I’m V reading him based on conviction and the fact he was actually solving, which is also similar to his V game in ToS Mafia, as my analysis should indicate.
Apprentice’s ISO is actually terrible. I’ve said this before. The guy is openly admitting to playing anti-town, his reads are forced and his tone feels stilted. Additionally, that’s not how he was playing in the last BotF, where he was a villager. From the very start of the game, his tone and thoughts were not like this. Saying that he doesn’t enjoy playing V now feels like either a lie, a weird change of progression, or a backhanded excuse.
If he said something about his entrance string of posts being a reactiontest, I would be inclined to buy it, because that’s how he started the game in the previous BotF and it’d make some sense. But his excuse here feels like he’s a little scared and overly defensive.
