I'm not a fan of "if I were a wolf I would/ wouldn't do X" type logic, because as you say it's WIFOM, there's no way to prove you're not doing the opposite of what's expected to throw people off. That said, which game were you a wolf in? I haven't played with you before, so I may take a look at that.
Here's a link to an article I really liked about WIFOM.
Let's talk about WIFOM - MafiaWiki
"Please don't ridicule people because they "use WIFOM arguments." Because as I believe I have just proven, concisely and strongly, every argument is ultimately victim to the WIFOM category. We can debate back and forth, "If X were wrong, he'd never do this!" "What? That's just what she wants us to think!" "That's stupid!" "You're stupid!". But ultimately we need to come to a mutual agreement about how certain persons act, and we shouldn't feel scared if we are incorrect.
The more active and vocal a person is, the more likely they are to be in the public's consciousness, and the more likely they are not only to be criticized for, but also to be investigated. This in no way is what the other people are seeking. I am firmly of the opinion that other people simply wouldn't do what I've been doing, and I ask you to look inside and realize that I am right."
Basically, all arguments are subject to WIFOM. So when you ask yourself if someone is acting as villager or as wolf, you just have to make a judgment call what makes the most
sense based on all your data points in game and your meta read,
for that person. That's how I do it, anyway.
“If I were a wolf....” is pretty much what Crayola offers every single game. Crayola spends 90% of his/her posts talking about Crayola.
Cray cray is a mighty she-woman. How do you not know this when I spend all this time talking about myself????
is it wolfy for her? I think I've played exactly 1 game with her
The WIFOM? Not at all wolfy for her.
The overreaction? I guess, in all honesty, not much. She tends to get verbosely defensive quickly. But that one felt like a lot even for Crayola.
I dunno. It’s a good point. Maybe I should move my vote. Hmm.
I just keep wishing CrayCray would move from 75% defensive play to 75% offensive play.
LOL, the one time I wolfed so many people had me pegged
for sure because I didn't sound right, and I wasn't defensive enough. Turns out I can't actually manufacture the overreaction.
Fair point, though. It does help to have honest straightforward (yeah, this is me trying to be straightforward) play as a meta you build for the village.
I really would like to hear more from Allie today to decide if I want to keep my vote there. Also having slight feels for FTB and Crayola, but willing to hold off on Crayola for now if she's always like this.
Always like this.
ETA:
the thread where I wolfed with LIS, Pippy, and StayPos:
♪ ♫ Every Day I'm Shufflin' WW Game Thread ♫ ♪
Summary: LIS is the sort of villager that is so hard to catch when wolfing that he's terrifying. StayPos plays more innocent than she is. Pippy is just pure fun evil. I'm.... Cray cray?
