Which ones?

Yeah definitely, which is why I’m feeling increasingly pessimistic about our chances.

Due to initial IC reveal.

Although I agree and i do see the reason to be cautious, I think it's being pushed too hard for something that anyone can do.
What's to say Allo (A town read of mine) would be any better? He has stated that I'm Scum enough and shown that he wants me out of the game. Would you sit there and let me just say exactly what you're saying and agree with it?
In all honesty, and a yes or no is NAI to me, if I was town reading you would you actually be pushing shade onto it as much as you are now? Reason i said NAI is because I believe it's a survival reaction from either Scum or town.

And even though I can see the threat to someone having 8 coins I see 5 people leaving taking out the view to see if I lollynch and the potential to see other vote patterns if I don't.
At the end we still lose 5 people. Just my way of thinking gives more information as a whole.

Well a lot of it is personality and how you've played the game entirely up to this point. Naturally part of it is also because you're scumreading me but I wouldn't be worried about it regardless if it was in the hands of somebody I was pretty confident would never be rash about it.

Honestly I like the later IC reveal as long as no one craps it up before intermission.
SO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR EVERYONE!

You think you’re actually making it to the first dance?

Why?

Because scum can't kill IC, so it lives until the pair is lynched/leaves or the game ends
...I did think of a way for scum to still screw things up. Should I share or no? I rate it Medium on the "random possibilities scum may have already thought up" scale (ratings are Common, Medium, and Rare; btw this is me applying a funny system to something that happens often).

Fair enough I can see that.
I can tell you now though I'm not going to be voting Willy nilly. This should be to the person with 7 coins too and making a clear but unofficial vote.

What's you're reads Gamma! \o/

Yes, share. I don’t understand how this setup, is good for town at all.

Not sure beyond some feelings from before the spamfest (recall feeling you were town and Nancy was scum), but I intend to fix that.

Didn't like your one-track defense.

I read as much as I could in full and then skipped to the present when I gave up.

“One track defense”? What?

I feel like your only defense for a long time was "I'm being scumread for asking 'why Ank'"

Nancy what do your reads look like now

In post 1843, Gamma Emerald wrote:I feel like your only defense for a long time was "I'm being scumread for asking 'why Ank'"

Why ? The why part is correct but I’m fairly certain I didn’t single out Ank. So, I’m legit confused why you make it a point to mention Ank over Fire, who was the one hardpushing me?

Keep saying it means fuck all without actions.
It's 100% AtE so it alone is NAI.
Personally I'm bored of reading it and each time I see Ank post it I read through Dr Worms ISO to get some actual content.

I don't think so. Sure, I could see mafia mentioning this plan once or twice to gain some town cred. But here she's made it the focal point of her posts for the last like 30 pages. If she ends up going through to the dance, she'll probably face pressure in general and for what changed her mind. That's not a risk mafia generally wants to take.

This is the issue I'm feeling. I don't have strong indications of scum!Dann (atleast, not things that I can place into words reliably) but I'm feeling that more than 1 player here is viewing the handsome rogue through rose tinted glasses.

Dann's been pretty charasmatic, and I do like his personality. As redundent as this might be, likability=/=allignment, and at the very least I'd prefer if people didn't conf-town Dann and completely place him out of the equation yet.

I'm blushing

I'm perfectly fine with this read and like the approach.

I tend to get widely town read very early on in the majority of my games and I've started to become rather paranoid about people who do that too easily or default to that when they first see me in a game. Just because it feels like an easy choice, which might have been one of the things that pinged me about Allo when he first came in. Vedith was his top scum read, which I thought was lazy, and I was his top town read. Maybe that's too much paranoia than something to actually care about though.

Hm, I'm having the opposite problem of some people where I'm struggling to get confident scum reads

Yes, share. I don’t understand how this setup, is good for town at all.

Why haven’t you answered this yet?

I still don’t understand how this setup is beneficial to town.

It's NAI. Either align can do it. As town or Scum they can be legit angry or faking the emotion.
If anyone tries to push it as their reason for town/Scum after pre dance I'm pushing them.
