Werewolf XLII, Mist in the Barrow Downs

[Gwathagor]

Ok, I've got a question for the experienced players (i.e. everybody except me): what did I do well this game, and what can I do better next game? Got to improve my werewolf-lynching skills.

Nothing and everything, respectively. Only backwards.

To be honest, you did REALLY well, considering it was your first game. But....well....Legate's just got mad skills (Cabbie and Rikae too of course) so you were pretty much dead from the beginning of the game. I'd just suggest you play a couple more games. You'll really get the hang of it after a game or two, speaking from the POV of someone who's only played like five games.

In the beginning it was a bit obvious that you were still testing the waters, but later on you really grasped things. All you really need is more experience. Werewolf isn't a science. Sure, we all use tools to find wolves/trick innocents, but everyone's tool set is different. Some rely on heavy analysis, while others go more on gut feelings. Some are loud and persuasive, others are quiet and observant.

You definitely seemed more confident at the end, and really, that's all you need. I'd even say you have an advantage over many veterans here in that you can look at everyone objectively, and you haven't started thinking in circles yet.

Agreed. Another piece of advice I'd like to give all newer players is not to trust anyone else's judgement but only their own. I was totally lead in my first game and I actually asked advice from more experienced players. Luckily, those whose advice I followed were gifted, but I could have had worse luck... But I don't think that is necessarily your problem, and like I said before, you played really well, especially towards the end.
