it's a common trope in detective fiction, but also a part of guilt and human psychology

It's when the culprit of a crime wants to be continually attuned to the investigative process in order to... not be taken by surprise by certain results. And on top of that, by keeping yourself inserted into the discourse surrounding the crime, you are mitigating your own stress levels, limiting the potential of you making a big blunder down the line when you are called to the stand.

There are actually a number of psychological benefits to this kind of strategy. It's where the adage "the culprit always returns to the scene of the crime" comes from. Imagine if wolf-Shadow was less of a voice so far, and he didn't get attention until the end of the phase. He'd have a very hard time fighting against that accumulated suspicion. When you're active and opening yourself to scrutiny, you're in a state of safely testing the waters, "hiding in plain sight" as to avoid the UtR read, and calming your own guilty conscience.

That's the specific feeling I'm getting, the one I called "excess enthusiasm" and "being a a 12 year-old boy trying to seem mature."

If I'm being quite honest here, Wolf-Shadow would just not do anything. I've been reading your comments and I need to know just how many hundreds of feet of dirt you dug up to get into that tunnel you're in right now. Get out of it and see the light. You're wrong about this entire thing, and should I be lynched tonight you'll be catching a fair bit of flak for tunneling so hard into me.

DBP My gut is screaming that you're pushing on an easy mislynch and I'd be a fool to not call you on it

His inactivity is reminding me of his old wolf play and i got the same gut feeling last game with his similar play (and guess what he flipped). It might be a bit early since he hasn't posted anything but i think im comfortable with this vote for now.

I find it concerning that DBP hasn't posted once yet. He's either MIA or he's waiting to do his usual magic during EOD.

I legitimately thought this was only me, but I do remember a game where he did the exact same thing and was town. That being said I don't believe this to be an M.O for wolf DBP, but rather NAI.

The last time Storn was town read he nearly wiped out all of town before slipping up two minutes to EOD. Please keep that in mind as he's very crafty

i really doubt dbp pressure is going to do anything, as he's aware of his past meta and he's talked about his work schedule kind of making him regress to it, but afaik he can't post from work, so a wagon is not going to summon him

it's still a long day, at the very least

But it is his right to play at such a state. Just stinks for town because we'll have all these conspiracy theories

This ain't a good plan.

Last time DBP wasn't around then showed up at EOD, he was wolf. I voted for him solely based on this exact behaviour but nobody else voted with me... let's not make that mistake again eh?

If DBP shows up at the last second, that is going to make me want to vote for him a lot
