I mean I openly said in my position that I would have lost this game if I were given Unilateral Dictatorship Powah (which I don't get often enough, sadly)
it's honestly surprising that my accuracy isn't worse than usual given the huge gap between when I was active and now, given how much the site meta has had time to change

if people find value in my commentary then A) that's kind of accidental because most of my reads post was GUT! >=D and B) so much the better but it comes without guarantees

and I sure don't care about me making meta cases on people because they're actually difficult to do well
I feel like they should only work on me and yet holy
heck
people of all levels of experience with me suck at reading me
if they work with/for others... well, I kind of have to believe in them in general tbh
I've been wrong about enough reads over the years to not do so

talking of me losing this game
if I were in (for instance) Firebringer's position in this game I would have opened second dance by PTBarnuming this line of thought

An offer you can't refuse?Everyone but unwnd+pops should leave the game.
To enforce this, my group will be last.
To enforce THAT, pops+unwnd can vote my team out.

If you don't believe unwnd+pops is Town, you can vote them instead.
If you believe that both scum are paired, you can make that case and we'll go from there.
Other than that, get going. The fun police have arrived; dance over.

and it would have been interesting to see how that would have gone
especially since it would not have made logical sense to vote for
my group
unless you thought we were S-S
Sounds like how I played this the time I was conftown.

The time you almost scared me with the shortaru pair.
They were paired because DVA/Short wasn't SvS

And the only requirement for that pairing was not SvS :c

Hell, the fact that people would never bring them to endgame bc Shortaru was scummy was a plus not a minus

Almost all of it, mostly to complain about how bad all the pairings were where everyone was locktown paired with a scummy slot

Even good scum players are losing a lot of scum games this year.

LLD and FL lost their last scum games. Scum winrates are pretty low.

Mislynching obvtown players is a skill that's never taught nor discussed as part of being a good scum player but it's the most important skill for mastering scum play.

Making the game pansexual is a huge buff to town.

It needs a compensatory nerf to town.

Final scum is best scum

Scumpartners are the worst, they spew you scum and don't do shit for you

Bus them all and play solo
