I can do both!!! You don’t know!

Was just wondering where you’d gotten off to. Have any thoughts on the game? Did you drink your milk today? #StrongBones #BoneHealth
God I don’t want you to be wolfing at all.
Actually you asking it that way made me consider that I have no clue so it's probably just v/v
That is not helpful to my not wanting all those village leans

I want to hear more from Vis, fluff, and O2. I'm also trying to decide if I think Cray's improving or not.

Milk was not acquired today because I pace myself when a jug isn't already opened.

Imma be honest the most tickled I got was zuri’s and O2’s entrances and I don’t know if it’s noob bias or my noob wolf filter

Wait why do you not want to hear more from zuri?
 
He's been playing too much popcorn
I barely post in popcorn. I just read and shoot. Occasionally ask an absurd question I use to solve the game somehow.

Unless I don’t have the gun. Then I post like Meryl Streep angling for an Oscar.

Sorry :laugh:
I'm pretty comfy with throwing a bunch of people in village reads d1 and then thinning the herd as needed. It's how a wolf usually gets in my village leans but typically someone else will find those...

Yes, in this scenario you don't have the gun

This is a good question. Not feeling good about the Zuri slot. I do think the vote for me was too forced.
 
I’m just surprised he wasn’t on a list of people you wanted to hear more from with his 3 posts.
I'm waiting to see what he does this cycle. The rest know what they should be doing.
 
Wolfy as heck

@samac, who are you eyeballing most, if you had to pick a yeet right now?
 
So is someone LHF if they get caught wolfing early?

Oh my bad. I’ll wait until tomorrow.

Oh huh

*scribbles furiously in notes to hmm everything from everyone all the time*

Tho dubz I usually like to snap read you village.
Why I no do that this game?
Be more village-y so we can blocc pls
Someone is LHF for a multitude of reasons. I put fluff in that category without having extensive knowledge of their meta or past games because of the following: 1) when under heavy sus, they were not particularly successful wiggling from yeet (I honestly thought it was said in a past game that she gets yeeted a lot and easily), and 2) they are a noob.

Most noobs lack substantial yeet armor or yeet defense skills, comparatively speaking of course.

The need to wiggle from yeet is never more crucial than when one is a wolf. Being correctly yeeted as a wolf early in game, the fact it was correct does not make that person any less possible LHF when village in another game. Wolves in a new game may try to draw parallels to prior game and try to stoke paranoia and use the recency bias. The fact the person was correctly read as wolf and yeeted by village does not make them any less an attractive possible target, unless the correctness of reads extends to when that person is village. So fluff being correctly yeeted as wolf one game has little bearing on making a case she may not be good LHF in another game.

Unless of course she has the bad luck to be wolfing this game, I dunno.

I default that noobs are LHF until I have good reason to believe otherwise. Skilled wolves or wolves with greater yeet armor can often get them yeeted.

It also matters less who *doesn't* think a noob is good LHF. The people arguing otherwise, like, assuming they are telling the truth, if they're not wolfing it's immaterial if they would or wouldn't try to misyeet certain noobs. It's more relevant what potential wolves this game might think.

History favors wolves trying to misyeet noobs (exhibit 10th Ann game) or ghosty players (exhibit me last game).

If the wolves are in fact noobs themselves (exhibit last game) or players that aren't going to try to make a play for noobs, coolio.

Doesn't change the fact noobs are definitionally and historically LHF and it stands to reason to eye anyone trying to get them yeeted.

Tldr and if I wasn't clear, the answer is the ease with which a wagon gets going and results in a player's death, is how I define it. Whether or not the village is correct in yeeting the person is irrelevant to how I categorize someone as possible LHF. And it's only the current wolf pack's possible interpretation of their chances of success and how likely they are to make a push that really counts.

I mean, you said yourself this crop of noob is playing exceptionally well. So I don't think we need to downplay their ability to project villageyness just because they haven't been playing for years.

LHF =/= noob. It applies to all experience levels. It just comes down to a combination of how many people you can correctly convince you're village + how many people you can incorrectly convince you're villgae (while wolfing). If you can at least one most of the time, you're not LHF.
 
Wait have I seen this officially spelled out?
No I'm kind of joking. Except for the part that you can base a vote on emoji use in posts. You can also base it on grammar and punctuation. I once saw someone yeeted essentially for using too many exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!! .(RIP @SoFloGryffindor). I agree D1 votes to get going are often based on small things, I'm jus saying it doesn't have to be salt over a past game.

The salt votes feel "safer" because people more readily accept them, this is why they feel more opportunitistic to me. Because if you go after someone for these other reasons, you're more apt to ruffle feathers in a way that tends to not make you look too good. So in a way it's sticking your neck out. Villagers often do this more bravely D1. Wolves often don't want to rock the boat that hard.

To be fair I think wolves have been correctly identified by these small things. I think there's more utility pushing someone over something, no matter how slight, they actually *did* *this game* over salt votes. Not say that all salt votes are useless, I get the way WZ and AM and others might use them.

Salt votes by villagers also don't always invite the wolves to join in opportunistically like actual criticism of another player's play in a given game going on might.

Encouraging other than salt votes, like giving a reason besides salt, if villagers do this it puts more pressure on wolves to give a reason besides salt.

I've been saying this about salt votes for years though.
 
I thought itt they made comments like "what is pocketing" or "explain the eye twitch" that seemed nooby, and I don't recognize the username as one I've played with before
I’m very noob, but also live with and am married to @justafluff so I’ve heard a little bit about this game and tried to play once but quit after getting too tired of going back and forth with Mel in a bowling game. And I’m almost certain to faceplant and get murdered one way or another in a few days or get pocketed ruthlessly and dragged to the finish line certain of a bunch of bull****
