i kind of hate the gamestate right now.
i feel like im responsible for reading dunn and i also feel like every single situation is bad except for the specific situation where dunn is scum and i get them out today.

if i die, town dunn will get heat for my read on them. SPECIFICALLY town dunn because scum dunn will wiggle their way out of it
if dunn dies, i just get flashwagoned tomorrow
but if dunn is scum and i die, they'll just float to the end and then i feel like im responsible for that

i hate how paranoid i am and i hate that i just constantly want to be like ok everyone shut up just leave me out today and then all i can think of is like oh my god noraa everyone's going to just scumread you for saying that like why do i even care at this point?!?!?!??!? sigh alright

Datisi shifting is not surprising but its frustrating because datisi holds sole power here. Dunnstral made a good choice because 1v1ing for a dance partner against me is the easiest thing to do in this gamestate.

one last time, datisi is scum dunn going to be harder to catch or is scum noraa going to be harder to catch?

No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Would Lukewarm actually doubt you when you said you had RL stuff to deal with.

does that make enchant scum for you? because accepting a dance with a partner who outright doesn't townread you feels like a very shitty strategy, especially when your game-gender is in the minority
I'm not certain actually, but there's something about that I really don't like, and that pair could honestly be S/S and I think that's the best explanation for why people are acting like they are here?? idk, I think I'll just be going back

lol ah yah, I mean hey, yall been talking getting reads, I'm out of the way. I hate when I'm the main one talking, like, then it feels like I'm controlling the conversation, and when I'm controlling it, I can't read interactions of people cause if I have everyone talking to me, and not to each other, that really doesn't help with seeing how people naturally interact, plus like I was legit busy irl so I said that. I don't see the issue?

In post 774, Dunnstral wrote:Your bemoaning about how you would drag datisi down but not being willing to swap your partner or even comment on it is minus points
this is something that really caught my eye and i like that dunnstral pointed it out

because if noraa really was that worried about zir dragging a townie down, why is zir still thinking about pairing with me if i'm town?
In post 785, Noraa wrote:how does it block you? it gives you datisi so you dont have to 1v1 anyone to get a dance partner
and this part, coupled with the above, is also ??? because i have agency in this? i make the final choice who i'm dancing with? like, i feel like a goal-oriented townie that wants to solve the game is like, gonna talk to me and get me to listen who to pair with, while scum is gonna be afraid that i'm gonna see through them and change my mind and is trying to shut the idea down before it even sets off
this hadn't caught my eye until dunn brought it up but fwiw i thought it was a pretty strong point

fwiw my noraa read is also sort of predicated on the idea that ze realized ze was scumposting somewhere around when i started attacking zir in earnest and is trying to change on a dime to zir more emotion based play.

this is actually me giving ze credit as a scum player. it's something that i did in a game quite a while ago, when ffery pointed out that i was playing my scum meta, and i realized she was right, so i immediately turned around and started giving my town meta solely because of that comment. iirc i won that game.
In post 805, Ydrasse wrote:but despite all that i’m kind of like

is it silly to have 3/3 scum unpaired right now

because for me i think it leaves it in noraa/luke/mala/fire but the latter two are kind of reads that are just There right now as poe more than a strong reason to believe they’re mafia

and then the other wolf in my brain looks at like bell but then goes 3 gentleman mafia reads? hmmmm
please don't dismiss 3-gentleman or 3-lady teams. i would be shocked if mods did not randomize this.

Yeah this person is definitely dead set in their read and Lukewarm could never convince them otherwise
This is sort of valid. I think Luke got this take secondhand, i.e. a lot of players were treating my fire pair as inevitable even though fire's posts don't actually seem as insurmountable as the general consensus has treated it
