Default Re: TWG 199: The Reaper's Game -Final Remix- POST GAME

I forget the name of the axiom, but when I played my champs game last season, the issue of fake claiming came up because I was INSTA'D as the JOAT in my game due to some fakeclaiming shenanigans. the axiom goes that in fakeclaiming situations, the first claims in a thread are more likely to be wolves

there's a huge rhetorical advantage you get by claiming first: it frames the current game state around your proposition and players start solving from there
this gives the most advantage to the wolves considering they benefit the most from such a paradigm shift. if they claim first, it gives them that framing advantage. any delay in response just gives the thread time to start solving from the "solved" point of view with the new claim. we saw this happen this game with Haku getting advantage over raeko at first.

obviously this is just one of those informal axioms like the Manti rule, so take it with a grain of salt
