Not sure how I feel about this? Like purely from looking at the setup, sure.
But there's people in those minigames. The scum team knows what minigames they have a good chance of winning and while the mechanics impact it, a game with less win% for scum in a purely mathematical sense doesn't mean that's what it actually is in practice.
Sillyposting could be the easiest scum win at the moment, purely off of the circumstances of the 3 people within it.
So acting like this is the what this switch means is a very closed off way to look at the game imo. It worked fine as an overview pregame or day 1, but at this point it's no longer that simple.

i would interact with others but nothings really interesting in terms of their games so far, still dont like dwlee from yesterday tho but ur my focus bb
Which felt like you were saying you were gonna just focus on Faker.

I am aware, but I was responding to Marci saying "you swapped me in so that you could win this "hard to win" mini game for scum"
I don't think that MD sense to be called the "hard to win mini game for scum" and I was pointing that out.

marci, while I suspect you're just trying to force through tone, if there was deeper strategic intent behind it and you were hoping in your opener that you could exploit something along the lines of an unreadable 1v1 of Signs, that is not how this minigame works unfortunately.
The blueprint for that involves
forcing
me to respond by making bad-faith interpretations of my posts. This puts me in the bind of either relying on other people to read deeply themselves, or in responding but creating an unreadable web.

What does everybody else think?
i wanna know what made you think this.
im pretty sure at this point their push on me is partly in fact that theyre scum and partly fact they seem to hate me
Bruh what makes you think I hate you vs just think you're scum?
I don't really know why but this post feels good from Dwlee. hmm.
Also this does not feel partnered whatsoever.
He dropped into the game, and saw me calling you scum for locking in, and jumped to us being partners. Still has doubled down on that making any kinda sense, which feels like he was not actually thinking about it and was just looking for people to call scum.
Like, if we are partners, me calling you obviously scummy from the jump feels like I would be sacrificing the game you are in right away. And it does not really make sense for me to set you up to lose the "easy" scum mini game.
And he has latched onto the line that if I were town, I would have locked into SGB -- while simultaneously not having locked into the SGB game himself lol
And his approach feels really similar to my own in the last game, where I faked confidence in ari being town and pav being scum all game.

when luke flips scum remember this is scum distancing with marci

This was my thought when I pointed out that he called all three people who posted page 1 scum.
Like, it seemed more likely to be coming from scum looking for people to scum read, then for town actually trying to sort a list of 8 players, and landing on it being the three first people he saw content from.

I'm happy enough leaving marcistar to her own devices so I'll take a step back and let other people contribute for awhile. I'm especially interested in more from SGB.
I'd like to think the Sillyposting lock was town but I'm not going to call alignment on Lukewarm quickly now that the stakes are high. I'm happy enough with the current arrangement.
I will also continue to offer unsolicited, condescending but well-intentioned wisdom on occasion, partially out of goodwill but partially to let it sink for her what a mistake this was.
I know you've said this but like, does your hero solve being incorrect change anything at all to you?
Not even hurt your poor little Miltank heart, that you would accuse an innocent Discord moderator like me?
Or was I just a fun extra inclusion to your Marci and Lukewarm read? I'm legitmately curious as to what the thought process behind that whole solve was, even if half-joking.
Also, contextually, while it's not really pressing or might be of interest, this is where I'm coming from with spitballing that this might be a scum/scum swap to avoid Dragons going in a game with me:

There were no props or discussion postgame. It was not even remotely a fun 3 way for him. He claims to want a rematch, and maybe he genuinely does. I doubt he holds my play in high regard, and I'm sure he'd love to see me lose, but it's hard to believe he'd legitimately want to go through the
process
again. Sometimes you're satisfied with your own opinion and judgments of yourself and another, and there's no need to pay the steep price of testing them.

but I know Marci and that's scum on the run if i've ever seen one
Also this is a bizarre post; he might anticipate being wrong but he relishes the chance to be the first person to read me with any consistency in ~7 years and I doubt he passes on the chance to pad the record so easily.
Focusing on marcistar is a better call but he's not going to ignore trying to read my slot entirely as town.
