Alright, Arctic elaboration time.

I don’t have much experience with Arctic - we have one proper game played together, and he was a wolf in that one, but from what I’ve seen, he’s a very confident as scum, and rightfully so. The fact that the wolfteam he led had zero fear came across in the general gamestate to me before I even knew he specifically was a wolf. His opening posts in that game were, again, very confident:

(Fucked up the quotes thread is here: Bland & Flavorless Mountainous 15er - Mafia Winnered - #46 by Arctic)

hmmmm. honestly, i often find that eliza is actually more verbose as a wolf with her explanations for stuff because she’s trying to post to get townread and avoid scumreads, which is a consideration she doesn’t usually have as town.
have you seen eliza as a wolf before? and what was wrong with her opener?

meh, okay. in general though i find it a little odd that you believe eliza being concise is a scumtell particularly seeing as this is RVS and you haven’t seen her wolf before (i find it’s actually the opposite lol).
VOTE: May
you are being put in the naughty chair. whether you are mafia or were trying to reach for that read on eliza in an honest attempt to get the game going is tbd

He immediately recognized what I was doing because he knew I was town, and he also knew that I was making a push on a townie, so he was happy to state that my read fucking sucked, which it obviously did. These posts… should’ve set off more alarm bells in my head than it did at the time, but what can I say, I feel immediate kinship with anyone who will help me take a game out of RVS.

@Arctic

like i half thought it was a meme and you were just trying to generate reactions (which if you’re a wolf you will probably claim now )

idk man

@Arctic

@May

Successful.

this makes me feel like it was an RT so now i feel stupid for doing the exact same thing lmfao

@Arctic

On the other hand, here he sounds, like… totally different. Nervous, even. It feels like his mindset’s completely changed from last game, and my first instinct is that’s it’s townie, but… I don’t have a ton of experience with Arctic, so I don’t know how much he tends to intentionally shake up his wolfgames. I could see a world where this is an intentional avoidance of his tells from last game - he’s obviously aware that he’s a confident wolf and not a confident villager, and the fact that I managed to pick up on this immediately does mean it’s a bit heavy-handed… I’m not sure. I’m not supposed to say I’m not sure this early in the game, I’m supposed to build a wonderful palace of unfounded reads, but I sure am not sure.

This shit is my bread and butter as wolf. I notice so many more interesting towntells people do because I have TMI and can cite them in my reads to look smart

[Zugzwang]

yeah so this

@May

@Zugzwang

ok but like what about them feels awkward?

take a post and point out the words that were awkward, and rephrase it in a way that looks truly spontaneous to you

I’m sorry, professor, if you’ll see my earlier email, I am currently ill from COVID-19 and cannot complete any assignments right now. Please send them to me after class so that I can complete them in my own time.

@Zugzwang

was kinda hoping to wolf with may tbhtbhtbhtbhtb but this is fine too

@Zugzwang

this is proof that Cait is w/w with Arctic and is making tmi reads tbhtbhtbhtbthbthbthbthbthtbh

@Zugzwang

I have class starting now so bye thread

DON’T make me read 1000 posts when I come back

These are the three posts that stood out to me as awkward. I don’t know how I could rephrase them… they’re just, like. It’s imperceptible. It’s a texture behind your words. It’s all vibes. Subconscious pattern recognition. You feel very pushy about this.

you were actually RIGHT about the first quote there
despite being town I planned that pregame and thought ‘you know. this might be read as towny because a wolf would respect their partner more than to say that.’ which is in fact the read arctic and psyx made on it! (iirc the exact wording was decided in the moment, tho i had tried to make an exact draft)

PREDETERMINING OPENER, MODS TAKE HIM TO THE DUNGEON

[Zugzwang]

i think this was in reaction to my bad opener in sorc17er
idk for sure tho

[May]

It’s always interesting what people do with openers. I noticed a bit ago that I used to always open the thread with a reply to a random post as town (because I’d backread and something would catch my eye) but a cold open as wolf (because I would be too scared to randomly comment, I’d think more about my opener). Employed the strategy of responding against Litten in the BotF to great success

[Zugzwang]

i never wolf so i can’t compare my openers

[Zugzwang]

(iirc i have played like. 2 or 3 wolfgames this year??)

[Zugzwang]

and the hydra one is the only recent one
and that had a hydra opening so

[Zugzwang]

clearly this means that if i opener im town

[Zugzwang]

@May

This is the closest in this thread to the easy wolf shit but even then it’s like. A random walk of word-association thoughts. As wolf I’m more conclusions-first because I’m too focused on pushing agenda. Pushing agenda you see my posts and you can tell I have a point and an argument snd I’m trying to convince you and here are my structured ways of doing so. It’s how Litten and Arctic got me in FAM3

wow arctic thinks i’m a higher impact wolf

Stellaris: Apocalypse Mash - Day 4 (12/30)

Congratulations, Arctic! By liking my post you have become the lucky recipient of an “ISO”, also known as a “Reading in isolation”. You sound like you’re trying to kill people and I agree with you on Luka. I missed the Luka wishing for a town rand post that’s wolfy. From Luka. And hten I got bored and distracted Arctic sounds fairly normal and I agree with him and he’s not polarised so it’s kindof hard to read much beyond that without knowing anything about the poeple he’s pushing. Limit…

may
why was trying to kill people towny

[May]

I’m a higher impact wolf in that the impact crater left by me blowing up and dying is. Large

[tutuu]

[May]

Cause it is. He just sounded normal

[Zugzwang]

BY EXISTING RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE BECOME THE LUCKY RECEPIENT OF AN ISO.

[tutuu]

[Zugzwang]

idk about that
explain nya nya nya nya
if it was that he sounded normal why didn’t you say that instead of saying he wanted to kill people

[May]

Cause trying to kill people is normal for Arctic

[May]

You are very aware I am aware of this tell, you know
