2 things:

1) My reads this game were pretty bad, although I only had 2 days to play.

2) I maintain that I'm a terrible day 2 lynch. If anyone can honestly say that they'd pick me if they were an Alpha Wolf, they should be knocked down a few pegs in the BCS standings.

3) I really wish more people would be able to read me like traz can.

I was thinking about this the other day. Is this actually a good trait? It drastically skews your game towards good villager, bad wolf, but in general I think I would like it people were not sure of my role. Thoughts?

Agreed. Though keep in mind that this stems from people being sure I'm wolfy, and through 2 games they're right.

i almost considered picking you madtown

i picked jj cause he is a n00b and had a couple of recent tough wolf outings so i didnt think people would think id pick him. Then like chuck said, i figured people would think i would pick chuck, amp, oh or somebody like that, so then i knew i was picking either yuppie, madtown, or zero at that pt. I picked yuppie since i hadnt been a wolf with him since demon 1, and he made me laugh as the jolly green giant.

It depends.

Currently, I am a bad wolf (very transparent) and a bad villager (always draw fire; see this turbo). It would obviously be an improvement if I was more readable as a villager.

But ideally, you want to always appear villagery -- you avoid having the village waste a lynch on you as a villager, and you're not drawing fire as a wolf. I'd say ideally you should be good but not GREAT at finding wolves; if you're a great wolf-finder as village, you then become a frequent target for night-kills.

This lessens your wolf ability, because people start to become suspicious if you live too long.

So, IMO, the best players are those who appear villagery whether they are village or wolf, and are also above average at finding wolves when they're village (but not so good that they're considered a standard early night-kill).

Then you lose BCS points. Oh wait, you're an announcer. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Honestly though, the logic that "you're such a bad wolf, you'd make a GREAT Omega wolf!" is TERRIBLE. Every single one of my performances as a wolf has been really bad. I'm the worst wolf ever, period. It's not close, etc.

Further, if people didn't buy my argument that "I'm such a bad wolf that no one would pick me," WHEN I'M A VILLAGER, what makes people think that it would work if I was picked as an Omega Wolf?

Ship me a link to a wolf game, madtown. I want to see the carnage.

Gimme a few minutes to find one. STTNG is the last one, but there's a couple turbos too.

Don't worry about it. I was basically an evil in that game so now that you remind me, I remember your actions fairly well. Wasn't too terrible, but the wolves got owned in that game anyway.

you should go find that awesome one I was talking about earlier where me you and OH were wolves
