Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Gentleman 6]

That's really untrue, your slot more than any other slot in the game wants to be paired with a town lady.

[Gentleman 6]

I realize that you're really excited about the possibility of pairing with scum to try to live and solo carry the game or something, but I don't really think that's a great approach to the game.

[Lady 4]

Hey L4, I am asking you if L9 rejects. Is that cool?

Yeah.

[Lady 4]

I don't understand why you're townreading L4. I think that they're scum more of the time than they're town, and I'm scared that if I'm right and you already don't see it you won't see it later in the game.

Baby, I thought we got past this. You're welcome to dance with me as a vehicle to sort me, if you're feeling brave enough!

[Gentleman 6]

Hmmmm

[Gentleman 6]

Oh yeah I forgot that I started townreading you.

[Gentleman 6]

Actually I kinda ship G2/L4. lol.

[Gentleman 2]

I realize that you're really excited about the possibility of pairing with scum to try to live and solo carry the game or something, but I don't really think that's a great approach to the game.

I think I explained this already.

But I am possibly the best person to have with scum simply because I don't get to end game, in ANY circumstance, because even with no scum lynches and a NK off me, we still have a misslynch available.

So you take out the wifom.

If I have a town partner, hectic, the game solve potential is huge. If I have a scum partner, then sick, we get a sweet 1 for 1. Scum don't want to match with me because they die. It makes the game 2v13 or 2v12 at proper game start. That is huge for town. You can even ignore my game solve attempts if I am with a scum person bc of how huge the amount of gain we get from a forced 1 for 1.

[Gentleman 3]

G5 being turbotown is definitely a hot take.

Sort of. G5 was pretty dang towny.

I mean.

If you are town and paired with town and scum went for, for example, a G6/L9 pairing first, we would want to bring you to endgame.

I don't think there's any sort of rule that says you may not go to endgame.

[Gentleman 3]

Given that these are very unpopular reads my goal was to simply let town do what they want for a while and if we don't end up flipping scum to leave the dance with 9 and an explanation why later.

Thank you for not doing this.

I disagree with you on L7 but not necessarily on L9.

[Gentleman 6]

How do we know if you're paired with scum though?
Just because you don't get nightkilled as a pairing, doesn't mean that you're paired with scums.

[Gentleman 3]

G5 mainslipped and is getting replaced. I think L5 would be aware of that if she shared a scum at with him.

But in theory she could have been playing dumb.

[Gentleman 3]

Ok so real talk, I am not super keen on putting particularly huge stock in reads pre-dance.

I think it's important for surface level though to have some control over pairings.

Some people are good at getting reads early on, YMMV. Definitely we need something substantial to pair over, in any event.

My personal rule.

[Gentleman 6]

If that's your personal rule, then you shouldn't be pairing with townreads.

Walk us through it a bit when you have time?

Unless this is a giant wifom, you're giving scum a free road map here to not need to shoot you.

Thanks guys! <3

How likely is it that scum will want to pair with their partners? Ive been part of a mafia/mafia lover pair in a lovers game and it was even more stressful and miserable than playing scum usually is. So my thought is they wouldn’t want it, but then someone made a post about pairing off before scum had a chance to pair off together, and now I’m wondering icky original thought makes sense. Is there some reason scum would want to pair with each other here?

In this case, it kind of depends.

If scum is being townread and there aren't that many townreads, I think that scum is better off not pairing together, because it would allow them to kill some of the more townread pairs and I think require fewer mislynches. But if they're not being townread, then they'd probably want to pair up. As that would prevent their partner from leaving on them, and deal with situations if there is a pretty much confirmed T/T pair.

I strongly think L2 and T6 is an incredibly useful pairing as I have already mentioned.

I am warming to G1/L5 as a pairing as I think L5, if town, is going to be somewhat similar to me come actual game days.

I'm not really seeing it with L2 as much, she's kind of rubbing me the wrong way. Also, in that case, who should L9 pair with?

As for my thoughts after looking through L7 some more, I think she's fairly town. Not my strongest, but I approve of L7/G2.

P-edit:
G6, he could be double-wifoming, though.

[Gentleman 7]

Oops, that should be for L4, not G6. Somehow got the names mixed up.

[Gentleman 2]

Yeah I think there's enough turbulence now.

On to other things. We just wait for me to find out if I get a trip down high school memory lane.

Remind me to answer this after pre-dance.

[Gentleman 3]

It's pretty hard to explain, I guess just prioritizing content over appearance? And I don't just mean the four word posts, I mean the focus of his posting stream was very much to push out as much content as he could without really explaining it or trying to make it look good.

[Gentleman 3]

I mean, yeah, that's absolutely something scum might do to try to avoid giving away inside knowledge. I don't think L5 or G5 are scum but I don't think this specifically rules them out.

[Lady 9]

Lady 9, may I have this dance?

I will not hold it against you if you decline.

Yeah we can dance if you want, let me know if you want me to accept this for real and i will. Only reservation here is knowing that I'm set to die if dancing with you, but if we can set up a few pairings that I feel good about then there isn't a problem, and maybe people will be more inclined to follow through with them that way
