Just ask penguin out.
You will always regret it if you don't.
But what if he doesn't think I'm pretty once we meet in person? Or we aren't up for an LDR?
...now I almost wish we could partner up just to be snarky and amusing in a PT.

If you think I might be scum, dance with me to sort me better and solidify that feeling.
If I come to the conclusion that you're scum I'd rather be able to argue for your lynch without taking myself out too. Going out in a blaze of glory is rather overrated.

See above. I thought this was an obvious strategy.
Not really. And going into it with that philosophy isn't likely to get your invite accepted. "Please come dance with me; I wore my steel-toed boots and have lousy coordination!"
377 is a shallow assessment of his ISO and doesn't really try to parse his motivation - the same words could be accurately said about you, I think, if I were going to use the same rhetoric. This is pretty null behavior without more of the game to get a feel for things.
His ISO is pretty shallow. I'm OK with my read on him at this point in the game. And if you think our ISOs read the same, who am I to tell you otherwise? Except someone who isn't impressed with your reading comprehension.
I don't feel that you are.
I'm working on it. At the point where I started commenting on your posts I didn't have a read on you one way or the other. We'll see how the rest of the pre-dance goes to change that.
Not sure if this was addressed to me, but I wasn't getting any emotional tone in this?

If we don't have someone that I townread to pair with Hebichan I will go there but I would prefer that Cabd and Penguin don't pair up and the only other person I trust to read Penguin here would be Maxous probably.
Okay, why on earth do you think you can read someone in a PT one-on-one better than in a thread? From my experience in scum-town neighborhoods, it's way easier for scum to manipulate a person individually than an entire game's worth of players. I've been on both sides of that (Wicked Mafia, Tales of You) and it's rather meh for town.
Why only trust Maxous to read me? I went back to check out of curiosity, and we've never played a game where we had to read one another. Maxous, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only overlap I saw in his topic list was NY 168 where I replaced in after he was dead and Open 543 where I replaced into a clear slot and the game was all but over. There's no reason to think he's got a bead on me, especially since he's not the only one who's scum read me here.

I have a town tell on Penguin that's 100% good so far. I'd rather not burn said tell.
If me linking with her is going to cause her to get auto-lynched; I'll pair with somebody who isn't as scummy; or I'll intentionally get flipped in the pre-dance phase to confirm my reads and tell was coming from town. I'm that confident.
People seem to already be lining up to lynch either my half or penguin's half of the potential pairing, sooooo.
The onyl reason I haven't taken action is that in the end; I want her opinion on this.
Heh, as much as I was looking forward to snarking with you and/or crossing swords in a private PT with you, I'd rather win here and be bitchy about this game in the post-game. Although man, a 100% good town tell so far? Now I wish you were the one who talked in your sleep.
I do think that with the number of people scum reading at least one of us {Cabd, PA} pairing up would just get us quicklynched. It seems you're cool reading me in the game thread, and I'm not as good at reading you as vice versa, so from a wincon perspective there's a lot of reason not to pair up.
I don't plan to accept any dance offers any time soon, probably not before about 48 hours to deadline. Although given right now the only one I'm still interested in dancing with is ActionDan since I don't trust Vecna, Maxous, or Priscila, and I'm not wild about keyenpeydee's ISO, that doesn't really say much. And ActionDan hasn't been around enough for me to be sure of much with him either.
