but I'll probably end up doing again

idk

offhand interesting thought is that hellbooks doesnt feel partnered with anyone except maybe my townreads because of palpably low desire to impact the game

hellbooks/shea isnt a team because that amount of thread control would be ridiculously low when shea is capable of having more thread control as scum but would be choosing not to lol

hellbooks/ari not a team because of established "scum!ari would be playing interestingly weirdly and would likely be with a deepwolf??"

hellbooks/isis not teamy because they seem decent at forum mafia but have basically 0 thread influence

hellbooks/bulge would be really funny for similar reasons

I could see hellbooks/fire tho and maybe hellbooks/tris snowing us makes sense in terms of dynamics lol

idk if this thread influence thing makes sense

2 players that both have thread influence usually aren't scum. Sometimes scumteams just throw and wilt and both players who lack influence are scum. Even I have done this even though I am somehow being accused of being good at mafia

I think Ari, skitter, and hellbooks could have more thread control if they wanted it. I think shea isn't lying about being frustrated about the social graph of this playerlist regardless his alignment so that would reduce his ability to control the thread or at least the wisdom of forcibly doing so.

I wish I rolled scum in the sense it would be cool to experience both timelines but not in the sense that it'd be worth not getting to be town

I think I haven't really played this game in a way that would get certain people to townread me but like that might be an idea I unconsciously decided on to like "balance" things when I expect paradigmatic clashes with the two players who are better than me at slay the spire. The odds they are both scum is 1/56 so 2% of the time this wasnt important

you think scum me thinks a goal I have is to discredit you, a person with no thread presence and no reads and no impact on the game whatsoever so far?

yah ok.
um I do have reads and I'm posting so it seems like you're just making things up.
Ari has kinda flickerparticipated before here and as scum I think she'd justify holding back instead of touting playing

I guess the other thing I'm townbinning is the walls that analyze the dethycoalition stuff cause I think as town she just vibes and as town she does the nerd stuff sometimes

I skimmed couple Isis towngames and the thing I find scummy wasn’t there

which was that there the reads are presented more like “I guess I think bob is scum because this reason,” but here it’s superconfident “bob is town/scum btw.” that felt forced/faked/whatever

I’m just scared that maybe this is too simple

this game is like 90% fluff/vibing, a lot of which happens while i'm at work (and there's like 30 pages in a day and a half)
i'm skimming a lot
Skitter i meant to ask if there was any single post that you skimmed from me this game that even remotely made you laugh or crack a smile because if so then it will all have been worth it but if not then i'll say "understood and sorry" and immediately assume mrs. seriousgames mode and never make a joke again

Once again you hold in your hands the power.. to make the game truly readable

To the person who said that bulge could be scum with anybody (i think fire) i would say sure but also its not as if his iso is an utter information wasteland in fact we have 1) 3-4 scum reads and an ordered list of townreads and 2) his lack of this hot new sorting strategy that has taken the site by storm that people are calling "thread control"

not to get all wuthering heights about it but the bulge's singular and glaring absence from all of this has somehow captivates my mind as if his ghostly absence was speaking louder than any other player in the game. That is all to say ive considered healing him without any attached explanation like maybe 15+ times

Yeah I usually use a lot more reasons instead of throwing reads out as town. I don't like the style of just stating reads with no justification and I think it's kinda bad for the health of the dayplay. I am playing to the scum win condition this game though so mimicking the playstyle that vibe out reads should be a fine way to get townreads though and messing up the dayplay is just gonna shield my homie bulge from getting default limmed before they get their sea legs here

I'm really surprised you took consideration of my meta instead of comparing me to players who do actually have this as a town playstyle but it's only a minor setback I'm still gonna snow
