Arctic tends to act defensive and indignant as town in a way that I think is strictly against his benefit in terms of not getting voted out. I really don’t have enough sample size of his wolfgames to know if this is the case, but it seems like the kind of thing that one would tone back if, you know, not getting voted out is one’s wincon. It’s not the strongest of reads, hence why it’s called “Towny enough for me for now” even in a no-hedging-allowed earlygame reads post, but it’s a thought I had.

I actually did that in my past wolfgames because that’s how I like playing town. That’s how I tend to play offsite. That’s how I imagined my towngames. The reality was that I was usually much more scattered and offhand around here, for multiple reasons, and upon realising that I was like “damn, that’s the problem, I should be playing better as town”, but I randed wolf three times in a row, so all I really could do was imitate the scattered-to-the-wind version of myself that I was in the past. Now I get to change things up. And open with what is both a wallpost full of reads given before dipping, and an esoteric towncase on you. I actually explicitly scumread you last game because I knew you’d caught me off towncases twice. Who’s the wolf now, wolfreadboy
Anyway, I think the broader thoughts floating around on Zug are currently that he’s towny, so let’s talk about that more, chat, shall we?
I feel like he’s thinking too much about the fact that he’s making reads. I think my read might come in no small part because…
…he’s repeating something over and over again in his posts, which I tend to do as a stress habit(, nya), which I am not sure is a read that is very broadly applicable outside myself. Most people do not have my specific brand of issues.
Even with that aside, I think his posts are weird. He announces he’s leaving thread very loudly. He goes all “don’t make me come back to 1000 posts”. It doesn’t feel like an organic shape to me. It’s not a sharp one, either. It is like… half a footprint. To me. Warped strangely. How could you all townread someone whose posts warp strangely
I see, thank you! I explained above why I disagreed with this logic, and it def doesn’t apply to me at the very least, but I see.
I want to see Caitlin give thoughts on this, or at least attempt to before dismissing it as no explanation can be given. It is def not Caits first game tho, and they’re def a good player.
Kind of connecting things to past games / showing thinking, but this post still isn’t my favorite. If her start there was akward and she was town I see no reason to push it here ngl, however you did say it was slightly worse so ill let it pass.
This post surface level is townie but I still want the thoughts lol. I see no reason why it would hurt you to give your thoughts on this matter. All it does is fuel progression.
Where did they say this?
My vote at the very least is more for pressure as to anything else.
I agree that its weird in a sense, but I do also agree with the logic presented by why they would think that. Im not looking to much into it at the very least. This post gets a TL from guav for not following general consensis when that consensis is reasonable, but not a strong one. Id cait or guav flips scum look into the other.
Ive seen you do it like. 6 times as town and 1 time as scum(the latter you specifically asked me not cait despite cait being in the game) so id argue much more as town than scum. I also kinda have a meta reason for calling you good that I dont want to share.
This is probably the best opening so far. Just townie in general, id give this a town lean.
I disagree with the read but it is a meta read so I cant say much; overall it doesn’t feel forced yes but it doesn’t feel screaming pure either.
I have seen like 5 posts from you and I already want to be wolf with you so shrug
I once again disagree with this, I feel as though they come off naturally. However, coming off naturally early game is kinda nai imo; its mostly playstyle for early game agressiveness(I think Ive said this before). Id put Zug at null.
I will be holding you to it, but I do agree with this that it is townie. It is also easily fakable so im not really putting to much weight onto it; and id still like the information.
I agree, but I feel as though town wouldnt be hyper concerned with it either. Garfooled is townie tho; there posts come off as natural and townie alligned. I also had other reasons and I forgot…
Pocketing attempt spotted… roll charisma…
Being defensive isnt really townie or wolfy; both allignments are defensive.
Thoughts on May: Bit worried about a potential pocket, disagree with a few of there reads. Despite that, early game comprehension of what’s going on and progressing the game with a gamestate + pointng things out that nobodys pointied out(that I agree with) is townie. Town lean on May’s slot.
Why would you town read me for this? Wouldnt that be scummy?
Hmmm… Sure! Abbi locked town
I will.
Applying pressure isn’t really a weak reason.
Cait is a scary player and I cannot read her very well, so I’ll trust this meta read somewhat given we’re masoning.
She openly said at the start of her post that she cant do things differently as wolf as thatl get her scum read or something similar; overall id say it leans good were this to be true.
To be clear the “hold me to that” was about actually leaving thread and eating dinner. I have bad habits. I ate dinner so nobody needs to hold me to anything anymore. I’m not explaining the Abbi read because I Don’t Want To.
[I could explain the Abbi read if anyone is genuinely confused but it’s pretty self-explanatory I think. She is very indignant and pushy and not unwilling to let bias show and it’s towny. She moves so energetically. It’s towny.]
[Also, Luka, if you’re interested in any further pocketing, I signed up like 50-75% because I read like 5 posts of yours in Owl House and already wanted to play mafia with you. This is in square brackets because I am modifying the Blood on the Clocktower setup right now.]
