On the contrary, this reads like you're worried I'll be conftown when you flip red and you're trying to WIFOM that shit.

it's a stylistic choice of asserting my position on the gamestate. if i'm wrong on either of {MT,bingle} then i'm sitting on top of a house of cards!! i can't fully explain why i decided to do it in the spur of the moment without like, opening my brain to you. mafia requires an extent of faith and i'm going to ultimately need you to do some of your own thinking about my posting here.

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!

Why on earth do you decide this is the most effective way to play as town?
I think having relatively little concern for the 8-ball, as well as not having to share reads, is really conducive to a scum wincon especially when you can use the guise of not wanting scum to game your reads

Yeah, I know that. It's just... the times I've seen players list others as townier than them in their own reads, they flipped scum.
Granted, it was years ago, it just still sits with me because that's my experience that has taught me that scum lets their guilty conscience bleed out in unexpected ways.

pedit: that's understandable and my brain is an organism of sheer chaos. did you like our 1v1 theme anyway?
I love it and my excitement for the 1v1 we're not partaking in has increased tenfold

I don't have little concern for the 8-ball? I'm never going to support killing Bingle, regardless of how I feel about him.

you can have my philosophy on guilt if you'd like, but without trying to blow my own horn too much? i'm too experienced to let that get through as a guilty conscience slip.
genuinely, hit me about anything game-related you want to talk about. i don't get what you want from me, and it kinda feels like you're just trying to justify a read you don't have much confidence on.
Well this is gonna be more annoying than I previously anticipated!!!!!
I agree with you that Bingle is seriously town, worst.
House, your reasoning for scumreading worstie might make more sense on a D1 when there's less to work with, but in this current context I don't think a guilty conscience read is something I'd put much weight in. What do you think about worst's posting last page -- particularly about Bingle and the 1v1 and all that

fwiw scum!me still needs to acknowledge that he's in trouble and either
- tank the 1v1 with Bingle because I'm the 8ball and can venge him.
- divert off the 1v1 into an unrelated 8ball regardless of my partner.
- divert attention off the 1v1 and
So please be super careful about townreading me just over me reevaluating. Just letting you know I'm here to play, and I'm fluid - not tunnelling.
It's true, I suppose from when you joked about me being scum, and also had a Bingle/me/house scumbloc, and also the whole bingle push, I figured you were going to double down and we were gonna fite
i wouldn't say "joke" is quite right. that's more in line with my d1 reads. i realised i wasn't actually confident on bingle a few days ago, realised you were probably town yesterday but it felt more intuitive to commit to the bit until i could actually post a bit, and see how things shook out. did the ISOs properly earlier today.
