This is a fine interpretation of events. I don't see how this is more likely than me taking these actions as town, though. The early wagon on ika was formed entirely because he quickhammered. I could pretty easily see ika as town quickhammering when replacing in because "LOL!
", and absolutely hated a majority of the votes on him which seemed like scum jumping on town for thinly veiled reasoning because they knew he would get heat for doing so. I liked that ABR didn't try to dress up his vote as anything other than it was, as opposed to the weird punish/not punish approach that NJAC was saying which I couldn't really see a town side to.

I'm not sure this is how that happened. From my memory, ABR introduced the Lalendra angle while we were in MyLo, you made a response to the effect of "I don't think she's scum, nobody's suspected her thus far" and I pointed out that this probably wasn't a good line of thought to take because of fast and tunnelvisioned days and all.
In post 1474, Drezi wrote:It was right after this, that ABR abandoned pushing Lal/me and voted ika, and afterwards Nacho made 1359 and started leaning towards and ika lynch too, him dropping the Lal angle aswell. This was where they decided that "well k, we bus". Nacho was also a bit too confident in my being town tbh, I think he wanted to have me as someone who'd vote someone else over him in the end.
I never took up an angle last day for lynch other than ika. I said I wasn't voting ika because it was important to slow down to day to make the vig shot better and to get back some of that lost time wasted because quickhammers. I didn't have the perspective you had that ika was town. I had a perspective that he shouldn't be lynched instantly.

Also we had ABR pushing me/Lalendra at first, and he only decided to bus when that angle didn't prove fruitful. I think at first he tried to get town lynched, and only resorted to bussing after that didn't work out.
What weirds me out about the read on ika/Dooku is that it was a scumread that she held for the entire game and formed pretty much on the basis of one post, which seemed unnatural to me: I find strong reads that last the whole game to normally need a bit more than that and a lot of posting, but Lalendra had the read in mind almost like it was planned beforehand.
