Yeah I hmmm'd that post because it didn't feel like a necessary response from April. Vis only had two votes at the time, I was talking about moving off, and Clem had claimed a green check there anyway. Felt like awkward sign-posting to remind everyone that Vis had just died d1 the previous game.
OTOH, if that were April trying to get people off a packmate, why would she feel the need to do that awkwardly when, like you say, I wasn’t in real danger of being yeeted? And I think she was already picking up plenty of sus by then too, so it’s even less likely she’d be moving votes off wolf!Vis onto a villager with this post. The risk:reward is just off if we were packmates. I think her post simply shows evidence of “gotta look like I’m saying things and making reads”
I do find this a good argument, actually. I'm going to need to go back and re-evaluate this in context.
Although I'm also having flashbacks because I think the last game when you made a good argument about someone else I said the same thing and you were Wolfy af
[to PSV laying down an argument for voting me]
Honestly, I didn't expect my yeet of you yesterday to gain the traction it did and become the counter wagon. I think I have a pretty good argument, but it surprised me when people jumped ship quickly for you not having much sus on thread except for what I had said. But with not wanting to vote Zenge because he's feeling village, and not wanting to yeet my manatee, I went with my wolfiest read. I often end up sitting alone on my wolfiest read on D1 it feels like
[in response to PSV saying SAR’s vote for her pairs SAR with April]
The first sentence here is very telling of a wolf perspective IMO.
1) Why would a villager defend a vote for the counterwagon to a wolf with “I didn’t expect my yeet of you to gain traction and become a counterwagon”. Like, why would that be relevant to your vote? As a villager you should be voting who you WANT the wagon of to gain traction.
2) Why would a villager feel the need to defend themself for voting somewhere that THEY ARE STILL VOTING. She’s voting for PSV at the time of this post. If she thinks PSV’s a wolf why is she defending her PSV vote to PSV as “oh wow I didn’t think it would become a counterwagon to April whoops!”
The more I think about it the more this post in this context only ever comes from a wolf.
Can you elaborate? I'm going back and doing an iso for Vis's posts and I keep arguing myself both ways where there are some that sound very villagey but others where the tone pings me
This sequence of posts specifically is what makes me hmm
Feels like a way to not have to put a lot of justification into a D1 vote because "well that's not out of character"
This has already been discussed, but soft defense quite close to close. However, didn't move to PSV which could be because 1) not wolf 2) is wolf but hoping that PSV will stay in the lead because piling on may be risky if April flips in a two wolf pack situation
These both came very late in the cycle while Zenge and Dubz were changing their votes. That made it 5-3 which means that if she was the second wolf, her vote wasn't going to change anything. However, these read like soft general statements to maybe generate some more waffles that might end up saving April
I still feel like I have PSV higher on my sketch list because of the April-PSV interactions, but if she flips village I think Vis is the next place I'd go looking at this point
I think, or at least it felt to me that, I was getting a lot of heat early in this cycle (understandably given the VCA). I don't think that voting for me in that context is very independent when I was being heavily discussed
So like almost all of SAR’s posts yesterday were setting up suspicion on me, but she still stayed on PSV all day very comfortably, only paying a bit of lip service to “oh hmmm I’m debating it… I think Vis is wolfy but PSV is wolfier because interactions and stuff”. This is troubling because
1) We don’t see any evidence of her purported thought process leading her to vote PSV being real. She puts in the work to put suspicion on me instead, because by the time of these posts last cycle she could see it would be pretty easy to get PSV misyeeted that day but it would be more work to survive the next day and she needed to start working on that project instead
2) she interacts with PSV in a way that feels more like interacting with someone she believes is village, or at least is neutral on. Why is she basically apologizing to PSV/giving excuses for having voted her last cycle while still voting her? Why is she being so chummy about supporting her wolf read of me? Because she’s a wolf and she knows PSV is a villager. Because it works out great for her if she can stoke PSV’s suspicion to me and take PSV’s dying reads list from SAR and the bottom like it had been up to that point, to me at the bottom.
