I think that's an oversimplification of the discussion. But anyway, offer something else to talk about if you have a problem with it.
Sure. Should we go for optimal pairings or just wing it?

But I don't think that avoiding serious talk in the early game when prompted to is a scumtell and I would lean it and Lady 5 the other way.
I'm not used to anon games so it's taking a bit of time to get used to it. But yes, I agree with your assessment on Lady 5.

@Lady 9 (My nicknames aren't going to stick, are they? I'm getting used to it.)

You may hate this, as you seem like an analytical player, but I buy these as genuinely at ease posts. Specifically, 21 and 24, and now 84 as well. I like 106 too, as the tonal slip speaks of someone who's not overthinking their posts.

But l8 is there a reason you opted for a mechanical discussion rather than what’s gone on yet?

I would prefer to wing it even though it's most likely not correct.

I'm wary of getting our ducks all lined up in a row and treating the rest of the game as already played out. I'd rather have room to make changes as more interactions emerge.

I want no part of a version of the game where certain player types dictate pairings and no one else actually plays mafia.

Anon alts in this setup are such a good idea.

They should just tell me not to make faces if it bothers them that much.
It’s obvious faces are confusing them and making them read it as not Null.
Maybe I should stop! ^_^

I mean the key is to make T/T pairings. If flips make a difference in how likely a pairing is to be T/T, then sure, but I'm wary of that because scum have pretty much no incentive to avoid bussing, so associatives will probably not be helpful.

Gentleman 9 isn't even in the game lol.
Gentleman 6 is. :3.
There is 3 Scum.
Gentleman are first on the setup list.
So Gentleman 6 with Lady 9 makes “69”.

I'm more analytical on alts and anon accounts or try to be.

Because I've been already talking about other stuff in my ISO. It's also best to get these mechanical discussions out of the way as early as possible.

I am not that certain type of player and I understand where you're coming from but I wanted to ask regardless.

In post 125, Lady 8 wrote:Should we go for optimal pairings or just wing it?
I'd like a mix of both. Widely town read slots should be picky in their choices, choosing other widely town read slots. Ideally, the pairs should be roughly paired according to consensus. But I don't think it's the end of the world if there are some rogue pairs. Mechanically though it would suck to have a universal scum read and universal town read pair up.

I don't hate it! I don't think I ascribe the same importance to that tonal slip as you do. But I think how you're approaching your read on her here is townie.

I don't think that's necessarily true? Especially if town manages to play well enough to force an S/S pairing, bussing isn't necessarily an optimal strategy for scum.

So by your tonal slip, I wanna say you understand what we were saying and that it has nothing to do with the use of smilies. Which makes the sugary ignorance here irritating.

Let me cut to the chase, we only need ONE solid T-T pairing at late game to win after intermission.

Do you expect that everyone else ought to be reading people's posts the same way you do?

Despite her overly conciliatory posting earlier, she's going against the grain on the Lady 5 read in a way that reads genuine to me. Also, snark in #68. Maybe my weakest town read so far but still edging there.

Looking at the setup.
Isn’t it ideal for Gentleman 2 to choose a Lady that could be a Wolf.
That way they can’t kill him if they are a wolf or their lady partner dies.
On the other hand if they aren’t a wolf they just got rid of a miss Lynch target.

If I was Gentleman 2, my ideal play would be to do this. ^_^

No. This is extremely bad. Burn this post.
