I don't know what you'd have thought. All I know is that you entered this game dead set on keeping that baddie hat on, only to drop it first thing when we got the roles.
Oh, but you misunderstood that bit quite nicely. I wasn't dead set on keeping the hat on. I was dead set on NOT BEING FORCED into taking it off.
Furthermore, if you know me a bit you'll find I am quite the impulsive person sometimes. I can and will change my mind on a whim. Keeps things fresh.
I know that very well and I was fully expecting someone else to vote me for it. That is a price I am willing to pay. From my point of view however you are still no 1, because I know that I am a villager. As such my argument is perfectly valid for me to use.
Again a page from my own playbook. Bravo!
I don't think there's anything that the wolves are particularly likely to do. What the wolves do depend very much on who the wolves are and how they interact with each other. I don't think it's unlikely to find you spearheading the village as a wolf.
Except that I've never done it before.
There's one simple dirty secret to finding wolves: Just put yourself in their shoes.
Let's, for argument's sake, take this game as an example. Let's say that you, boris, and me are all innocent. What would a hypothetical wolf do? Well, laugh, and then quietly vote for one of the three contenders, basing that on whoever has the most (edit: least .. doh) ridiculous case.
Now, let's say that Boris is a wolf, and you his packmate.
What would wolf-me do in your place, given the situation directly following my post about him?
1) Put my vote on a third party quietly, and try to stay out of it. (Like Johho just did ..
)
Lots of wolves do this. It's hard to detect though, since a lot of villagers do that as well.
2) Go after the person doing arguing. Especially if you believe the person in question is the Seer, which when you think about this from a wolves' point of view, might be something they might be confused enough into thinking about me. (I'm not. Really. Stop sending me PM's about it already, thanks.
)
3) Let the village bandwagon Boris, urge my packmates to vote him, and therefore condemn him to death - or better yet, force the village to counter the obviously ridiculous bandwagon with a wagon of their own on someone else. (And that really has happened once or twice.)
Problem there is - if the village picks up on it you're screwed, and you risk sealing a packmate's doom for no good reason. I don't usually do this, unless I think there's a good reason - in general it takes either a dead seer or a ridiculously suspicious packmate for the pack to resort to this, and so far I've only done this once - maybe twice, if my last win as a wolf counts.
Now, let's say that Boris is NOT a wolf, and you a wolf. I, of course, innocent.
Take a look at scenario 2, above. It would make less sense for you to go after me like this if you're a wolf and Boris is not. What do you care which of the two of us gets lynched? Unless you're arguing for the sake of arguing, (which is entirely possible, mind) it's a pretty oddball tactic to go after me.
Now, I am not you. Your emotional reaction may - probably will, in fact - differ from mine. But all of the above are valid tactics a wolf pack might employ. The trick is in taking perspectives like this and finding out which one you feel is the most likely thing to have happened.
There's a few other permutations I can think of, but some of them involve me being a wolf - which I'm not - and I'm not going to do that exercise for you. If I do, you'll accuse me of anticipating whatever argument towards my innocence follows, and doing whatever I am doing for exactly that purpose. That, however, is taking things to the level of ridiculous, so I won't go there
I suggest lynching Boris today, finding his identity, and if he turns out bad, lynch Najs. This way, even if randakar gets hunted today, we will be able to bag two wolves, which is a perfectly fair trade. Why Najs? Well, first because he advocated getting Randy lynched and second because "not that I mind Boris being run-up as well" is a baddie tell.
Since when did you start making so much sense?
To be honest though, I think najs more suspicious than Boris. Boris is just a "let's punish someone for being too quiet and not providing enough reasoning in the previous games" thing. Basically it's a CAWZ vote. Najs, however .. see above.
edit: I'll reïterate though, this is *NOT* an outing in any way, shape, or form. I am not a Seer and have absolutely zero knowledge of any scans on Boris. Thanks.
