As always, there’s more than meets the eye in this first-look into Full Game. These are purely my observations & assumptions based on what we learned last night.
#1 DAY AND NIGHT IN WOLF GAME: In the wee hours of the morning, the Shepard observes four sheep ready to begin their day’s toil on the farm. This is the first time we've seen any reference to TIME in Wolf Game...
Takeaway: It’s possible we have a true day & night cycle in the full game forcing players to operate the farm like an actual farm – when the sun is up. As the saying goes, #MakeHayWhileTheSunShines
#2 COMMUNITIES HAVE DIFFERENT TIME ZONES: As the sun rises, the sheep become visible in the morning light. BUT each one catches their first rays at a different time...
Takeaway: Perhaps communities are divided up into time zones – each one operating on their area’s own light/dark cycle. Methinks we’ll see a fair amount of land & community swapping as players may gain an advantage with a centralized domain.
#3 CAVE GAME ITEMS (AND OTHERS) WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Only one sheep is already working when the sun rises. He’s able to get a jump on the day’s work with the assistance of a familiar Cave Game headlamp.
Takeaway: There’s a good chance that we’ll be burning $WOOL to work in off-cycles or to enhance our work on the farm #BurnBabyBurn! What other items can we buy to enhance our work on the farm? (headlamp, pickaxe, water bucket, axe, carts…)
#4 THE 4TH LAND RESOURCE IS FOOD, NOT CROPS: Three sheep are working with known resources: rock, lumber, and water. But one Sheep is grazing in the field munching on some fertile grass. Look at that greedy SOB stuffing his face...
Takeaway: If you were working under the assumption that farm-land was for growing crops, you may be only half-right. It looks like the primary function of the greenery on our land is to feed our sheep.
#5 SHEEP MUST BE PATIENT IN WOLF GAME: Away from the toil of labor, one sheep is shown peacefully napping with his wool pouch while dreaming of little baby sheeps (are baby seeps called lambs?). Reminds me of Baby Yoda in Mandalorian…
Takeaway(s): 1) The connection between procreation and wool is clear, 2) What is he waiting for? $wool to unlock? Barn to open up? 3) Can you not work and prepare to breed at once? Probably some gems in here beyond what’s apparent.
#6 WOLVES WILL DOMINATE EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME: Even from a distance, an approaching wolf interrupts the dreaming sheep. Upon closer inspection, another nearby wolf has a sheep cornered and petrified. Nap time is over and he runs for cover.
oTakeaway: In the OG Wolf Game, Gen 1 Sheep were only stolen during breeding. Here it seems the sheep are threatened even on the pastures of the farm. Wolves are going to be so so so much more of an asset than current pricing assumes.
Wolves going to command the game on every single level. It’s called WOLF Game for a reason!
-#7 WOLVES CAN TRAVEL WITHOUT RESTRICTION: Raise your hand if you anticipated seeing a wolf in a boat in the trailer? Yeah, none of us did. Is this purely a nod to @RealCryptoCoach? That’s clearly part of it, but I think it’s deeper...
The wolf crosses a lake in a canoe, breaks through the same fence that the lambs were just jumping over, and finally he jumps off a freaking cliff to attack the barn!
Takeaway: Wolves enjoy unrestricted travel through Wolf Game lands. Think about it like chess. Each piece has its own limitations on travel – except the queen. Sheep appear to function like pawns with more limitations while wolves do whatever TF they want!
#8 BOTH ALPHA SCORE AND COMPETITION IS REQUIRED TO STEAL SHEEP: We all expected wolf thieving to operate like it did in OG wolf game. We assume that sheep are vulnerable to be stolen during breeding. The trailer takes it one step further...
Takeaway: Stealing sheep is not just about the odds of interrupting a successful procreation – wolves play an active role to determine a victor who takes the spoils.
#9 ALPHA’S CONTINUE THEIR DOMINANCE IN FULL GAME: The wolf dispute is instantly stopped when an Alpha 8 appears on scene (nod to @_jonnymo_).
Takeaway: As we saw in Alpha Game, the hierarchy of wolves and the leadership of Alpha’s is likely to continue into Full Game. What role the A8s play is yet to be seen, but it's clear they're large and in charge in Full Game again.
