FTR Werewolf: Gold Rush (Carbon Poker Freeroll)

[wufwugy]

Pretty interesting. I think with all the heat being thrown wuf's way I was expecting to feel like he was more of a wolf, but the sentiments here make me feel the opposite. Wuf actually seems legit like he doesn't care about getting lynched, more about winning "himself" or being right. Kind of self-oriented focus, but tbh I feel like if he WAS a wolf there would be more of a non self-oriented focus. He'd try to at least hint at a "good of the village vibe." Is that crazy/does that make any sense?

luco def didn't post, not sure what this means in terms of wolf strat though. it could be that baud or wuf are villagers, and the wolves think that everyone is close to consensus on lynching one of them (it's swung back and forth a bit, but mostly focused on them), so it'd be a waste to nom one. aside from that I don't understand the reasoning at all - could just be to be as confusing as possible, and not really associate the death to anyone.

Back to baud, not convinced he's a villager, but wuf's arguments aren't convincing me he's wolfish either. For one thing, no one has seen baud play villager, and baud's first game involved him as the last wolf, coming in late. He had to be extremely into the action, thinking on more levels than he probably should have been, etc. I kind of feel like that's just carrying over here, and his so-called unfounded reads might just be experimentation with early-game villager strat.

It's hard for me to comment on others who have participated less, simply because I don't have much experience, but a couple things jump out about BID. It seems to me he hasn't posted tons, but has overall been willing to offer lynch suggestions. this strikes me as a wolfish strategy, hoping to start ripples toward consensus without having to go too in-depth about his own thought process. but I'm also a bit confused because he has changed vote a couple times recently. first to grayfox (jumping to consensus with baudib), then to baudib (with only 2 not-super-insightful posts from baudib in between). but in between THOSE, he claimed he might switch his vote to wuf (but didn't).

if I could see where he was drawing his conclusions from I might sense less of a wolf vibe from it. maybe I'm just not reading enough into baudib's pre-written post, or don't understand it well, but I don't know what to make of all the lynch-vote jumping.

I get an itching, crawling sensation at the first bolded section. That is just too specific of my personal sensibilities for a brand-newb to know. This has to have been discussed in the wolfchat. My rep is very much that my village play is narcissistic and focused on "winning himself or being right". The "good of the village thing" is also something that can be legitimately said about how I played turncoat. I doubt scourge would know this if somebody didn't tell him. The rhetoric is not the kind nubs use in the first place

The second bolded section is as if Baud himself explained it. How confident are we that scourge has examined that game enough to know this?

I talk to scourrge almost every day. I told him about last game while I was playing it. I told him that we can't talk about the game outside the thread and we've both respected that.

You're right, I couldn't really have known your rep. But there were about 400 posts in here before I even started to join the fun, and prob close to 100 of them were from you. My comments about the difference between your wolf and village play were based on observation and then speculation. I should be worried that you're so guarded of me now, but tbh I'm just excited that my ramblings were actually somewhat close to accurate.

I have virtually no knowledge of how you've played past games. Some from what's been said itt, but most of my thoughts were based only on your posts itt so far. Also, not really sure what you mean about the rhetoric noobs use. Are you trying to say I've played werewolves elsewhere? Not that you'd believe him, but baud knows this is my first game. I had to actually sit down and read what all the specials do. And since I AM a noob, I don't know what the statement about my rhetoric is supposed to mean. All my posts are kind of similar to each other in terms of how I write? So I'm not sure why that makes it suddenly suspicious now.

I haven't examined that game at all - at least not in thread form. And it being said as if "Baud himself explained it" makes perfect sense lol.

I talk to scourrge almost every day. I told him about last game while I was playing it. I told him that we can't talk about the game outside the thread and we've both respected that.

Baud has been the only one I've spoken with about that game. It was his first game so he was pretty excited, so I heard a lot about it. We also think pretty similarly in general, so it's not that surprising that the logic would flow in the same way.
