Default Re: Reads - WW strategy

Generic reads
In long games, there are big things to look for in how a player plays wolf versus how a player plays villager.

Examples: Scott is a lot more aggressive as a villager (a lot more sharp). I'm a lot more aggressive and questioning as a wolf. Shorty tries to lynch villagers when he is a wolf.

These reads are important because they are easy to get, and fairly accurate.

Reads about specific posts that a player made take a lot more time, and are far less accurate than these generic reads based off many posts or a general feel of another player's posts.

Sometimes, you soul-read people. Realize who those people are and abuse that read. It matters.

For people you don't read well, do the exact opposite of following your gut. Focus on being player-specific. Maybe do the exact opposite of your gut. Have reasoning for making reads of players you don't read well.

Specific reads can help, but unless you nitpick multiple posts of another player, they will not be very accurate, and they give blinders.

Sitting back and using simple player-specific generic reads is far more effective than one would think, given time.

There, TLDR version + rewrote it.
