Conclusion: So, you've read that wall of text, you have a few Town strategies in mind, but not so much to say about wolves? Well, you're mindmelding with me if you're here. I did this to show that it's still not so obvious to backtrack wolves. If you want to find them, you'll have to also rely on reducing your lynch pool by making a town circle and asking others about second opinions etc. The rest of this post is about that.

theoretically "searching for a town circle" makes sense, but that behavior makes it extraordinarily difficult for other towns to determine your alignment, at least based on this behavior alone

the motivation for town is hunting wolves and this is usually easy to notice from other players. At least for me personally, there is something base, something primal about hunting for bad guys. This mindset permeates most of my non-shitposty actions in this game. This mindset is comparatively easy to locate and is a reason why I am often townread when I'm town. That mindset of "hunting wolves" is hard to replicate for most wolves, me included.

So I would posit that "hunting wolves" is a better behavior than "solving the game" on average. It makes it easier for other members of town to correctly identify you.

"Solving the game" arises as a consequence of "finding the wolves", not the other way around.

i dont get how that ruins my credibility either because like it should also be obvious that the reads list was a joke more so than anything.

Haku, did you write any parts of that before you opened your role PM?

i dunno about completely but i did get the vibe that a lot of that post was written before he knew what his role was

This bit in particular felt like a sort of pivot in the post. While finding towns is helpful to scumhunting, the amount of emphasis made on making a town circle gives me weird vibes when Haku comes right out the gate with a huge amount of content. I can see Haku with a tryhard partner wanting to push getting townread quickly.

I'll get back to you all on that

Making a town circle in this game is especially dangerous because this roster has several players that are capable of achieving deep wolf status. Thinking in terms of town circles runs the risk of not paying enough attention to players that need a lot of it just so you can get to a POE solution.

If you really want to think in terms of town circles, do it in more than one universe, be aware of players that are unsafe to assume are town even when they are acting really towny.

THE WHOLE THING???????

you wrote a giant-ass post coaching town before you even knew your role

alright that's pretty incredible

I said I would do this at the end of the previous game.

Honestly this sucks because I'm getting 0 feedback about the content of my post. I only get people reading my alignment for it.

am currently in another game as well as this one; will be paying attention to it over this game so long as I am alive and the game is running

@Hakulyte, do you think making a joke reads list is Alignment Indicative?

TFW you think everyone is overreacting to everything

@Hakulyte, do you think making a joke reads list is Alignment Indicative?

Also, thanks. To reiterate, 100% of your entrance post was written before you saw your role? You didn't go back and edit any of it after?

i don't get what you dont get. it doesnt matter if someone has posted or not they get a wolf lean because i don't know their alignment
