In post 2390, pieguyn wrote:my read on LLD is best described as the following: both games I had with her, she was scum, and I thought her play looked town, but I had a voice in the back of my head saying "she's scum, don't try to read her play logically, it won't work... she's scum", and I proceeded to ignore it and write it off as paranoia because every time I tried to see her as scum I could never get any further than that; in PYP6, the furthest I ever got with the read on her was saying I was paranoid of her and putting her as the very last person on my lynch list.
I don't have that feeling about her play here, and after the two games I played with her, this is the first time where I don't have it. I'm well aware this is a really stupid reason to read someone, but there is a reason I don't have any confidence in the read.
I have the exact same problem with reading her as you do. I had a light town lean on her only cos lld loves playing scum and in this game I just get the feeling she isn't having any fun. and I don't have any confidence in that read either.
with Skybird, I mostly just have gut-town on a lot of her posts, and I haven't found anything she's done scummy; whenever people try to explain a scum read on her I mostly just sit there and go "meh". there is also that I believe if Layla is scum, and Mala is scum, Skybird is among the mislynches Layla is aiming for in order to win the game (power bus Mala -> try to leverage it to push a lynch on Skybird and/or LLD).
I can defo see this.
well for one, you sat there calling all of my posts and reads "bad", despite the fact I feel like I've made it clear where my head was at with regard to this game, and you openly claimed you weren't trusting my judgement...
sorry but I really don't! I am not even sure I can trust mine since I lost recent town game. but I CAN trust the process of working together and finding some common ground to come to a consensus.
the tone of your posts suggested to me that you essentially didn't give a shit about anything I was writing because I'm an insane person who only ever picks up on things that aren't alignment-relevant and ignores things that are. I have got this near universally from just about everyone, including people who I actually *like* and used to work well with, especially with the site meta now having drastically changed to a more concise style. I more likely than not am just going to take a mafia break after this game since it takes a lot out of me, so sorry if I jumped to a premature conclusion.
well i am sorry for that, cos I do care about what you write. I DO wanna hear your thoughts. 2 heads are better than 1 and in this case we have 3 if you count me you and ari.
it isn't that, that's just the people on the wagon I feel are most likely scum based on my reads.
kk. well we are synching up there just for different reasons so that is good.

nah. scum don't usually hard defend like that unless it is hippy and I and we only did it cos it was multi-ball and our team was tiny. they do however hard defend a town player for cred tho. so yeah I am keeping in mind the pple who defended me as well as the pple who were trying to get me lynched.
