So what happens if I do get invested and end up being eliminated all the same? OK, what happens if I do escape the gallows but we eliminate town still?? Like, would it not be best to eliminate the most suspected people first? If you agree, then it's me or Menalque. If you don't, and you still want me to fight back then I guess I'd put my trust in Titus' VCA and vote Ydrasse. Which would you prefer?In post 1144, Montosh wrote:That's no fun. But seriously. If you are town I see no reason to act like this. So either you're depressed town or scum. You're giving people reasons to lynch you and I know there aren't any jesters here. So I'm not really sure what's going on in your brain right now.

Melanque is not scum. That becomes clear at EoD. The wagon in 1.7 has three people voting Melanque. A50 slot Montosh slot and Ydrasse. None of those are conftown. So yeah a yuck wagon.In post 1146, Montosh wrote:

Ydrasse is particularly telling, and possibly a better vote. He moves from voting Homura to joining a wagon with him. The other option was Mohab, who is the dead scum.
A50, want to vote Ydrasse with me?ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

It is really hard to get invested in the game when almost all of the players I had reads on are now confirmed.It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

I don't like wallow in selfpity A50. Admit you were wrong and move on. Just like Melanque.In post 1152, Almost50 wrote:

...i don't follow how you're analyzing my votes. my vote on homura/a50 was an rvs vote from the beginning of the game, and the time that we shared a wagon i did not join the wagon when he was on it. a50's vote on snowblaze came after mine, and then i moved it to mohab/mae.In post 1153, Titus wrote:

fmpov, a50, it feels kind of like the entire... demotivation is an act? you get your pep back in your step briefly when someone offers you support/an alternative to the pressure on you and then fall back into being like "well, i can't do anything" mentality again until another option perks up.-

Mindmelded on this point in particular:In post 1112, Menalque wrote:What did you like about her last post, Eva? That was one of the ones I think I like less from her
Am also applying it to A50 "I wouldn't confirm Fred" point because unless that is a major hindrance to scum!him (I don't think it is), it's not clearing and instead makes me think he specifically didn't do this so he could make this point.In post 1094, Ydrasse wrote:also i'm gonna be real maybe it's because i'm tired but looking at the talk about what your ~best plan is just feels like a bunch of words i'm supposed to look at and take at face value that you'd do as scum which i'm not doing right now. you can say what you think is the best plan and then just... not do it, lmao.

If you are town, you are part of a big team that just got a lead. Being miseliminated doesn't make you lose, so why are you demotivated?In post 1152, Almost50 wrote:So what happens if I do get invested and end up being eliminated all the same?

I feel pretty good about Raya and probably Montosh. RCE has a lot of things pointing to him being town. Brain says it's wrong to not lynch any of A50/Menalque and Menalque feels kind of townie. Ydrasse and S_S are dropping but they were on the Mohab wagon.
???
I think all things considered (including Titus' VCA) A50 is the best option, but I'm gonna think about it some more.

Can you explain why the VCA says ydrasse or A50 in more depth? I would vote A50 of the two rn but I see you’ve moved over to ydrasseIn post 1137, Titus wrote:
Blame my VCA and that you're working with me to sort which of A50 and Ydrasse are scum.In post 1135, Menalque wrote:A50 — i just can’t fuckin read the monkey. Can’t do it, have tried to do it, my magic “reading people” 8-ball keeps coming up with “scumfuck” regardless. So idk, I’ll vote there if that’s what town wants, but I really can’t give a decent or non-biased read here and so don’t think it’s that helpful for me to be engaging with or around him"we knew everything...

...yeah. I probably do actually need to contribute usefully, but I'm tired and trying to come up with thoughts involves actual effort.
My townread on Ydrasse is based more or less solely on her interactions with me, but the good thing about this setup is that we don't have to worry about her being a deepwolf if she is, we can just catch her partner and win anyway! Unless, as I mentioned earlier, it's Ydrasse/Raya, but I'm not sure I want to go into that when there's plenty of people more likely to be scum.
A50... I'm at the stage where I'm sympathetic but I still think he's scum, so I'm probably just going to end up voting there and feeling terrible about it.
wrt his posts reminding you of mine, Ydrasse: ...I can kind of see where you're coming from, a lot of his posts remind me of how I felt yesterday... but I was also trying to solve (well. Up until it reached the point of needing a flip to get anywhere) whereas... he's given that one townread on RCE and... nothing else...
I'm also okay with wagoning S_S, but if the other confirmed townies prefer A50 I don't mind trusting you.
There we are. I've given thoughts. See, I don't need a wagon to motivate me.-

*Sigh* How many times do I have to explain myself? I am not demotivated because I might be miseliminated. I just don't want toIn post 1165, Eevee wrote:

~Evaeffort and be miseliminated. If I'm going down anyway I'd rather not get too invested (mentally and emotionally). Got it? Effort PLUS miselimination is demotivating. Either WITHOUT the other is fine, and from where I stand it still looks like I'm going to be miseliminated (if not today then tomorrow). However, I am still here, still trying to interact and still trying to do something useful. It's not like I replaced out or stopped responding.

I dunno to respond here except for saying: Use your head, not your feelings. Don't spare me just because you feel sorry for me, and don't feel bad if you do vote me. If my arguments (however scarce they are) are falling on deaf ears then so be it. It's just a game after all.In post 1170, Snowblaze wrote:A50...

FGS, there are already FIVE CONFIRMED townies. What do you want more? Like, of the remaining slots I know I am town and I am telling you RCE is town too, and if you cared to read my posts for comprehension you'd realize I said the ONLY THING I have against Raya is my knowledge of her ability to appear town as scum (which implies I TR her too). That leaves me with 4 players and 3 chances to eliminate one scum out of them.In post 1170, Snowblaze wrote:whereas... he's given that one townread on RCE and... nothing else...
