I actually managed to dash through this thread and get some ideas about what is going on, but to be honest I couldn't really draw many conclusions, and I was done like 30 minutes too late to change my vote. A few things are bothering me, but I'll need to go over the thread a little more carefully before really bringing anything new up to the table...
For the time being, I wanna talk about myself and what I've been up to recently. I know that a lot of the recent discussion was directed at whether or not people had been acting or sending messages, and it's been generally considered anti-town to refrain from doing either (and I was kind of surprised by the number of people who said they weren't acting or moving or sending messages). Despite my low activity, I've managed to send an action and/or movement every phase; I think the only phase I didn't act at all was the short phase. Messages though, haven't been very consistent.
- I sent Katze the "welcome to hell" message on N0, because it's her first game in CryWolf and I wanted her to feel welcome and loved ;w;b!
- I sent Raie a cryptic poem about The Woman With The White Umbrella that she completely brUSHED OFF as meaningless because she's a nerd
- I sent Hayley a message with a clue about the instance where I saw the number 1916.
- I sent Five a message, and I don't think I would be allowed to (or even interested in) elaborating its contents at the moment. What I'll say is that I don't know exactly how relevant to the game my message actually is, but that I sent it to Five because she seemed to be gathering a lot of information from other players and/or scenarios, and I thought she might have some useful insight.
These are all the messages I've sent so far -- I don't remember the exact phase I messaged Raie or Hayley and I don't feel like checking. These weren't incredibly useful for discussion, but it at least helped the three of us understand that we were all in the same area at the same time (which was further proven by each of us separately discovering the same set of footprints leading up to a missing piece of evidence). I also haven't been receiving many messages -- the best one I got came from Hayley, and she gave me a few tips about where to move next.
I don't think not sending messages is a necessarily anti-town thing btw? I know I've sent only a few messages, but that's just because I didn't have any relevant information. I was also kind of confused about the claiming rules for a pretty long time lmao #LucasCan'tReadRulez
Regarding night actions, I pressed the point that not all town actions are necessarily passive -- I have sent one night action during the game, and I targeted Raie on N3. Raie is one of the players I currently trust in this game, so interpret my choice of target however you like. At any rate, I can't tell whether my action had any real effect on her, and I would be really surprised if it did tbh.
Regarding the living players, I'm currently willing to trust Raie, Hayley and Five, as they've been extremely open about their info and helpful all-around. However, I know it'd be pretty absurd to think that mafia wouldn't try to seem open and helpful, so I'm also convinced that at least one of them is probably mafia. idk :-|a
