by "trying a bit too hard" I more mean his normal mannerisms feel sorta funky and put on.

I feel kinda bad for that read tbh cause if he's town he's just doing his thing but it felt like I was watching a TV ad of GH.

It felt to me like he saw a villager doing stuff and asking questions (insaner) and gave a townread on him without thinking about it much. Then was caught a bit off guard when a different villager (me) immediately disagreed and challenged him on it, and struggled to give a very compelling reason for the read.

I mean idk I famously wolfread gh early incorrectly all the time, but the way he didn't really engage with me on it and kinda just left is like... Classically how he interacts with me when he is a wolf.

if he is indeed a villager, I pretty consistently get there by the end of day 1, so I'm not too worried about it atm.

i'm missing context/history but it sounds like you're saying you read him really well but also really poorly, historically, and the confidence in reading him feels a little wonky given

that you read him incorrectly all the time, yet have this confidence in saying this is how he acts when he is a wolf. i'm not doing so good with the explaining thing, it just feels jarring/inconsistent in my head

when i say "early" I mean specifically early d1, but I usually will recognize he is a villager if he is one by the end of day 1

does that make sense?

i guess i can see the distinction. i'm used to just kind of picking someone and killing them on d1 without a ton of room for changing reads. once we lynch someone and can use our night actions then there's more to talk about

as I'm sure you will discover, my reads can be pretty fluid, hell just look at my insaner read this game for proof of that

I also prefaced it because it's something of a meme; I don't actually think I'm bad at reading GH, there was just a bad stretch of games awhile back (and I'd argue there were good reasons for the misread, and I also believe that I have learned how to read him better from those experiences anyhow). There have also been games where I read him quite well. There are some people who I just don't understand the way they behave and don't know how to read them, but GH isn't abnormally inscrutable or irrational or chaotic so I don't think of him that way.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Going to bed pretty soon.

Been listening to Jungle all day, watching those choreography videos are so cool. Idk how I haven't heard of these guys before, they have millions of views lol

If we put both our reads together we have him dead to rights.

We should hammer him before he becomes too villagery.
