Micro 1075: The Coalition of Imaginary Creatures (Game over)

[Eiralox]

It is what it is. I touched on this in an earlier post. I feel the possibility of you and bingle being aligned is too high.

[Keychain]

HEAL: Not_Mafia
that should put me at um's coalition. I'd also take patch, or Bingle at a push.

@Bingle I know you directed a post at me but I'm not able to properly read and respond atm, just here to get a coalition sorted before we have no time to organise an elimination. Mmay revisit in a few hours if my headache goes away!

Notes: Imaginary creatures have completely fallen by the wayside

[Bingle]

I still think you're town, Bingle, but I don't think I can sell that to anyone who doesn't already believe it. This has a better chance of actually passing.

No worries. I came into this game knowing that me actually being in the coalition was a snowball's chance in hell. Keychain literally invited me over nostalgia about my scumgame and as I mentioned earlier nsg has literally never had a game where she townread me.

It's a little funny to me that eir thinks I'd be partnered with you here, but I can see it from the perspective of someone who has never seen scum me operate.

As far as nsg/Dunn/kame nsg is by far the right choice imo, just from a stance of nightkill likelihood. They're all nullpiles, but that's not really avoidable at this point.

[Bingle]

HEAL: Umlaut, northsidegal, Keychain, Eiralox, N_M

I will compromise patch over Umlaut if such becomes necessary, but I don't have faith that either of these will actually work.

[lilith2013]

northsidegal has been prodded.

[Eiralox]

Bingle, Umlaut and Keychain have now merged. This doesn't lessen my paranoia regarding umlaut/bingle.

Bingle and Umlaut having N_M there after keychain and I have is pretty interesting. Is it natural? I feel keychain's progression on N_M is natural.

I really want to hear what kawaii and dunnstral think.

[Not_Mafia]

What about a Umlaut, northsidegal, patchwork, Eiralox, N_M coalition but we elim Patchwork?

[Keychain]

We have less than four days remaining so at this point I'll take anything that doesn't contain kawaii or dunn to avoid day ending without elimination if coalition fails

[patchwork]

We have less than four days remaining so at this point I'll take anything that doesn't contain kawaii or dunn to avoid day ending without elimination if coalition fails

Seconded

[Eiralox]

I might include dunnstral or umlaut but I have no certainty on those reads.

I might be biased on Bingle.

Keychain/Not_Mafia is an interesting team but it would be pretty blatant, I'm thinking I'll discount it?

I don't know where I should look for scum in my coalition. Perhaps I'm complacent, maybe a fresh perspective will help.

[Umlaut]

I like Keychain for town more than I do patchwork and the coalition including Keychain is already at 3/5. Can we just put this through?

[Eiralox]

I like patchwork.

I really think it's best to hear from northsidegal, dunnstral and kawaiikame.

I barely have a grip on my reads, so I'm very uncomfortable signing off on a coalition in a rush.

With days left hearing others' voices sort of seems wise to me.

[patchwork]

Eira not to pocket you please don’t take this as pocketing but I would follow you to the ends of the fucking earth. Literally your vibes are SO on point. You want me to vote someone? Sure. I’ll even help you scumcase them.

[Dunnstral]

Perhaps we should take advantage of that instead of putting all of our strategy into vibe checks before anybody has been eliminated?

Do you maybe want to weigh in on my partner analysis?

You had a good point about nsg having a lot of possible partners open so I was rethinking that.

I like when you exclude pairs, but I'm not going to look at a hypothetical pair and be able to say that they are the scum team.

[northsidegal]

HEAL: keychain
HEAL: umlaut

off the cuff think my last should be one of nm or patchwork. have not caught up on the game yet, read a tiny bit of last two pages

[northsidegal]

actually i am just fully gonna sheep keychain

HEAL: NM

i realize that like i have dedicated a considerable amoount words to saying that keychain is scum and must never be included in a coalition. to keep it kind of short because i dont have long but i still would like to explain myself, i think that i may have been overcomplicating things. enough people seemed to not only disagree but take it as almost obvious that key was town to warrant re-evaluating my read, and while i haven't had the time to actually give the game the full second read-through that i wanted to have full confidence in this, given the nature of this setup, the need to coalesce, and my own lack of analysis, i think this is the highest EV play

[northsidegal]

if my quick count is correct that puts that coalition at 4 people voting for it, myself, bingle, key, and umlaut

[northsidegal]

No worries. I came into this game knowing that me actually being in the coalition was a snowball's chance in hell. Keychain literally invited me over nostalgia about my scumgame and as I mentioned earlier nsg has literally never had a game where she townread me.

for the record so far i am townreading you by play. your exclusion is mostly just me going with consensus, with a dash of my own paranoia at your pocketing of me (self-admittedly so by you).

not sure if that's super meaningful to you or not, just figured i'd be honest

[lilith2013]

KawaiiKame has been prodded.

[Eiralox]

Eira not to pocket you please don’t take this as pocketing but I would follow you to the ends of the fucking earth. Literally your vibes are SO on point. You want me to vote someone? Sure. I’ll even help you scumcase them.

I don't like how Bingle and Umlaut have been acting. The sudden N_M heal? Bingle EXCLUDING THEMSELF over N_M, Umlaut doing the same?

This rush Umlaut suddenly has for this spesific coalition after Bingle has it?

Both of them reek like having foreknowledge that this coalition fails. Especialy Umlaut, already sharpening teeth for the elim.
And now that nsg is on board, with the pivot on trusting umlaut and keychain......

Of this coalitin fails I'm straight up wagoning Umlaut today. I mean really, I hurt Um and Bingle sorta enters panic mode?

Both Um and Bingle are suddenly onboard with healing Not_Mafia?

Both Bingle and Umlaut are against you, Bingle with one of the most disingenious cases I've seen from them? Literally their case boiled down to focusing on sweet nothings just to make you look bad.

That's the team I'm settling on. They've become way too hasty, appeasing and elusive.

Umlaut should not be in coalition. But he probably will : )

My bet is Not_Mafia adds Umlaut to coaltion here instead of you. I certainly won't.

[Eiralox]

Actually, I think my current POE if this coalition fails is Umlaut>northsidegal.

It would be pretty funny if Bingle and northsidegal are aligned....

Actually, I did hurt umlaut and nsg when bingle had that reaction.... and bingle is so very very sure this coalition fails.....'keeps saying nsg will be nkd I think, setting them up as town....

HURT: northsidegal

HEAL: Dunnstral


This feels better. With four coaltions already locked in Not_Mafia probably coalition hammers though : )

In that case, if it fails(Bingle might have TMI'd that it does) I'llbe casing and pushing both Umlaut and northsidegal.

[Not_Mafia]

I'll wait for a VC then decide what I want to do

[Not_Mafia]

I'm town-reading Umlaut but can see why people don't want him in the coalition

[Umlaut]

I don't like how Bingle and Umlaut have been acting. The sudden N_M heal? Bingle EXCLUDING THEMSELF over N_M, Umlaut doing the same?

This rush Umlaut suddenly has for this spesific coalition after Bingle has it?

Both of them reek like having foreknowledge that this coalition fails. Especialy Umlaut, already sharpening teeth for the elim.
And now that nsg is on board, with the pivot on trusting umlaut and keychain......

I actually think this coalition has a good chance of winning because everyone on it looks pretty town to me, and I have no idea what I will do next if it fails. What do you mean sharpening teeth for the elim?

I'm trying to rush because we are already nearly two days past the point where I would have liked to have a coalition finalized.
