i think that al_sama's treatment of ted is telling.
al_sama pushed aggressively against ted throughout the entirety of d1 - saying that he couldn't see ted playing like this as town, and that he thinks ted will ~definitely~ flip scum
but when i asked al_sama who would kill today if given the option, he gave me alison's name (

even though al_sama has clearly not been reading the thread, he somehow was playing with the mindset that ted was not a viable candidate for him to push on anymore. i took this as a sign that he could have been informed by his wolfchat that ted was "cleared"
but interestingly, al_sama reiterated his scumread on ted when i pressured him on it (

so, this raises multiple questions:
1. at what point did al_sama become aware that michelle claimed to clear ted?
2. if al_sama was aware that michelle cleared ted, why did it not impact his read on ted?
3. if michelle clearing ted did not impact al_sama's read on ted, then why did al_sama give a name that wasn't ted when he was asked who he wanted to kill?
