tammy if there's one thing i've learned about trust fall games it's that if a nub wants to fall for a scum player there's almost no way to convince them not to game throw

He did, but did he see your post for sure? And did he know that it counted for sure?

No way am I writing wisdom off as town off of that.

But I actually don't have any town reads right now, so I'm just going to poo poo the lot of you.

I missed this. On EM I would get policied virtually every game barring mechanical clears. This doesn't happen on MS, and my mindset has shifted accordingly. I like to trade myself for two+ miselims, and I'd love to showcase that style in games sometime, though.

Yeah I was watching it in real time. I'm still not going to write wisdom off as town for that.

I've been bit in the ass too many times for writing people off as town off things like that, and I'm not going to do that this game.

like you're assuming wisdom as scum would know to trust Enchant's rule interpretation as gospel and also know to press the eject button immediately inside a minute.

when it probably takes him more time than that to check the rules for himself to make sure enchant isn't bullshitting him, make a decision on what he wants to actually do, and there's also the fact that we signed up to play a game in the first place?

Now do I think Wisdom, who I think could figure out how to get town reads without voting or death tunneling, would come out with something hokey like "how do I get town reads without voting?" as scum. Maybe not, even joking. But I don't trust that interpretation of mine either.

But I respect his scum game too much to just write him off for not trusting when he could have. He could have either not trusted the rule would be in effect and didn't want to risk it or thought that doing it was too risky.

That's fine! I change my mind a lot too, but why wouldn't getting people to talk about the reasoning for their reads and trying to determine if they're real or bs be productive?

ftr i was stonewallng you in hopes youd implode as you seemed to be heading in that direction
a bit mean but eh

i just dont like the huge switch in attitude you had, especially when it comes as a response to a post calling out your urge to solve, simple as that
comes across disingenuous asf

i think the innocence can be trusted here
if his scum game is that powerful maybe you should be wary but i always tend to give the benefit of the doubt to these kinds of players
