It also makes a lot of sense with the Skitter-shot because Skitter was like the only person in the game who really was digging there.

I will be sad because I thought we had a little moment here where you saw my heart and decided I was good but I am now worried it was more of you re-positioning for Post-Bork Flip :(

It wasn't so much an explicit defense of Bork as much as you were somewhat poking at other areas half-heartedly and then rotated to hit him with a wall when it became an inevitability.

And i suppose i wont get a truthful answer out of this, but eh: does scum!you kill town!cabd who is townreading you?
Stuff's been bothering me off and on since day 1 and I keep thinking we're going to have an exchange where I suddenly and clearly see town-bork. This is all stuff he's been aware of, so I don't think I'm giving up any advantage in the meta arms race. Stuff he doesn't know (yet) about the evolution of my approach to reading him is not not making it into this wall.

He knows that a lot of my reads of him are based on how he reacts to being pressured. I express those reactions as "irritability", because that's what they look like to me. The underlying emotions may be something else, but to me, that's how they appear from the outside.

Most of his strong reactions, particularly to Prism are in town-bork range by that measure.

His reactions to me expressing concerns about him, not so much.

The difficulty here is that I was town against scum-him in the illicit game and he was close enough to my expectations of town-him that I kept shrugging off my concerns. And I was giving him plenty of info to figure what what was missing. Cabd and I were hydra-ing as morph in that game and his read went south well before mine did. And when my read did go south, zmuffin had a winning strategy planned out, and we followed the strategy, though acquiescing to our own elim the day before mxlo was not fun and not something I want to repeat!

In that game, he would jump on something that looked inconsistent and really go at us (usually me) until he was satisfied with the answer. This is sort of how our T-T interactions would go in the before-times. But, in those games, I knew precisely what allayed his suspicions and why he would back off. In the illicit game, there wasn't that kind of line-of-sight between the cause of his suspicions and the resolution of them. I was left feeling like he was basically reading me off of emotional reactions to his pushes, which was NOT how he read when we used to play together.

In this game, I've done my best not to give him emotional content to "sign off" on. And he's not pushed me very hard about my vaguely expressed concerns, especially after day 1.

I feel like I sort of launched this approach to reading him almost from the beginning, though I didn't come into the game with this as a plan for sorting him. And I also haven't pursued it as strongly as I should have, especially day 2.

The proximate cause of my urge is post . In the context of how I think he reads me, and how I know he expects me to read him, that response looks so anemic. I've been mulling over it and second guessing myself, but this is where I want to vote today.


Re me killing Cabd as scum. It's been a really long time since I've been scum against town-him. In one game I didn't nk him. In the other, I nk'd him on night 5, I think. He'd claimed even night vig and we couldn't risk him getting to another even night no matter what his reads of the remaining scum were. At that point, I may have been the last scum. There was a 3rd game but I was the day one elim in that one, and he was an unknown quantity. I would have focused on known threats if I hadn't been elimed before the first night phase.

What would I do in Year of our Lord 2020? I think it would depend on how long I thought I could maintain his townread.

This does seem over explained.

I get it! DGB's role is really scummy, not much of a reason for town to have it, but I also don't get super scum vibes from them. Self voting right now? Why not just concede?

But prism, the way your role has been presented, as first a BP, then a doc? Yuck.

I'm just examining everyone's play and I can see Fiery being the last scum.

I did not like her ISO where she goes from 0->90 on Bork right as he gets run up.

Your trajectory on Bork is strange.

I re-read D3 and it's like:

Skitter V1 on Bork (12/21 -747PM)
Pooky V2 on Bork (12/21 -1149PM)
Fiery interacts with Bork about "reading her off interactions" (12/22 400AM)
Ben V3 on Bork (12/22 717 AM)
"There is a distinct lack of Vax today" - Fiery (12/22 601PM)
DGB V4 on Bork (12/22 920PM) E-1
"urge to burn." - Fiery (12/22 928PM)
Wall of Death on Bork - Fiery (12/22 1042PM)



It feels convenient and the timing does not feel natural for that conviction to develop suddenly.
