This is Frog. Helz plays very striaghtforward. In standard setups I play straightforward, but in semi-open setups I play more FPS. I rarely play closed setups, but I'd imagine I'd be more geared towards FPS, I'll try to limit that so this slot plays as one.
Could you expand on your logic here for why my points are mirrored?
Emotion can be a tool which can make someone unidentifiable from being both a town or a scum lead, hiding their true intentions whilst people would identify them for being either a null read. I just find that part of empathy because it just tells me that he is a scum read than a null.
The posts from page 13 are the most interesting, (From 20 posts per page), they showed more of a pro town move than scum, why I feel l
that he'll frog is strongest lead at the moment.
Would be nice if there were a counter wagon push about now
I don't know if i would say Hell Frog is the strongest read especially since Sen voted him.
I also don't actually like posting so many of my thoughts early because i can see it influencing Paladin.
Because you are regurgitating points that other players have made and acting like they are your own. You did this the last time you were scum.
Wouldn't that be the conclusion you'd reach from Appeals to Emotion and not just having emotions? You imply that Empathy orchestrated that to get off the hook.
How much do you think that could be accounted for by the change in heads?
At the moment, I am more inclined on a empathy vote at the moment

Copy Paste:
So if you're a villager, your two primary objectives this game should be 1) clear villagers and 2) find wolves. (Secondary objectives are stuff like 3) don't get lynched, 4) draw wolf nightkills if you're not a power role, and 5) use your powers effectively if you are a power role.) As I said before, it's best if you start with the default presumption that the people you're talking to are villagers, because 75 percent of the time, they will be. That leads to us using terms like ">rand villa" or ">rand wolf" to denote a read that someone is more likely than random chance to be a wolf or villa. Someone can be >rand wolf and still be a villager more often than not, and this is a really, really important concept. Werewolf is an inherently probabilistic game.
Just put people in buckets of varying confidence levels and see what shakes out, all the while keeping your reads dynamic and flexible.
For those who might find it helpful, here are some guidelines about the way I, personally, try to find wolves.
Ace of Spaids’ Five Rules of Wolfhunting
1) does this person seem like they have extra information? (like, do they seem like they know who's who when they're not supposed to?)
2) does this person seem like they have an agenda behind their posts? (like, do they seem like they're angling to subtly defend some people or subtly push other people?)
3) can i follow this person's thought processes? (like, does it make sense how they get from point A to point B in their reasoning, or do they make weird jumps?)
4) does this person seem pretty free-flowing and natural? (like, are they worried about how they're phrasing things, or do they just seem to be posting off the cuff?)
5) how does this person interact with others? (like, when someone asks them a question, do they respond in a natural way, or are they awkward about it? when someone pushes them, do they get overly defensive? are they ignoring certain things it doesn't make sense for them to ignore?)
6) my sixth rule of wolfhunting would probably be that people who seem to be putting an effort into blending in unobtrusively and going with the flow rather than making themselves conspicuous by their posting are usually >rand to be wolves
Basically, it's a lot like poker: what story is someone trying to tell with their posts? Are they repping villa credibly in light of their interactions and phrasings?
Also, remember: as an inherent matter, wolves have better information than villagers. This means that it is not wolfy for someone to be wrong. What matters is if it looks like they're being wrong in a systematic way in service of an unvillagery agenda.
My comment above still applies, but in general, I can't say I'm unhappy about having those rules from Ace on this forum.
I don't know why he posted this, but i feel we should pay special attention to number 6.
You see this people, stop voting me D1 because i look weird.
This is such a stereotypical game holy shit.
RL asking random
Frog giving guides
SJ trolling hard
whats next.
I know this meta usually doesn't apply here, but unless we're hitting a wolf wagon, generally the narrative is going to be a lot of v/v.
In other words - post count isn't alignment indicative, but post momentum and narrative setting can be easily seen when a wolf wagon is hot.
Of the active players atm, I see V/V/V atm.
I want to see the inactives take new positions.
Information Instead of Analysis
It used to be considered wolf alignment indicative, but that's since been largely disproven.
It's when someone posts common information instead of analysis posts.
The original thought was wolves could appear to be productive without actually being productive, but more likely than not it's just as simple as gaining insight to other players styles. Every start of every cross community game, championship or otherwise, begins with playstyles and IIoA.
At this stage in the game, it'd be nice to see 3 consolidated wagons instead of cross splash. Just from a mech POV.

Worth a read. Just scroll down and you'll see where we're coming from. Considering that I recently played a game there (and totally phoned it in >_>) I feel like I'm still thinking in terms of their meta.
I see, i was never a fan of all the terms and shit. Always felt elitist to me when people only follow a meta. For me its always back to the basics.
That being said this game is feeling like alot of people are not playing like their usual self. And i'm unsure yet if its the hydra or alignment indicative.
