The fact that you're not remarking on the fact that the post was made around the same time I called RC and Shoshin a scum team for scum theater makes me feel better about RC as town

[Aubrey]

So whose the scum team jingle? This is the dead thread after all.

[Aubrey]

Oooh hopefully this gets juicy.

[Enter]

My scum read of Shoshin might be affected by her posting style, too. I'm uncertain.

[Aubrey]

She is rather blunt and to the point. She was in my last game.

[Enter]

I feel like I constantly have to squeeze her to get her to interact with the thread or share thoughts

[Aubrey]

She was kinda like that in my last go around with her. She’s rather introspective than outrospective. Least that was the impression I got. RC seems to think that her not being dead set on players is something town her wouldn’t do. In my game she came across as a very decisive player. She locked in people who were town quickly, and set her eyes on people that were scum with minimal waver. She didn’t make it to lylo, so I have no opinion on that.

I’d say though that being uncertain as she is maybe more town indicative from a general outlook at how scum operate. Scum keep options open by wavering. It seems to me that she has made reads and is now uncertain of the reads she has made. Something town are more often to do I think.

Take that for what you will. You have a better scope of the details of this game than I do.

[Aubrey]

I wrote that half way distracted. Let me know if anything doesn’t make sense

[Enter]

I agree that from the one game I played with her she was very decisive. The fact that she was certain Saudade was scum but then didn't push on it, promised to continue on the case later that night and then didn't, and refuses to push for lynch on Saudade is maybe scum indicative of her.

[Enter]

I'm trying to make it work in my head where RC would be pushing this hard to figure out who the second scum is for us.

I'm convinced Saudade is town.

[Enter]

I think it would be bm in a sense for them to do so

It's better to have the partner do it

I'm also convinced RC is town. There's no way a town player would ever out themselves as the scum buddy.

[Aubrey]

LMAO. RC's assessment kinda resembles our individual assessments.

You for MS and Shoshin.

Myself for Saude and MS.

[Aubrey]

I'm so over this self meta analysis with receipts play from people. I personally rarely care when people throw that out as defense when not asked directly for it. Seems like alot of this game has been self meta analysis, or people using meta dives to get reads. ugh.

[Enter]

I hate meta dives.

[Enter]

Not as much as I hate other things, and I've begun to use them a lot more recently, but it's not fun. :/

[Enter]

It is dangerous for me at this point to try and influence the thread, because I want to be right so badly that it might make me lose, so I'm going to post things in here for a bit while I have feelings that I want to get out and then I will objectively sort them once I've got my pride out of the way:

Why are we so bad at this game, RC?

Why are you appealing to RC right now?

[Enter]

I don't like MS' case on URAP

[Aubrey]

I like messing with him.

Fuck. I didn't read this when I made the shoshin comment. my bad.

[Enter]

It's ok. I don't know, man. I really don't like Shoshin's posting recently. I'm doing my best to stay objective in the thread but I feel like she's trying to 1v1 me right now and that's super weird cuz there's no real way to do that.

[Enter]

Actually part of the reason I'm scumreading her is that she tries to shade me as scum every time that I consider her as scum in the thread, I think.

Maybe she's just a different kind of player and I can't read her - it's very possible. I just really hate the whole "don't get this wrong" "no stress" "you'll lose it for town" "you're playing bad" sort of comments that come out in every mafia game when you try to push someone. It's so hard for me to deal with. Maybe I'll just take a break because I don't think I'm necessarily being objective.

[Aubrey]

Ignore shoshin's "

embarrassing

" comment if she flips town. It's a game based on paranoia after all, and there's nothing wrong with accidentally misreading someone. People get too tight and serious about accuracy in my opinion. Of course if she flips scum, then it was a tactic to get you off her case, so there is no reason to let it effect you then which goes without saying.

[Enter]

That's fair. Ugh. I'm gonna take a break for a bit and come back after I've eaten and my head has cleared.

[Aubrey]

I think once you let go of the fear of losing, and look at it as a just a fun game, it becomes more enjoyable.

--

as for this weight of the world on your shoulders, think of it like a game of soccer. The other team scores right? Whose to blame? Most people point at the goalie, but in actualy the whole team let that ball in the net. offence lost the ball. Defenders weren't able to defend. and the goalies (us) had a misstep. If town loses, we all lose. simple as that. It's a team game just as much as a individual game. usually people who blame others aren't able to look at the situation as a whole and be able to take responsibility for their own faults that they had in the game.

Once that is understood in the back of your mind, you stop caring about those remarks. They may have a small sting, but just brush it off and move on. Maybe don't join future games with those people. Hope that helps some.

[Aubrey]

i also apologize if my post influenced her to lash out. I was just goofing around kinda like what I was doing with RC, and wasn't expecting it to be taken seriously.
