Oh man AM I feel for you, thats a rough way to go. RIP.
Not sure how much I can be on today so I’m just gonna get out all my thoughts in one go, hopefully check back in before last call for lynch.
I made this statement because its a tactic that has successfully caught me a few wolves before (granted I was able to use body language for tells and reads). Here's how:
I'm a villager. Being a wolf and making that statement with a bunch of veteran players would instantly label me a wolf because I know (hope) that you'd all see right through something like that.
Most likely reactions to my post:
Ignore it altogether
Nervous innocents don't want to paint a target on their back so they don't respond.
Cocky wolf responds with hand-raise gesture, hiding under the guise of sarcasm.
Nervous wolf responds saying they are a villager just to get it out there.
Smart wolf knows I just made myself a village target and either starts/bandwagons a lynch vote for me in order to get an easy 1st kill.
I fully expected a lynch vote for me to start because of this comment. I made myself lynch-bait on purpose. The telling part isn't who says what to the question, its who lynch votes for me.
I realize that by playing this card so early and explaining it so succinctly, I'll probably never be able to use it in another game, but I wanted to show you I'm no noob.
I have suspicions on who I think/know to be wolves, but for now I’m putting Sheltermed on the chopping block.
See above reasons. In addition, SM tried to make me a target by doubting my first post, saw that they had some traction with LIS’s vote and lynched me, made no contributing/gamesolving posts for the rest of D1 other than to cast more suspicion on me.
Also noted a pattern that doesn’t sit well with me. SM backs off of any line of questioning as soon as someone implies they are a wolf (posts #252 #221 #229) That to me sounds like a wolf or chaos trying to setup viable lynches, not gaining traction, and backing off.
Satisfied?
Now you see why more often than not I was made Ref instead of being allowed to play lol
