Welp GG Sorian. I feel like last game and this one he's been too apt to stick with his D1 reads to a fault. My reads are garbo but I at least re-evaluate them as the game goes on.

Yeah, my problem with the way I play is almost the opposite though lol. I tend to think that everybody is scum at the beginning which leads to wishy-washiness before narrowing down my targets.
I think my biggest flaw in creating reads is I try and connect them too much. I'm trying to be better but didn't get much chance to test it this game. I think I always assumed at first that scum teams coordinate more than they always do. Like in DR3 we barely coordinated anything until the final day.
Anyway, yeah I'm thinking of raising the point in the feedback thread about encouraging people to take longer breaks between games. I think its related to a lot of the lethargy in recent times.
Obviously nothing to enforce here, but maybe just airing the feeling of 'hey maybe you should take a little break after a game' could make some reconsider.
Would it be enforced or a suggestion? I've played basically every game lately and haven't really hit a point of not bothering to put in effort (yet at least).

Definitely should be a suggestion, not enforced. Every player's different. Some people can jump from game to game and still put in the effort. I find my limit is about three games (running or playing) before I need a break myself.

I do think one day I would kind of want to try running a game but I'm worried with my work schedule I wouldn't be available as much as I need to be. I also think I probably need to play many more games before I have any semblance of what is and isn't balanced.

Scum team; for the record, I'm stating here that I did NOT suicide on purpose.
I was in a good, manageable position with regards to others' suspicions, had so many plans with regards to Role-claims for us, and despite what I said in the chat regarding my enthusiasm, I was working on a cover and reads megapost over the weekend which I was building-up the deployment of (hence my relative D3 absence, I wasn't absent because I was tired of the game!), hell I even bothered to pick a theme- and Role-relevant LOTR track as the prelude to my eventual return in-thread!
I mean, I know how empty those words may sound after what I just did, but pls don't hate me for the wrong reason, I suggest implausibly self-sacrificial strategies all the time but you know I wouldn't throw a game for no reason like that.
Cannibalize my flip, make the most out of my fuck-up, that's all I can suggest now... and please know that I didn't mean to do it!

ugh
I don't know what's worse, me not realizing I was Bulletproof and breadcrumbing my Role enough for no reason to get myself cornered by the Lyncher who was hunting me in Cthulhu
or my master plan to avoid being killed by both Factions, by openly claiming to everyone that I was scum, scum!Swamped's lost scum partner and thereby useless to scum as even if I was recruited back I promised with my words to be a double-agent for Town's sake, all as my hopeful cover for uninterrupted Power use as I was really the Town Cop in Star Wars
or my Role-claim of being a Lightning Rod Gifter in NX which I crafted to fit in perfectly as an explanation to all the other players' Power uses at that time amd intended to save Town!Burb from a NK with, but which I had to subsequently publicly retract in the game thread with a long-form formal apology to everyone for having claimed it because mod!CzarTim thought it was too devastatingly anti-Town for the game to withstand especially considering I was an Ordinary
or my dual Miller/Tracker claim in Love Boat that went up like a scumtell flare on scum!me & scum!Kawl along with somehow convincing scumteam that not killing anyone was a good idea for scum and also somehow staring the real Town Trackers in the face the Night before they called us out and stomped us both early which caused the downward spiral of scum the whole game and a shameful defeat
