Apologies for the wall post!
Okay, now that I finally have a moment to sit down at my computer and properly do some ISOs and type things out, I wanted to get a few thoughts out while I can:
First off, not happy that prints said she'd come back and post and hasn't. Her overall thread presence has been non existent, although considering there's a plethora of people who literally have been nonexistent, I'll let it go for now, but I'm making a note of it.
Secondly, I’m pretty happy that MsP is actually participating in the opening here. I'd still like to see more, but I'm at least not going to worry about a repeat of the basics game.
I'm not really sure what to make of the AM/April fight. I have April as a village lean, and this doesn't seem like the wolf AM was the last game, so I'm inclined to read them both village.
As for the Genny/AM fight, and to answer your question Mayo: I played with Genny in the basics game. Approaching this from the perspective of reading AM village, there's some things about Genny's interactions here that remind me of that and ping me as wolfy, but also some things that ping me as village. In that game there were some things that
really stood out to me, and I kept pushing on and I'm not seeing that much here. For wolfy case on Genny the biggest thing is pushing AM when AM is reading so different from the last game, implying shes village. She didn't vote to yeet though, and I'm not sure if that better or worse? Casting suspicion and not following through isn't good, but since AM is clearly different to me than last game aka shes village now, to me, actually voting AM wouldn't seem good either. Overall it's a pretty weak case for calling Genny a wolf. The village case is a little stronger. I really liked this post Since I'm reading both April and AM with village leans, this attempt to deescalate the situation, and try and get the village on track read genuine to me. It's not Iron Clad or anything but I like the village case for Genny a little bit better than the wolf case. Overall I'm keeping her in neutral for now, because I think all of it is NAI but, since you asked Mayo, and I was the one that led the charge to yeet Genny D1 of basics, I wanted to give you a thorough answer.
Third: I'd like to get a follow up from Pleasey about this and her current thoughts on Lupin, After this interaction transpired: I know you saw the interaction pleasy, but has it changed your thoughts on Lupin?
I don't like that Pleasy's only real additions here have been the above sus of Lupin (potentially rescinded) and then describing the April/AM interaction as either W/W, W/V, or V/V, as stated here: This all seems super hedgy, and lacks real analysis. So pleasy is currently higher up on my wolf reads.
As far as MKG is concerned I'm currently reserving judgement. Overall tone is similar to what I saw last game (village!MKG) but it's only her 2nd game as far as I'm aware, so who knows. I don't see anything as wolfy though. There does seem to be a push currently against MKG which I'm not really a fan of. I think at least one wolf might be pushing opportunistically, but I'll wait to see how it plays out.
If I didn't mention you in this post, you're either village or neutral (mostly neutral). I'm currently saving my vote for tomorrow. I'll probably use it to apply pressure somewhere. I really don't like that we have what could essentially be an entire wolfpack full of people who have yet to post on the thread.
Sorry again for the wall post.
