This caught my eye:
In post 315, Wisdom wrote:i just realized bp can also mean baton pass in addition to bulletproof

when i said and read bp before i was talking about bulletproof
And then this:
In post 326, Wisdom wrote:hm
all my first thoughts were players already in the game
I have one more thought but we'll see
In post 337, Wisdom wrote:
Shoshin wrote:I think it's best to treat baton mechanic as two extra lynches.
isnt it already two extra lynches
or do you mean decide the two people now, then just baton everyone else
There's also the stuff Yuk pointed to earlier, which wasn't scummy alone but definitely fit a scum Wisdom narrative.

Oh sorry, I totally meant 20% there. I actually formulate my reads based on sound logic most of the time.

There's a degree of self-consciousness in 315 that doesn't feel like town Wisdom.

Oh self-consciousness.

Enter can become blatantly obvtown.

Nancy can too unless you suspect RC will be writing her posts for her.
I will probably be away for a few days, so it will probably be RC posting until I get back. I’m probably leaving later tonight.

If it helps, the only time I was in a scum hydra with RC was NDP and I wrote all of my posts.

Fun fact, in magical girls if i rolled scum i was planning on letting RC write my posts for me.
Fair enough.

I do believe Enter has the capability though, and I don't think Ank has the ability to ghostwrite him.
Nor would I let her do that.
Nor would she do that of her own volition.

I like your posts up until now. Including this one. To be clear, I'm quoting this because I agree with it and I also wanted to say that you have several +town points form me at this point.

As far as setup thoughts go:

Wisdom

Myself
Shoshin
Your approach here for the first baton holder seems to be that you're looking for "someone I am 100% confident is town" as opposed to "greatest threat to scum", which is backwards.

Chances are there will be a number of firm townreads that are correct (there usually are), but the person you want to preserve for the next day phase are the people who will make the greatest positive impact.

Sakura, why did you agree with this list? Why is it such a big deal if one of those players were bulletproof N1?

I agree with #363.

There's no point in making someone bulletproof just because they're obvtown if they were never going to be a night-kill target anyway.

There's going to have to be some level of coordination involved in order to get the best chance of winning. I think pressuring people to make good passes and trying to get some universal townreads/scumreads down is far more intelligent than everyone just shooting their shot.

That's true but I'm not sure it's as applicable to N1.
