My reads list from last phase was moreso a bunch of gut reads that I felt pressured into giving for self-pres purposes. I spent probably like at most 10 seconds per person on that list. The darker greens in the 2nd game was based on dbp's theory (regarding sun's "either town or wolves have lost" quote) but there are other explanations brought up which don't necessarily align with the theory. Some of my scum leans were based on the fact that I believed that some of the people that were pushing to get me voted in d0 were likely wolves (I know it sounds like me screaming OMGUS at some, but I would be surprised if everyone who wants me gone is town). To me, it seemed like it was an easy/lazy move to sit on that same read of me.

Looking back, I'm wondering if it had been better if I had died. If it helps town with maximizing information gain and to help town focus on other things this phase, I don't mind me going. Seeing that gold can still post, it seems I'll at least be able to continue to contribute after I flip green. But I don't have the mental energy to defend myself for 48 hours and to get nowhere only for me to ultimately die at the end of this phase anyways; I think the phase can be spent in much better ways.
