this is in reaction to Charu asking to be read green
first game-relevant interaction
this is mostly just for future reference, a read like this is fine early in the game.

it's d0, anything goes for suspicion in these early stages

FFA clarifies their suspicion on Charu was but a passing thing

bug liked a read of ffa's, but that's the most game related interaction other than bashing Charu for failing a discord spoiler
I confirm that I was townreading FFA pretty early on. I liked how he explained his post regarding Lar and the pocketing stance. Both of them had pretty good responses.
As for bug, this means they didn't contribute much. It isn't really phrased like a wolflean, more like "this is all I have, but it's something"

you're not really on my radar today at all

i think as for d0 the most sus in my mind might be raeko only because she hasn't given much of her own opinion and instead is giving excuses for other players. i'm not sure if that's typical for her, but it's not her "inactivity" that's bothering me, it's the content of the posts she has made that are a lil weird.

i'm still voting charu tho i'm not sorry about it
the first part of this post is bug's read on FFA. they place FFA off the table for the time being (90 minutes before EOD)
they then clarify to Lar that raeko is their second option after Charu, specifically for raeko defending others. Don't know if this is relevant yet considering bug didn't vote raeko on the day of her death

bug mentions that freezin's inactivity can be given a pass
if there's something bug says that contradicts this (in regards to MML), that's worth noticing, but it is worth pointing out that they specifically name freezin here

me voting charu isn't just a meme tho. as a player, he kinda freaks me out. i can NEVER read him (not that i can read anyone particularly well) but i really really can't read him
bug defends their scumread on Charu, citing being unable to read Charu, and Charu makes them freak out.

bug was the only person on the Charu wagon. Charu was the only person on MML, so this follows that logic.

again, I meet this quote, and I want to emphasize the wagon context when this was posted.
Lar (4) - Charu, roundbox, Freezin, flashflash_account
freezin's unvote was immediately after FFA voted. I do not want to seem like I'm misconstruing this part. there was no danger of insta at all. however, if you consider one more vote coerced from mcdaddio who had just posted her pondering of the Charu/MML decision, then it looks much worse

FFA posts this soon after, their vote still on MML. it seems like he's headed in that direction, but this goes against joining bug on the Charu wagon like he had indicated earlier

I'm out of town tonight and busy from about 6-10 pm, but I'll catch up in the hour between that ending and phase end
I'm assuming arp's read had something to do with this since Arp was voting Charu, but FFA just gave Charu a convenient pass, maybe not to get his hands dirty and vote off wagon? he still susses Charu, but now the stakes are lower since it's not EOD

agrees with bug, not really positing much
I'm assuming it's from a continue townread of bugkid?

I'll have to post this separately for bug's visibility to clarify: is this a sus against FFA? you never clarified

Arp death can really only implicate charu afaict

I feel like the connection between charu and round box is just kind of there and not specifically indicated by anything
They rub off of each other and voted MML together, idk
FFA puts his money where his mouth is and votes Charu, but links us together solely for the fact that we both voted Lar together. raeko and Freezin also voted Lar, so it's unfortunate they get left out of this consideration

bug fuels a WIFOM theory after Charu starts to accrue votes

they continue to push it after voting Charu

still wanting another explanation of this

mcdaddio asking questions to everyone without putting much of her own opinions out there feels very safe to me, but not worth my vote yet

i like when freezin gets to be present in a twg game
bug scumreads FFA and raeko, but thankfully picks FFA with me in the end
might also be important here to highlight their read of Freezin which sounds like a townread on him just for his activity

Time to commit a bit and stop being afraid to be wrong
FFA also townreads Freezin shortly after

both bug and FFA post scumreads of Charu right before he reveals, but I didn't feel like quoting those posts because I'm getting tired of copy and pasting at this point. can you blame me? have you seen the size of this novel?

I know you reverse your interpretation of my raeko read later

Later today I'll reread and try to eliminate pairings. Maybe that'll be more effective this game than trying to read people
did this happen?

Roundbox accused me of "floundering", was the word I think, but that describes this whole game accurately enough
FFA considers Freezin after bug posted about him (votecount)
how was I floundering??

I think so
I don't think that's what's happening at all but I do think wolf freezin would be capable of it

everything they're doing today screams town to me, in fact
FFA, you did consider wolf!bugkid yesterday here
you didn't say you were taking to heart, but you at least did juggle the possibility in your mind

this could be a confident shot as a bus, knowing they were communicating with mcdaddio in neighbor chat now, but they still had to net one more vote
I think this looks more towny than a calculated bus


that was a lot of words
bug has a few questionable moves like tunneling Charu at the start, but their transition to voting Freezin felt pretty natural
FFA's vote on MML, shift to me, and pulling away from Charu on D0 really have me feeling like he's the choice over bug.
I'm glad I reread
