The NR vote seems more like doesn't give a Smurf than optimistic (NAI) and the beetlejuicing seems more snippy than concerned, which makes that less likely to be of alignment significance imo.
You're bringing up pushes that went literally nowhere as evidence that he's not trying to ruffle feathers - if he had advanced any of those reads an inch I might agree with you, but what ruffling are you seeing here?
Then you defend not giving a hoot and being snippy as more theoretically pro town than being opportunistic and concerned.
Seriously, I feel like you're desperate grabbing at straws here when Ockham's Razor is sitting right there going 'yo, whassp?'

I'm totes down to drown that in a fire, pending a meta dive to determine if that is a town or scum indicative move. You know, after I'm done hitting beehives with a stick to see if anything tasty drops out.
A very casual look at the posting from that slot over the past week suggests that if it is a scumtell then they're only a scum player in all their games at the moment. :shrug: I don't want to defend the play (unlike your back bend above) but let's at least be honest that if Nico is scummy (and I agree, they're a perfectly acceptable lynch option) than so are some other slots. However other slots are getting weird pushback, which bothers me. Why isn't it pinging you and why are you doing it?

I've seen what RR does under pressure this game, and now I want to let them have their space and see how that changes the things. I'll get back to you if I decide resurrecting the dead wagon is useful, but I'm quite satisfied with the three wagons we have at the moment for now.
You brought it up, I'd already moved off the wagon.

The wagon on me is meh for reads because it's still pretty small, it might be derp town and an oportunistic scum, or it might be all town going for reactions. That it petered out at three while Nico remains relatively strong doesn't make it feel particularly scumdriven. I'd wager one at most and Tora would be my bet.
CT and Toranaga have experience with me, don't think I've ever played with Toranaga's partner (y'know, the one who made a meta claim on me and keeps ducking the question about where they came up with this concept of why I'd play that way, even when they have a partner who does know my playstyle...just saying). I think Cheeky is playing fine. I have issues and doubts on the Toranaaga slot (and that he's half jabbing at me while acting paranoid about his partner being interrogated while she keeps digging a hole triggers me even more on the slot).
