It’s about being less risk adverse tho, for example I don’t know the context of the other game but putting that completely to the side as you said for a moment. I kind of think at the point of you giving Michelle a town lean this game, everyone else was having an opposite reaction to Michelle and she was also already HEAVILY suspected at that point, so you giving her that read would not really make much a difference anyways in her inevitable lynching. Therefore it would not benefit you much, quite the opposite considering you’re suppose to be able to read her.
It’s also not as if you had much threadpull at the time and even now you’re not in majority’s strong town reads or clears so I feel you would gain nothing from doing so and aligning yourself so overtly at that moment especially given the game state with a mate like that when the scum team already got cut in half .
Just my opinion of how you’d be more
likely to play it.
