don't feel all that sunk-costy, i feel pretty justified! you had an insanely unlucky towngame, would never have looked all that towny on a reread and would've made yourself a lot harder to lim the closer to f3 we got. actually i did a tonne of work on the last phase as well i just felt less compelled to be like, extremely convincing.

i think you're miscalibrated right now. maybe you've played too much with clever people. the reasons to scumread dragons became your reasons to townread him. it was a straightforward game and there should be a measure inside you to understand gamestate, and not just read individual players.- DkKoba

hmm if i flip my reasons around, i think i still need you flipped before i'm comfortable dying & seeing the game approach its end. especially with 3 flips left. i talked about it a bit in the last part of my case, if we lived in another universe where it went bob=>gera=>f3 of [you, dragons, ckd] for example i think that's almost impossible to solve.In post 2328, humaneatingmonkey wrote:

when you laid down a novella with chapters on why I'm scum, that's when i knew i just had to hunker down and surrender because there was no getting through to you after that (even now you're tunneled on me)
bro but i wasn't scum. i think this is a game where there's a strong case for town!me but because i have a reputation of being "good" (i'm really not that good, i just like playing it up), i'm doomed to be always a miselim because i'm not good enough to have a reputation of being good.In post 2334, the worst wrote: if you were scum, town wouldn't have kept momentum!- geraintm

The number of times that I've heard "Shea hasn't done a single thing that makes me think he's scum but I can't town bin him because he has a strong scum game" this year has been infuriating lol.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner- Klick

I felt quite bad for leaving this, especially after seeing Greeting replaced out at the same time. I thought it'd be alright but things shook up at my job substantially and I got very busy. Thanks for taking it as far as you did scumteam subs.- humaneatingmonkey

Responding to both of you, coming from someone who doesn't have that strong of a scum game, so take it with a pinch of saltIn post 2338, Thestatusquo wrote:

I feel like defining what exactly it is that makes you town and making it clear to the others in the game is an important skill as town
When you're town you're in a unique position to know your range and limits, what you're capable of in the game and what you have done that you wouldn't have done as the baddies. Capitalise on it and make it clear enough what the differences are that it can be followed by the thread at large
That being said I think HEM was very good in this game even despite the miselim

having people be lazy around solving you solely for the fact of being good at not being polarized is never fun bc not being polarized is good for the meta. good scumplay isnt perfect, it just blurs the line between town meta and scum meta well while manipulating well.- the worst

Hmm I scumread HEM because he looked aligned with scum. I felt the need to give him very little space because he has a good scumgame. Being hesitant to townread people because they have a good scumgame is pretty fallacious, I hope I'm above that. I've been policied before for being perceived as being good at scum (i hope dkkoba is still watching to find this funny) and it's like, beyond a vibe kill.
Ah well I've explained my HEM read. It was wrong, and I wish I'd allocated my time more widely, but I don't regret it.
Hope you're doing okay.In post 2343, Greeting wrote: Congratulations to town! Sadly, I had to replace out due to work-related issues.

i felt that the mason finder is a role that didn't give any hard EV points for town, but it could potentially help town, while not actually being confirmable and sounding kinda like a scummy claim tooI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- humaneatingmonkey

i mean worstie it happens to all of us, even happens to me so it's funny to see someone else make the same decisions that you would have and having an insight on why he makes those mistakes from the other side
it's just what happens when you play a deception/detection psychosocial game. we're gonna be humans - humaneatingmonkey
