I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

So limited time to solve implies an optimal way to divvy up your solving to maximize utility in reads idk this got too mathy as I was writing it

Anyway, these slots are ones I think have a good chance to contain scum and which have other reasons that solving their alignment will be more helpful.

Yeah, scum, there's like no attempt at solving.

In post 774, Frogsterking wrote:Morning tweet im still having a hard time understanding you. How do you motivate yourself to post when you roll town vs roll scum?
I would say it's more dependent on the game than my alignment. I'm primarily motivated by solving an already mostly played out game, as opposed to reading through interactions.

But you can really only do the latter D1 so I tend to be pretty weak. i also really really detest larger games because i usually don't end up reading the entire game, which hurts my confidence and motivation a lot -- at least, when the pages are growing and I'm not there.

In general my town game just varies wildly and i can't give you a great answer on what motivates me.

As scum, I'm not sure, I haven't rolled it in a serious setting in forever. I find it very easy to play in grand idea or otherwise super bastard games, but i attribute that more to those games than my actual play as scum being good.

Ceph might be scum because they feel the same as usual and they're usually scum. Someone brought up earlier something in the vein of how they aren't playing differently and i liked that

I thought VP didn't really react much to pressure which was the opposite impression I got from him when he was scum threatreing against Auro in our last game

I haven't really played with scum!Luke i just noticed he hit some of the notes that i get when im town and frustrated and everything i say just brings more votes. on the other hand i did not like any of his mechanical posts , felt like pointing out the obvious. I also haven't played with fire

Bell could be scum he's usually obvtown, i don't know Strange, Titus could be, GL maybe, he reminds me of last appearance when he was a little outspoken early then I didn't really notice him again

I don't want to say shit cause my reads are mostly could be's, im not trying to convince anyone of anytthing. Just trying to give a window

I thought Andante and Greeting were good for an early town start although i've seen a lot of reversal on that recently. i had not realized Andante was a rlly good scum player although I still would be much more surprised to see them scum than others

pedit: No it's not that'd be an insult to your scum game

I'm not trying to say you're automatically scum i just thought oyu haven't done anything that would surprise me

is good, IDK with Tweet, I might put them in the middle of the null posters.

Here's something I want to address moving forward:
In post 229, catboi wrote:
In post 218, The Bulge wrote:scum can't just strongarm their wincon without the majority of them being widely townread. it would be very easy to catch on and simply eliminate scum and put a hiatus on defusing bombs.
Realistically you're going to be stacking the towncore as the expert on night 1, or at least you should. The players outside who are eligible to be defusers are going to be somewhere outside that, either in POE territory or light townleans. I don't really think town's collective ability is good enough to have all the scum players in a POE by the end of day 1 unless the mod rolled an absolute chump scumteam, meaning any scum team member who is somewhere in the territory of null to a townlean would be a reasonably "safe" pick for defuser.
I want to know what viable compositions of scumteams exist in this playerlist who could get PoEd out by D1.

It's a good point and I think there's more to calculate than "nah town bad."
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.

Also, I'll fix my Luke read later, basically my plan there was to just go "yeah you're town!! talk to me!!" cause I think town luke makes good reads, and it just sucks when everyone is set on you being maf, I've been there before, so I was really hoping to make it a little easier on luke, and whelp luke left so that's fun, I'll like actually sort luke/fire later, I just wanted to clarify, I did not have a TR I'd die by on luke!!! I was mostly just trying to make the game a little more fun for him

ok, I'll be back later, I HAVE to do something.. wanted to say that on luke, and had the question for greeting, cause why the heck does my play style matter? it'd be one thing if you made an attempt to engage in a conversation with me here, but "i don't trust andante cause of her playstyle" EXCUSE ME???? not saying yall have to make me a bomb expert, I don't care, if I'm in front of a bomb I'm making every effort to solve it. so make me one or dont, don't care, but if we're going after my playstyle?? seriously?? I HAVE HAD NO INTERACTIONS WITH YOU AT ALL THIS GAME GREETING... WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
