I dunno.
I mean, I kinda know. But uggghhh I am about to go to bed so I don't know if I have the energy for that fight right now.
Tl;Dr: I feel like she's been even more erratic than usual.
Details:
Her actual reads have felt ok, but her votes have not matched up well. Has swung pretty widely on a lot of her reads, while kind of following others' logic more than usual.
I am sketched by the selective edge to the teaching: didn't she say she was going to help Stella? But most of her instruction posts have been aimed at Lawper and she largely ignored Stella until tonight.
I'm probably still netting village on her but it's a very, very, very slight lean.
All of your points are spot on.
I haven't gotten good sleep for the last 3 days or so. I'm definitely ragged. But I know that has no bearing on the game, but what am I supposed to say when someone says, "why are you stupider than normal stupid for you?" I go with the truth.
So that's why some fight is out of me. Interesting that people are reading me as less fired up. I've played enough WW in a row now not to fear death like I used to, and in general mellow as a villager. I only wolfed once and it felt like living with a stick shoved right up my ass for days I was wound so tight. By comparison being a villager feels fancy free now.
There *was* a selective edge to the teaching. My relationship to Lawper isn't legendary but it isn't exactly SDN stealth. Stella is my friend from outside SDN and was dragged here to learn to play with me.
But given what a noob handicap she seems to have, did she really need the stain of my dubious association??? I thought it best to avoid direct interaction with her and just play hard and give the thread all I have in an attempt to give her fodder to analyze or interact with. I defended her where I thought it was fair to defend her as her lynch for scared noobiness loomed large. Lawper, I just treated like Lawper. I even worried for him given that I've mentioned being partial to him.
I feel OK about my reads. But, I don't feel good about the votes. MA vote rationale sounded like a great vote on paper out of the gate to me. Before bed it seemed a lot weaker, but as I said, I didn't have much else and without better, I stick to votes, especially D1 votes that might have even a scrap of logic. I woke up to YK dead. Coop was my next choice from a gut feel.
The switch to Ny, whether you think that's good or bad, I think I've explained and it's clear where that came from. That's where I think you could say the voting history is not matching up.
Yes, I have done more logic-following this game as I have been more open about agreeing with people. Often I avoid open agreement to avoid looking wolfy and avoid tainting a good opinion with my sketch factor. I've done less avoidance this game to provide educational fodder, and I also give less fraks as I've said. I think it's fair to say I've made lots of "original" (is that the word for what I add?) Cray contributions.
I need sleep to tackle Capri and where the rest of this falls into place.
