No, actually Yurt was playing rather subdued on D1. It wasn't until D2 that he was cleared by SF as being a spastic idiot but a villager that Yurt just simply played the village idiot role that the village had bought into and did a great job of it. At that time I started playing more openly to draw attention away from Yurt on the basis that he had pretty good cover and that sacrificing myself would be worth it if it gave him even more cover. So I wasn't really overly concerned about being suspected as a wolf or even getting lynched though I didn't want to push that envelope to far.Generally agree except Yurt was doing anything but hiding.
Now if you are saying that one of your strategies was for Yurt to be his spastoid self and that most would read that as “Yurt being a spastoid” then I say kudos. I doubt that you could have that conversation with Yurt because well, he is a spastoid.
Now if you held that in secret then I say hats off to you.
In future games Yurt may have to be an early peek
I do agree that people tend to be afraid to make mistakes because let’s be honest who wants to be compared to you?
Personally I am all about taking risks so while I know Superfreak will never agree I have zero regrets about that particular move.
One could say that I drew too much heat early and that is fair and I have given it thought. But heading in I thought if I lay too low it would raise suspicions amongst both wolves and villagers.
In the end one of my flaws is I am very competitive and I hate to lose. I hate when there is a lull in the game and nothing going on or people throw out irrelevant posts. So then I tend to post a lot. Nature abhors a void. That gets me in trouble
Grind touched on a very salient point earlier. People tend to make the mistake in thinking that one particular event is the sole reason for an outcome. For example many are trying to paint my outing myself as the reason the Village lost. Was it part of the overall story? Of course. The sole determinant? No. Anyone saying it is either doesn’t understand this game or is being disingenuous.
Any objective read of the game heading into D3 had you getting lynched and the wolves in their death throes.
Was it Rune’s vote that caused us to lose? No
Jade and Tsuke being new? No
Threedees vote? No
USFs cutesy act? No
No none of those on their own, but combined they proved devastating and allowed you the chance to win.
It was still fun and now I will forever be able to make Yurt my puppet
The thing that save our asses was the villages poor play on D3 and that we worked very well as a team.
