idk if this helps but I’ve heard it argued that the optimal final 3 strategy is to go through and try to figure out who the wolf is and then vote the opposite of what you conclude, because if your conclusion was going to be correct the wolf wouldn’t have taken from you to final 3
I don’t think this generally holds but it’s not a completely ridiculous strategy to have tried, and you voted correctly, so
me
I nominated Ash/you/Squirrel
(mods got to start the nominations, and for some reason cheese gave me a second nomination when we moved sites)
there’s also the fact i went over my past reads and realized that the most accurate and genuine ones i gave were completely unsubstantiated because they had no real reasoning behind it
i did not expect this
blue name privilege
wtf i didnt get extra noms i woulda nominated chloe
I was trying to nominate people that I wasn’t sure would be nominated otherwise (e.g. I figured someone would definitely nominate Vul/Wind/Chloe/etc.) but who I thought would still play well
and also trying not to nominate super polarized people (even if they are strong villagers) because invitationals where all the villagers are incredible tryhards and all the wolves are barely meeting the postmin kind of suck
well, vul probably wouldn’t have been nominated if i wasn’t
unless someone else tried, idk
i nominated arete → katze → nightingale/mistyx expecting one of them to nominate the other regardless of which one i picked
then
for example my sorc17 reads were on fire until i started trying too hard
my uni was originally supposed to start on the same day as the invitational
then it got pushed back by a week, with 2 weeks of online classes, so possibly I could have even played, but I’m not super a fan of the setup so I prrrrobably wouldn’t have played regardless
oof I just tested positive
i knew i was getting an L today but i thought it was gonna be this game lmao
I tried
Rip
bruh
take care
but yeah obviously what i said in f4 warrants a completely different play pattern in future games
i’ll just quote the post(s) when necessary in the future
oh yeah and thanks atlas for doing the convincing in f4 and for believing me in the first place
don’t thank me
thank my slightly above average skills in the 1972 game pong
i’m unreasonably sad about the 9-way rand not happening
