There's not much solving or sharing that I gleaned from them during my readthrough. They've mostly just been off to the side.

Liking their style and posts so far. Don't really see a good reason to throw them out compared to some of the other options

Caught up what do you want to know
I was wondering if you can elaborate on the "weirdness" and if you still townlean him after catching up. But if you want to wait until you're not on mobile then that's ok
Actually was mostly covered in the thread (hadn't read it yet) about the neutrality/purely analytical style and I think python both justified it well and has had their play be more TI since. Moving them up to full townread.
This progression concerns me. Python basically admitted they like to hyperfocus on people as scum to draw attention away from their scummate. Their slot has been linked to defending the inactivity of your slot in between their tunneling of Aureal and me. Your initial read of them being weird and then the progression to them being full town is alarming

But I don't know if either of you are wolves. This is a progression I made based on python's own analysis of their wolf play

Not unreasonable, although I don't really know if we'd need to defend each other right now as partners since neither of us seem particularly likely lim candidates.

Python defended Arko's inactivity and suggested we should worry about him D2. And they went out of their way to stop Weuler from suspecting/voting for Arko. Idk it just seems weird to me. A town perspective should be ok with pressure votes and fos'ing inactives

I'm still figuring that out. Elements and Weuler lead the pack for me still, but Elements is starting to contribute in ways that I like, and python has suddenly pinged me with their tunneling/made up suspicions of me/wolf and town gameplay reveal

I get it but I don't think it's unreasonable for town to want to deal with an inactive slot or not want to vote there yet

I feel like Python was giving Freedom a pass too though for not having caught up reading yet. It's been four days now.

What's a pfp? Guessing not personal financial planner.

I get not voting their themselves. But calling someone out for doing it and having an issue with them being suspicious of the inactive slot is what I'm not following. It's not like Weuler was saying we should vote out Arko. He didn't even vote for him. He just said Arko's inactivity was suspicious and python seemed to have an issue with that

That in itself isn't the most suspicious thing in the world but when you read over python's description of how they play as scum, it matches up to how they are playing this game, including the subtle defense of Arko

Not sure if python or Meg are the best options for a lim today but them being linked is definitely worth noting

I had an issue with Elements' random voting and bandwagoning because there didn't seem to be any reasoning for it. At one point early on she even got Weuler to e-1 but didn't provide any analysis or reasoning. I've always viewed behavior like this as scummy. Kind of just pushing mobile wagons and not giving any reads or anything seems like a common wolf tactic. Elements has made some posts I consider pro-town since then but I'm not sure if she's doing it because people scumread her for all this or what, so I'm still trying to figure that out
