Does that mean sheep? Who is it you are saying you want to lim?
Sheep is scummy

i am not sure if an element of my readflip on tris is her readflip on me. usually i am pretty not omgus. and part of me thinks that she wouldn't really need to do that in that position? it feels more like something that could have come as a natural evolution of thought from reading the game, bc im not sure she really would need to suspect me there?

but also it did come like right after the discussion of how she didn't have any scumreads and hadn't really scumread anyone all game and so she probably had to find one on somebody and i guess scum could probably pick me. and also sheep

Sheep is scummy
But you want to eliminate the scummiest, so is he the scummiest?

I'm the scummiest. Frustrated the setup doesn't let me get bussed by my partner to set her up to win f3.

Sheep isthe scummiest besides the car people but a lot of it is least towniest

People sure keep telling me tris is townie but no one has actually told me why besides fire and skitter. Fires points were basically that he liked some posts a little and I kinda agreed with that, but scum players can and do make some townie posts. Skitters point was that tris as scum is not comfortable vibing in real time in the thread.

I kind of thought that it was not as true that tris was vibing really well in real time at the time that point was made but people disagreed so I let it be, but I don't know how anyone can say tris is vibing in real time right now.

I also think it is pretty safe to say that Tris did virtually nothing to find a correct coalition. Not in the sense that she wasn't putting out some of her own coalitions occasionally, but in the sense that she never once tried to work with others to build an actual town core. She never once tries to make the game state change to actually match the coalition she claimed she wanted.

All of her behavior is consistent with a scum player who gets universally town read and wants to maintain that game state. None of it is consistent with a town player who is trying to win the game via their town read status and coalition.

Like you can minimize what I'm saying as "big brain paradigms" if you want but my argument is that tris has played this game in an actively scummy manner and if you want to dispense of that notion you're going to have to come up with a coherent argument for what exactly is so townie about tris' play. I'd say what is scummy about sheeps play but I don't really need you to do that because I kinda agree sheep has been kinda scummy but if you're making the affirmative case that tris is townie show your work or you don't get to make arguments like this.

I think I should get town cred for finding the mental fortitude to post actual solving thoughts in this game after the mets lost to the yankees yesterday.

You're still bothering to follow the Mets? I not only gave up on them this year, I decided that instead of getting my daughter a Mets onesie to counteract the Yankees onesie my brother in law got, I bought her more Star Wars stuff because none of the Star Wars universe is as dark as the season the Mets are having

I went to Shea many a time. I kind of miss the old pee smell of baseball parks in the 90s and early 00s.

One time a security guard at Wrigley didn't throw me out when he caught me drinking whiskey from a water bottle because my name was Shea and he reasoned that I must really want to be at this mets game in Chicago.
