And, if I were scum, I would have long since gone into antispew/WIFOM mode. Not that what I'm doing now couldn't be that, but I wouldn't necessarily be trying harder to live because I would have already given up on living in the long term.
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!

Not sure what it means but honestly I think it DOES point to maybe S-S
LAMIST, distancing from S_S without doing anything to push the elimination forward on either Menalque or S_S
You are truly staggeringly bad at mafia
I think this goes against your character you portray when you say not to be ableist or whatever against people's intelligence. I think there's a motivation here to get me to doubt in my ability which is believable from Town!shea but seems to be a little bit too defensive and on the nose considering real Town!Shea is under no real pressure of losing the game here if I push his slot.
As either alignment I think I would find you pushing me annoying and not much more because I think your scum finding methods are not better than random chance and I don't particularly feel like its worthwhile to do anything to them besides just dismiss them off hand.
In post 6774, Thestatusquo wrote:Like I feel very strongly that if I were scum here I would not care about you pushing me at all except in the sense that it makes the thread kind of unpleasant to read.
I believe this is a good example of "taking a lot of words to say absolutely nothing."
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.

You don't remember me saying that I was excited to have someone in that slot I could actually read?

I did a whole analysis of why I can't read obscure, and scum-skitter simply cannot be detected in the amount of time she spent here.

for the record I do think skitter's push on me was bad

saying scamper diidn't "merit" a vote on like the first 10 pages, and then the way she acted surprised that I was harping on FB jokevoting being scummy

she should be familiar enough with me to know that's just how I play. I also think we constantly lock horns in every game so if scum she may have felt pressured to artificially emulate that to some degree

I guess my thought is just...you don't usually do this as town, do you? I seem to remember you being pretty resistant to changing how you're playing in order to get townread before. In fact, I remember you say this game that it leads to you getting miselimmed.

wow would you look at that another prod range for this slot who would've seen that coming not me ahahaha totally not me
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

I get more and more desperate the more pressure I'm under. It can get me mislimmed, but if I'm already getting mislimmed, I've got nothing to lose.

Is it? I feel like its pretty normal to pick up on someone asking someone for something and not you when you did roughly the same thing?

I'm missing all the context here without going back and rereading but I wouldn't consider this partnery in a vacuum.

I think the dynamic that's emerging in this game is that S_S and Shea are unable to communicate to each other directly but have "found" each other as traitor and groupscum, and have reached a state emotionally where they've already accepted they're likely to lose the game and are enjoying playing scum together and posting in the thread messing with the Town.

@Dats


Am I tinfoiling here or is that a logical deduction, considering you probably have more insight into how scum approach survival in tough games like this than I do?

It's more so based on the fact that Shea is
really
persistent about voting fire and it reminded me of my scum play from that large normal where I kept pushing Yeet and VP nonsensically to rile up the Town.

i mean, shea can theoretically be scum independently

i just don't get any ~vibe feelsies~ about him/s_s having a mental connection or whatever the fuck it is

i think his play here makes sense as scum most if mena and s_s are both town

but i don't wanna think about that scenario right now
