Greetings, salutations.
Many a strategy for this setup has been passed onto us by our elders.
I dare suggest that anyone not familiar with the tales of old read up on the exploits of the party with all sorts of mystical creatures.

It looks like the one of the biggest problem that is happening in dance games seem to be town leaving the dance, often after an emotional outburst.

As of right now, I feel that you're both stubborn fools of light heart.
I would not place my feet into the sparring circle if I'd felt otherwise.
In your case, your predecessor has very specific things that are hard for him to have faked, and your brash posts since taking upon the blue mantle have pinged well.
In the case of the chartrouse one, my read is not nearly as deep, but a surface level good vibe, as it were.
In some ways it makes me jealous, to see you two bicker like an old married couple.AKNIGHT.COOL-

While I'm willing to take this under advisement, I do caution that GiF is English Second Language. He often has errors parsing complex roles and specific wordings. The flowery language upon which the Rainbow Maiden's role rests is quite thick, indeed.
I played with him many many moons ago.

My reads are starting to feel as if they're sorted by post count, as well.
This is a mistake, not because it's unlikely for scum to not post in an anon game, but because familiarity breeds laziness and we can't have that.
I should probably start making old school bracketed reads and force myself to place colors appropriately.
I enjoy that the pace of this game is manageable, and that for the most part things have stayed civil. Games in the past few years have rarely followed that trend, and I'd love to keep things in that realm.

I feel my intent has been mistaken.
My message to the knight of the Pokemon League Indigo Plateau was not intended as shade, but as the opening of a dialogue to help them express what parts of the game they did have thoughts about.
That it was slapped down and taken as hostile makes me sad, but communication is a two way street so I accept that I could have worded things better.AKNIGHT.COOL-

Whichever of you kindly described me as a support is generally correct.
I am the Soraka of this thread. This game is moving at a healthy pace with minimal fighting and I intend to do my best while here to keep it that way.
Nobody likes the fifty pages in twenty four hours pace that some recent games on site have ran.
And who can blame us? That is absolutely insane to try to read and process.AKNIGHT.COOL-

I just got home, and apparently this game is now that one meme with the guy delivering pizza to the burning building.
Is this not transparently a WIFOM shot to cover a S-S pairing by getting a wider pool of elims on T-T pairs?
Because in the hot seat, that is exactly the play I would have made.

I think there's potentially a scum S-S pairing, with one deepwolf paired to one LHF scum. By making a WIFOM kill in the "middle fo the pack" T-T pairings, they increase paranoia on the remaining T-T pairs, which at this point in time I believe is my own, and one more. Remember, even if there's a S-S pairing, a T-T pairflip is game over. This increases their target size from one to two. I would say the other is rainbow's, but she outright LIED about the reads in the hood so now I don't know.In post 778, Knight Beige wrote:

There were my reads during my reread over night two, independent of pairings:
The flip of a "middle to lower" pack T-T pair makes me think we're going full on mind games, as I mentioned before. I suspect we've got a S-S pair with a deepwolf paired to a non-deepwolf.
Now the currently living pairings with my original reads applied...
I don't have enough scum in there.... If there's a S-S pairing, it pretty much has to be Rose-Indigo..... but with how the end of day zero went down, I'm not really sure that it's the case? If I take back the rainbow hood stuff I set aside, it is POSISBLE that rainbow-daffy are both extremely competent deep wolf players and that's why everything feels lopsided. Crimson is 50000000% town and the only way they die if by leaving the dance or we get voted, I am 100% firm that crimmy's town and never leaving. I had flashes of paranoia but then I re-read the day one ISO.
Rainbow.... what made you choose to neighborize me exactly?
Do people think that rainbow could have genuinely missed the reads I sent her?AKNIGHT.COOL-

I agree with your Rose part of the solve, a non-zero part of me thinks it's daffy not rainbow due to the sheer oddity it would be for scum rainbow to have done the "missed my reads" stuff in the neighborhood, but I guess that's possibly just a planned act?

1: You were threatening to leave and in fact, expressed in the thread that your leave was imminent:

So I can now exit happily.
2: I made a post telling you to not do that shortly after my first post expressing that I was here and needed time to catch up:

4. If I am scum, I simply don't enter the thread and let you walk out since you were headed that way on your own. Since in that universe, you-rose are the T-T pair, I win immediately, alongside rainbow who doesn't even die at that point since the game is over.AKNIGHT.COOL-
