idk when I went from "scumlock" to "can't ever townread"

but it happened and I legitimately could not get past it until you flipped
I felt like MariaR had a huge influence in that read. I had constant fear that you were being pocketed.

Vi is probably enlightened enough to reap value out of speccing a bunch of mafia games without playing them
like those retired nfl players who coach teams and stuff

I felt like I was at a material disadvantage in the game by not having friendships within site meta and I don't really think mafia should be about that. I think it would have been far easier to win dancing with DV than with unwnd as an example and that was never an option because I don't have whatever relationship Cephrir has with him

I mean I openly said in my position that I would have lost this game if I were given Unilateral Dictatorship Powah (which I don't get often enough, sadly)
it's honestly surprising that my accuracy isn't worse than usual given the huge gap between when I was active and now, given how much the site meta has had time to change

if people find value in my commentary then A) that's kind of accidental because most of my reads post was GUT! >=D and B) so much the better but it comes without guarantees

and I sure don't care about me making meta cases on people because they're actually difficult to do well
I feel like they should only work on me and yet holy
heck
people of all levels of experience with me suck at reading me
if they work with/for others... well, I kind of have to believe in them in general tbh
I've been wrong about enough reads over the years to not do so

talking of me losing this game
if I were in (for instance) Firebringer's position in this game I would have opened second dance by PTBarnuming this line of thought

An offer you can't refuse?Everyone but unwnd+pops should leave the game.
To enforce this, my group will be last.
To enforce THAT, pops+unwnd can vote my team out.

If you don't believe unwnd+pops is Town, you can vote them instead.
If you believe that both scum are paired, you can make that case and we'll go from there.
Other than that, get going. The fun police have arrived; dance over.

and it would have been interesting to see how that would have gone
especially since it would not have made logical sense to vote for
my group

Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

*thumbs up* emoji. Pairs are largely determined by who you have some rapport with on site, with some selection among those. You could have even been left out potentially.

(and yes, the emoji posts were because of your GD thread)

They were paired because DVA/Short wasn't SvS

And the only requirement for that pairing was not SvS :c

Hell, the fact that people would never bring them to endgame bc Shortaru was scummy was a plus not a minus

I think I liked the Guns & Roses mini better than this setup. This game had a Day 0 Kagami and a Shiro and an Ank in it tho
