This was actually a good take and I have never thought about it.
Now that I think about it when I originally started sheeping someone it was probably eadiantcowbels and I do think I learned some things from watching them hunt/play as I really respect their play.
Although I don’t think I can really learn from LLD as I don’t think ill ever be able to use emotion the way they do to play mafia.
P.S sorry for bribing up RC cabd and making the comparison

Think I am tapping out for the night eyes are getting heavy. I am sleeping in hotel room floor because I refuse to share a bed with srceenplay so if I can’t sleep because I’m uncomfortable I’ll hop back in.

You can absolutely learn from watching us, because emotion is present in all players, regardless of how skilled they are at controlling or reading them.
Besides, a lot of the crux of my play is about motivation and intent as opposed to just emotional intelligence. But I won't deny that emotions are a big part of a game like this, and something I've very comfortable seeing and playing around as a result.
What you could learn from me, if you are a player who struggles with emotion as a game factor, is that if you view each player as you might a... say chess opponent. And ask, when they make this move (and requiring that you have some respect for their skill), what are they intending? What possible moves can they be setting up for the future? And why did they choose THIS particular move/opening/variant over another, and what does that mean for their motivations and goals.
If a player trends towards a great level of scum equity for future setup moves, and/or has a greater motivational likelyhood of being scum based on WHY they chose this path over another, you scum read and pressure them. If they have a clear town motivation, they may be good at hiding their scum motivations, but if you keep asking "why did they do this? what are they trying to accomplish?" you will have a sense of both their:
Motivation (why did they do this?)
and
Intent (What do they plan accomplish?/What moves are they setting up for the future?)
If you learn anything in mafia, about playing town, from me, learn that.
Why do you feel bad here? The last game you should have felt bad. I told you exactly what I was doing, exactly what scum would do, highlighted one of the scum and you still failed. Here, from what I have gleamed. My slot dove straight into a salt mine.

...
That happened like, a day(?) into d1. Giving up that early doesn't sound reasonable. I feel like if you didn't care anymore you either would have full claimed or withheld your whole claim out of spite. The way you've been trickling info the longer your wagon goes on indicates you do care imo.
I started at scum on toog, and tested it looking at older games. Mostly they didn't contradict the read, but there was one fairly significant difference I found in a scum game. Just one, which made me nervous and I wanted someone else to see that issue, and also to read some older scum games to keep testing.
That got shelved because god damn his play doesn't support the role he claimed.
If you were town with such a powerful, interesting and fun-looking role, would you have played this day the way he has?
I’m not sure how he has played the day honestly I can iso him if that would help
Not even a high-level overview of his actions? He's kinda been the center of attention. Are you actually caught up or not?

Haven't been feeling luke scum since the last go-around with DGB.
Forgot we had it there.
It's going to be painful for notsci, but we intend to vote Titus once it's time to send the wagon home.
Yeah Luke has picked it up recently. Thinking he's most likely town now.
Maybe game is just an easy {Toog, Wheme, DGB}. I feel the least confident about DGB by a ways though. It's too anti-town by nature and I think I got the misconception I could read it well because in my first town game with it, I caught scum!DGB on D1.

Nope I haven’t read like the first pages before my first post
Toog, if you are still reading along, I'm sorry you feel this way. Prioritizing you is definitely more important then the game. I also want to let you know that I have really enjoyed out games together, you are a good presence on site.
Me thinking about killing Titus day 1 again after Bloodstained

Did you not think about the implications of this line of thought?
And like, that question holds through regardless of your alignment

I see that manatee clarified that.
Wheme has been sinking in my reads, but there were a couple posts last night in his exchange with kate that looked good.
Hi Titus, have you been reading along? I know you accidentally posted once before rep in lol.
At the very least, I see you have an opinion on your own slots performance, do you have thoughts on other slots?

@Titus, but not game related lol

I do feel bad about that game, mostly because I never intended for you to did without a full claim, and I think that would have been enough for me to back off, but then suddenly you were dead, so
But at least for me, this did not really appeal to me at the time, because you were using the same logic to call me scum and I was town, so it did not really ring true in my brain
