But i am a little Sus of this push on me, as i dont really understand how/why you think i'd have taken this tactic as scum
So if you can explain why you think i'd be starting off with ari when she's fairly widely townread ans unlikely to get voted out with significant effort esp given i dont really have any Good Reasons to push her or any sort of decent trajectory leading up to that ... i think that would help me understand *your* approach to the day
you're not trying to flip me rn, no, but you've spent like the entirety of d1 saying how you find me suspicious and would like to flip me on coalition failure etc and i don't see *much* to indicate that has in any way changed, so
the first issue is that "widely townread" can be used to describe p much everyone in the coalition (probably applies the least to mena) so you have no choice but to start with someone who is widely townread (or start with mena and probably tank all of your towncred if you do get him through but y'know). and it's also like... why not? even if it's unlikely that ari will get flipped first (debatable but let's say), unless ari hard-shoves scum at some point, she's gonna stay a possible misyeet target. like, scum doesn't work alone and scum doesn't always focus on the one person they want to flip the same day -- i don't see why it's impossible for your partner to push, say, menalque, you to resist that push and say you're sus of ari or whoever, mena flips town, you get +towncred because you tried to tell us mena was town and we did not listen and now it's gonna be your way
and /shrug, i already explained why i felt like your trajectory made sense for pushing ari
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
