persistence in doing what, exactly?
He's moving things forward but only along one path. If he were trying to look towny by having a lot of content, I'd expect him to be tackling different subjects and angles. His continued arguing what is basically the same point with Ausuka isn't really doing anything to make him look better on a surface level. To me it comes across as a tunneled townie.

It was a very gut-based reasoning initially, and a gut-based reasoning changed my mind as well. I was looking at the playerlist and found myself thinking a lot of the people posting felt town to me, and she felt slightly off, so I voted there to see what happened.
Then, when reviewing her ISO, I was reminded of
29, and something about it to me just feels like a very town response for her to give. I know it's basically an RVS nothing-post, but it is what changed my mind, so that's what you get!

he's not really pushing ausuka though, so i don't see how he's supposed to be "tunneled".....

Do you think that he hasn't been persistent in his questioning of Ausuka?

Yeah, because it starts to seem a bit personality based, but I think Datisi's angle on Ausuka isn't W/W and I think it felt like a TMI sort of angle. AKA: If there's a wolf in Ausuka and Datisi's prob prob Datisi atm.
I also don't think Meg/Other anime A name are W/W don't have much stock in their statements alone though besides "vibes"
i greatly disagree with both your earlier characterizion of ausuka and this one - she made 2 very short posts that didn't say much at all and you called it "overblown", now you accuse her of being "huffy and upset" because she (rightly imo) pushed back against you for saying that, but again the scale of the response is really not at all what you're describing here...
it just feels incredibly misrep-y

he has 13 posts and we are less than 24 hours into day 1, i don't see how you can call anything "persistent" at this point. asking questions seems like a playstyle thing for him, and again i don't see how having expressed, at best, mild suspicion, equates to being "tunneled"

I'd wagon Xayah. The misreps I go back and forth on, it seems like something that will easily get called out. But
101 and
107 felt weird to me. There's a very strange level of hedge in the way she expresses her read in those posts and it feels awkward.

My word choice probably wasn't the best then, so fair enough. I stand by the sentiment, though. Continually questioning Ausuka feels like he has tunnel-vision, even if it's not the traditional use of the word "tunneled".

I agree with a coral vote.
Putting me on L-1 isnt cruel, it is what i want. I didnt exempt myself from my tactic, so why not act according to it? Also, you are suspicious of me, you're also saying you're unsure and you're not doing the one thing that can put pressure on me. How is it supposed to help you determine my alignment if you keep guessing in the dark?
As for my playstyle, this is non alignment indicative for me. We're still in rvs, BUT if i was put on L-1, that would have been helpfull for us.. that said, i dont mind a coral wagon.

Here is an attempt to soft buddy me. Coral knows i am under fire, and by saying they wont vote for me theres an attempt here. Of course by saying they're still suspicious of me there is no concrete stance taken here. What they are doing is to signal to me "everyone suspects you, but i can be open minded". And as scum, they know i'm town, and would want to leave a positive impression on me without going too hard on buddying.

I didn't think it was cruel, I thought the logic behind the concept of it was funny in a dark irony sort of way. I don't agree with your tactic and therefore I don't think it should be applied to you either despite my suspicion. My point was that the pressure on you was already sufficient without my vote.
I don't see where you get that I was trying to appear open-minded. I recognize that my phrasing in that post was a little awkward, since I had kind of a bunch of thoughts that I didn't really take the time to string together in a cohesive way, but I think that all of the thoughts I expressed land squarely on the side of "suspicious of Dom".
What about that post do you view as buddying?

i'm not sure this is what she was going for but i did also feel like the wording there wwas off, and I get this overwhelming sense of *fakeness* from her posts. The read on phoenix felt like it was working backwards from a conclusion.

That's because it kind of was! I felt a town vibe first and then tried to figure out where it was coming from after. I'm not terribly convinced it was a great reason, but it was fun to explore!
As town my mind is often a jumble of mixed-up thoughts and feelings. As scum I take care to express my thoughts clearly, which is easy to do because they're fake, and have clean and planned-out progressions. I wouldn't ever have reason to express a thought that I wasn't already confident I could state in a cohesive way and back up later, unless maybe put on the spot by pressure and I need to come up with a read on a partner. I think that's one of my weaknesses.

I understand where you're coming from but not sure I agree - I think Phoenix hasn't played the game in a while and as a result it's possible that he wouldn't manufacture content in the best way to be townread? Like, I think he could just be scum making a mistake, and I find it harder to read town motivation into his posting. I'm not sure what he could be tunneled about in this stage of the game.

I agree with this but not sure how to read it? I feel like there's not much point in specifically trying to misrep me like that as mafia when it's so obviously wrong so like it's probably NAI and she genuinely believes it?
