The difference is I wasn't under pressure there, I was fairly townread and I was debating whether or not I could use that trust to shield him.
True, but I think that in this scenario there’s also the mitigating factor of your prior read on lilith making it hard for you to suddenly shift to bussing if you were on a “mutual townreads” course earlier on. Also if I remember right there was a mitigating factor in that game of pine having claimed tracker to save himself

Okay, how do I feel weird

Like in what sense do I feel weird

If I feel weird in a “trying to force the gamestate” one way that’s because that is exactly what I’m doing, yes. If you think I’m trying to do it in a scummy way or for scummy motivations then you should scumread me for it and try to remember in future that me trying to control the game is not a good way to read me unless you think it’s for clearly scummy reasons

I don't think it would be hard for me to shift to bussing, I never had lilith as more than a light townread and they were based on very early things.

i mean yeah i guess you feel weird because trying to shift the gamestate

that's why i said i don't think i can genuinely call you scum here
but i can't keep quiet about it becuase you know i gotta get out all my paranoia out at some goddamn point
so i'm aware i'm kinda just screaming in the wind here but

also why does that feel low-key condescending bc like i'm genuinely trying here

I don’t find it condescending

Like datisi, I’m gonna say the same thing pure boi said to me: if you feel like you need to scumread me, scumread me, as hopefully that’s the best way for you to finally be able to get to reliable reads on me. Like I think initially you tended to townread me because you (I think?) wanted me to be town. Now I think you’re in a phase of tending to scumread me because you’ve played a couple of times against me as scum where you had it right and points but ultimately came off me again or whatever

I don’t think you should be scumreading me because I think I’m verging on being out of my scumrange but if you need to then go for it I guess

I’d like us to get to a point where even if one of us is scum we don’t have to start off every game fighting or mutually scumreading each other as a pattern, or one scumreading the other because it’s really tiresome tbh

I will reread your posts and think about it a bit later, not right now

Oh right, the city planners game from NSG right

Okay, what do you make of S_S saying he hasn’t been hard townreading lil and that’s it’s more from her end towards him? And the implication of that on the feeling you have

i think it's darn paranoia becuase this game doesn't feel [solved] and i think i'm wrong [somewhere] and while i don't think i'm wrong on you i think i'm legally obliged to have this conversation with myself at least like once per dayphase

right

like this feels as if the day's already over and we've decided we're lynching in {lili, s_s}

Okay, so why do you think you’re feeling that you’re wrong somewhere?

Also datisi if I’m about to work through your reads with you to try and help you get to a greater confidence and you end up flipping scum I’m gonna be so pissed in postgame lmao

and i'm kinda wary that if i give up on ss today it's just not going to happen

How likely do you think a bus driver is? I don’t think bingle does lie about mechanics and he’s said that 3-4 T’s is the most likely outcome in which case there is no scum bus driver. In which case you just shooting him tonight always means he dies?

Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:28 am
by skitter30
i think there's a decent chance there's a bus driver and i therefore don't want to talk about where i'm intending to shoot / if i'm intending to shoot

Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:29 am
by skitter30
like i want to keep open the possibility of holstering or shooting ss or shooting a {secret scumread that will henceforth not be named} because then hopefully if i'm still around n3 any potential bus driver will have been spent

that's the problem, i don't *know*

like sure lili could be red, okay fine i'm accepting that
i still kinda don't think s_s is? and there's the jumbled mess of {fb, maria, pp} and i'm kinda townreading everyone else

like the thing is i am not seeign anythign pointing at "this is wrong" other than my expericence that my reads are generally garbage
