TWG CLXXXV: C9+++++++++ Game Thread

shado pushing me all game I would normally find shady as hell from him but I think he really believes it this time. I think he's picked up on a lot of things that he considers to be true tells from me, and he's put work into finding quotes/posts. it's not the lazy sort of push I've seen from him faking pushes on me in the past.

The only thing I don't like about it is his hyper-focus, especially now when he said he doesn't even care if he loses the game he just wants to kill me. That could be the over-confident tone I caught earlier in the game. But generally I think he looks pretty good, I think it would be a really ballsy play for a wolf to just keep going after the same mislynch over and over for the entire game. I think he really believes it

Gradiant I think looks decent as well. I remember mind-melding with him earlier in the game and since then I think his mindset looks towny still. He was really gung-ho about lynching Antori and had him on his wolf list and was asking him a lot of questions. Which could have been a bussing play but he didn't really have any reason to bus Antori at that time so I don't see why he would have done it. I also like that he thought to look at Lar's posts to see Lar's read on me, that seems like something someone would do when they genuinely don't know what the answer is.

YoshL would be my guess for the last wolf. He's done a lot of mechanical talk, and a lot of general statements that could apply to all games like "dumb tells shouldn't be a thing" and "don't underestimate people". But it seems like he has put less investigative work in and isn't having to think about things from a town perspective. For a lot of the game, his reads didn't seem very developed, he had a lot of null or sheeped reads. It seemed like he wasn't putting forth a lot of effort into reading people because he didn't need to.

When I was going through his ISO just now, I saw a lot of posts defending both Antori and Haku. Of course townies can be wrong and defend wolves, but given what we know now these posts seem like they are definitely trying to deflect attention from Antroi or Haku. And change people's perspectives to be more favourable about them.

So I think the last wolf is YoshL, with a slight chance of it being Gradiant, I would be very surprised if it is Shado

Sorry for the wall of text, thank you for letting me get my thoughts out in time. I think I am good to go now
