Re: TWG CLXXIX: The Third FE Mystery Game Game Thread

my optimal play as either alignment is to claim a role to try killing precarious before me
because

I'm like 45/55 with the 55 being towards lynching precarious

And it's funny you're calling this out, I'm the one that pointed out the 8 night action part when players were discussing if Precarious should be directed.

Charu, have I done anything NOT wolfy from your POV?

hot take:
if roundbox was a wolf he'd just let this happen

You used your ITA on FFA, which was cool.

Re: TWG CLXXIX: The Third FE Mystery Game Game Thread

precarious was first in the shot order

his optimal play as either alignment is to claim a role to avoid dying before me

after he claims, the shot order is moved to me first

my optimal play as either alignment is to claim a role to try killing precarious before me
because
I know my own alignment, I don't know precarious'. Given his role claim, I think it was beneficial to try getting him killed before me, because if he's town, we both die anyway (due to the shot order favoring freezin)

had precarious died and flipped JOAT, I still would have rescinded my claim as it still had done its job

precarious keeps talking about his worldbuilding collapsing- according to golden silver this is the sure sign of a wolf in midgame. I don't know how much I trust him on that since that's not something that's hard to turn around imo

what's more telling to me is the fact that precarious is suddenly blissfully ignorant of my mindset after nailing it on the head not even halfway through d0

This post is why I kill precarious before ffa here.

It's not about who is acting town and anti town, because holding peoples behavior up to some static standard of optimal play is useless.

Town often doesn't act towny, or play optimally.

It's about connecting cause and effect and seeing if they make sense.

FFAs actions may be garbage but they make sense.

Precarious has behavior all over the place. The progression is very reactionary and feels not natural.

The irony for me is that FFA has been gung-ho for killing folk and when pressed Precarious claims a role that kills folk.

Re: TWG CLXXIX: The Third FE Mystery Game Game Thread

Also I heavily agree that a lot of wolves feel lost around midgame or endgame and have trouble hiding it


See: Sunfan in Wifom as the first example I can think of.

Correct!

Re: TWG CLXXIX: The Third FE Mystery Game Game Thread

At this point in the phase it's arguable that Prec vs FFA is a straight up 50/50, even though I still advocate for killing Precarious first because I'm going to hold onto my reads and instincts that he is the wolf in the pool until I see him flip.
