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.

Wolves are usually hiding behind weaker towns and throw them to their deaths by outplaying them. If town knew the actions/intentions/motives of each players better, they could figure out that the player in question doesn't fit a wolf profile.

TWG works with the idea that we're already within a pool of suspects. Everyone knows 100% that there's 2 wolves and 9 towns here.

Maybe you're a badass, will outread everyone, find both wolves and convince town to vote with you, but this is a lot easier if you simplify the game by solving towns as well.

Every time you solve a town, that player can focus 100% of his attention into solving the game because they're not longer under any threats besides NK.

I understand that you may want to maintain a certain playstyle for consistency, but my point is that we can do both.

If you want to stick to just finding wolves, that's fine, but I kind of want to do both.
