Back by popular demand, we have reinstated the gladiatorial games of old, to slake the bloodthirst of the SDN WW community (Seriously, some of you should seek help). We have quite the show set for the next few days, so if you're spectating, sit back, relax, grab some bread, and enjoy.

If you're fighting, repeat after me:

Posting a lot without any real significance behind their posts, feels like they are fluffing their post count on here to make it seem like they are an active contributor without actively contributing

Does it effect anything that the game only started an hour ago?

I can make a guess as to why Paws' is voting cubs and Bark and mpm are voting Dina. I'm asking you a simple question.

Not especially, it’s a wolfy strategy to seem like you are contributing without actually doing so, and trying to be funny/likable in order to deter votes. They have checked both of those boxes.

How is it a waste?

Whether someone was a wolf, a villager, other, screwed you over, called you out, etc. last game has no bearing on the current game. It’s a way to be lazy with your vote, making it a waste. Look what people are posting or how they are lack of posting, throw pressure their way, see how they react, pivot if necessary

I agree with you if we're talking about late D1 votes being with silly reasoning, but how are the first few votes supposed to be based on how people are posting?

It’d be more concerning to me if people stayed on their joke votes all day if there are better lynch candidates that come up later

Early day one votes should be to get the quiet ones talking in my opinion. Throw votes on people who are not very vocal, get them talking, see if they make a mistake. In my experience, many wolves(obviously not infallible) also tend to jump on the first vote of the game, due to eagerness of being a wolf; another reason for my vote going where it went.

But after a few votes, 10-20 posts, you should be able to obtain some analysis to start making some assessments for your votes.

Eh still skeptical about it, it’s quite easy to play the “whoops, I was gone for the day” card. But to each their own.

Well, Paws is one of the more vocal players, but okay. I still think early votes are NAI and only gain meaning as the day progresses and people respond to them. What do you mean by first vote?

I agree with the first part but, not the second. Day 1 chatting seems to be full of fluff imo (game 11 here so take this as you wish)

It’s a silly rule I go by, but my experience has it be right statistically more often than random chance. If they are either the first to post or the first to submit a vote in the game, they tend to be more often a wolf than statistics would dictate. Likely due to eagerness to post given the role they got. The other benefit is that quite frequently they are not a villager important role, normally those tend to chill back more to not get noticed. Could it be a very different scenario on this forum? Sure, but a) need to go with what I know and b) people on here are still people, and people will have emotions of getting excited for their role and having slips.

Let’s not talk about Statistics please

Sketchy
 
I'm actually voting Cubs because I have been 100% wrong about his affiliation every game thus far and I think he's an excellent wolf. Early pressure there to see some reads and reactions are important.
