I feel it in my gut. She's going from mislynch to mislynch and it's exceedingly obvious.
Drixx is a possible buddy. Nero is town.
More coming later...
Gut is worthless. Its only value is that it brings to your conscious attention something that your unconscious mind has picked up. Unless you go find some actual
reason
, then stop with this nonsense. You blew your role on literally nothing. As for being a possible buddy, you really need to go look at Steven Universe. My hydra partner and I suspected Titus from the very start of the game but pretended to trust her and shared useless information with her while we watched. Then we caught her slip (cue Titus showing up to claim it wasn't a slip in 3... 2... 1... {tongue in cheek reference to Nero's game entrance}) and used it to drive her team into the ground. Subtlety is a thing. Please don't make the mistake of assuming I'm so bad at this game as to openly associate myself with scum partners (on the occasions when I draw scum). I talk to Titus because I know her, and I need her to talk to me and interact so I can read her.
A lot of people on site take a shit on Titus all the time, but I've found her play to feature quite a lot of subtlety and I enjoy the challenge of figuring her out. Every game is different.
For example: Scum Titus would almost surely have pounced on me as a mislynch opportunity by now, unless she has become
extremely
wary of me since the last time she was scum in a game with me (Steven Universe). I don't think that's the case, so I have to assume that my approach to getting a read on her is giving me a legitimate reaction. What I see is Titus trying to lead the town but without the full self assurance she usually displays as scum. This could either mean that she's trying to adjust her scum meta out of the rut it has been in, or it could mean she's trying to get better at playing more proactively as town. Oh, and by the way, you totally blew any cred you being Innocent Child gives you with this crap. Nero entered the game, picked and instigated a fight repeatedly, then tried to get everyone to believe that he was pure as the driven snow and did nothing wrong and Titus just attacked him without any reason. There's no reason whatsoever to view that as town behavior or to read him as town, yet you are declaring he's town as if you were a cop or an informed townie or something.
But ... you're not. You're an IC who has showed questionable judgment, at best. It will be a benefit for the town when the scum night kill you, I think.
