I'm reading you as town. I just think you're confbiasing a bit.

That said, I'm likely to sheep RC if Cass flips scum because no way does scum enter the game power-bussing the way RC came in screaming for cass' head. He's pretty much conftown when she flips red.

Iirc, you seemed to be the one actually driving the game forward.

When you reconsider your reads, you do so through an objective lens, not like Cass who paints someone as scummy as possible to shop for a wagon.

No, and I don't see where you got that was what my post indicated in the slightest.

Like, you actually ask questions about things to rebuild your read. You don't just make a huge scum wall post and put the onus on the other guy to defend against it.

but that's basically the summary of my D1 ISO... am i wrong about that :shifty: ?

on the second point is that just in reference to this conversation we're having or am i forgetting an example of something from D1?

this game is actually like a fever dream i literally cannot remember anything and rereading it and trying to relive it just gives me a headache and i can't focus on it (especially once casielle starts posting walls) so like me rereading the game is going to have to wait a week when i'm actually a functional human being

schadd_ do NOT bring that up oh my god (the cunning manipulator banner)

I don't bus.

It's a stupid tactic that is overused when a little dancing could avoid a scum lynch 99% of the time.
