His solve is almost

Prism’s desire to be acquitted was a little skeevy and his reaction to being sussed was to claim joke which while technically valid doesn’t negate what actual tangible game thoughts he displayed with his joke
Ydrasse trying to jump in on the pockit fun felt a little overwrought

it feels like ur trying to frame this more from like, the perspective of validating pooky instead of stuff /you/ believe in even though you're able 2 espouse these reasons
it kinda is?

I was the first player who brought attention to the fact it may not be a straightforward elim.
The specific way I did so was a joke and a reference to the term "trial". What is the "actual tangible game thoughts" you think are at issue here?
If you insist that it is unlikely I connected the word "trial" with "acquittal" except by some form of internalized guilt, can you please cite one of the 6+ scumgames of mine you have seen where I have ever been worried for even for a moment about my ability to dodge a vote?
I think your wish for acquittal was the sign of internalized guilt, not the connection of trial to acquittal
and idk how much you being able to dodge the vote in the past matters, my concept for your thought process was that you thought survival of the trial would somehow make you less killable in the future, and you wanted security down the road.
also I dunno about that "I was the first one to mention it might not be straightforward" thing

What
is
are the "actual tangible game thoughts" you think are at issue here?
To respond to your recent point about "internalized guilt" for wanting a hypothetical trial around me to end in an acquittal anyway, I don't want an answer to this but food for thought: When someone undergoes a trial, what do you think the outcome of the result is for those who are innocent? A guilty verdict? Christ dude.

i get it i remain useless and bad at mafia, it just seemed strange to me that people were advocating to be voted, shrug
I was very frustrated by the persistence in bad reasoning but most of my tilt was actually because of Infinity and Gamma.
Adding to this, while I have come to expect that there will be these random lines of yours that you think it is possible to assemble into a gorgeous track
somehow
and it will appear to me that they obviously never will regardless of configuration, I think you are very valuable as a person, and you definitionally have value as a player. I don't have any judgement on you qualitatively as a player and don't think it would matter even if I did.
I also have lines of thought that I think are beautiful and wind up being awfully invalid knots, and you have some that wind up in fact being quite beautiful.
why did the trial/acquittal thing become so in depth
irl i think it's fine to make an association that these things would be on the minds of people going to real life court but
in a game is there really that much of a burden of guilt that it goes through all of that? it's removed from the reality of like real court big stressful, trial fun in mafia game
(maybe i just dont understand why its still being dwelled upon because it feels like an exceptionally fleeting thing that doesnt help beyond figuring out vague motivations of people but also like. building off of all this is going to be a shaky foundation)

For Gamma it's a thing because we interrogated Gamma about it. It's a bad point but it's not like he's going door to door begging us to buy it.
For ulyana, she believed my train of thought (thinking/joking about trials and acquittals) was less plausible and natural than Pooky's and suggestive that I was informed in some way.
