Chloeās Tips and Tricks to Hopefully Not Get Decimated
Disclaimer: I have ~zero clue how to play closed/rolemadness setups, and vanilla games are goat
1. Read every post.
Even the long ones like this. Donāt go āooo wow long post ok this is probably town,ā and instead absorb the content. Our site has a horrible horrible habit of constantly posting one-liners, and seeing wallposts as being townie af, or just ignoring them as a whole. This is dumb. We should change this. Itās really really bad.
2. Donāt play like this is mountainous.
The game isnāt mountainous, so donāt play like it is (as much as I want to). Context and timing for claims should be taken into account. Legitimacy of claims should be taken into account. Checks and mech info should be treated with a grain of salt, as we canāt possibly know everything that happened action-wise, but should still be taken into account. That being said:
3. Donāt overly rely on mech info or claims.
Claims donāt clear you. Your claim should not be the only thing stopping you from being an elim. Play the game, and allow us to find you socially, if youāre town. Just because someone claims something powerful or odd that you ānever see as being scumā does NOT mean they are not scum and you no longer have to read them. If people who claim powerful shit live to lategame, something is wrong. Alsoā¦ DONT IMMEDIATELY OUT YOUR CHECKS. Allow time for spew! Donāt jump the gun because itās exciting.
4. Fuck meta (except when it actually does something).
We suck at metareading. Nobody in this game has distinct meta that bars them from being a wolf. Meta is a crutch that we are allowed to use (and Iāll definitely rely on it it a bit lol) but should never be the main basis for a read.
5. PLAY BY POE
Everyone wants to find wolves. I get that. We all wanna be the hero who solves the game and dunks on every wolf ever, but that isnāt how you win. Earlygame idc, go ham, but the best way to get a dub is if we find villagers and donāt give the wolves any wiggle room. (Yes, Iām linking That One Newcomb Article, eat me). Form a towncore and work together. Donāt try to be a hero.
6. Donāt hyperpost.
Hyperposting makes your ISO a pain to go through, and will make it infinitely harder to figure out what your reads are and/or find you as town. I know itās fun to hyperpost and meme and shit, but likeā¦ I like to win, so letās do that instead. Wolves can fit in much easier if we allow them to top the postcount and clog the thread. So donāt!
7. Donāt be stupid.
