sam hasnt been mafia in a noc in legit years outside of Amnesiac which isn't really a conventional noc to determine his meta from
blazade is right in that asek's posts don't really contain anything that warrants an actual TOWN read, which has been my problem with sam tring asek, pretty hard, for quite a while. especially bc he had asek as a scumread early then inexplicably changed it.
asek hasnt been a strong scumread of mine but also not really a strong townread, just someone i've thought was a bad shot. but the people with a hard tr on asek don't really have much basis for it, imo.
regarding asek's point, i can't say much from asek's side but y'all KNOW sam gets into spats with literally everyone. i'd say he has a higher, much higher, rate of getting into pissing fights with his own teammates regardless of his being village or mafia.
i think that sam would either hard defend or hard bus his last teammate. he's not really a soft distance kind of mafia player lol...... he's gonna have a firm stance one way or another at that point in the game. the fact that his firmest stance was on tr asek (and scumread you) would put a viable shot order at 1. asek 2. walrein 3. blazade due to the relative ambivalence to blazade
