also @ ladd, i'm not going to quote specific posts of mine because i don't think that's really going to help anything

is less a "i did this specific thing" than a "i'm playing outside of my typical wolf range" in a fair number of ways and i'm disappointed people like gh in particular aren't picking up on that where i'd expect them to than a "i'm objectively super villagery"

in particular: i'm terrible at motivating myself to play as a wolf unless there's good reason to

if the game looks quite winnable/i'm widely villageread OR i have wolfmates i know and trust

i can easily outpost my village self if i need to in terms of general wim, whether that's length or frequency or intensity

if none of that is the case, well

i typically post like a wet paper bag pretty quickly

granted, if there's a four-wolf team that's perhaps not the most compelling argument but it's very definitely a thing

furthermore

this is sort of a two-headed point

number one, i bussed in some unfortunate places many years ago and the reputation has managed to stick with me for a long time since i've renounced the practice in almost all cases

if i did so in this particular game i'd be setting myself up perfectly for loads of fun in that department

number two as such my wolf game is typically to try to outvillage the villagers, which i actually manage surprisingly frequently, and then convert, which i don't

but i typically go out of my way not to bus and to sort of poke the game in different directions

which, let's be honest, hasn't really happened this game

i've been pretty passive and not expecting anyone to listen to me or trying to make them, but not in a dejected sort of way like i've given up?

iunno

it's a thing
