Starry Night [Game Over]

[unwnd]

I don't see why preemptive invites are bad, I've never played this setup and I was treating them kinda like a reverse vote, like instead of wanting the person to die you want them to live instead lol

[Gamma Emerald]

I want a good dance partner for PT posting

Who says I wouldn't use the PT?

[Ankamius]

I'm primarily looking to avoid being a paranoia mislynch late in the game, which I suspect is a reasonable possibility if I start taking a lead role in the game throughout and the game hits a point where there's like... three pairings left. I would like to avoid that scenario.

I also have a tendency to get emotional or have my particular personality quirks either frustrate other people enough to compromise their ability to hunt properly or to shut myself down so that I become useless; I expect that this playerlist is one that this can happen in depending on how the game goes

if there's a high enough possibility of either of these scenarios happening, then it's far better for me to try to

build an endgame townblock to PoE out the game and leave to cement that my solve is town motivated

than to try to push each lynch myself and risk compromising the entire game over it

it's ultimately a decision of practicality over what is better for town in the lategame rather than the present; it's one of the reasons I'm very uneasy with the early townreads I've gotten, because becoming a consensus obvtown read has the downside of me practically being forced to be in that endgame pairing and risk the second scenario happening (unless I'm the designated sacrifice with Kagami for intermission, but I don't believe that's ever optimal unless I'm one of the biggest question mark slots in the game)

I guess my suspicion is that you actually believe this since it's a weird angle to take.

But I wanna push back a little and ask if your experience indicates that the bolded is something that actually works frequently because mine doesn't

I've found that scum tend to have to go to greater lengths to keep their game afloat when they are forced to be proactive than when they are directly pushed to the defensive

[Gamma Emerald]

wonderful

what does scum!oka do

Idk but I can check

[Ankamius]

hi alisae!

r u taking the backseat now because people calling u scum?

what?

[Ankamius]

fire are you high?

[Firebringer]

HURT: ankamius

scum there.

[Gamma Emerald]

That was a funny looking invite post, fb.

I am a funny kind of guy kagami, I thought u knew that.

I have a condition for dancing with shiro that I want shiro to agree to before I send the invite. This game I am planning on forcing myself not to kamikaze like I have done every dance game!!!!! It will be a first. No matter if I scumread shiro. Shiro has to agree also not to kamikaze.

I want to reach endgame phase for one dance game.

If Shiro says no I'm down to try dancing with you again

hi dunn~

Hi

I'm townreading Bitmap and might send an invitation there

what a wild thing to have as your only opinion.

why?

Dunnstral is good at mafia Bitmap is on my lesbo-list.

But I won't steal his answer

[Firebringer]

If Shiro says no I'm down to try dancing with you again

No, you messed up the story in our PT last time and I don't forget.

[Ankamius]

Dance with Firebringer

[Dunnstral]

Hi

what a wild thing to have as your only opinion.

why?

Because they seem genuine in their posting so far, and some people like MariaR are posturing that they are the scummiest person here (I'm not sure if you're townreading them or you have them as light scum with your post)

[unwnd]

Dance with Firebringer

You're both gents

[Ankamius]

so?

[Gamma Emerald]

kagami isn't this like ur third time being the IC in these?
I swear I remember u being IC before.

Kagami paired with the IC once but I don't recall her ever being IC

[Cephrir]

@ank what i mostly meant is that i don't think most players give a flying fuck about deadtown reads even if they're nightkilled (they should, but they don't, and it is hard to account for & weigh against your own opinions)

[Firebringer]

Dance with Firebringer

rejected

[unwnd]

Are gents allowed to dance with other gents? Rules state gents ask ladies and can only dance with them

[Dunnstral]

Plus I liked the look of most of their reads coming from them

Shade on Oversoul, Gamma as town

light scum

i guess im not advanced enough to be sure someone's posturing scum before they flip!

[Gamma Emerald]

Firebringer, you suicided in two previous Dance mafias?
Did you hit scum at least once?

He WAS the scum one of those times. My feelings are still hurt but I'm willing to mend fences

[Ankamius]

well the hope is that my townreads are also on board or there's literally no point in going that route in the first place

[Cephrir]

ok it's a little hard for me to sit here not accepting when there's no one else i want to dance with but i shall continue to resist for now

[Dunnstral]

i guess im not advanced enough to be sure someone's posturing scum before they flip!

I'm not calling Maria scum though, just saying that she's posturing around the idea of leaving Bitmap out either way

[unwnd]

I find your read a bit self-assured dunn and maybe a bit weird coming from you
