Alright just doing Ali first
I don't mind this opening post, it's playful and loose which gives me a townie vibe
Assume this is some sort of an inside joke/ refrence
This seems a little too defensive for the vote in question where Ratchet comments he's not impressed with his posts, saying they feel phoned in rather than genuine
I didn't read everything leading up to Flower voting Ali, but there was no mention or really much in the way of interaction with the players in question. Having a silent suspect is fine by itself, but I am wondering whether the vote by flower really warranted this hard of a pushback.
Credit where credit is due, there is a line of logic being displayed here, but I don't have the full context of the games in question, but at the very least it doesn't seem completely out of left field. That being said, the magnitude of the response over a simple vote (?) makes it quite possible that Ali was actually prepared for this to happen (which he did kinda admit) to attempt to steer the thread against Flower to deflect attention from himself
Dramatic or not, there's a clear disparity between the cases and the responses to them
Flower claiming that the pointers he made doesn't really hold merit due to her being Town in the games he reference.
I cannot verify this, but Ali did confirm this statement by not challenging them
I do like this post, you can follow his line of thinking and his conclusions of is thoughts.
What I kind of sit with is that while I find the basis of his Flower suspicion to be flawed at best he seems to be convinced personally.
He's confident in his read but not falling victim to tunnelvision, that's a plus in my book.
I think in the very least the probability of Ali and Flower being connected seems infidesimally low, currently I'm leaning towards this being a TvT. I'm not conviced that Ali is neccesarily scum despite being a bit too defensive at times, and I haven't really seen anything from flower that gives me bad vibes yet
This quote is a little bit questionable to me though, there's an argument to be made both ways with how Ali has chosen to go about this.
On one hand it's in a vaccum completely reasonable to own up to ones mistakes and get the story correct to be transparent and genuine, but on the other with the context being what it is and effectively doubling down it can also be seen as his case being disproven and that this was never really the reason for his vote/ suspicion.
All in all, there are some points that makes me lean town on him, but simultaneously there are points which gives me pause.
From what I have seen between Flower and Ali, I find it very unlikely that they will ever be on a team together, so if this is a TvS situation I am more inclined to believe Ali is the scum in the scenario.
I am slightly on this being a TvT situation, but it's quite blurry to me. I could see a world where Ali is an independent, which could explain why he seems to have made a Target for the lynch while also trying to make some contributions with his plays - and his comment of being a strong town role could also be a proof of this also
