Werewolf - A political simulation

We can’t let the Werewolves win

I suspect Jane is a Werewolf because she’s running the show this round. She’s keeping the spotlight on herself, and that means she’s excited; she’s got a lot of energy and, I suspect, a thirst for blood.
I’m being quiet. Intentionally. I’m waiting for her to accuse me, and I know she will—and that’s when I’ll blow her cover and expose her as a Werewolf. I can set this trap because I’ve played with her before and I know that she believes what I believe:
“We kill the quiet ones because they aren’t helping.”

The upshot... if you want to learn how to survive in a political environment (society) with professional liars, you may have to learn to be one. An admittedly dark and controversial point-of-view.

Great article........pretty much sums up politics, work, and high school.

LIFE is all about the people skills......AND survival skills ;)

Learn how to lie without the guilt or getting caught. What’s the difference between sinning by omission, twisting the facts, and outright, blatant lying? What kind of a lie is a temporary convenience versus long-term trouble? How many lies can you tell and still keep your story straight? What are the keys to a convincing lie? What does this particular group of people want to hear? “You can’t kill me—I’m the Seer and I know who the Werewolves are… really.”


(puts on Paulie Walnuts voice) I saw a 'terapist a few times. She told me the white lies were OK so's I didn't go talking my way out of situations by being the secret boy scout I really am.
