objectively this wouldn't surprise me; I think going back ~a year I locktown you over your conversation with RC happening at all (if not earlier) but like I've mistakenly townread you a couple of times recently so I'm kinda being careful there as a matter of pride

i think i can still read skitter if i successfully avoid reading her off of the things that i know are bad ways to read her but choose to read her off of anyway.

Last I'll say on the subject but I don't intend to be ireverent or take pot shots at anyone. I asked you to check her confidence and you made a throwaway comment/joke about taking her reads as gospel. Sorry if I got a bit carried away in asking you to be careful with this, but I really sincerely think it's healthy for me to talk through this criticism. Too much reverence is a bad thing. Nobody is perfect. Nsg is really incredible but she has strengths and weaknesses.

pedit: great minds. I want you to take this on board A's personally-invested-but-honest criticism, if you can.

pedit2: ew yeah don't be reverent towards me I am a waterbird

I think I’d rather Xtomx to Flopz of those two. I also don’t like how the Bella wagon kinda stalled and dissipated without sig analysis. I’d love to bear a Bella towncase or reasons to get off that current vanity.

I also tend to think the game has been mostly town in thread. I don’t get RC’s repeated suspicions of RCE in the quick ketchup, I’m pretty good on both being town, but found the notes interchange interesting if Townie for both.

Skitter remains the slot I’m most unsure of. I liked the genuine emotion in the RC 1v1, but I feel like she’s good enough to know that might be needed. The thing I’m having the hardest time pasrsing is the specific timing of her vote relative to the claim - like RC isn’t being lynched day 1 after that claim, so it seems like it could be LAMIST theater?

like if xtoxm is town and flopz is scum

which doesn't seem all that unlikely to me

he just proposed 3 different counterwagons to scum without actually hard vetoing the scum lynch or saying anything about it

Bella v floppie

he asked for a Bella towncase

worked through skitter paranoia in the face of consensus despite the fact she's not happening

and suggested xtoxm over flopz

I don't really agree with that take

-bella citing a scumtell for her as a reason to scumread someone else is +equity town
-the way she introduced her teammates influence in the game
-her general read progressions i would need to follow up on

it's weird cuz i feel like this game i went from being basically majority weight on my own to being weighted less than any of the other players

like the idea of me saying someone is a top townread and them getting voted is just... bizarre tbh

Alright lads, new year ergo new me. I'm getting REAL annoyed at all these players jumping down on me just because I'm not good at this game. RadisntCowbells (what kind of name even is that?) and teacher implying I'm scum.
What a load of horseshit!
Back off NOW and stop scumreading me for shitty reasons. All I was doing was saying I'm involving myself in the game and all I got in return was attack after bloody attack. How am I supposed to even breathe at this point?!?!?

I joined as a personal favour to Hectic but nobody told me it was going to be like this. I thought this was supposed to be a fun game wiht intersesting debates where everyone was supposed to critique the arguments and not belittle everyone's character but this was completely different to that. Who'd want their first game to be filled with such utter tripe? I expected better from such
VETERANS
. If Team Mafia is supposed to be representative of the site as a whole, the mods should be clamping down on this toxicity and personal attacks. Aggressiveness and enthusiasm are absolutely fine, attacks and toxicity are beyond the pale.
Just look at 154, how is that even allowed?


My Team has already lost the game at this point so this is just a slog for slogging's sake. Hopkirk spent fucking eages ranting about this shit on this discord about how it's now literally impossible for us to win no matter what we fucking do. We've spent more time arguing about that then I have even spent in this terrible game. We've already got a modkill on D1 which has killed much of my enthusiam for Team Mafia and all this bullshittery going on is not fucking helping anything.

I think I'd actually rather park Bella for tonight than switch to flopz off an angleshoot but I'm extremely fine with flopz as leading wagon
