Make me a death masoning vig again and I'll kill Bessie first every time.

Mak - You played a good game, solid townie behavior and good energy and scum hunting. I think you were totally fine on theBubblez thing. You didn't do anything unreasonable and pressuring people with exaggerated suspicion is a completely ligit and standard practice.

EGW - You basically town so hard that you make it very difficult for yourself as scum. It is what it is and I don't think you should feel guilty about that as scum. I wonder if the thing that makes you so confident as town also makes it so hard for you to fake scum hunt as scum. At it's core, both are due to your difficulty mentally believing two conflicting possibilities at once.

As scum I literally imagine myself as town when reading and see what I would find interesting or suspicious. It requires imagining an alternative world. As town considering two or more possible game solves I also need to imagine alternative worlds. I think if you practice this you will help both issues.

As a first baby step, try not changing anything except when you post a solve say 'my current best guess is x, y, z are the scum team but I may change my mind. " instead of "x,y,z are scum 100%". You don't need to belive you will change your mind but writing the words will help shape your thinking.

Moody - Congrats on the greatest honor of being NKed N1. Thanks for sticking things out, I know some people feel deenegized by losing their vote. A townies greatest asset is their voice. And you made some good calls on who to trust as town.

Wam - What a way to go. You were doing pretty well too. I'll post more thoughts separately about the incident, but I regret taking you out that way. I do think you were a likely yeet D2 but I wish you'd had the chance to talk your way out of it.

Sabrar - As I said in gojoe, the headbutt protocol is real. I'm honored that after being double copped I was still sus enough to block again. You played a great game. Congrats on living to end game as town! We almost got a clean sweep after D1, but you were right to let the cop night results play out.

ahippo - it was fun playing with you again. I still had a lingering suspicion the whole game because I remember you hiding behind a claim in fridge mafia 2. Glad I didn't get burned for not bringing it up.

TehBubblez - Sorry you had a bad game. You'll probably never read this but hope you can find a way to enjoy the game. I promise we will go easier on you next game.

Somitomi - Thanks for subbing in and keeping the game running smoothly and fairly.

Bop - We were ligit vibing all game. I hope to pay with you again. Be warned, I am infamous for having the same level of play as scum.

Bessie - Woof.

Freddino - I was pretty sure you were town, kinda sucks you got the random PoE yeet. You took it with grace which I appreciate.

JC - This goes for Fred as well. Once I got over it I'm glad you stick to your preferred playstyle. We are here to have fun. I won't try to bully either of you into playing differently.

heuristically_alone - Awesome showing man. I would have been sus of bessie D2 so it was good to get her alignment cleared up. And nice shot on madge. Were you influenced at all by my End if D2 sus of her?

Madge - Gotcha.

Laserguy - I'm glad I gave you space. I hope all is well. Take the vow of no rereading with me.

Santygrass - Epic showing man. You really moved the game forward. I have some feedback about some of your read of you are untested in discussing. Thanks for subbing in, it was huge.

All my scum reads I was very unsure on and so I began looking at players I had a null read and Madge flagged the most. Really it was that Miller claim that I thought scum Madge would definitely make.
