But I love being thrown under the bus, and I literally just tried a S/S pair and got punished for it.

Is it like... normal-ish that scum would be 2/2 in gentlemen/ladies or is there no way to know? I get that there might be no way to know for sure, but is there any site meta history to look to so i can at least have something as an likely basis? Because i'm just gonna assume 2/2 otherwise.

In post 2424, Firebringer wrote:like im not gonna hold it against u 2 for pairing esp since if ur town u don't want to just die, but to say its a bad choice for scum to do it is just not gonna hold water.

I think ur way too focused on general vibe of game being against u and trying to live instead of looking at grand picture for town and trying to focus on making sure we have town pairs to endgame instead of just urself. Its like anti town survivalism ur doing if ur town, its ur survival above town win con imo
I love this post.

Of course. What I mostly want is a bit of space, I have some experience with Galron and it doesn't seem implausible that I can get a solid read on him given time.

No, I don't. But I think you're capable of doing what you've done as scum, but
Galron
would not put his buddy in the position that you are in at least.

So I really want
Galron
to answer to the suspicion on him.

Where have I done this? An understanding of where people stand on my slot is relevant for forming a pair, and I haven't even been that focused on myself compared to past dance games.

No way to precisely know. I'm sure Math could do the probabilities but I'm not him and not sober. I think 2/2 is the most likely but doesn't occur even half the time.

every post ive seen from u is a reaction post to people putting u in this situation where ur going to die and u seem to be in defeatist/low WIM situation because of it. I can see ur hyperfocused on how everyone perceives u and potential partner. Do we need to go through posts? I don't see independent hunting that isn't in relation to everyone opinions of urself.

Theres no post from u i have seen where it wasn't like "ohh so SS is hunting without anyone pushing him to hunt or he feels like he is reacting to game vibe"

like i know generally ur not like a proactive player but this game just feels again like what i know of ur scum game. I know u can slow ball as town but this is like that reactionary feel to it

Another question for seasoned dance game veterans.
Does the pairs typically end up being more likely scum the later they pair up? Because i got that vibe from Squid game where like 5/6 of the scum were almost all in the last team pairing when people were asked to form teams. I didn't want to ask this previously because scum knowing beforehand could skew this statistic.

scum generally pair up later in the game day but i wouldn't actually hold water as im not running some statistical analysis on it. for instance i always am either first or second person to pair no matter my alignment

Probably more likely in the yolo pairings than anything else

Very good. Check the Burgundy game. That'd be a good one to add to your sample but I have no idea how that turned out. I checked out after being limmed for vla essentially.
