check the event rules - the flip is forced between those two

this of course doesn't prevent you from reading me/gammagooey, i'm just saying

we don't know! the events are unknown to us before they are announced. we only know that the event after this is the final one, and that
someone
must die today. the votes on ydrasse are locked in so it's one elimination maximum. gammagooey is always going to be voting yea here and ydrasse will self-pres, so...yeah

are you actually enjoying the interactions we're having at this point? If you are then keep on keeping on but otherwise I feel like we can drop the cheekiness and the emojis.
I'm just tired of the game at this point. no offense meant to Morning Tweet b/c I think the flavor and theme are amazing but everyone except Ydrasse and me feels like they're incensed and bitter in various different ways.
maybe incensed isn't the right word for it but some feeling of combining energized and outraged.
i'm doing fine tbh

my motivation levels have actually been significantly higher than they were for the last 2 events, as i finally got the flips i wanted. despite my bravado about trying hard, i realized it's very easy to take my head out of a game by making it unpleasant to think about
however, finding out two singular scumreads when the game was at 9:3 is legitimately energizing. i rarely have reads that good.
anyway, the page before this one is seen and heard.
despite all the tribulations, the game as a mystery to be solved has been entertaining for me. probably worth making a mafia discussion post about how to scumhunt in endgame, depending on how it turns out
also, i get to write a post about skitter. that's going to be fun.

really, i've been great?
don't know how much attention you're paying to my posts if you think i'm outraged! i have feelings toward certain events in this game but for the most part i'm just analyzing very hard and that should be obvious!

i suppose i should address this
these aren't really good reasons to townread someone?
"seems genuine" is vague. it can be said about anything. in my reread, i didn't really agree at all that he seemed genuine. i didn't get into strong detail on most of the pushes in particular, but this by itself is nothing. this was the sort of thing DV riffed on in team mafia 2021, how people were just saying "reck seems town" without any real reasoning behind it.
i think being bullheaded and focused on how people are reacting to opinions are personality traits at best, and have little to do with alignment. there's no real reason scum can't play that way. like, expecting people to follow him or be convinced is town...why? scum want people to follow them. they'll pretend to be open to being convinced if it suits their interests.
the thing is with scum, you are looking for someone who is knowingly advancing the scum win condition with their play. not the stuff you are saying here.

In post 6944, Gammagooey wrote:I could still be wrong about Taly being scum, I just still think they make much more sense as scum than anyone else in the game. Your idea of the scumteam seems to be that they went all-out in bussing Gemerald at the start,
let him bus basically everyone but skitter back immediately
and eventually bussing Fire at the end of the crossing.
also, dude, how do you think scumteams work? people generally don't ask for permission before writing every post unless they're extremely lacking in self-confidence. the "throw a bunch of shade at your buddies to distance when it looks like you're going down" maneuver is super common. if that's the route someone getting piled on early goes, their team can't do much about it.

ok ngl reading this game is very inaccessible, does anyone have some juicy interactions with some flipped scum or some crunchy high tension gamestates they can suggest I go read over?
this game is war & peace except worse because it doesnt gave a cliffnotes page I can cram in a couple of hours

yay tw recognizes that I'm carrying this game in NY back
Ok done stroking my ego uh
I made my case last page on GGY scum. IE the pink and blue team were private PTs and I'm the last living member from Pink team.
And part if Ggy's assertion that in scum hibges on knowing something I actually dud despite it not being mentioned in the game otherwise.

Saber-scum put a fucking dangerous associative around my neck by consistently TMI ing me as town in several early game posts when I was arguably a UTR and didn't need help with that
Judging from messages I remembered earlier, she was OK with me getting nomd in the Blue Team tho?
I was one of 3 people who voted Dunn-scum to be in the duel where hedied. The votes were Me, Dwlee, and Infinitt in this order
I'm the only living one from this trio on his wagon ironically.
Literally fought skitter most of the Pink PT and now since those interactions aren't clear it's the main point on why I'm obvscum...
