I leveled up. I'm not playing passively like in Merchant's Daughter.

The way I see it, if I pair with scum, great, I live longer. Norwe is an easy person to pair with in this scenario.

If I pair with town, I can fuck shit up right now with no resistance. Ydra, Norwe, and Titus all fit the bill here.

If I pair with town getting WIFOM'd, Ydrasse seems most comfortable and realistic here.

Titus was the healthy midline of comfort in every scenario.

But I'm not playing to endgame and I want an active PT.

So working with a confident townread helps in both scenarios.

What this means is

If I pair with town, Ydra is best suited. Titus to a lesser degree. Norwe least suited.

If I pair with scum, Norwe is best suited. Titus to a lesser degree. Ydra least suited.

Out of the 3 options mind you

And I chose these 3 players because I am both familiar with them and like playing with them.

This is to say, regardless of my partners alignment, these were 3 strong choices to pair. I just qualified which of the 3 choices would most work for me in a given scenario.

Wait Aly do you actually want to townread your partner

Cause that will change whether I support You/Titus or not

You don't want to endgame it appears as well

In post 1232, Datisi wrote:you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how my brain works
no, I know. that was 75% memeing and 25% wishful thinking that it actually could be that simple.
oh yeah, i just saw town!s_s give his all in a lylo in a game i was modding and i want to like, see some of that fire before i actually townread him
telling you right now this isn't going to happen. I said that game was the hardest I've tried in like a year, and it was a combination of (a) I knew half the solve and was pretty damn confident in the other half, (b) I had legitimate mechanical arguments I could push, and (c) the person in charge of deciding was someone who knew me very well and whose scumhunting skills I respected a lot. If you try to scumread me for not playing like I did that game you are setting yourself up for disappointment
s_s, if i asked you to dance, what would you say
Probably something along the lines of "we'll see". I forget did you say you wanted an active PT? Because I will mostly be composing poetry in mine. (The most fun dance game I ever played included a section where everyone was writing poems and I want to get back into that. WAIT SHIT I HAD AN IDEA my new year's resolution should be to write at least one poem in every game I play.)
also who's your preferred dance partner as of right this moment
look ok there's a reason I wanted to be a lady and it was so I wouldn't have to make any decisions.

Serious answer is the same one I gave Taly-- it depends on how I'm being read. The ideal way to form pairs in this setup is to pair up people who are being read approximately the same. Obviously it's more nuanced than that (really you want the consensus read on X to match X's read on Y, where X is the one among the two that is easier to read), but my decisions are obviously going to be different if everyone's clamoring for my head compared to if everyone is fine with me.

Sorry for the chaotic energy of this post I also slept horribly last night.

does your decision rest solely on the fact of whether i would enjoy having a pt with you? to actually answer the question, i would like an active pt, but also i wouldn't mind a shitposting / non-serious one either. so.

being a lady so that you don't have to make decisions is actually very smart, i should've done that
