but like i think with isis and sheep if i talk to them for long enough they won't want to kill me anymore
it's more like im confident that there's something i can push in the direction of winning the game and maybe it's a boulder up a mountain but at least i know what direction im going
i don't think that works on you. the things that you townread and scumread are mysterious to me, so it would be playing kinda blind and hoping i luckily hit onto one of those key moments or whatever
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?

maybe fire has cottonned on to the fact that theyre like my favorite player ever and i would kind of follow them annoyingly around to all their games
so they're taking a minor L this game as an investment so they can study me as scurry around in the ELO tank so they dont like continue to be scared of me and my epic clown unpredictability in perpetuity
this is yet another one of those posts where im making an argument for fun but i dont really believe in it btw
in particular because i think taking an L in one game in order to be more successful in future games would probably be seen as controversial by some large portion of the playerbase who would see it as like violating some social contract about the sanctity of individual games. and i would not accuse fire of that
fire idk. like maybe you could've pocketed isis but isis has been a ball of chaotic energy this whole game. i felt like you moving towards isis at the same time as me could've been trying to pocket me, but it does seem like a bad strategy to try to pocket the player you've never played with before and just replaced in. nevertheless i did read an "oh whoa what" into 4453
like if you're town here we're confbiasing already and arguing with us probably makes us more entrenched in our opinions. especially when you're like "i would never do this as scum" i think shea is probably right that that is scummy. what would convince us is a good narrative of why hellbooks does what she does as scum this game. and i know that's difficult that's why i'm leaning towards you

there was definitely an "oh whoa what" bc it felt suddenly like you were positioning rather than expressing your natural reads. and id read pretty much everything else you'd done as towny so it was surprising to me, bc it didn't feel like it made sense with the rest of the mindset that i'd seen you expressing. it was jarring, and felt like it broke me out a bit of the worldview i had been in, but also in a way that made me still want to see you as town because it seemed like an unnecessary move if you were scum. but it's possible your read on the gamestate was different than mine
i tend to view towniness/scumminess on a sliding scale, before that point it was hellbooks>tris>fire>isis but then isis suddenly jumped up a few spots. and i needed to make a quick decision
in the moment it did definitely make me doubt my growing townlean and i feel like that's kinda clear from the way i was posting so idk why you don't believe it
