Why is "unthought out takes" scum!Isis?
Which alignment do you think I spam the preview button on lmao
I guess I just have a high opinion of your analytical reasoning and generally I associate being off in reasoning with scum because they are sometimes forced to make bad arguments

@shea my issue is that i'm not sure town-tris doesnt just play this way tho
Like is it unideal, yes
But i can see her as town playing like this ...
Read the ISO Isis posted. It's literally night and day
the worst timeline would be if mafia!Isis tried to white knight tris with an ISO and it just made Shea want to kill tris more
This is a thing I'm worried about tbh.
I think on the balance Tris is more likely to flip red than Isis though even not taking that into account.
ok but in the world that scum!isis didn't even read the iso before saying its the same iso doesn't that make tris town because um it would be quite bad to defend your teammate with an iso that doesn't even fit
I think scum isis would a) potentially assume I wouldn't read it. I didnt read the scum game she posted for me earlier and b) might legitimately think it supports her point or at the very least wouldn't be so obviously different

Its like every single point that comes up for tris being scum someone is like welllll if we squint really hard and write out a list of excuses we can ignore that and like well ok but why aren't you doing the same thing for the other side of the question?

Someone: universally townread
Me: Cases them because I think they're incredibly likely to be scum and town-cases sheep who everyone thought was scum because I think he does not have very many viable pairs the way the game was played
Like three people: those points are pretty good
You: Well someone was the easiest miselim because everyone wants to vote them now.

Yes because of my arguments. Your timeline is completely backwards.
I disagree, because, again, I openly said what if it's Tris before you made your arguments. So maybe everyone else but I didn't read your arguments because it would just lead to me confbiasing my own already present read.
I promise you that I didn't care what your opinion on tris was when I decided they were most likely to be scum and more importantly I think your opinion on the matter was closest to the least important in the entire game.

Sheep shea requires me to have put sheep in the coalition and into danger for no benefit whatsoever in the first place.
The argument that I am somehow making this affirmative play to save my scumbuddy when I was the one who put them in that position in the first place is categorically nonsensical.
Like could I do that? Sure. Why the fuck would I though? To make this argument right now? Seems like poor compensation for making it infinitely more likely scum gets limmed today.

its crazy that anyone thinks I am scum this game I'm actually kind of annoyed with myself with how far outside my scum range I've let myself get and now have to incorporate to some degree into my scum game.

i dont know why people say that sheep cant be scum with people in the car. the only coalition he ever vote for that didnt have either himself or both brass and fire was one that he voted for only three minutes.
Assuming by "the car" you mean the people not in the coalition I explained why in some detail. Because it requires him to be pushing aggressively for the day to end with a coalition that he knows kills him. He was not pushing any specific option, he just wanted a coalition for the day to end. In order for him to be scum with someone not in the coalition it would require him to be sitting on the sidelines, taking no actions to not die, while screaming "kill us kill us kill us kill us" over and over again at the top of his lungs.
If you really think that's the scum teams plan to not lose the game I don't know what to tell you.

I mean you can go back and reread that part of the game yourself. Does sheep really seem to you like he's acting like he needs to get either himself or someone else on the coalition or he loses?

I do not see it. Never in a million years.
what does acting like that look like.
I know it doesn't look like posting "lol I'm town" and encouraging people to rush the coalition vote repeatedly when he wasn't on it.
The only person I can possibly see him with is bulge/bh because there were worlds where bh made it in but those worlds were tenuous at best

yeah I thought that through as soon as I asked the question tbh. From your PoV if you agree with me that sheep is not paired with someone not in the coalition there's not much choice for you.

She's still talking to me like she thinks I'm town the whole time which is very different from how she talked to me early day 1 when we were disagreeing. Like drastically different.

I'm a little worried that skitter is just so openly white knighting Tris. I don't think her arguments are any good and I think her arguments that I'm scum in response are even worse.
I am not really sure how scum skitter responds to this kind of pressure on her partner though because it kind of feels like there's good reasons for her to respond in either direction.

It feels like kind of substantively different from Isis defending Tris where she was originally like my read on Tris is melting and then she's like Im not interested in voting Tris today and then it's like I think it's you actually and the progression is just really weird.

Shea why don't you want to normalvote skitter
because I'm waffling. ig I don't really think tris and skitter are scum together and I think one of them is and I am not super confident in my ability to tell which one.

I'm not going to deadsheep you because I know you're wrong about me at the very least and your reasoning for suspecting me is virtually non-existent to boot.
If you have reads you want me to consider if you flip green I'd like you to state them plainly and with full explanation right now.
Also @ari that is technically an answer to my question but I think we both know that's not what I meant.

I kind of think if skitter is mafia the partner is fire but I'm not even sure we'll get a red flip here so I'm going to just nod and pretend I know what I'm doing

Paranoid skitter is benefitting from the lull in the game when she's consensus scum and triskitter is cornered. But if it's triskitter exactly we would get the comeback
I bus her and coast on the cred like six thousand years ago if i'm scum with tris

I mean I don't even think you and tris are partners but its just the tone of your post of "I wouldn't do x as scum" which strikes me as more likely to be coming from scum. As town I don't frequently feel the need to point out what I wouldn't do as scum though I sometimes do it because I need to keep the range balanced and maybe you do something similar but naturally its not a very naturally townie thing to just blurt out.
