Black's
254 doesn't feel like they're giving Elements the light of day, throws shade (for lack of a better term) onto Elements for their weird progression, Elements posts a response and then instead of doing anything with it, they decide to just pull apart the wording in a useless and non-productive way? I don't really like the direction that they're going with. Gamma's response (
251) in comparison was one that took Element and saw them for what they are, which if Elements is Town like I believe is a good sign I think rather than ignoring that and letting Black drift, but back what Black exactly did it feels like a "that didn't work, moving on" more than anything else.
Kyo in
268 (and previous posts) being the lead actor in the live action block-buster movie named after the main character "IIOA". Can somebody inform me if they do this in most games they play, I assume it is based on their over talkative nature but just confirming and tie this loose end.
Claps
276 made an argument I tend to in games and that makes me wanna look back over Kyo and see how they're treating Clap from their posts up to 275 but I know that I am very likely not going to do that.
Black's
298 reads as "I want to vote Shadow but I can't just do it and leave, I gotta add other stuff on top of it".
Element's response to Cook's read on Black being wolf in
306 feels incredibly genuine. They wanted to get to know the true reason Cook had this read, because they had reason to counter the former but didn't assume. They acted in a way that opened the discussion up rather than acted to shut it down.
Also the talk around
319 it's almost never about the actual naked votes but more so the energy and intent behind it, a lot of the game is about reading intent moreso than reading into the actual direct content. Good scum don't typically say scummy shit, and Town don't always say townie shit.
Black/Kyo cross-voting each other as of
365 is something worth noting, considering if it was planned, Black would probably have kept their vote on their partner so that true cross-vote happens but they didn't. They were fluid about their votes, and ended up on D&D before Kyo came in to vote Black. So if it's SvS it would have to be unplanned and just naturally coming from a "we should distance" general mindset/game direction, I'm probably in the mood to think this isn't SvS so if I'm falling into their theatre I will feel so much shame, but that also makes me uncomfortable in the sense I gotta drop Drew, not that I can't drop drew I just want him town gosh dang it. Also that would lean into a Black is bussing as of this point in the game, I will keep an eye on how they go about pushing the wagon they're on.
Although Black's response to Kyo's response (bloody word salad), was pretty bad. So based on Kyo's response purely and the vote patterns are what I'd use to argue not SvS but if we weigh that vs the other logic properly I'm not sure where it lies. Kyo did well here if it's SvS (planned or otherwise).

Between reading, Black is obviously my SR at the moment. But removing that from my head, assuming they are Town I don't really know where I want to stand tbh. I like Gamma, and I like Elements. It makes me uncomfortable to think of a Drew/Elements world so there's surely scum in Black/Kyo. If they're not scum together, it makes me uncomfortable to see Elements as wolf and I will have to chalk Gamma as a really good wolf and have them as the scum with Black/Kyo and if I can't decide on my confidence on Black or Kyo, optimally Drew should be the lim? Even though I hate that quite a lot. Ugh

370 actively dislike Gamma's "killing us is optimal". First bad thing they've said.
388 from Black feels like they saw something surface level wolfy and wanted to lower Gob's influence by calling it out rather than thinking deeper, they REALLY wanted it noticed by the colouring when it was not needed. They didn't ask why they thought the way they did, just insta-labelled as not townie which like in the sense of if you give it even a second of thought, there is always reasoning behind a statement like that. Either as a townie, making an argument (they want scum lynched always so opting to not limming a wolf has to have reason) or they're a wolf and making an argument as such is a really stupid thing unless again, there's reason behind it. Black once again proving they're pushing for an agenda rather than playing to solve.
460 goofy ahh vote retraction from Black, fit exactly what I was expecting which is depressing. Says it is sus but unvotes instead of moving to shadow, zzz.
