Shooting sabre is essentially a rand vote because they are floundering newbie and I’ll explain why.
Their stated position on the game is heavily self-pres minded. They are I think one of the people the host outed as an EIPPer so that is strictly consistent with their experience in a game like this. It’s a trap that many newbies go for anyway, so if anything it’s cool to see that it’s only affecting sabre so far.
The output of this mentality is anti-town, but the mentality itself is totally NAI.
Then you have the reads list which was following the mob as much as possible. Again, the output of this is anti-town and it’s a more unique newbie trap, but one that remains consistent to EIPP gameplay. I will note here that Flandrs criticised this mentality by saying it was his first mob game, which I thought was a good phrasing by him and I’m pretty happy to townlean Flandrs.
If anything this rings slightly town/wolf for sabre. It can be totally NAI and just a continuation of EIPP philosophy, but I think sabre would less instinctively do this if he was already handed a team.
ATM his alignment swings somewhat wolf>town>mafia in a vacuum. But the probability of finding the wolf immediately, and it just so happening to be on the newbie struggling the most to adapt to this style of game, is pretty low.
