i lost

Just finished a Champs practice game. It was incredible.

I came into the very last day, F3, pretty confident I knew who the wolf was; someone who had been suspected all game, someone who was in all the dead villager’s legacies, just an obvious target. An extremely easy decision. I paid lip service to the idea of re-evaluating everyone the previous day, and found the other surviving player to be satisfyingly town. I thought I knew exactly who I was going to vote.

The day started at like, 7PM, so I posted a little bit and then went to sleep (I say, like I didn’t go to bed at 2AM). That night, I had a dream that I was wrong, that I voted for the ā€œobvious wolfā€ and lost. I usually don’t dream about mafia games.

When I woke up, after thinking about it for a while, I decided I was still going to vote the player I came into the day suspecting. (… mostly out of exhaustion, honestly, I wanted the game to be over and got lazy about it), and… my fucking dream came true. I saw exactly what was going to happen, that the ā€œobvious wolfā€ would flip town and I’d lose, and I chose to do it anyway.

Narratively incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more like a protagonist. I am my own Cassandra.

This is the best lesson and/or takeaway one can ever get from a mafia game, I think. ā€œAll your dreams are visions, May. You can see the future. Never doubt yourself on this.ā€ I’m choosing to believe that’s what I should take away from the game. I’m going to go have more prophetic dreams I think

(I don’t even genuinely believe in dreams as prophecies, only as indicators of subconscious stressors… but my subconscious was clearly more stressed about that decision than it should’ve been if I was genuinely that confident in who the wolf was. However, it’s so much funnier to call it a vision of the future.)

It’s not only stressors. You can also have a good time dreaming.

Also every single dream sign means something, you just need to find out by association.

You don’t dream of eating big macs with Obama McDonald while you beg him to not extradite you to the Federal States of Brazil?

I didn’t think it was me. Were they on this site?

I think I just don’t really remember my non-stressful dreams for long after I wake up. I don’t have a stressful dream every night, but I know I dream most nights, so… that’s the only conclusion, really. Bad things are more memorable than good things.
