This a game were I tried a lot of solving. I went through the posts a few times. And I did not catch a single wolf.
What can I do better next time? Where should I've noticed something?
Clearing TS on the basis of being a one-shot role and basing the rest on that turned out disastrous but what else did I miss?
@Rakkoon I didn't follow this game too closely, so take all the following with a grain of salt.
I noticed a significant uptick in your solving and WIM.
In my headspace I was like, "
wow he's different. I wonder if that makes him scum?" Because you were blatantly very villagery to me in the game before this one. So this was different and I was like, hmmm maybe he's one of those peeps who likes being scum more. And that was wrong. But I wasn't paying close attention. I bet if I were paying closer attention I could have gotten there.
Also, I
like this level of input from you, and I don't think you should make a conclusion about how well you played based on one game outcome. It's a guessing game and no matter who you are, you will guess wrongly sometimes.
Your process here I think was better, and even if it didn't lead to the exact right answers out of one game's worth of example, keep at it. I think you will do just fine.
Also, everyones solving and case work was thrown off due to the rhyming. It made the game harder to parse.
Dolbster was the one I saw who adapted to it as well as he could but there's still no dead woofs this game. That happens. It's like when people did Night of the Werewolf really early on, and it was more roleplaying and shot in the dark voting than anything analysis-oriented.
Keep at it, this newer style. I think you were just fine. There's a danger in being too results-oriented, it can teach you the wrong lessons.
Like, sometimes as a wolf tell, I see people use the word "honestly" a lot, but it's hardly a surefire thing, and then other people use that word a lot more than average person does, so.... the process is silly, but it became part of how I hunt wolves because of the results.
But the results are really bad if that person just says that word a lot. What's true for one person isn't for another, a lot.
Or when people say that a person's post is "interesting" (meaning "yeetable") but without calling their post wolfy or suspicious or scummy, I considered that a tell because it's been true for the past many many many games, a wolf has done that.
But
also villagers have done that too and you can bias yourself by focusing on results only. Or ignoring context, where the word isn't being used as a substitute for "yeetable".
Process is superior. Process wins over a long period. A good process can deliver bad results but you can figure out WHY they did, which means you can improve more.
Whereas blind guesses on no process and biasing yourself based on past results, is something you can't autopsy. It's not fixable.
You had a better process this game. More WIM, more solving.
Keep at it. The same guy that found several wolves suspicious the previous game and put em at the bottom of his leans lists is still in you, but here, you were more influential to the outcome of the game I think, which helps as any alignment, especially if your guesses are right and you're town, and you were more visibly trying to solve the game I think.
This one game result shouldn't discourage you from following this path forward. You're on the right track Rakkoon, imo. Guesses are guesses and there's always next game to guess again.
I had no idea there was a bulletproof vest in the mayor's office anyway.
