, rather than immediately realize it was a reaction test. Then… he put in that little addendum about realizing it, which kinda deleted my read. I have more to say about this but I’m getting really motion sick so I have to put down my phone now ok bye
