I would have tried out the playstyle shift with any plist that Datisi was modding after feeling guilty about my last lurktown he watched.

I wouldn't have joined the game at all without the cool plist though
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

I feel like the first hellbooks town post is on page36

Skitter i meant to ask if there was any single post that you skimmed from me this game that even remotely made you laugh or crack a smile because if so then it will all have been worth it but if not then i'll say "understood and sorry" and immediately assume mrs. seriousgames mode and never make a joke again

Once again you hold in your hands the power.. to make the game truly readable
Without embellishment I estimate the odds anything I have ever posted in the history of this website has made skitter crack a smile at about 38% the whiny insincere Eeyore estimate would have been 21%

I think you made me laugh aloud or experience emotional state where it's hard to remember if the diaphragm stuff participates like 2ice. You didn't ask me so this is rude

well the way I'm seeing it is

maybe I'm right and fire/shea r both scum, in which case putting them in coalition and yeeting them both if coalition fails is a win and putting them outside is also a win

maybe i'm wrong and fire/shea are both town, in which case putting them in coalition might cause an auto win which is nice but maybe some scum get in with them and we misyeet them but thats on them for picking scum to go with them.
I'm p sure there's at least a scum in the pair so i don't think i'd support them both getting in

I've been thinking about fire/shea as 0/1/2 scum and I don't think I can be confident declaring like there must be one scum between the two of them, it feels like a 0 or 2 situation to me.

pedit so many pedits >.>
this is a town skitter post more often than not i think

not really any reason for her primary approach here to be to try to change shea's mind here as scum, she could just attack him for it or for other things

i guess it could be to find allies in me and ari but it doesn't really feel like she's tried to do that either

sample-size-this-game that actually seems to me exactly how he plays mafia
this post was also funny which is +town

it might not actually be +town but im giving it points anyway
