Before I went after him he was just shitposting and meming and he wasn't -really- trying to get me lynched. Do you believe that he makes the posts that he did and posts the youtube videos actually trying to get me lynched over Shos? That really wasn't going to happen. However, after I went after him, he got a lot more serious and started to try to make a meaningful case and everything and is actually pushing as opposed to just what Ari described as "meming".
Like I said before, I think that all the evidence in the thread is that Saudade was setting me up to take the fall for the Shos lynch but he didn't want to actually derail the wagon onto me at that point in time. Then when I was no longer pushing something useful to scum he got serious and is actually aiming to have me lynched. If he's scum with Shos, why would he be so low effort about defending him versus when it was his life was at stake when Shos is immediately going after me and he's made no effort to dispel that pairing? Or town? Whereas if he's scum and Shos is town, well, the situation changes and there's a lot of gain to be had from setting up the push on me but not actually preventing Shos from going down.
ok a few things wrt to saudade:
- i think that the best way to read him is on tone; he's ridiculously more bluster-y and fake and bravado-y and idk the right words exactly but like 'being fake and spammy and like more confident than he has any right to be'
when he first repped in his tone didn't quite match that, but once he started going after you that's basically what all of his posting his
it's hard to quantify the tone thing exactly because he kinda does similar things as town too but it's like taken up to eleven as scum if that makes sense
i don't think he's actually like being serious in most of his endeavors in getting you lycnhed
or that's not quite the right way to put it - he's being serious but he doesn't seem to have reasons or like ~feelings~ that would back up the stregnth of the read/push on you. he's pushing it but there's nothing behind it imo
- i've thought about the timing of saudade's push on you in comparison with the shos wagon, and i think that it does kinda make sense from a scum perspective - i think he'd rather get town!rc lynched than town!shos. i'm not sure that he'd be planning ahead like that tho, idk if that's how he approaches the game tbh
- i'm not sold on shos town tho
pedit sigh give me a minute
