Because his approach in that game is very different then his approach in this game. And he was scum in that game, and he is ?? in this game. As it turns out, I draw comparisons to past experience to come to conclusions.

The thought that he typed out was also more in line with my own thoughts in both games. So, noticing a similar line of thinking to my own.

i only asked abt the leaving/benefit/etc aspect honestly because i was considering how important pairs actually are compared to being lovers

i don't think it leads anywhere but i was sort of just. hm. is a narrative somehow being pushed here under the premise of like... how to explain. people thinking about this game as traditional dancing.

it was not until this moment that I realized that the dance partners would not be lovers

I actually didn't realize the N2+ kill on didn't work by eliminating pairings, still only single players. I knew the first was only solo but assumed the rest were lover kills.

I fuckin' hate mechanics

Alright well, fucking up the fundamentals yet again, so if anyone needs me for anything too bad.

I'm buying a fifth of vodka and a giant box of chicken tenders. Someone can come drag me out of this ditch in the morning.

Of the remaining ladies, I don't trust enchant. I do not want them to make the final pairing. I think we should leave the most important one with fire or datisi atm.

The other dance games worked a little differently, it was simply every pair is treated as lovers and dies together from the start

ok read breakdown
prism's SR on me is the worst because it's very sudden and doesn't feel genuine. like the thing is this idea of me wanting to beat good players is meh at best in general. on top of that, prism hasn't really played with me much so having that much confidence in a meta tell like that is weird. i liked the intreactions with me re: andante pairing but pairing with andante is still something that just doesn't sit well with me. there's not much other content that can be juiced out of that pairing, but it's just ... a bad feeling. it feels like the exact move an experienced scum player would pull and I cant stop thinking that.

everyone TRing Dunn is a bad look on it's own. In what game has town dunn ever been townread this way? like if the playlist doesnt look like Cabd ffery peta LLD etc, it doesn't really happen. Obviously this is a very 1 dimension way to explain this read, but explaining it further is hard and I do want to wait for more dunn content to get the most out of the ISO.

Lukewarm feels very ... weird tonally. But I think Lukewarm becomes clear with time. So like if it's like day 3 and more than half of the playerlist thinks Lukewarm is scum, eliminate, no questions asked.

Ydrasse I initially thought was town (after all of the assuming i mean) for all of the interactions with me, but I'm actually inclined to take it back. Scum ydrasse is capable of so much that I shouldn't carelessly give a town pass before day 2 at the very least.

and now im bored and dont want to finish this. i might come back and finish things later

We vote out pairings to leave during the day, and pairings can force a partner exit.

Scum nightkill a player, though, not a pairing.

I knew that for N1 but (wrongly) thought it killed pairings afterwards. Looking more closely, no nightkill ever eliminates both partners.

ok i get the setup now i think.
1 person leaves dance pre-dance
people dance
scum nk
the nk's dance partner finds a new partner or leaves the dance. if successfully find a new partner, the new partner's old partner leaves

not really.
pre-dance, 1 person leaves
thats basically a day 1 elimination
post night 1, 1 person finds a partner or leaves the dance. this is another elimination.
and then we repeat i think

yea but like the elims feel so individually chosen. and people can't just sit on a 1 person wagon vote the whole day, everyone is forced to make some sort of active choice, and the choices become more significant the later in the phase it is

idk, i think its neat

the only reason choices would matter is basically if town do not choose to work together and everyone chooses things on their own.
