IIRC this is from his early fake readlist so I’m not going to read too much into Mist’s placement given that … the reads were fake …
Marshal was pushing on Mist really early on, pretty sure this was one of the earliest reasons people had for making a serious push on her, bussing isn’t outside of Marshal’s wolfrange but I think it would be ~suboptimal~ for him to lead the charge against her on D1
continuing to lead the push on Mist, again I’m pretty sure she wasn’t coming under much pressure at this point which makes me feel a little better about the push not being a bus
think the second half of this is unlikely to be distancing, I could see W!Marshal calling a partner lockwolf if he was bussing them since his busses tend to lack nuance but I don’t think he would explicitly call for a thunderdome like this, particularly since he wasn’t particularly townread either – like, this is the sort of thing that easily could have backfired on W!Marshal and gotten him exe’d
sidenote I think that if Marshal’s plan were ‘hardbus Mist to get into the towncore then deepwolf to endgame’ he would have tried harder to be townread in the early game, which is another thing that makes me think he probably wasn’t bussing

continuing to dunk on Mist
not sure there’s much point in quoting every post where he does it? ‘wow this is another post in which he calls the flipped wolf a wolf, amazing’
honestly the level of confidence he displayed so early on for relatively thin reasons is starting to make me slightly scared that it was a bus? but I still don’t really think Marshal’s approach makes much sense if he was bussing
think him softening his read on her here is unlikely to come from scum, if he were scum with TMI that she were scum I don’t think he would have felt the need to add the qualifier, I think that’s more likely to come from wrong town
on its own this post is kind of ehhhh but I think in context it doesn’t reallllly make sense in a W!Marshal world? like in a W!Marshal world his strategy was basically ‘deathtunnel Mist for towncred’ and this doesn’t really fit into a strategy like that at all which makes me think that he probably wasn’t bussing

@katze @Mistyx lets quickhammer before the village can react
kiinda think the pushing for a quickhammer is a slightly good look? like technically it could be performative distancing but sort of with Hippo I think him specifically pinging people (looking at kat here, not Mist) to try to get them to help is a somewhat good look
don’t feel as strongly about this as I do with the Hippo read
lol
thinking this is probably a good look since he’s actively trying to shut down role spew from Mist’s claim, which would defeat most of the point of scum Mist claiming PR
could technically be for towncred but I think the way he expressed it through sarcasm rather than being like ‘wtf guys! it is very important that we not say anything that might spew our roles! haha…’ makes it more likely to be a genuine sentiment rather than a bid for cred
Marshal:
mist isn’t town
she’s so thunderously calm and relaxed right now
Marshal:
I mean like
we dont have to kill mist because she’s a wolf PR at worst (which only serve to counter the town PRs) and if wolves leave her alive thats leaving a town PR alive to do PR things
however I am like 97.9999% confident in her being mafia so I am more than willing 2 go the “fuck it” route and badoink her anyways
and him continuing to push for her to die rather than waiting for a CC is ?probably? a good look since it would, again, undermine literally the entire point of making this play as mafia
don’t want to 100 percent count on it since the ‘beat up Mist’s chances of living’ post almost feels like TMI that she’s flipping scum but given the rest of his Iso I can buy that he was just really confident in Mist W
I think him picking up on the fact that I was CCing Mist and trying to cover for her is super villagery, I don’t think he would have thought to do something like that as scum
Conclusions
Overall, I think Marshal is very unlikely to be W/W with Mist. He spent the entirety of D1 dunking on her, and while hardbussing isn’t outside of his scumrange the rest of his play on D1 makes me think it’s unlikely that he was bussing, and some of his approach to Mist would be really dumb as scum.
