Okay so i actually got around to reading Day 3, in search of Ari's fabled associative's.
To be completely honest, Day 3 sucks. I really hoped the discussion there would be more fruitful to analyze but it's like the most dull, boring Elo I've ever seen.
Anyway:

Also i don't think elements (dragon) and dats are partnered
So i think i'm left with like you/dats ans you/ausuka
Oh, amazing. So the conclusion is that Ari is partnered with one of the Datisi and Ausuka. That really helps me narrow it down
(sorry skitter if I'm being mean, it's just I really hoped to see some compelling arguments for your ari/ausuka solve when going back and I'm just annoyed that I have to figure it out myself)

I think i'm like
Dragon
Dats
Ausuka
Ari
And want to vote one of the latter two
If it's dats he's having a Not Great scumgame for him which tbf happens
why don't you vote out Ausuka and investigate me then
I am not sure why I decided to quote this post by Ari specifically, it's probably the worst example of this, but anyhow Ari on Day 3 feels to me like she's in anti-spew mode and this post for instance might look at first glance as a desperate scum meneavuer (I know how to spell lol) trying to misyeet town, but I think it'd make more sense for scum!Ari to do it as a way to distance since she already knew that she would be the lim.
I kinda think this spews Datisi town and tbh the more I've been thinking about it the more I'm happy with this solve.
Like I may be stupid or smth and I'm too tired right now for my brain to fully make sense (I literally called Ausuka "Ari" while typing this post), but I do think that the same thing that happened with me (where 2 scum and one town wanted me yeeted) was basically what happened to Datisi at some point and in order to now spew Datisi town she had to change her read to scumread her partner (
Ari
Ausuka).
Also the town vibes from Datisi's Day 2 are too strong and while I still think his Day 3 was scummy, I can't deny that his explanation of the town motivation for these scummy actions makes sense to me.

i guess it's hypocritical of me to shit on dragons for not caring about ausuka possibly voting him when it was looking likely i was getting voted today for a while and i never actually like, cared about it that much
Thanks for acknowledging this because uhhh I don't even remember what happened but yeah I didn't really care about it
Also RE leaning you/ari and then saying it again, the thing was I initially (around 1120 as you mentioned) said it was you and ari simply after reading Ausuka ISO and finding some townie things in it, which did sway me from absolute scumreading her, but I didn't actually get to reading and evaluating you individually so it was more like PoE sort of thing, then the other post (1170) was after actually reading your Day 3 posts in depth which like did sound scummy to me, but I guess if i compare it to your entire ISO and to the fact that both me and Skitter agree that Ari/Ausuka makes sense as a solve (and I know I said Ausuka was townie but again, it was more townie than before which made me doubt myself, I in now way saw her as omega townie or something)

Yeah
I think ari/ausuka make sense
It explains the miller thing which is super unlikely
Why ari didnt push her over it
I never tr either of them
And honestly like you're saying it explains why marci is dead
I'm assuming they thoyght i'd vote you
Dragons as limbait is interesting tho b/c i've been townreading him all game idj
And this is also probably true cause like
Ari/Ausuka kinda explains everything. It definitely explains how we wound up with these 2 mislims (cause I felt they did a good job kinda sneaking under the radar Day 1 and 2), it explains why they had strong mutual TR all game that turned into a mutual push in Elo (distancing), and though I am not 100% sure it fully explains why skitter was left alive in f5, I honestly can't think of a better explanation than "they wanted skitter to vote Datisi", so I guess that's the reason? Like it kinda sounds ridiculous, but as someone said (I think it was skitter? maybe Ausuka), it's not like a different scumteam would suddenly make you go "ohhh I totally see why they killed marci".

Shrug not really sure what to say here if skitter thinks I have done literally nothing towny the entire game
I think Ari's pivot to like actually scumreading me when skitter goes in that direction is scum probably. Whatever I can't even say I'm sure who the scumteam is here. I think it could realistically be any of the three teams. I guess I could vote Ari? Not really sure what else I can say
Idk Ausuka, can you like point out townie things you did do this game other than talking about your marci dream?
