JKs should aim for blocks, not aim for saves.
Blocks create guilties - its like nobody would expect this person to be NK'd.
Saves create ambiguity - if a save is actually a block, it means you cleared somebody bad.

Whether she follows the recommended play doesn't matter. Like I said it's not like she's incapable of determining how she'd play it as town.Shame on a martyr claiming friends

No, why?In post 3799, Smoke and Mirrors wrote:

There’s one big thing giving me pause which is the post he made a page ago trying absolve Dave but mostly he feels confused and a bit frustrated and tired and trying to put things together and finding they don’t fit.

It doesn't sound like you have a lot of respect for his scum game if you are willing to flip him to town based on just that so I'm confused whether this is a real thought or you just realized you need to switch tacks because you are losing the 1v1.In post 3805, Menalque wrote:No, why?- Smoke and Mirrors

Incidentally, the day never looks like this if I am scum lol
I don’t get my partners to defend me knowing that if we flip a town, then I look awful and die tomorrow and then they prob die for defending me
I get them to bus the ever loving fuck out of me and to go for the win in 5p after using tomorrow to elim a slot doing nothing or who was defending me"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."- petapan

it was a marathon game, i don't have a real completed longform game on here since i came back. i replaced into a scum slot in newbie 2033, but it was a slot where i got immediately guiltied by a tracker and fought in a losin counterclaim. but i certainly can summon up that bile as scum, still, and you kind of get an example of that therefree crypto- Menalque

Peta is claiming that he went for 1s watcher, which Dave has claimed as a roleIn post 3815, Smoke and Mirrors wrote:
?In post 3811, Menalque wrote:That substantially increases the odds of Dave-peta being a gambit then

I was originally wondering if neither 1s watcher nor doc were in the game, and that’s why scum were hesitant to go for, for example, skitter in the early game — bc they only knew about the watcher not being present, not about the doc
Peta’s claim means that Dave (imo the obviously correct choice to flip on play out of the “possible redirector” slots) was safe, and it loved onto being between (me, S_S, infinity, him)
I was thinking my townflip would look v bad for Dave and peta here and the way they’re tied together would definitely sink the other if the one is scum, but if peta has made plays like that before then he probably is confident enough as scum to make a play like that and to try and win in 7"we knew everything...
