anyway

this is what i have to say for myself

idk what's been going on all game and it's kinda felt like a shitshow and like i'm just a spectator from outside

like sometimes i felt alright going into eods but then i just sat there pressing buttons and being like i have no clue what's going on

legitimately achro was probably the single person i had as my highest v read all game (at any given point in terms of magnitude)

except for maybe visor

otherwise i've just been like what is going on

that said i still think i've played pretty well? i do think the fact that literally everyone v-read me (including visor, who's probably the non-retired player i'm most intimidated to wolf against) until d3 when i wasn't around and achro made shit up about my posts does count for something, though not a ton

i think the only comparable situation i've been in where i was wolf and was universally town-read was in the game where i bussed d1 because otherwise we would have just lost because everyone else was super villagery, but that's a different sort of situation than here

but like none of the reads on me were super depth-y so i respect that that's not maybe the biggest point in my favor but i think it is still something

i feel good about finding sk-- i called him out already eod1 and tried to kill him over visor d2

unlike achro, who engaged with sk early d1 and voted him but in a way that had no teeth and seems like it was just to give sk something to work off of, i actually followed through with that read consistently from eod1 on until he died

i think the biggest thing i can point to in my defense apart from that is just achro's approach to both visor and me

it's like. very big and grand and performative but it just feels like a switch is turned on and nothing can stop it

and i think his approach to eod2 was really gross in retrospect with the flips, and i think in a world where he's wolf this is his best play to secure victory, and i think he did it to make sure he had control over the day

his pivot onto me was just awful-- he constructed a narrative around me and benneh, two of the people who at least on paper look the best from sk, based on the fact that i didn't vote benneh with him despite having him as top town

ignoring the fact, which i clarified both in the moment and by indicating posts from then, that when he first asked that he was doing so as part of a ticket where he was trying to murder visor and dya, after all the claim stuff had unfolded, and then when i later did actually have him as top town it was because he had crossed some boundaries i straight up didn't think he'd cross as a wolf, and then i still didn't vote with him because i didn't want to kill benneh, because why would i

like i think there are absolutely worlds where benneh and sk were like hi yes i will bus the hecc out of you from the start of d2, but killing benneh before sk there would just be a super bad play, and it felt like it could be an opportunity to wring out a town yeet before we killed sk anyway

like i was gonna make sure sk died eventually no matter how benneh flipped, but the play there is never to go benneh

and sure i was voting other people but that's a very different thing

i have no clue who the third wolf is, and if it's benneh (and i understand that you think so atm?) idk what the play was there, but here we are

i think i've been pretty transparent in my solving process this game, and i also think it's pretty clear that achro's case, despite being transparent, is even more contradictory in and of itself than he is accusing me of being, and i don't think he's town-sided at a single point during this game

if you're a wolf then feel free to disregard and just vote me, but this is how it is

i'm kinda disappointed in a lot of things that have happened this game

if we lose here i wouldn't be that shook because i think we don't super deserve to win, but i also really don't want to reward the wolves for playing the way they have shrugze

respect the decision you come to and i know i'd have a hard time getting to achro!w here myself-- i don't think i'd ever have seriously considered him in f5 if he didn't vote me

godspeed
