Sorry for the delay, I was like ‘I have to go do a work shift, I’ll write this up when I get back’ and then a week past.
Personally I thought your play this game was not as bad as people were saying it was, like your reads were pretty much =rand but I thought you were obvious town. However, ‘not as bad as people were saying it was’ isn’t necessarily high praise given that people were saying things like ‘Eli basically had it coming when he got voted out as PR,’ so.
It probably would have been a good idea to claim earlier – specifically, when you came back in the thread and voted Leafia, you had just gotten off of being at L-1, so I think it probably would have been good to claim there unless you specifically thought that you could talk yourself out of the elimination.
One thing that you’re already aware of is that there were definitely times when you were struggling to motivate yourself or make time for the game, I think it probably would have been a good idea to spend a little more time on the game and a little less time on other things like Stellaris but I don’t really know how to fix the motivation issue, that’s not a problem I have very much. One thing that I know helps some people is to make a paired commitment to some other person in the thread, like, ‘I’ll Iso Arete if you’ll Iso Wazza,’ and then both of you are a little more productive (or have to fake content as scum) – I don’t know if this would work for you or not.
In terms of actual solving, I would say:
- You probably didn’t need to defend Marshal so much (and I’m not sure if you were intending to or not). Like, if you disagree with Atlas’s reasons for scumreading her, that’s totally fine and valid to say, but going on to also shield her wasn’t really necessary, and you were kind of doing that. I think in general, if you’re not really sure either way, that’s totally fine to say, but generally you shouldn’t be defending people on the basis of ‘not having any confidence in a read in either direction’ unless you have a good reason.
- There were a few times when you had a reason for your read, but didn’t say it right away and had to be asked (and a few more where you then couldn’t answer because you’d forgotten). I think it would be good to just explain your reasons right away if you have them, rather than waiting for someone to ask, and this would also make it less likely you would forget your reasons.
Let me know if you have any questions, I hope that helps.

oh one more thing that I forgot about
your PR actions this game were … fine, there’s a reasonable mechanical argument for just always self-targeting as angel (though treeing N2 was pretty 
regardless), I do think they could have been better in the sense that I think Vul and I were both pretty obvious V and pretty likely targets for wolf KP but Vul wasn’t even targeted by wolf KP so I can’t fault you super hard 
I wasn’t upset or anything when I landed in dead chat and saw you self-targeted, I do think there’s a case for it being mechanically optimal
idk I don’t really have much to say here. you didn’t majorly fuck up your PR actions apart from not submitting one n2.
