Without posting a copy paste of anything I'm gonna ask for what I feel is an important detail: how is the spelling and grammar? I feel notorious enough from personal conversations we've had for you to be able to rule if it's actually me, or an impostor with those kinds of details.

Also, I surmise we lynch based on this info and lynch between:

Me
FG
T-Force
Lar

Because in this situation, these are the only people I think who could copy me well enough for sunfan to think it's me.

Raeko is ruled out by default.
I don't even talk to Subaru offline.
Sotrn is eh? lTWG? Maybe? Dunno. I don't think he could pull it off.
I don't even know who duskfall is.
DBP I don't think can emulate me well enough. He's too nice and too PC for it.

Lar I've chatted with enough... And actually I think we can use him to rule me out. Possibly.
Trevor and I talk often enough for sure. Him and Shadow are pretty much the people who play TWG I talk to the most.
FG I think can copy me. She's edgy enough, but is very easily the weakest candidate and would be the first i'd knock off.

But yep, this is gonna be a fun eod since I actually have to care now.

this is an important piece of evidence as well

Narrator: He didn't actually care.

RE: Xelnya, there are a few glimpses of -something- there, but there's a lack of action and conviction behind most of his "contributions"

The most active he has been is when sunfan mentioned that Xelnya could be his mentor. Xelnya made that big post discussing who could and could not emulate Xelnya, and uses that to inform a potential lynch pool.

This is not scumhunting, even if it looks that way. That post is a purely linguistic analysis, relying on meta and general posting trends instead of thread interactions and... you know, in-game reads.

But that applies to everyone , in the sense that if anyone did something you wouldn't see them doing as wolf then you would read them town

So there's no reason to directly compare to DBP.

Basically what I'm accusing you of is pretending Funny has more content then she actually does; you avoided reading her for half the game (Funny = TWGma in your earlier reads) and now that you have to read her you don't want to look foolish calling someone town when you couldn't name their top 2 town's at this stage.

Bring back in that you would clear her over Trevor, who actually has done shit and is doing shit now, and your stance is absurd

This is a really good post

I'm currently reading this as placating and setting up a deescalation with a town he got in a spat with

"I think I'm town yelling at another town"

it feels unnatural for someone to phrase it like this, I'd say "I think you're town" instead of "I think I'm town and you're town"

I know it's dangerous to use stuff like this to inform reads but I'm bringing it up

[DaBackpack]

regarding the vigi stuff, my guess is that the wolves got super lucky with a vigi roleblock N1 and just repeated it N2

I think it's normal for them to not nightkill someone they know is the vigi and instead opt to PR hunt outside of that, in hopes of nailing another PR

just get the vigi to waste their shots then nightkill them in the third night. if the vigi claims then they're lock clear, and in this circumstance the jailkeeper would protect them. Thus all subsequent nights would be them hunting the jailkeeper. I guess they thought Raeko had PR equity and offed her -- without the jailkeeper the fact that a claimed vigi exists doesn't matter since they can just NK them.

this doesn't help us at all but is just something to brag about in postgame if I'm right

I'm going to bed now so since you're here i just wanted your thoughts on xel/poptar/fg
Can you think of anything that makes this world not exist?

[flashflash account]

I know this is like the worst time for me to get flimsy on reads so imma double down tomorrow and actually follow up on stuff I think
Make sure I know where I'm at

[MixMasterLar]

Alright, Xel

If he's gonna sit out literal days at a time I feel like I can go ahead and vote. Out of our 3 Xel is the optimal choice to do first

No one ran with sunfan which btw is a genuine mistake

He literally had a lead and ya'll weren't interested. The storn wagon is infaulably more worth delving into and i'm a tad angry everyone is giving out town reads like free candy that didn't cost you shit.

Lar doesn't deserve his town status rn nor does anyone on the storn wagon.

To be fair, he wasn't interested in it either. As Trevor pointed out he legit saw more worth bitching about nonvoters (a problem we are not suffering with) then he did following his lead or even leaving a full reads knowing that he was likely going to die.

So explain again why people would prioritize his take that he backed off of over their own?

Also, defend Storn' s play. Go on, defend that shit.

The fact that this is all the Xel content we got (not even a vote or a declaration of a vote) just makes me feel like we got a hit.

I literally tried to grab and pursue greg's mentor mention myself

Wanna try that again?

You got a real narative going though. Colour me impressed.

Storn played fine. You're all making assumptions in a perfect mechanics world, and this isn't that.

Also you literally just implied that examining the storn wagon is less worth while than going after a guy who's sfk'd all hame

Its not d0, my post count doesn't matter bro.

I didn't even vote storn, my vote was on force.
