I think those reads can be used in a scummy way too, though. If you’re reading people town for contributing, what are you trying to do as scum? Contribute. What better way to contribute than to APPEAR like you are contributing with reads that you don’t realize are not great?
Richard does have a huge amount of confidence and states their reads in a way that makes them appear as fact. I can see why somebody would wolfread this, however, I’ve seen that sort of thing come from newbie villagers several times.
I will come back to that if a high-poster is a wolf. It could be a clever way to push the agenda of “the wolves are low posters.” I would still be impressed by Richard’s play if they are a wolf, however. His progression on Derps felt stellar, and as such, I don’t believe they have TMI.
I don’t think his readlist exuded confidence. Most were hedgy town-reads, which are easy to produce as a new wolf.
Now if he was bold enough to make a wolf accusation, id have looked at that post with a more open mindset.
Wolfreads as newbie wolf are a lot harder to make because you open yourself up to criticism. Most new wolves will just follow the crowd, much like he’s done with the “Sulit not talking” read.
Sulit, and don’t do that because it brings this to L-2 before we’ve even had a full day of discussion.
Yeah L-3 is fine but we’ve got some nuts on this forum that could bring it quickly from L-2 to lynch without thinking.
Obviously unless Sulit provides irrefutable evidence of town, she’s the hang but we don’t need to bother even reading her. She’s bountied, Its a waste of time.
I don’t like the wagons being easy as hell to hop onto. Gives wolves easy opportunities to vote. Valid counterwagons should become a thing here.
Walks out the door.
I’m actually ok with being a counter-wagon if your vote is legit and not just a placeholder, but the days actions are pretty set unless we trust Arete enough to just pass them through to towncore. I do feel Arete is solid enough town this game though.
Id only worry about an Arete conversion. Its a SPC and an obvious choice, so I do hope Arete was convert-guarded last night.
…also Marshal mentioned a scout on Arete and died. Hmmm.
I would probably check Arete tonight if I was an investigative.
Any thoughts about only one nightkill being there? We might have had a save. Which is weird, because if so, the kill was either on Richard (who was jailed), an unlikely nightkill target… or on Arete, who was probably healed last night (and also an unlikely nightkill target, because they were bleeding). Amelia did not guard.
If anybody thinks they got a save, it may be wise to crumb it or out it if it’s beneficial.
Also.
Highkey thinking Marshal nailed a wolf in one of these posts, which contributed to the nightkill being on him regardless of possible protection.
Or it was Richard, since it makes more sense than someone hitting a newbie who didn’t look particularly town D1?
I also have another theory but its a waste to mention it. A random save could be it too.
