im kind of extremely scared at having fireisredsir being in ELO
like hellbooks/brass/fire is really just a nightmare blunt rotation of people who could suddenly and rapidly decide to rescind a townread on me
and also just two people who youd expect to NK me over isis
actually no fire kills isis over me surely
even after that comment of "yeah i was just hoping isis would get threadspewed so that she'd get NKed"
if i wasnt mafia id call that post out for being towny as frick
idk im still scared of their solving chops
im getting everyone who hard townread me killed and thats my fault

well ive provided a single reads list in the day 1 of each of the last 3 games and havent had scum outside of the bottom tiers of any of them.
heres another thing i pulled that i think is an extremely good emulation of something id want to do as town: like subtly trying to bring attention about my recent reads successes so that people will think im cool, while also trying to avoid implying that im actually good at the game because i dont want to seem egotistical
now that i think about it i think that would be scummy lol
maybe as town i'd just go like "well i think fire would NK you and i bring this up so that now fire NKs me for the wifom"

it would actually be such a disaster for me if brassherald had to replace out because poppy would come in and instantly solve the game

am i allowed to take any credit for turning this game into the upside world where everyone roleplays as their scumselves or was that all isis or is that just the 2023 meta these days for selfrespecting high wim players
literally getting lightheaded at how scummy this post was LOL

i guess maybe there's a world where skitter at some point was like "okay your majesty hellbooks, my being content to be left out is getting me townread so let's swap places"
they call this theory the "occam's laser"
hoping that the dead PT is going wild for this joke rn

Im sure that some or even most people play their town game in a way that deliberately makes it possible to emulate as scum. Not me. It is such a chore to emulate my town game (joke) (but the joke obscures some deeper truth)
especially when apparently the thing that my meta hinges on is something completely intangible like how sincere my jokes are

bc she's unpocketable and would probably vote me in elo bc it just feels right
obvious brilliancy from fire at completely identifying the exact thing that im afraid of myself. here's hoping that quoting someone in a PT doesnt still notify them
with my newfound knowledge of this term i was thinking about how i would generally always strive to have "zero wim" and then searched up the use of it in this game and came across these posts

hellbooks has posturds a low wim that's postured and shaped like it must be town

but if i was town from the dream why didnt i just share it as soon as i woke up instead of saving id for now when im getting cooked alive out here
You knew it'd be tighter play to share it early on but your WIM is so low you still didn't bother
exhibiting an incredible amoutn of restraint by choosing not to make any quips that reveal that i know what wim means now, because only high wim players would go and search it up the way i did
i was thinking about this thing a lot in the last game where everyone was like "well maybe xof is scum but i wouldn't feel bad about losing a game then" where the emotional impact of a postgame scenario is something that could change what you want to do sometimes, or who you might be willing to overlook in like a "everyone has a similar chance to be scum" scenario. which feels like it corrupts the purity of the game in a cool way (but maybe in a bad or frustrating way sometimes)
like if you have a Big Rival who will like rub it in your face if they snow you, you might naturally want to keep them in check more. maybe thats something that naturally privileges things like sportsmanship, and being a nice person. or just being earnest
but i have yet to see any evidence that people actually do favor those things so maybe not
ok so who the fuck do i even nightkill
major kudos to infinity for creating associative scenarios that activate a perfect minefield around me in which any step i take will blow me up
this is kind of like a seriously difficult problem actually
like i need to find a scenario in which scum wouldn't kill hellbooks today
this likely points to a framing of fire
like, if fire was scum and tris got mislimmed who would he kill, probably isis
i think to make this scenario best i need to somehow continue to express intent that i'd lim infinity over fire and i kind of utterly failed to do that just now
if infinity is scum
is there a world in which they might kill fire
no not at all
if isis is scum, is there a world in which she might kill fire instead of me, yeah that seems possible
a scenario like isis/hellbooks/infinity positions infinity as the decider between one of me and isis and i think i have like a 60-40 of winning that
so i think maybe i have above average chances of winning in infinity/fire and infinity/isis F3s
have you considered that maybe its just me
like maybe it just makes sense that its me and thats the only way that any of this makes sense
and the reason that youre all struggling so much to find the solution is that the truth is so nefarious that you dont even want to accept it, that i just recklessly lasered down skitter for the entirety of D1 with no thought for common decency or human regard as her partner
have you considered that maybe its me and the thought of that would be so horrible that you wouldnt even want to accept that the silly little guy who was making you laugh was scum all along
a post that is simply just too manipulative for me to consider posting
