I haven't seen his wolf game, but he was a helpful townie when I played with him before, so I'm leaning more towards that.

I don't know if they'd do what they're doing (eg manti with the flimsy xiz read and nanook pinging me out re: not hard defending but not really talking as much about other people suspecting him) if they were scum. Manti is basically null with a slight town lean, I guess.

FG, WV, and Xiz I don't really have a read on. I guess there's mostly paranoia there since they seem townie enough but I know they could just as easily be scum. And based on past experience, raeko is best kept as null until at least the second phase.

Zenith I kind of get a "make a case and push it" wolf vibe from, but since I can't recall us ever playing together I'll give the benefit of the doubt for now.

That leaves sunfan, who's reminding me of the zero escape turbo. He's responding to or pointing out mechanical stuff (eg choof on the max posts per page, raeko and manti being under post limit, etc) and not following up on convos and such. I'm sure a good part of that is day of the birth related, but I don't think all of it is. If I have to park a vote and more than likely leave it there, his slot is the one I'm most comfortable with.

Town reads nanook

Nanook's flip is really surprising. I guess sometimes you just gotta take someone's play at face value!

Reading the thread over, I get the feeling nanook was more inclined to respond to and field questions from townies than whoever his partners are. I think as a wolf, pointing townies in the direction you want is level 1 play and having believable interactions with your partners is level 2 play, and nanook, being on his C+ game, probably stuck to level 1. Mostly I think this because he kept bringing me up, lol. Based on that plus their play in general, I'm thinking bolth and freezin are pretty solid town, and I'm leaning town on WV (he's lower because idk what to make of him, whereas bolth I feel I have a good meta read on and freezin just seems legit from tone to focus to gameplay, etc etc).

Choof switching to FG there seems more like a town play than wolf play? Or would it be worse for wolf choof to hop on the nanook wagon there?

Sunfan still feels off to me, but getting the ball rolling on nanook at EOD is a step in the right direction. Can't give full points there since I know he's initiated a d0 bussing before (animal crossing game). Same goes for xiz (our thunderdoming in the OG 195). Xiz pushing against me after I made my final post last phase struck my gut as phony too.

Trying to push the narrative that because Nanook talked to fatfuck that he must be town

trying to push this so as to have town think about lynching the stronger town players

Earlier today you said that you believe the last wolf to be a tracker. That contradicts what you said prior days(more than once too)

I'm wondering if I got tracked because of my early read on manti (me defending him with only two posts could've been seen as a poorly disguised n0 peek), but that would mean manti/shadow's clean.

Trying to cover your bases with raeko mentioning you. I remember you posting that because she mentioned you then you must be town but I might be remembering wrong
