and i'm going to assume that this is the post to which benneh responds here:

<1> last game benneh thought AiB was "absurdly obvious as a villager"
<2> leading to the conclusion that "playing poorly but still being villagery" is something AiB does
unspoken assumption that's the only way this post is coherent: benneh thinks AiB is being obviously villagery in this game, even though (and this is important for Stuck's post below) he doesn't actually express an explicit opinion about AiB's role this game, and even though this is contrary to the opinion he expresses about AiB both before and afterward
and the problem with a baked-in assumption that AiB is being obviously villagery, of course, is that (as benneh notes) AiB is not remotely being obviously villagery at all
so the point of benneh's post is...?

fairly odd that benneh's post confirms Stuck's read of AiB, since benneh's post doesn't actually state a conclusion and is most naturally read as internally dissonant
which suggests that Stuck didn't actually read benneh's post particularly closely before commenting on it

and here, again, it doesn't follow
cliffs:
benneh says that AiB is not being obviously villagery
Stuck says that AiB is being villagery but wrong
benneh responds with a "metaread" which is mostly about how AiB was an obvious villager in a recent game where benneh was wolfing, and then somehow uses this as a springboard for the observation that yes, AiB is capable of being villagery but wrong
Stuck says yeah, good point, totally!
someone needs to walk me through why this exchange is not contrived as ****
