I fucked up my PR again.

I'm so angry with myself.

You know how you said you think there's scum in your town reads?

I think it's bork.

Okay, so you're on a losing streak. Don't people usually just reevaluate how they've hunted and figure out a method or something else they can do to to achieve a town win condition.

Do you mind linking the games that have you so despondent? It's not that I want to force you to revisit them but like

your play this game has been fine and the main criticism has been that your reads are literally too sharp with seemingly zero effort lmao, that is the highest compliment we can give you

I think bork is scum obviously but DGB's self vote is practically a scum claim for me.

In what world does a town PR vote for themselves while claiming in the same post? Wouldn't they just... claim their role without voting themselves?

I can see DGB being frustrated but not to the point of self voting and acting defeatist, when looking at the posts prior to her self vote.

The self vote is meant to manipulate and get Town second-guessing, I don't see why DGB's recent posts have people hesitating and not wanting to drive it into the ground even more.

I dunno what else to tell you here. I'm not being facetious when I say that it's my fault if you're town and that you have played well, so well that it's suspicious.

I don't get it, you seem to have some background/knowledge in psychology so cognitive behavioral therapy, tying up your self-esteem to games seems like a a self-correction you'd have long done by now.

Even having "sharp reads" gets my yeeted.

A fine example of my shitty scumdar

In this game, I'd suicide bomb on Dunnstral, so he's probably town
I'm townreading Titus, so she's scum

Again more presumptuous, pompous declarations of what I'd do or not do.

I'll do as I please and may your made up goal posts be damned.

I know I said I don't want to mechanic spec here but while flavor wise it makes sense for Phoenix to act as a bodyguard, mechanically it's all sorts of weird for it to be a role power.

Phoenix is an artifact, it protects the holder but at the cost of someone else nearby in the event they die. That'd be a bit hard to balance in a game with "Hey, you have this medallion, pick someone else to die in your place", but setting an artifact itself as a role power seems to contradict the entire premise of the setup and I'm pretty sure all of the other claimed PRs have the same divide.

Wow this complete and utter confidence that I'm scum came out of nowhere!

Why have you been parked on a townread all Day instead of pushing for my lim if you truly felt this way?

Is it because that "townread" being limmed was your only chance at surviving?

I feel like DGB is very much applying a double standard to Spiffeh and I.

I'm basically saying I wouldn't expect DGB to do this while trying to reconcile.
While spiffeh is doing the same thing but he's using a shiv.
