Holiday Dance Party ---- Game Over

[Datisi]

hm. for what it's worth, taly, that does sound like decent reasoning to think alyssa is indeed town. i'm just wary because i think that she'd have an easier time pocketing me in the pt than guiltylion.

I've been traveling today and will have time to play for real later. Juet landed in Phoenix. I wanna say just based on the last page that Catboi/SS is a terrible idea it just results in catboi leaving early. S_S should only be paired with another suspected slot or preferably iced out of the dance entirely

My biggest concern at this point in the game is that there are a number of people who are looking entirely the wrong way and need to see some flips to get a better perspective. I would gladly pair with you at this point, but fear that it would potentially lead to a loss of agency in this game, which is my greatest concern at this point in time. I don't think it's too hard to see who's playing for survival but apparently not true for everyone. Feels like certain people are angling directly for having partners who will be advantageous to them.

I think there are interesting connections to be drawn from S_S based on the way several people have treated the slot.

5/10

[catboi]

And I don't really townread Cabd/SS but I do notice a trend that they're being pushed by several slots with understated reasoning. I also like the thought of pairing one of LLD/Prism/Cabd slot with Catboi because each of those three predecessors either had a strong townread or scumread of Cat.

I feel like any of those slots flipping scum would more or less clear me as town based on how they played around me, but again I'm not really that concerned with proving myself town here.

Running out of posts for the day, probably going to wait until later for further input

would

.

Editing is case anyone was as confused as I was when I read that

[Datisi]

sorry x_x if i'm picking between guiltylion and alyssa, and i pair with scum, i think lesser damage will happen to town if that scum is guiltylion than if that scum is alyssa.

[Alyssa The Lamb]

Am I really that scary of a scum player?

I replaced out of a lot of my scum wins in the past few years and I kinda feel like this type of setup would be one I approach by just looking to force a bunch of really shitty pairings that town can't reasonably find two TvT confident pairings in

But I don't actually know for sure, especially since I haven't ever played the 4 scum variant before

[catboi]

I'm he best scum player left in this game *blows on nails*

[Alyssa The Lamb]

You're such a flirt

[Alyssa The Lamb]

Oh hey GL was in my last scum game

Nice

[Something_Smart]

SS

, what is youe take on

Cat

? lol

I... am not going to pretend that I can read him at this stage. His scumgame is pretty smooth.

I think it's probably not a great idea for us to be paired given he has kind of a similar paranoia of me.

[Ydrasse]

not feeling this today, will catch up maybe later or tonight or tmrw

I think it’s another popping up awful argument from the conveyour belt of bullshit that is forcefeeding me in this game. Just more circumstances i cannot control. I don’t know what Titus is doing because we’re not alligned. I just know she did something weird and probably must have a bit of an derpy memory. That’s all i can say. If you want to continue pushing this line that’s fine, but i will respect you less for it. And probably question your motives stronger than i have previously.

I feel like this is kinda melodramatic, you can just say you disagree without saying I'm force feeding you bullshit

Also, I don't really get the "respect you less" bit, because a) what if I were scum, and b) I literally caught Vanders off a similar derp in our last game together and no one listened to me. So I was kinda hoping you'd at least respect my idea even if you ultimately don't find it convincing. Am I correct then in thinking your position is that town and scum are equally likely to forget who they already said they wanted paired?

[GuiltyLion]

Seat of knowing and all that.
But i think Prism's posting up to 42 has been pretty transparently town.
What don't you like?

Norway I wanna ask you this

I actually like a lot of Prism's posting but the thing is when I reread it again and tried to reset myself, it's a lot of stuff I agree with but not a lot of stuff she could never post as scum

what do you think she posted that you would say is not possible or not likely to be a scum post?

Also I was kinda hoping for your actual thoughts here. I don't see why scum!Prism wouldn't be capable of writing many of these posts

[GuiltyLion]

1721 kinda feels townie to me :/

[GuiltyLion]

I'm frustrated at any push against

Ydrasse

right now and anyone insinuating that I had no agency in considering a pair with

LLD/Titus

,

Ydrasse

,

Prism

, and

Cabd

--- and this includes something

GL

suggested in one of his posts as

LLD

pushing a scum narrative by gatekeeping my pair, as though she had the power to do that.

I'm confused, I dont think I said anything about LLD gatekeeping your pair? Which post gave you that impression?

The closest I can recall is when I was talking about how LLD suggested she might want to pair with you, I saw that as potentially a townie move cause I don't think scum would benefit from offering to do that. But I certainly didn't mean to suggest in any way that you had no agency?

[GuiltyLion]

I think GL’s ignoring me is suspicious

What did I ignore? I kinda felt like you were trying to buddy me with your initial posts about me. But I don't remember anything I was explicitly supposed to respond to

[Firebringer]

full day of halo infinity.
good use of my day.

how yall doing?

[GuiltyLion]

Thanks

GuiltyLion

, why pair with

Datisi

if you think there's a decent chance of him leaving you?

Also

GL

, what are mislims that you think are easy in this game? IE, who do you think is in any PoE to be left out that you think is a misfire?

1. I'm not really worried about Datisi leaving me - I'm town and I'm confident I can exert the level of effort and energy in this game required to help Datisi see that. Honestly if this game goes terribly off the rails I'd be more worried about me getting Wrongly Paranoid about Datisi than I would Datisi leaving at a time that would lose the game

2. I'd say Andante, RH9, Mala would be my picks for slots that scum might push for an easier miselim

full day of halo infinity.

how yall doing?

Not much, being bored with the game watching people spin in circles. Slept in and watched some football, went for a run

catboi, legit question:

hm. for what it's worth, taly, that does sound like decent reasoning to think alyssa is indeed town. i'm just wary because i think that she'd have an easier time pocketing me in the pt than guiltylion.

sorry x_x if i'm picking between guiltylion and alyssa, and i pair with scum, i think lesser damage will happen to town if that scum is guiltylion than if that scum is alyssa.

what do these two posts tell you about datisi's alignment?

Those seem...fairly consistent in their view? He's more wary of being fooled by you than by GL. Makes some sense given familiarity although I'm not sure why he'd be confident catching GL-scum given recent history.

I mean, it could easily be scum posturing to try to get the dance partner they want but I don't think it's impossible for town to write those posts.

I did wonder at the time if LLD was wrongTown and one of, or both, of marci/galron were aiming for this well-poisoning effect. That's definitely a narrative I can imagine, and LLD then proposing to pair herself with Taly also felt like it might be a Town Move.

why didnt u bring up this point before? :< whyd u wait until someone else did?

I think if LLD is town who simply misfired on me, marci/galron are both playing like scum racing to see who can live off her coattails the longest lol
