I think that his entrance is prob +town?
Idk I think bell was going back and forth with me on this, but I’m somewhat doubtful that Jake reps in as top wagon and thinks “yes, this is an optimal game for me to do my gimmick in!” As opposed to doing tryhardy posting
Flip side, despite being committed to the gimmick he has been kinda tryhardy
Mostly a big fat idk. I think you had a point that I don’t have town!meta on haven to make a comparison to, but she just felt townie and I like, hate the pressure on that slot apart from testa (And tbh testa’s vote there coupled with low activity is the main reason testa isn’t in my top tier of TRs)
Down to I don't know (but not confident).

Bottom of the pile. Could ask about the shift here.
@Bell: I'm gonna assume you're intentionally playing stupid.
Kind of.
Oh, Mena repped out.
So much for that.

*Checks the players list*
1.. 2.. 3,4 .. 5 + 2 more = 7
Come on guys, we can do it. Only 6 more replacements needed.

Once someone replaces in I'll, in a comedic way (or not), say: "guess not"

What hiraki said is also valid as to why it’s somewhat +EV to just stick to eliminating that person after they claim VT
I lost a game not too long ago with marashu scum because I thought scum!him would claim PR and wifom’d myself off to flip a VT D1 instead
VT can be a decent fakeclaim if there's another wagon and you think you can talk your way out of the elim. My take on it is, it's a claim that doesn't really make being scum more or less likely, but following through on the elim benefits town in that it gives the anti-town factions less to work on (protecting PRs both from claiming and reducing scum process of elimination)
As for the game Mena mentioned, I only really won because I had an awesome partner - I was the D2 elim. Mena swapped out of that game late D1 as well, though - I know I'm not supposed to speculate, but I hope it's not something I said. :/
YAY! I may be able to read that slot. Welcome RCE.

Is there anything particularly important to keep in mind when I'm catching up?

3 pages in, obligatory gut reads: triplehaven likely town, menalque prob town (that feels wrong to say on a couple levels) Hiraki antitown, dannflor antitown but maybe not the same team. Dramonic not aligned with Hiraki... So maybe town.
