I think that if they truly as a team care about winning any member of the team rolling scum is about as strong as the sum of all their skillsets. I get TWs beef here I do but like... I'm just not going to play against wincon to balance that unfairness.

If I live to D2 I promise to self restrict to 10 posts per day + 20 additional flex posts throughout the day. I doubt I will, but I'll put that on the table.

Your promises mean nothing. You already broke your prior one.

I told you what town you should be doing. How about you do that?

Tris still looks scummy and Iunno why I'm bothering to read things because my reads have remained unchanged from my initial perceptions of people and things.

Also I talked with Nancy a bit more and she says MathBlade is going to lead town off a cliff if we follow their reads so that's fun. She'd trust RC more but that's based off experience not off this game. I should note that both of these have no effect on her reads of wither of you.
Also @TW Nancy says because of Ank and Dann she can read you accurately if you provide an updated readslist. I suppose I'd appreciate one from you so she can give said input.
Update to this, TW StrongTown Should be Sheeped Is best duck <3 Brilliant team as well!
Nancy FTW :)

Nancy is also missing something she needs as town. So whatever.
Missing something? Like the time to commit to this game on top of her other commitments?

Nope not that. Stop trying to convince me your town and get reads if you’re town please. K thanks!

My agreement was contingent on 4 pages per day which never happened ane I still took the second day off. I don't feel bad.

I mean I am literally voting Ari right now and after her experiences with me as a Hydra I don't think ND would be dumb enough to say that she strongtowns my scumread when she townreads me so... au revoiristophanes I guess.
bad duck, no breadcrumbs for you.
ily so much right now

Well Iunno what to tell you but that she thinks TW is more sheepable than you this game, but you are at least far more sheepable than Math, if that's any consolation :P

Okay I'm going to be upfront about my current situation and how I see it

I had a very busy, tiring week at work last week and I will have similar this week. I can refresh the game in real time as much as I want but have no time during the day to get my thoughts together because I have to focus elsewhere and get up every minute or so to arrange things I'm working with. At night, I'm close to having to choose two out of three of sleep, eat, try to focus on Mafia

I can't follow the game and can scarcely focus because the conversation is dominated by a few voices and median and lower-volume posters are drowned out completely. For heavens sake, another version of tw vs. RC is
not
going to help me or anyone else read it better, RC. It will just make it harder for me and a bunch of others to read and be read and get a fucking handle on the game. I'm with skitter, the game makes me want to die inside every time I take a look at it.

As a relevant aside, RC, I
do
think you're more likely Town than not here and moreover I think you in general have charisma that I respond to very strongly. Like in Perfect Masquerade, I found myself sheeping all your cases because all your cases felt really really good to me. I keep feeling the same here, and hell, you may be right on a lot of your cases, but goddamn is it frustrating to feel a strong agreement with cases from the guy who is also actively destroying the gamestate

which is what you are doing

I WANT to read teacher and Ico and Bella and Flopz (hell, I'm really considering that backing off on him may have been straight up incorrect) and hell, I want to read ARI and tris too

but

I want to read them in an environment where I can FUCKING TELL whether their reads and positions are BS because they're scum with an agenda

and I can't do that because in this state I will not be able to tell that from them not knowing what the hell is going on and/or just not being integrated into the game like me because of the volume taken up by other people

it is actively preventing valuable reads from being formed on these players

could you explain in your own words what that reasoning is?

what did you mean by this. what were you unable to complete about your read of his very lacking iso?[/quote]

Post starts here, in the preview it's showing that some of the quote is not being quoted for some reason.


So it is not misconstrued that I'm dodging questions, I'll throw this out here before sealing myself away till this mess is done away with.

For the first question, that was answered in the RC part of that post. For the second question, I was unable to complete my read because I had to sleep, it meant exactly what I wrote at the bottom of the post.

I had a ton of town and light town but at this point I'd lynch over half this playerlist and not feel bad about it.

Hey got any reads?
While I have been "reading along", there's been so much just stuff that it's hard to parse it all. I haven't finished my reads on half the players tbh, the only people I've gone through all of their ISO's are the ones I talked about in my singular post of actual content.

What I would say is that I would vote for the duck and Ari no problem without looking back.
