actually the last thing i posted in d1 was that the entire wagon of 9 players was town and that entire wagon of 9 players was in fact town so...In post 432, Sakura Hana wrote:I did not even think our reads were that good at the end of D1 in magical girls upick, plus RC saying like 10 million times we were going to be the N1 NK, and yet, we did get shot, except due to our super unkillable ability... we didnt die.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.~ Albert Einstein- Cephrir

You want to make this game about everything that I hate about the state of this website.In post 446, Oh wrote:Does anyone feel strongly reading another player? If so, how viable would it be to make a chain of players by having all post which players in this game they feel comfortable reading (and if some feel comfortable with none, then give them certain players who have a tendency to spew). Then we build a chain, where each player in the sequence is responsible for reading the player after them -- if they trust them as town, they pass the baton, if they do not trust them as town, they skip that player in the chain, and we will come back at the end of the day.

I think that OH has a fairly high probability of being scum trying to push town to do basically anything besides the obvious correct thing.
At the very least I think it's a fact that they have been pushing scum wincondition harder than anyone else has to the point that we're currently at.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.~ Albert Einstein- Oh

I'm not trying to take advantage of MS players as "meta-geniuses," I'm trying to apply greater responsibility to players. This isn't a ploy to make town find town, this is outing scum by making them take responsibility for their actions in greater regard than usual.

Not just any town, we will die tonight like nearly every game RC isn’t protected. You guys should know this. Do I really need to list examples?
Only way we possibly won’t is of our reads are really off but RC also gets targeted when he’s wrong, like in Arch where RC tribute hydra allowed us to die.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.~ Albert Einstein- Dannflor

It's exactly the same as playing the setup naively (i.e. pass to your townread) except that you've assigned everyone a meta padawan for some reasonIn post 460, Oh wrote:I think you don't fully understand my suggestion, then?

I don't need examples, I'm telling you that if you're town, you're town. Which is just like everyone else here. One of the town players will die night 1. If we protect you, then there is WIFOM about whether or not you're scum tomorrow, and then we have to waste a lynch on you when it could be used on someone better.In post 463, Celestial Coordinates wrote:Not just any town, we will die tonight like nearly every game RC isn’t protected.

Answer the question instead of commenting on awkward placement.
Why are you pushing for reads from me right now?
Are you not interested in the conversation at hand?
Explain, please, how the way you want to play the game is executively different? Give me examples of how your idea of how the game goes down differs from my idea of how the game goes down/In post 465, Cephrir wrote:

The only difference is that your plan says we can only pass to predetermined players we're "comfortable reading."In post 469, Oh wrote:Explain, please, how the way you want to play the game is executively different?
