I’m not scum.

I feel like I put far more effort into how I appear as scum and the messiness here is more town-me. For example, for town-me the late joins on JC and Galron make sense as me coming around to them being scum. Whereas scum-me getting on their wagons is pointless because a late join onto a buddy’s wagon looks worse than not joining at all. But I get that I’m in the PoE and that’s okay. I’d just… obviously rather not.

NO BUT SERIOUSLY YOU'RE PLAYING LIKE YOU'RE ON SURVIVOR WHY
This brings me a weird sort of enjoyment. I’ll tease/spoil that our sonnet kinda started from a place of comparing mafia to Survivor
Which btw I’ve got the first 2 quatrains and the couplet worked out, just need to figure out that last quatrain.

He still feels like Pav > DV. He said a lot worth noting and I'll paraphrase later. I agree with his reasonings though.

KING JOHN

Let them approach.
Our abbeys and our priories shall pay
This expedition's charge.

Enter ROBERT and the BASTARD
What men are you?

BASTARD

Your faithful subject I, a gentleman
Born in Northamptonshire and eldest son,
As I suppose, to Robert Faulconbridge,
A soldier, by the honour-giving hand
Of Coeur-de-lion knighted in the field.

KING JOHN

What art thou?

ROBERT

The son and heir to that same Faulconbridge.

KING JOHN

Is that the elder, and art thou the heir?
You came not of one mother then, it seems.

BASTARD

Most certain of one mother, mighty king;
That is well known; and, as I think, one father:
But for the certain knowledge of that truth
I put you o'er to heaven and to my mother:
Of that I doubt, as all men's children may.

QUEEN ELINOR

Out on thee, rude man! thou dost shame thy mother
And wound her honour with this diffidence.

Why not though?

It does generally make a scumbuddy less likely to be eliminated. Loverising two town is like getting an extra kill, but so is loverizing a buddy and town in the event that the buddy is eliminated. Plus it's less suspicious for Galron to do that?

I agree that overally loverizing scum+town has less scum likelihood than loverizing town+town, but I still think that the way Pav went about it is suspicious and not consistent with a town approach.

Also there are limited scum options from my perspective and Pav is still a reasonably likely one.
I would totally vote Enchant instead if you think though.

Bowser and Pav are officially annoying me if they're town. All is forgiven if they're scum. I don't like how relaxed Pav is in the neighborhood in contrast to here.
I don't like that Bowser is not really doing anything. ...Even though that's kind of what they usually do. Maybe, I'm being hard on them due to elevated expectations. Eh, they still hard pushed Galron. Forget it.
Wait actually, does anyone know Notty's or Spiffeh's approach to bussing.
I actually can't remember it.

Do I seem not relaxed? I feel relaxed.

I did get irritated with wisdom the other day when he was being rather single-minded in his pursuit of me, but hey, it all comes out in the wash, and he's even not voting me now.

Something something choirs of angels blah blah blah.

I recognize as much as anybody how my loverizing doesn't look great, but, well, I can't change it now, and it worked out ok? I do wish I'd been a little more patient before firing it off as there is at least one pairing that might have yielded interesting results, but meh. We've bagged two scum and I'm pleased I picked one of them on n1, even if I didn't play it super cleverly.

Haven't been saying as much the last day or two because I don't have tons to add. I still like my vote
