Not sure I buy this is a slip but it's better than anything I got and cakez's response is weird and looks like a lie-

i don't really understand the luke/morph thing
Luke repeatedly said "yeah im gonna back off i don't want to pursue this further right now"
but morph was still like "OMG i don't want to keep talking about this lay off!1"-

We had a really rough game where scums plan was to just blend in to the town and let them eat themselves alive and it is not best revisited-

I took a little exception to your post about lack of pressure, and I think neuterhalf probably did so too/more. I feel like we've applied a TON of pressure to at least one slot.
Votes are pressure, but they're not the only kind of pressure.-

I feel like it's an accurate observation about spiffeh's concern with our read/reaction.
I also think spiffeh is almost as sensitive to scumreads as you are, and almost as driven to achieve UTR.
What are your thoughts?-

I think that read feels like an easy way to call towb scummy but leave room to backtrack. My immediate reaction was the two are unaligned.-

I don't think we've done a very good job building pressure on anyone this game
Firebringer was the closest thing to real pressure but even that was kinda fake
This is all by memory, which I shouldn't be depending on given how many holes my memory has atm. I should go back and look more closely, given the player overlap.-

wrong tab above. I decided not to post that but Dannflor changed my mind with his comment about neuterhalf's self-imposed time-out.

maybe so. she touched right on part of what bugged me about spiffeh especially after our read 180'd.
spiffeh townread me in a dance game where basically ALL of town were scumreading me. The only players besides Spiffeh that I recall offhand expressing townreads were scum. I eventually got paranoid of himbecausehe townread me.
skitter was in that game, town, and scumread me all the way to my flip, iirc. firebringer, too. fireisredsir, three. STD four, BELL!!??!! five.
This game dynamic is very, very different. I'm not trying to draw parallels. but it's probably weighing on me in small ways even so.
I'm still mostly reading the ydra head here. It makes sense for town-skitter to be more cautious about reading me here. It probably makes sense for scum-skitter to play it noncommital, too.-

Don't think I really agree, at least as far as what I expect from the kind of player I think she is. Taking a 'woe is me' approach certainly seems like something that could be in her scum wheelhouse.-

I was wrong about fireisred. She was scumreading me through most the first day before all the pairs were formed, but her last couple of posts about me were expressing a townlean.In post 2609, morph the cat wrote: skitter was in that game, town, and scumread me all the way to my flip, iirc. firebringer, too. fireisredsir, three. STD four, BELL!!??!! five.
I was out of the game IMMEDIATELY after all the pairings. Scum-Cabd-partner left the dance instantly to cut off my reads-development, since I was going to leave the dance, myself, once I did have more developed reads.
Town-Gypyx was also in the game, but never really stated an opinion of my alignment.-

So I think this kind of breaks down if there's a traitor in there, so i'm having a hard time seeing forming associative based reads on the hoodIn post 2517, Lukewarm wrote:

I think scum have a VERY hard time making that "realization" seem genuine and natural like they did. This coupled with the immediate transition into town locking certain players for their reactions to it (most of which I agreed with) felt very pro-Town.In post 1909, marcistar wrote: But im still slughtly confused
That big post seems like discrediting morphs thoughts without actually pushing them.
Was the dephy stuff really such a shining star?
I also liked them harping on Pooky for not understanding and them ultimately coming around to a Pooky townread based on his response.
I know ffery says I am overstating the mindmeld but the above is what sold me.
Which then garnered both cabd and marci town reads by both town!ffery and town!Notty.
If anyone could pull exactly what you are describing it would be cabd (he has done it before)
That is part of the reason why I think that a scum!morph puts scum!marci back on the table.
But all that being said, the overall reaction to my points leaves me feeling like falling back and letting them lead for the day is the right path.
I do think marci is a lot more likely to be town in traitor-hood world thob
I'm kinda going back and forth on how I feel abt marci
