Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Gentleman 1]

No I said I was taking a hard look at 7-7 early

I wanted 3-6 to go to endgame, I thought I made this clear?

I will get to your isolated content later today most likely but specific when is “early”?

[Gentleman 1]

Anyway, going to have to go back to my day soon.

[Lady 9]

but I think L9 does not look to good for that push because it seems to be trying to open up our pair as a mislynch.

?

What? The only pairs alive at the time are your pair, my pair, and lady 5/gent 8. And I know I'm town. What am I supposed to argue?

[Lady 9]

I'm trying to point out that Lady 2 is trying to false clear you to go back on her saying she was going to leave, and that it really doesn't make sense

[Lady 2]

unfortunately i'm not the og l2 but she felt pretty strongly about you/g7/g8 not being scum
she said she worked back from g7's movements in dance 1 - that's about all i got.

i haven't had time to dive dance one and won't be able to over the next few hrs.

[Lady 9]

Anyway, going to have to go back to my day soon.

Will you be on at deadline if needed?

[Lady 9]

I don't think she ever referenced dance 1 for that read though

[Lady 9]

Man this game is like theseus ship

When lady 2, lady 5, gent 2, gent 8 have all been replaced, is it even the same game of mafia anymore?

[Lady 2]

i can check her notes if you want
to paraphrase it's around: g7's earlier interactions with g1/g8 makes her think they aren't scum together

[Lady 9]

And I pointed out that that isn't a position that she can defend because it's not a scenario that is unique to your pairing, but you brushed that aside

[Lady 2]

like one of you has to be scum
l2 felt pretty strongly about it being you, and didn't think it was g1

so i'm sorry if you feel that particular aspect of her case is weak but that doesn't really mean much here

[Lady 9]

Early in this dance phase, when 5 pairs were alive

I quoted some posts at the end of the last page

[Lady 9]

Okay everylady except lady 2 has turned on auto invite and lady 2 should def turn on auto invite

reading consensus: Gentleman picks should be

3 picks his lady first
1 picks his lady next
8 picks the lady at the end

I concur.

This is very much worth looking at

Gent 8 jumped out of line to pair here, he didn't want to pair with l2.

[Lady 2]

using pairing logic there's no reason you/g2 shouldn't have died during the intermission :c

[Lady 9]

And at the time L2 was agreed upon to be town, and lady 5/1 were the ones set to be left out of the dance, so there was very little risk to this

And he jumped in line to grab LADY 5 of all people, instead of yoinking L2

[Lady 9]

Gent 8 you've been keeping up with the game?

No, not really. I'm rather struggling to care about you loud-mouthed people at all. Your desire to begin dancing before the dance starts frankly baffles me. I don't consider the pre-dance festivities to be of much worth whatsoever. If I am paired with a bad dancer, I will leave. If not, I shall stay. In this sense, it matters not a whit with whom I am paired, and the desire of you youngsters to try and solve this in the pre-dance smacks of rank hubris.

Good day.

Why did you pick L5 over 2 or 1?

I like the number five, as I liked the number seven.

In seriousness, I have not, as has been noted, been following. I selected a number more or less entirely at random from the list of eligible bachelorettes.

Again, I feel the choice of partner is entirely superfluous, and that it is hubris to attempt to solve much of anything before partners are decided.

I was very inactive at the time, as was g2.

[Lady 2]

....... which means there's very likely scum in l5/g8 yeah

i have no idea what you're trying to propose is s/s there dude how pretzel-shaped are you bending yourself for this read

[Lady 9]

It means you're scum and he really didn't want to have to pick you when your slot had towncred and his slot was set to be lynched first (which it was, until town pairs imploded on themselves during the first dance)

[Lady 2]

him picking us in that situation would be like... incredibly wolfy...

[Lady 2]

you're casing scum motivation in g8, who is flipped scum
this isn't an explicitly s/s move

i don't think he could have gotten away with that regardless of my alignment...?

[Lady 9]

Him picking like that was wolfy already

[Lady 2]

you're casing scum motivation in g8, who is flipped scum

u:

[Lady 9]

i don't think he could have gotten away with that regardless of my alignment...?

He got away with it for l5

[Lady 2]

i still don't understand your clear on g1 and your agenda against me is completely unbelievable

there's like, a universe where this argument is t/t but i think town!l9 actually evaluates that at some point..? doubling down on doubling down like this is a mislynch agenda

i appreciate that if she's town, she needs to lynch this pair - but i *had* anxieties about g1. i don't dislike his iso and the main read i have there is sheeping the former l2's rundown of the game. just l9's conduct since my replacein is so clearly positioning i'm here like ://
