oh also for completeness sake because I cannot resist calling this out, this claim is a million times worse than Andante's "4 maf in the gentleman" because now you're even naming a specific 4 person team

believes the scum team is exactly these four players

I don't understand why him over others
This is bad reasoning imo. If GL is scum he's done. If Mala is scum she's done. Both have equal opportunity to be scum. I'd rather have scum gone than a non-active town.

Datisi. I'd also like catboi and I'd settle for marcistar but I'm worried a marcistar/GL T-T pairing isn't actually beneficial to town unless we manage to effectively clear ourselves. I think after I said I was willing to leave to flip marci it's not good for the long term gamestate if we pair and I don't stay at least willing to do that
Alright, yeah, not super bad ideas. I still kinda ship you + dragons lol Lion + Dragon = YESSSS!!!
I have minor concerns about dats, I'll explore them tomorrow, cause like, dats and LLD have both made me go "I don't think you're town, but I think they'd almost certainly have paired if they were S/S

didn't Dragon already pair with Titus? That's a duo that's absolutely not endgaming, btw

the town norwee i know is reckless and he lives on the edge

scum!norwee knows that pairing with the ic is Bad
I did not like because it felt a little telling-instead-of-showing fake to me. like why wasn't Norwee thinking about this when Taly asked him initially? the fact that it came 20 minutes later is a bit 'sus', as they say

I'd rather yeet the non active town. just force scum to pair with each other and lim 2 for the price of 1 tomorrow. easy. ok, GL scum, and who's most likely scum gentleman? there you go.

Like I swear, some of yall.. you act like you're super good at reading people "we want these people to endgame" ok, so if scum makes this list of people to endgame? it's all like, just partner with someone, doing all this partner stuff like yall are, I'm highly doubting there's gonna be S/S pairs. Let people just do whatever, then go from there. 2000 posts of all this talking in circles, the same voices are being heard. I'm surprised everyone is doing all this "solving" like, the more pressure yall put on your "endgame pairs" the less likely we're actually able to draw conclusions. but that's just my two cents here

I consider the game won if we manage to kill all but one scum by the time we hit 6 players

I don't think town should lose at this point unless they majorly fucked up the game

idk

I generally play around trying to verify a TvT pair and removing all but one scum at the same time, so information flips are higher priority for me than directly looking for scum in of itself

Nothing made me pick Dragons. I could have paired with marci or Galron as well. I paired with StD because I townread them, but yet they weren't obvtown to others so I would still possibly get obvtown to pair with each other.

I would have favored any of my townreads that asked.

In post 1647, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:I have a particular read on you as town as well, of which means that I don't believe your reads are particularly strong in this particular game in the case that you are town.
btw Titus, I specifically want to address this a bit further so it doesn't read as a sort of discredit on you, and because you are quite possibly the one player on the entire website I have the most games with out of anybody, so I've had plenty of opportunities to assess your play from all four angles (TvT, TvS, SvT, SvS).

the games where I feel like you are at your strongest are when you are able to confidently place players as town and directly work with those players. My experience with your towngame is that you view things in a very different way that has very mixed results, so you often run into these problems where you have very incorrect scumreads and it's very hard to pivot you off of them in those cases since finding common ground is next to impossible in a lot of cases.

You and Taly are the two players in this playerlist that I would strongly classify as enablers for town, and the way you're playing in this game indicates that you aren't playing around this philosophy, especially in a setup where I strongly believe that finding correct townreads is infinitely more productive to a town wincon than finding correct scumreads.

You're seriously trying to argue having a theoretical read is scummy? Yet you didn't call it out at the time either?

That's just how I think. I apply the scientific method to mafia, as much as I can. Observe. Hypothesis. Test. Conclusion.

dats + SS - both are hard to read, I think they'd be funny trying to work together - perfect ship
Galron + Lion - Galron + Lion = PERFECT
RH9 + Alyssa - We're not leaving Alyssa behind!

I've played with the dragon before, and I read part of a game he was in, and I just think him and Lion would be good for each other
