Asri does /have reads/In post 2738, Alisae wrote:What about Asri's play is villagery?In post 2733, Klick wrote: Fwiw I'm much happier with a Gimli vote today than an Asri vote
I just really struggle to wrap my head around Asri's choice to play how they have if they're scum here, like it's really far from what I'd consider achieving any of scum's actual interests
I feel like for most players this is valid logic
I can accept that Asri might not be one of those players
We don't care about the gimmick here, we can read past that.
I genuinely don't see how they are villagery, in fact I would go as far as to say I feel like they are trying to provide as little to no villager contributions to the game.
They're very poorly developed but there are stances, they exist
Even if Asri winds up being scum in this particular game, I suspect their town game wouldn't look much different than this if they rolled town here
I don't see sufficient evidence that a villager /would not/ play like this
Meanwhile, I see zero legitimate scum utility to how Asri has played
I try to picture a world where Asri is scum in this game and ask 'what are they trying to accomplish to further their win condition'
And 'trying to provide no content' isn't a sufficient answer to that question, that doesn't actually achieve the things scum want to achieve, ESPECIALLY if the rest of our reads are right and this scumteam isn't well positioned
So for me to assume Asri is scum I also need to assume they are not considering long-term survival in their gameplay, like, at all
Which is a tough pill for me to swallow. Not completely impossible but unlikely enough that I think townreading the play is correct until given enough reason not to (like the current traitor theory you have)
