What did I not do that you were expecting if I was scum?
you went from not knowing we're voting for king to knowing we're voting for king (and i'm assuming you weren't lying about it, because otherwise the early vote for me doesn't make sense even if you're scum)
now, your reaction to learning that you were wrong about the mech was like, nonexistent. i've noticed that scum-you has like these... overblown reactions to learning mechanics. like in the first mini we played together, where you did the "does the scum have daytalk???" thing;
but much more notably in this post in ktane... i feel like scum-you would've on instinct fallen back into having similar reactions to mech stuff, and you just *didn't* here, so

Btw, Datisi has used such a move as Scum in the past (fake an argument with a Partner, end up TR each other, and moved on swiftly). Datisi may not remember this, but Iconeum and him faked a fight in the early part of a game they were both Scum in, just so that they could end up TR’ing each other and wouldn’t have to fake paranoia about each other later in the game. But Ico and Datisi I had seen be very paranoid of each other (particularly Datisi of Ico) as Town, so I could understand why that play made sense.
I’m assuming such an interaction may not make sense between GL and Datisi, and I actually don’t think GL would have gone for it. They come across as rational and rather controlled. So faking an argument is a difficult ask. For what it’s worth, I thought GL came out looking much Townier after that exchange, and I’m not currently TR’ing Datisi.
(1) i knew you were in the game because i check the playerlists of games i'm in in case anyone i have blacklisted tries to join
(2) of course i remember it... that fight was not fake. i thought he was town; he was a traitor. we never planned to do that, i did that so town-ico wouldn't murder me, but then he turned out to be my traitor. so i immediately stopped fighting him because he was on a sorta bad streak as scum and i didn't wanna make him die lole
why do you find guiltylion to be townie in that exchange?

this is wrong? like, the king can't execute two days in a row, right? even if they scummed it up and outed themselves as scum by exe'ing an obvious town, we just yeet them the next day?
jesus fuck do i hate mechanical arguments
in the andres/ladyld fight on page 13, i like andres much better than ladyld. or like, the way he's arguing feels like he actually believes what he's saying, and also the read on baltar seems perfectly fine to me. the whole argument almost gives a vibe of lld being annoyed that baltar is getting townread for something she percieves he shouldn't be townread for
finished w page 13, posting this now because i see there's 10 billion pedits yaaay
and logically think through stuff!! TSQ is making my think back to my junko read for the moment.. ahhhhhh ok yolo this can only hurt me, but uhhh here's kinda where my reads are
