this is most of ace's day 1 play and i know yall dont read big ass posts so let me summarize this best i can:
from the start of the game ace goes at alco for being suss(initially for fluff and then disagreeing in regards to jeff). he then votes tweet because poyser is leading that charge and goes along with that.
he votes jeff for the votes thing.
then chimp asks ace why he's not voting anyone and he clarifies he just doesn't vote anyone on day 1 and it's surprising he voted anyone at all given this, but he legit sussed alco the whole time. in particular this interaction with poyser:
you ask poyser his thoughts on alco, he says null, and then you casually ruin your own credibility in your ability to read alco. there's no real reason for you to do this as you don't drop your suspicion of him and the poster after poyser defends alco a bit and you like that post.
you again go after tweet and then when he doesn't get lynched you say "good thing we got vig at least and the shot won't be in the dark".
through most of this, outside of alco, you literally do not give town reads but hedge a lot. even with tweet you tell him you're not convinced he's scum, but you do want the vig to take him out even though he is a tracker and perhaps that info could have been useful, no? in the chimp/brutus duel you basically say neither look scum to you and you're sure one will flip town.
day 2 starts and you say the tweet wagon should be looked at but you dont do this and hope someone else does it. you again make these hedge posts that aren't reads, but just declaring how guys may not be scum for various reasons(like jeff having to post his role in the thread).
finally poyser votes alco and you announce with excitement that you're happy that someone else finally saw alco as scummy and join the wagon almost immediately. why didn't you vote alco yourself at the start of the phase considering he was your only other scum read outside of tweet and the one you were pushing all game. instead you only vote him AFTER poyser starts the wagon.
so to be 100% clear,
@Jeff Valley Driver, ace is not on the right side of things with alco because his words betray his actions. he calls him scum yet doesnt pursue, but happily joins when someone else starts the wagon. again the last time i went pretty far in a game ace did something similar where he immediately joined his teammate's wagon and people said he looked good for it and he had sussed his other teammates as well. ace will not make things happen against his teammates, but will distance himself from them nearly all game.
