My read of April changed a little over the course of the game. At the beginning, I too noted the tonal changes that some others have mentioned - which, to me at least, was more just that April wasn't being this over-the-top, sugary sweet that she's been in some of the other games. I'm not sure how much significance to put behind that, it's just a note that I made.
Since it's the closest thing I've got to a salt yeet,
Yeet Dina
It's a joke vote, y'all. I do not intend to stay on it. Since I've never been night killed in a game (I'm assuming it's probably because I say enough stupid things that wolves don't worry about me) and I was only misyeeted once a few games ago, I don't really have a solid salt vote, but Dina came on swinging at me in the last game so I figured I'd do the same back. Didn't convey that well earlier since I was still at work.
I originally had a very slight wolfy read on April for these exchanges just because I thought the tone was so different from previous games, but a salt vote early on is not always a good basis for a read, so I had marked that I was going to keep an eye on it. I still think that AM was a more logical salt vote, but that's really high on the list of "things that don't matter in the grand scheme of the game."
After the salt vote thing, sloth posted their reads and both April and I started going after them trying to get more information on how/why they had structured the list the way they did.
I'm not sure how I feel about you grouping such a large amount of people into village, and not weak village, so fast, especially without any prior posts indicating why.
I think the problem comes in where you didn't really explain your read changes, especially when it was kind of big changes that indicates something set off your alarm bell and we would like to know what it was.
I said to Zenge at this point that I really hoped that April and I were the same affiliation because if she is wolfing, I was getting pocketed. However, the logic that was being used against sloth made sense to me.
I'm still feeling Sloth is my top wolf lean after their most recent post. If they answer my question and it seems like a legit answer, I might back down off of that for a minute and consider genny. She is typically one that is hard for me to read and nothing she says sticks out in my head when I try to reflect on her gameplay, but in this game, she has responded to pressure by becoming increasingly cryptic and it's giving me the heeby geebies in a way that she never has in her village games.
Weren't Dina and Genny on your village list the first time? What happened? Now they're not on your village reads or leans at all.
This was the main point in sloth's revised list that really got my attention too - that genny originally was listed as village (not weak village/neutral/????) and then, when sloth started getting pressed, she was dropped down to neutral. I thought it was an interesting change and the fact that it had no explanation behind it didn't sit well with me. In light of genny's flip, it actually looks even worse to me today than it looked yesterday.
April moved to a genny vote with plenty of time left in the vote cycle (she cast her vote at 6:11 PM) and before that wagon had really taken off, so I am not inclined to think it's a packmate bussing another to salvage credibility. I thought her reason for switching the vote was a little strange (the specific post she responded to wasn't one that would have pushed me over the "genny is a wolf" edge if I hadn't been there already), but she clarified it more later.
No, but Genny has surpassed the sketchiness of sloth
Holy crap I didn't realize I was actually close to getting yeeted. That built up fast
This surprised me a little just because with a rapidly building wagon like that, I would have expected her to keep an eye on it - but then again, I missed my chance to self-prez in the last game because I was just staring at the wafflefest like an idiot, so I can't really throw stones.
April pressed both genny and sloth a fair amount yesterday, one of whom we know was a wolf and the other is my strongest wolf read at the moment. I'm currently reading April as weak village based on her wolf hunting efforts. Now, I will note that she and I have agreed a lot over the last day or so, and that makes me a little nervous just because her wolf performance in the last game was quite good. I have wolf reads on other people that I'd like to pursue more at this point.
