Misreading my intentions and being a dick, while waiting forever to log in and have it clarified is no excuse for you to just decide it's time to not answer the question. Either show me that wasn't fluff or just admit you like defending Raeko every single game you two play together.

I said it was an accident and acknowledged it? I think you are misreading the tone of my post, especially the "time to move on" part. That was a thought to myself, not telling you to move on, lmao.

I'll grab the posts later. Also, I would have no problem throwing raeko under the bus if she was posting wolfy fmpov, don't get me wrong. For what it's worth, take a look at the games that we've played with each other. The last game that we were on opposite alignments was TWGood End, and raeko was hard reading me wolf. All of the other games we've played together we've happened to be the same alignment (both wolf and town). I've yet to have a game where I'm town and raeko is wolf. Based off of how she read me in TWGood end, I've been scared of going into the same game as her and rolling wolf while she's town. I think I'd be fucked, frankly. See how many people have asked her about her read on me this game. I don't understand the double standard of people being able to ask her about her read on me, but not me about the read on her. Frankly, I find it insulting that people would insinuate such a bias for a game that's all about figuring out if people are lying. If I was town and I had indications that she was a wolf, I would not hesitate to hold that back. It's ridiculous to assume otherwise. I think I know her enough that I would be able to spot any wolfiness if it was the case this game or any other game. You can believe that I will arbitrarily defend her every game, or you can hear me out and tell you why it seems like this.

I was planning on chilling and playing video games a bit until playing some more TWG for the day, but I guess if you're going to patronize me, I have no choice but to bend to your whims.

WHY I TOWNREAD RAEKO THIS GAME (SO FAR)
1. POST VOLUME
-one of raeko's struggles with being a wolf (since I've been her wolf partner at least 2 games) is generating posts and sticking with the game. Taking a quick look at the post count, raeko has more posts than Antori, Hakulyte, and is pretty much tied with Xel.
-if raeko was wolfing, I would expect her post count to be firmly on the bottom, rather than just above.

2. POSTING READS
-another struggle area with raeko's wolf is EOD as well as posting reads in general.
-looking at EOD, raeko consistently made posts within the last hour. not just any kinds of posts, but posts that weren't as vague as something like THIS post from a previous wolf game of hers

-look at how vague it is. "I've read the entire thread and I'm pretty sure. I just don't anything to say really. First of all we've all said it before"
-This is her struggling to come up with any novel idea about any sort of read. She insists that she has nothing really new to say, and that anything she says will just be a repeat of what's already been said in the thread. Let's compare that to some posts from EOD she made this game:

I'm not sure about flash flash, he hasn't screamed town to me so I'd be ok with lynching him but he's not my top choice

how are you

here, she's developing some reads and contributing to discussion. She provides a response to inD about her read on Antori (which is a NEW, NOVEL READ)
she provides a read on flashflash, even though it's a bit paper-thin. she also responds to flashflash calling for indheart's lynch, so she's actively engaged in game solving rather than doing the alternative of "nothing new to say"

3. POST TIMING
-wolf raeko will wait until the last minute to start posting instead of trying to keep a consistent dialogue throughout the days. If you just look at this game, she's made posts at pretty regular intervals.
-if you were to look back at the same wolf game of hers that I quoted earlier and look at her posting frequency, you'll find this:

You thought ind/sunfan/star were all on the same team, and now you still do? and so that cleared things up for you to think the others are town? Or am I misunderstanding? This is also based on posts I read afterward and I was reading them all out of order so idk if I'm just confusing myself here

I feel you a lot on this. It’s been hard for me to get into forum games lately, and this one has been especially difficult for some reason

posted at 4:25 PM, two whole hours later for this ONE post. she does provide a townread on lar later in this post, but let's look at these first two points
-she's unsure and confused about her read on t-force. read the last line of this section. It's not taking an extremely firm stance.
-this right here is probably her biggest scumtell: "It's been hard for me to get into forum games lately" or "I just can't get my head in the game". I've seen her use this multiple times as a defense for being unable to come up with authentic reads, and I have yet to see it this game

and also this is not providing any sort of fundamental read. she's just making a joke about modest mouse. no reads furthered, no large posts. just wavering and not coming up with any new ideas.

If this doesn't convince you that my read is authentic and that I'm basing it off of my understanding of her gameplay, I don't know what will.
