if you all let me live to f3 im literally going to be scum and win in it
final warning
i think this strikes the balance of bringing in some of the town-me energy of the last two proposed posts without getting overly manipulative or scummy or evil with it
I 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.”
probably should have thought a little harder about killing infinity but i kind of just wanted to go v/la this weekend like isis lol and just turn my brain off
it just feels like a hellbooks/isis/fire f3 is too openly advantageous for me
idk how big of a role wifom traditionally plays in f3 NK analysis but like
idk i guess isis plausibly kills infinity too and hopes to recruit me into voting fire but it feels like she would obviously benefit way more from killing me instead
i guess it was just a problem to solve for where a kill needed to strike the balance between leaving me a high chance of winning while also leaving plausible explanations for me not getting killed
and i dont really have the extensive mafia experience for that problem to be easy for me

tbh i do think hellbooks makes that kill more often than infinity does
i was in the middle of making a post in this PT that was like "fire's going to realize that while isis is a terrible kill for infinity to make, it's still viable for me to make"

patient high school tutor voice: ok so we have two people who said they'd kill hellbooks. meanwhile hellbooks would kill isis. and hellbooks is still alive, while isis is not. so what does that mean?
theres like a savings account that's called "equity for how mad and pissed everyone is going to be if hellbooks turned out to be scum and we didn't lim her" and unfortunately i seem to be dumping all of my net worth into it
but of course that also comes with the fact that if i do get limmed everyones going to be equally as relieved about it and because im an empath i will get to vicariously enjoy the town victory where everyone is like "ok thank fuck ing god that all worked out"
i think i need to wait a little bit more before going on the offensive here, but i'll plan on bringing up this post:

id be more likely to keep people like isis/sheep around (and play more to the goals of pocketing them)
hellbooks is an unpredictable enigma and is immune to any tricks id usually pull. i think a consistent pattern in all of my scumgames is not liking to have unpredictable people in endgame
and calling it a bit of a slip because i feel like when you're firescum and in an extremely disadvantageous position, unpredictability is really your best bet in pulling out an unlikely win
regarding the phenomenon of people from the dead pt flooding into the postgame and being like "ok scum was so obvious to me" ok well you were dead. the scum knew you were dead so they were free to make a bunch of posts that would have only been scummy to specifically you. if you were alive they wouldnt have made those posts and you wouldnt have scumread them.
hellbooks, to camera: i just made the scummiest post of all time. i just made a post that was so bad that that everyone will turn to me and throw me into the dumpster and light it on fire.
the game: [proceeds as normal, everyone is calmly chatting with each other]
i think if fire launches an offensive my best move is probably not to fight back and understand that its kind of out of my hands, and rely on infinity making the wrong choice
like any conclusions i could make about firescum can be easily collected by infinity operating without my help

i'll leave it as an optional task for you to convince me that you could win as scum in an isis/infinity/fire F3 but please know that this is extremely optional and if you wanted to get started with the blasting i'd hand you a stack of bullets and guns and say take one pass it down
hearing fire talk about what he would do as scum made me realize that im way too passive
well skitter gave me the A-OK on the "just mess around until ELO" plan so i think its ok that i was passive at least for this game
im just simply getting outskilled here on both sides and theres nothing i can do about it
well its too late to do all the things i could have done about it
im just gonna low wim the rest of this game and return to skitter with my head hung low in apology
