I'm gonna be honest I don't think sheeshea makes very much sense for both the reasons you've given and some others you haven't but sheeshea looks like a goofy limmerick word so I wanted to post it lol
This will just switch you to like scumreading the way I don't take the game seriously (or thinking I'm scum trying to do free pivots between stances I might get scumread for) but it's true.

Sheep pairs better with skitter but sheep also works well in 1-1 splits. I think maybe you had some thesis about sheep never being in a 1-1 split but I forgot how it worked my mind is a sieve

Can you see me playing as town like this though? I'm usually such a beacon of pro town influence and I'm ballast this game. I think i am the sucm

Something I feel fascinated about this particular game is that like sometimes I disagree with several of shea's reads in a row (including the one on me I 100% know to be wrong even if he shows his work well. But I have so many posts to correct his view off) and then after disagreeing I'm like "is seeing the same posts as me and making the wrong call scum indicative?" And on average I think it is something that kinda can be but Shea said he has bad reads as town in most games which I will take at face value so I feel encouraged now to to double into that kind of logic (which is probably not good logic to think about most games most of the time since the difference between great players and and bad players is probably single digit % right)

This is a thing I'm worried about tbh.

I think on the balance Tris is more likely to flip red than Isis though even not taking that into account.

I think in the worst of worlds it's just skitter+isis twiddling their fingers and waiting for shea to kill tris but I did say I would let shea cook.

I guess I just have a high opinion of your analytical reasoning and generally I associate being off in reasoning with scum because they are sometimes forced to make bad arguments

ok but in the world that scum!isis didn't even read the iso before saying its the same iso doesn't that make tris town because um it would be quite bad to defend your teammate with an iso that doesn't even fit

I think scum isis would a) potentially assume I wouldn't read it. I didnt read the scum game she posted for me earlier and b) might legitimately think it supports her point or at the very least wouldn't be so obviously different

I wish I was scum. I guess if you are town you will probably be disappointed after flips