#10 ALPHA 8’s POSESS UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE AND TRAVELING ADVANTAGES: Woolcanos. Apparently they’re a thing. More coming on this in a bit, but it’s important to note WHO notices its existence first. The Alpha 8. How does he know about it before other wolves?
Takeaway: Certainly the need to create drama in the trailer could be all the explanation needed here, but it’s possible that the higher Alpha knows about this first for a reason...
Think about Cave Game – the higher Alphas got more steps. Perhaps the A8 knew about the Woolcano first because he had traveled further and faster. He’s the damn Lewis and Clark exploring lands no others had reached yet!
#11 WOLFGAME LANDS HAVE A WOOLCANO: In true Shepard fashion, we see something totally unexpected – an ominous distant peak spewing out precious $WOOL, but...
This begs so many questions? Why did the Alpha see it first? It looks far away – where is it? This is the first geographic variation we’ve seen, but all our land looks flat – is this what’s on Community 0 land? Does the dark sky reference the C0 placeholder art?
Takeaway: There’s a lot lot more we simply don’t know, but the Wolf Game lands are clearly more vast and more varied than anyone imagined.
#12 WOOL MUST BE WON: After the trailer review, @TerminatusX was quick to relay a message from the Shepard directly:
“Wool must be won.”
(Insert complicated legal disclosure here for the SEC, right?)
Takeaway: We have to remember that Wolf Game is just that – it’s a Game. Sure there’s opportunity for us to come out ahead, but the quest for $WOOL is in the context of a competition. No freebies.
#13 FARMERS & LAND ARE SECONDARY TO SHEEP AND WOLVES: After MONTHS of farmer and land focused content from the Shepard, the absence of farmers in the trailer was surprising. I, for one, was very happy to see this as it places the emphasis on the game’s original starring cast.
Takeaway: The stars of the show are wolves and sheep. Land and farmers are supporting actors to enhance playability and rewards, but it’s called WOLF Game for a reason, and the patient flocks are finally going to be rewarded.
#14 FULL GAME LAUNCHES DECEMBER 7th: As @RealCryptoCoach's wolf captains his ship across the waters of Wolf Game land, we’re afforded a brief glimpse of the vessel in context. What’s revealed is this tiny vessel on open water UNDER A FULL MOON.
Takeaway: Since I’m an expert Astronomer (aka: I did a Google search), I can tell you that the full moon in December is the 7th day. I’m calling White Paper release on the anniversary (November 18th – shoutout to all the OGs) and Full Game launch on December 7th!
There you have it! Here's my totally unproven conjecture about @wolfdotgame after last night's epic trailer reveal.
Thoughts? What did I miss? Shoot me your crazy conspiracies, and I'll add the good ones to the thread.
See you in Full Game you crazy degens :)
Screw you Microsoft Word autocorrect. Sheeps was supposed to be funny... Need to figure out this new fancy Twitter edit deal.
Shoutout to @brydisanto and @TerminatusX (happy BD bro) for hosting the spaces last night. I think we’ll look back on this event as the kickoff to something true my great.
Initially my heart sank - thinking this was one (some) of the game’s most influential players (The Alphas) airing their grievances. But there’s been nothing but support coming from the vocal alphas recently.
@PantherQB19 has been adding wool to his pack like a champ! @RealCryptoCoach has only sent positive vibes. And the first to mention this page, @_jonnymo_ is always level headed and cool.
The dude at the center of the most fraudulent election in world history is more concerned about calling out Burma's military "over reaction" than he is with their obviously serious concerns about election integrity.
Summary: The election was obviously rigged. Our requests to have transparent investigation were ignored. The military is taking control & this gov is illegitimate. We'll ensure a new, fair election within one year.
Unrelated... anyone know why there are still 6k troops in DC?
If you’re watching and reading MSM, you surely haven’t heard a word about a high-tech attack on our Nov 4th election by the worlds 8th largest defense contractor, Leonard’s SpA.
Here’s a thread with some good resources for you to follow.

This news has been widely reported in Italy, even being printed in liberal news sources without rebuttal since mid November.
Here’s the signed and sworn affidavit from Arturo D’Elia, former head of the IT Department of Leonardo SpA, where he testified to having altered votes from Trump to Biden at the behest of “US persons working from the US Embassy in Rome.
