alright
so
surface level I liked mistyx getting in fights with people that had the vibe of her biting off the head of the other person while simultaneously not being angles that she continued to push beyond initial grievances
stuff like traveler discussion p32-p125
discussion of jarek backtracking p482-p560
literally all of the someone interaction
whisper stuff 925-926 leading into 944
A lot of this is abrasion that matches just reading thread and reacting to those problems
At a deeper level I related to the experience on a skim, feeling like the game was being played completely out of sight
to put up how I see the slot
Mist is generally abrasive to the general methods people use to play the game. She has an idea of what she thinks is good and hasn’t contorted that to better fit the game. This macro approach to the game bleeds village to me for reasons of ‘you genuinely don’t have to play like this, but you have and it’s not helping a wolf you and you’re still naturally responding to information in a way that is consistent with paying serious attention’
I would certainly like to have credible examples but I feel like mist’s macro approach is consistent with how she might handle more traditional fm and I broadly have found that people swing a lot harder in terms of swapping things up when they are a wolf because they’re naturally trying to game the system more (host experience talking)
also
I think their reads make sense rt various points I’ve looked at
idk this is a lot of words to say ‘the slot screamed town to me and theorying other worlds at most junctures didn’t make much sense to me’
