Hmmm I'll accept that perhaps I misread it.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

I think that's how I was interpreting it as well.

i don't think skitter is necessarily threadspewed also

its been a while i think since ive seen scum skitter after her being scum in like 3 of the first 4 games i played w her or something

i just feel like she's approached things in the way that she would as town and i don't think that her approach to the coalition forming really makes sense as scum unless she's like partnered with tris and thus has no pressure to do anything in particular

but she could be scum just playing in a different way than i expect idk

I could be getting snowed by skitter but I really felt that she was trying to find the right coalition with me in good faith at the end of the phase.

Like I know this is a me thing that can't necessarily be understood by others but that feeling of being interacted with in good faith feels really hard to fake to me.

personally i don't really feel like that's a great metric for reading people tbh

i think making specific people who you want to feel this way think you're interacting with them in good faith is like a very common thing to fake as mafia, for me at least

Ok, but it's how I feel and I think I'm willing to ignore other possibilities at least until Tris gets flipped.

Sheep was v keen on ending the coalition phase, ans i don't think he does that unless he has a partner who's an obvious-shoe-in for the coalition (i.e. tris or shea)

Shea wanting to compromise on sheep makes me a little wary of that possibility

My tris townread has like melted a bit but tbqh at the same time i don't think town-her plays this any differently. I'm not really sure i'm on board with voting her today

I still don't think it's ari

Isis is becoming scummier ngl

Brass is p townie tbh

Fire i still scumread

Hellbooks' should be nominated for some sort of appropriate scummy but at the same time i'm kinda wondering if she's being opaque on purpose, does anyone know what that post actually, like, means ....

2885 is such a good post
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."

I dunno

lots of parts were very Technically nothing-stances in the way of like "this person could be town or scum" or "hmm this is something to look into" but that seems like just a hellbooks thing

I think I felt like the hellbooks post was unironically a little towny

hard to explain

I think it could be the above waffly-ness described, like, the post achieves nothing in terms of agenda. it just hides a bunch of "hm this is an interesting thought" in a huge wall that most ppl wont process. but I feel like if hellbooks wolf she's not in a great position cuz her partner who's deeper is in the coalition and will get found out for being in the coalition. so she needs to start rolling out some sorta agenda semblance or like having a will to impact the game. if that makes sense

like I guess scum would be conscious of that

but for me that's like the big question on my mind like "who is the scum in the coalition whom I will vote today"

I dont rly make a post without having that dilemma in consideration

footnote six struck me as really truthful and towny but now that I try to post about it its actually 100% postable from the scum win condition with no issues and I guess it's even scummy on average that the post isn't about other things
