So you don't think Lady 7 is Gentleman 8's partner?

Also, we were at 6 the last time we talked, and this new list doesn't include Lady 7. We're either at 7 and rising or 6 and stable (stable in the sense that the number is constant but the players in it is changing).

If Lady 6 has 3 Town reads left.
Maybe those 3 are the scum. :/.

But I really really think you need to read Lady 8 closer because she's been a shifty girl.
Not really, I've been pretty straight forward on my reads and have taken positions that's really not feasible if I was scum. Try again.

Not necessarily. Could just be a personality quirk, but the discussion over "sure" felt a bit pedantic, and I really don't want to get that discussion started again at all. If you had scum read him while having that discussion I'd be looking at you with a lot more squinty faces because that could be scum indicative. The fact that you town read him and said it was for clarification means that it could just be communication/personality clash. It stood out to me as a "not quite sure what to do with this" though.
I am really liking Jackpot's approach to solving at this point. I'd call her a solid town read.
My goal right now is to have a functional read list by the time I am caught up, and be ready to send a missive to my Lady of choice at that time as well.

I am interested in how you plan to implement your suggested approach. You say you plan to base your conclusions of of the flip of the person you pair with. How do you intend to have that work out? I feel like logistically there is something amiss.

When I think about it, isn't this just a case of finding one town lady to pair with the IC, and then...just no one else pairs up at all (Ideally we'd come up with backup pairs to organize at the last second in case scum tries to make a S/S pairing in the last minute). Although this sounds like it's starting to get really unfun.
How many of these games have you played before? This has been suggested often, but no solid method of executing this idea has ever been suggested.

I accept.
That was fast. In fact thats the first thing L8 mentions: making sure shes going to the next round.

G6: You mentioned it after you made the proposal but Id like to ask you again - do you think your pairing is T-T?
Add to that L8 - why did you accept that so fast?
Uh, because I was already pretty insistent that I wanted to pair with G6 since like the start of the game?

I think fearing someone else leaving is much more real for scum than town, and even if you disagree with me on this, why is this a fear that scum would have to fake? You're proposing my approach to your dilemma as one with only two options, but I think one of these isn't even close to one of the most likely probabilities.
No it's most likely town who leaves. I've never seen scum leave in any of these dance games.

The volume of communication here is simply staggering, and I struggle to keep up, particularly while wearing this excellent and most efficacious mask, which, while handsome, leaves much to be desired for eye-holes.

I am entirely flexible with regard to a partner. I find most of the judgments discussed here premature. Either I am paired with a good and talented dancer, in which case I shall be delighted to waltz the night away, or I shall be paired with one who steps on toes and uses the wrong fork at dinner. In the latter case, I will be delighted to do the company a service and leave the dance with her. To wit, based on Gentleman 4's list,

I think you probably should of paired with L6. She has >rand town chance.

In post 581, Lady 5 wrote:If both Gent 1 and Lady 8 are town.
They will by far be the power house town needs to win.
The reason Gent 2 should go with Lady 7 is because Lady 7 is feel could be the most possible Deep Wolf so making the confirmed Town partners with them could help in the long run.
As for Gent 5 with Gent 2 I also feel another power house town can be made.
With both their play style’s together it can make with some good late game solving

I’ll now be gone for the day.
Cya.
This is your second time saying this, which I don't object to much but I am curious what gave you the impression Orange is a town powerhouse at this time. I would say Jackpot is a better pick for a town powerhouse
In post 586, Gentleman 2 wrote:F - But tbh I am actually kinda ok with this one.
I would have asked about this but I read the mod's posts and it seems like it would not do much. Also, I don't know who the person in G2's current avatar is, but he looks like Adam from the show Adam Ruins Everything so that's what I am going to call him now.
In post 596, Gentleman 2 wrote:There's a solution G7. Which is for people to not fuck up.

Like I am only playing this game in an incognito tab and not opening it or tracking it on any other account.
I have been maintaining my stability by writing my posts here in a way that I feel is contrary to my standard posting style, as well as avoiding mixing up which account I am using to check on the game. I am using my main account to just make cursory checks and using this one when I actually am trying to be involved.

Spike
, I do not see why I should drop the nicknames currently.

Also, going to leave in a bit, please don't make things harder to handle.

Is it possible to replace Out and grab someone to replace in?

That way no one will know I replaced out, and I’ll find someone who’s so good you wouldn’t even notice the replace out but they play better.

Also someone who keeps the PFP and Town reads Gent 3.

G1 nicknames are a bad idea incase of profile changes/replacements.

Its going to make reading back a problem
