No! I want you to do you.
Aww, how sweet. Ok then, so what are your townreads, and do you think a strategy of pairing first within consensus townreads is a good idea?
I have not thought about the setup and optimal things about it. The farthest Ive thought about the setup is that I hope I get asked to the dance and that he’s someone fun that I can read and work with in the qt. It’d be nice if he’s town but I’m cool suiciding if I think he’s not. I’ll probably have better things thoughts about strategy once I see how things are playing out, hopefully!

Don’t have great townreads right now. G2, g6, l9?

On a more serious note gentleman 6 and Lady 9 are town and this is not very controversial

Yushould get an avatar then 2. Maybe people would read your posts then.

You should use the sparkly two or second place from the supp poll game.

We can both do it and it might be twice as effective! I'm on a computer now btw so I'll be able to actually contribute to that shortly.

I don't think you should match with scum. Someone already said it - if you match with scum and don't get shot, then we have you running round with a scum lover which we'll have to deal with later (because if we're trying to preserve the IC now, we might also be trying to preserve you later when you're attached to scum) and in the meantime scum shot a high value target of two townies. That doesn't help us a lot.
On the other hand, if you pair with town, scum have to choose between shooting you because you're IC, and possibly another pairing which they fear more due to play. The IC role isn't always the most valuable thing in the game, not enough to make pairing conftown with scum a good idea.

Ok, thanks! I agree that chemistry is important in pairs, but also I'd like to avoid town suiciding if at all possible because the penalty for getting it wrong is so bad.

Sure, wouldn't be bad to be able to discuss reads with you either

The thing is I rate myself as a player. My weakness is I get misslynched a lot while correct. IC is my second fave role behind treestump bc of this. So i really want to live for ages and suicide.

Gent 2, just pair with a decent town read please. Opting to suicide pair is very suboptimal when you could just leave someone out

But it's not working, apparently. Like it's apparent even to me that I'm trying to say something but I get passed right by, like a ghost. Maybe it's posting while working, here and there, while other people are managing to have actual back-and-forth conversations.
Okay, that's fair, I noticed that the posts you did have were complaining about Lady 5's use of smilies rather than engaging with the game and that concerns me.

In post 244, Lady 2 wrote:I do actually like the broad strokes of the treanding-towards-consensus reads I'm seeing. I actually like all the active gentlemen fairly well, G3, G4, and G6 all Townleaning for me.
Flipping this around, do you have any scumreads?
I mean, there are a few ladies and gents I'm kind of meh about but not strongly so, including L1, L8. Still skeptical of L4, not sure how much of that is being colored by a strong early Townread on G6.

Wondering if L4 can explain why she might be Townreading me actually? Every other direct mention of me between my last post and this seemed to fit well, if that makes sense (RIP Dannflor btw) but I'm still having trouble developing I guess a mental representation of L4 and her reads, including her maybe read on me.

L1, why are you focusing on predance strat talk instead of the material generated so far? In exchange I'll repeat my Townreads for your convenience: G2, G4, G6, L9, weaker read in that direction on L7. Had G3 down as well but I'm not sure it's really for anything besides him seeming comfortable and casual in tone and response, might just been NAI good vibes going on there.

Please don't read L4 off of my read on them, I'm not actually sure they're scum anymore.

@L2: Because this strategy requires cooperation, it can't be left until later since people will probably start pairing badly which will lead to suicides. I appreciate you repeating them for me. I'm also getting distracted by interacting with people currently instead of rereading on a bigger screen.

@G2: yeah let's avoid suiciding. If you're a cassandra, show that off now with sorting out good pairings ;)
In post 339, Lady 9 wrote:Can you elaborate on this, how do you know that they had avatars early?
I scoped out all of the players because I was interested in what people were doing. You can still find profiles even if someone hasn't posted, using the member list. Lady 6 does not have an avatar.

This seems like a nothing question. I mean if you're interested in how to view their profiles sure, but sounded like you were trying to get a read off my method somehow.
