I haven't really got aisa worked out yet. I think their tone is solid and I think they like you but i feel like I'm waiting for a bit more development. Is there anything itt you can point to that's enforcing that read or like, what % of it is hood related fypov?

Worstie are you okay with us dueling you+Meg?

I don't think you're scum with Meg but think Meg is scum.
i am less amenable to this plan simply because i think yume is town, suspect you are town, and have a low level of confidence on my ability to read megazu when megazu isn't really doing anything.

fine waiting for you to respond to this if you have ~reasons~ but i'd prefer firing on the iguanas then putting the squeeze on megazu aorn

Why is this?
i like to probe conversations but it felt like what was being talked about was more interesting than anything i was likely to produce so i went and did irl things instead

i'm like, quite wary of aisa right now, but i think the way flea aisa and furtive were corresponding was more interesting than me saying "i don't think i trust aisa" so kinda just left it. i think flea is seeing a variation of what i'm nervous about and i think the way furtive is interacting with the thread is proooobably coming from a place of having underdeveloped reads & over-relying on tone but i'm not really sure.

anything in particular motivate you to ask this & do you have a take on the flea/aisa/furtive dynamic?

Gamma is on my radar since posting that but am still struggling to recall anything Ythan has said. Do you have strong reads on the iguanas?

Right now I'm wanting Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys to face off. I feel it could be an interesting situation.

You definitely need some poking at some point, MegA needs to show face and follow through on what they were doing - as does Quaxley. Mastina needs to show up and do what she does.

If it was a free elimination I'd be sat on Aisa right now.

An annoyingly large pool of sus, admittedly, but we have time.
our view of the universe is dead ass the same except that I have rly low interest in fighting the monkeys lol

Wow this is the longest 24 hours I've ever seen
in retrospect, megazu immediately losing their partner then having me rep in and immediately try to torture them might be a minor demotivator mb

My reasons were thinking pairs were lovers and thus killing one killed both and thus we could get two birds one stone by eliminating your pair in basically guaranteeing one scum dead between the two of you, maybe two.
that makes a lot of sense- I figured there was something else behind that request.

Sorry to be (a significant) part of the problem. This game was in a doomed state and I was quite looking forward to throwing some mud at the wall and seeing if any of it stuck.

Had some bad news this week, I'll need to drift back into hiatus. Good to briefly play with some of y'all again before I do. <3
