This was also townie. It may seem like an easy statement to fake, but the phrasing and underlying tone is key. It's not a defeatist attitude, but at the same time, it acknowledges the game state and what may be better overall.

ok time for rp to set the scene

gpamo, the surgeon puts firebringer on the operating table.

nurses ircher and jjh assist mo

i ask for a 2inch blade

ircher gives me the 3 inch suggesting its better (secretly they want to kill firebringer)
jjh suggest the 1 inch (because they think the 2 inch will kill them)

they start fighting... next thing u realize the patient dies...

Firebringer flips

You asked this before Victorine started seriously engaging with the thread. Your outlook would probably be different now even if you come to the same conclusion.
You're right that it's quite different now but I still think your approach to Yume started on weak grounds that have rather tainted any ability you have to influence me on my Yume read barring definitive logical points

Vic is giving you a hint.

Vic is a player that knows you.

Think.

It is also a layer that knows Firebringer.
HOW do you make this link? How does anyone see 3429 and make the conclusion that Yume was giving me a hint with that post?
BECYAS ETHEY LITERALLY SAY "I havent forgotten your me catching skills" that IMPLIES THAT THEY WERE HINTING AT A PLAYER THAT KNOWS U DUH!

I am required to post 1000 or more words 5 times per game day.
Also, I'm going to point out that while I think Victorine has in fact by this point met this requirement (if quotes and spoilered stuff count), it doesn't appear to me that she has actually been actively trying to stay true to this. What I mean is that given her night ability depends on her meeting her post restriction, I would feel scum!her would be more incentivized to actually fulfill the requirement.

I'll clarify.

I do suppose the interaction was very slightly +equity for Mo being informed about Victorine's flavour, but I didn't buy your firm confidence in that associative, nor the reasoning behind it that Mo's intent would have been some intricate plan to get everyone to believe the post restriction.

Because (a) no one was ever gonna believe the post restriction anyway; that ship sailed 100 pages ago
And (b) what is the scum motivation exactly? If people magically did believe the post restriction how would that actually have justified Victorine's previous failure to try to work around the post restriction and try to any degree to participate in the game? What reason did scum have to think establishing the truth of a Victorine post restriction would result in Victorine tr's?

Let me know if I'm entirely misunderstanding your case
If you'd
only
said the "Mo seems to be interpreting things in a really leapy way, I don't get how they arrived at their inference of the flavour claim, it looks informed" bit, then I would've been like "yeah, ig I can kinda see the slight +equity for those two having a PT" (slight because it is also mitigated by Mo's decision shortly thereafter to bus Vic, what's the point)

Your reasoning was what was bizarre to me

But it's ok I came around you might be town for it regardless

lets not concern ourselves with bussing/whiteknighting or anything else until i get a GOD DAMN FLIP

No, she was just lying about being loyal.

Then again, why even ask? You will scumread me no matter what, because that's the only way you can save mastina, and you will ignore any and all posts which don't fit into your narrative.

Get ready to burn when I flip town.

First you sign “wolf” now “red” and we’re supposed to tr you for that?

RC told us that flavour is nai. None of that makes you town.

Do townie things and I’ll unvote you. I want to see you try to solve. Why are you still voting Sakura?
Shutposting is my way of doing townie things. If you really studied my meta as Gamma claims, you would know this. You do you.
Besides, when Firebringer shitposts, everyone gives him instant townie pass. Yet when I do it, I am instantly scum.

I will update this to say that the unrequested part is a stretch, but the overall point still stands that she was much more engaged than I would expect her to be if her goal is simply to survive.
The wagon grew very rapidly prior to her real engagement
In fact, her engagement appears to have paused the wagon, more or less
So I'd say the engagement could very well be seen to have been pressured out of her
