"last time I was scum with Firebringer
his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

LavarManos, can you explain if your read on fferylit changed between these two posts and if so what made you change your mind?
I def didn't like her initial couple of posts and I still don't rlly. But I still at least consider the possibility that she's town in which case ur beginning read feels bad.
It looks like ur trying to frame that as a meta thing which I would have no clue about, so if unsubstantiated early townreads is ur thing, then ig that's cool
Outside of myself and ffery, do you have any other scum reads? Of the remaining gentlemen, who do you most want to be left behind?
I just think if your goal is to hero-solve before intermission like you're claiming, you'd want to actually have some input on who should be left behind today?
Honestly not a ton at this exact second, this game is the opposite feels of what I expected but I am here because I have hopes hat eventually I'll start feeling the correct feels.
The little bit of dance phase I get to live for is probably that. I hope. Either way I'm not beholden to anyone because I can just sit back and watch the streams now for data, and my expiration date is already printed on my forehead because i either loverized to mafia (unlikely IMO) or town who is gonna get insta-gibbed as soon as voting opens (more likely IMO) so... yeah.

No, but it does make me think that if she's mafia, her support staff is also the kind that went silent recently, which is pretty much exactly one of {LLD, STD}.
The hurry up and pair then peace out thing seems a little too on the nose to be a scum response to gaining a pairing, but I don't know how many other people subscribe to my state decay theory of the game.

Honestly i can see it,kinda matches with my theory that all the scumz are paired already

Nobody wanted to hear about this but heck I don't care, you get to read it anyways.
In a dance setup, the start is chaos and the end is arranged pairs. The real way to catch people is to see who is working on getting to arrangements (without being desperate) and who is trying to slow that natural process down. In a game with this many "known strong" players, knocking people known to be emotionally easy to "get" is the easiest way to achieve that sort of decay from the norm. And it's a major factor in my ffery town read. Not to say that all of, or even the majority of, the people scum reading her aggressively are scum in and of themselves, but just one or two of them can cause a pile-on like we're seeing now.
I don't recall ever seeing mafia at risk of being unpaired QUITE so detached as these gentlemen, which also points towards "we're stuck leaving out a townie" as a possibility here?

Explicitly within a certain time frame, your posting has been a touch more focused on ffery and otherwise muted but once again this is a very unlikely theory because she (gypyx) is still very likely town so moot point.

honestly i'm going silent kinda cause i'm not really at the best of my mafia playing capabilities rn but also i've got a dance partner i'm happy about and i trust that'll allow me to catch up on that break i'm allowing myself
also like not to WIFOM it too much but remember that as scum i'd be aware that the burden sits on me to keep efforting away

This is easily disproved by a look at my iso
I am chasing enchant and rh9 as well, and providing random thoughts here and there

So i very much agree with the bolded but i'm having a hard time following the jump to where you start talking abt the implications for ffery's alignment

The answer is kinda depressing, STD, but It's actually just that it's LLD I suspect of that but I know that's likely to set off in-thread hurt and now it's gonna happen anyways...
I felt the need to add at least one other name who is good at the game but whose most recent post ITT had also been before hers to prevent that. You fit both criteria.
