Because your take is ‘Marshal bad’ and discussing reasons why is more interesting
You see how that woulda worked out.
If I said “lolreactiontest” at that point, everyone would think it’s still a scumslip.
And sorry if I do care about not being scumread for an easily preventable reason.
I cared about making everything convincing as possible and I wanted everyone to think I was scum. I didn’t want to be held back.
Then I have a question for you: if you were so paranoid about being wolfread for the reaction test, why didn’t you anticipate that somebody might wolfread you for it?
as in somebody might wolfread you for the morse code thing
don’t get me wrong, I unironically think that’s a great reason to read you w, but I want to know why you didn’t think of that
There’s motivational inconsitencies all around this thing, see.
Let’s say for a moment Marshal is definitelly a villager.
Marshal creates a reaction test with an elaborate failsafe, but he can’t explain how specifically it’s going to bait wolves except in the most generic way possible, he spends ages trying to prevent “preventable wolfreads” but dosen’t consider the possibilities that either 1) people will still think he’s a wolf even if he does the Morse Code thing or 2) he could convince people it was a reaction test by himself by saying the most potentially convincing thing from wolfchat as possible without morse code nonsense.
He could’ve missed out on some of these, sure, but the man clearly put a huge amount of thought into the test, and even then it still dosen’t quite make sense, because surely he’s figured out these kinds of tests don’t work unless they’re pitched at the right time, right?
But look at his whole play and it makes sense. It’s a performance. He wants you to think he’s a villager, and nothing else. That’s it. That’s why you’d get so elaborate for no sizable gain. Think about the way he talks about his soft being cryptic (ew, by the way), and it’s reinforced: he dosen’t care about the purpose of his soft, only that he made one and that it’s really clever, we promise.
Long story short he’s a wolf and i’m getting him killed tommorow
can we get back to clearing villagers now
Sure
Can you talk to me about why you’re clearing Squid? She’s pretty null for me at the moment
Because she’s in her village meta when being moderately pressured: snarky and slightly agressive but still fundamentally pleasant.
think of it like a much milder version of my meta: she’s more pleasant when she’s a villager, but it’s not as ridiculous as when I’m a wolf
hmm, I’ll probably have to temper my read given that Derps actively chose his allignment if he’s telling the truth about his role (which he probably is).
