I miss this thread. I'm free to give advice to anyone who wants it (plus points if I've played with you before), and to anyone from this thread who would like more advice (I have thoughts on Grendel's questions but not if he's not gonna come and read it).

Yo I sent you a PM but that game doesn't actually have you in it (unless you're a hydra?) so lemme know if there's a different game.

Hm. I think you're good actually. Thor and TSQ probably offered better advice than I ever could, since I wasn't in-game trying to read you.

You were lynched due to PoE. wilky was town by easy logic that NSG figured out.

Didn't read the LyLo quote walls because you and wilky were both forced to come up with something to lynch the other, and that kind of thing is NAI.

But yeah, preventing that PoE in some way with better NKs would really have been your main way to win.

Thanks, I'll have to think about kills more. I typically make oddball kills.

Oh yeah charisma always helps for sure. TSQ and Thor already talked about that, and working on charisma is a great way to improve both games. People are more often lynched/not lynched based on that, regardless of their alignment.

But more charisma wouldn't have won it I think. NSG nailed wilky as town based on end-of-day factors you couldn't control, which then fucked you.

For charisma, I recommend (as general advice, not actually based on your play):
- emulating players you find to be charismatic
- avoid nervousness or too much public self-awareness and self-consciousness
- when talking TO people, always act like they're town. if you talk to people like they're scum, it looks like tunneling (no one likes that), doesn't help you if the are town, and scum will just act more like town anyway since they know you're scrutinising them.
- when talking ABOUT people, make insightful but not 100%-sure observations. "I" statements are pretty charismatic even in real life. "I believe this is scum chainsaw defending" rather than "This is scum chainsaw defending, guys!" People LOVE it when you make confident but willing-to-be-wrong comments.
- lastly, just do a search on the wiki for articles that mention charisma. Check the Mastin Academy thread, I'm pretty sure she's done a few bits on charisma and how to work with others.

I prefer micros and mini's. Most likely a micro for now so I don't overload myself too much.
