open 914: the coalition (this is completed)

[May]

I read 695 backwards you don't -scum-read Tsawassen individually

[May]

You should coal tsawassen

[May]

All the cool women are coalling Tsawassen. And by all, I mean 50.0% today is about percentages

[May]

I would love to replace the worst with like any of 84 established mafiascum users that couldn't bring that much energy to a scum rep in but then still assign their posts to that person and have a free townread

[May]

In the alternative I could still maybe coalition worst because ceejay wasn't that bad and worst is like somewhat above their average

[May]

Well. It's more than that.


There's some good stuff in there.

Hopefully at least some of it not being my desire to reciprocate town reads
I'm pretty sure some of it is

[the worst]

i meant why u healed me, dummy

I think you might be town

[the worst]

his reaction was to be hesitant on it and then shift his reads in response so that he's now much more confident in tsawwassen being town and i assume no longer wants to exclude them. maybe so that he isn't put in those sorts of awkward positions anymore.

I think you think I thought about your question a fair bit more than I thought about your question

If tsa/tw is a team people are solving for, I think excluding us both is potentially workable but it does increase the pressure to be very accurate and as much as I like to seem confident, I'm rarely *that* accurate

Potentially if you think that is the team, evaluate whether it's worth coalitioning both Tsa and I. This isn't really a suggestion, I don't think it's optimal, but it strikes me as an idea which (1) could win the game, (2) would make a tsa/tw scumteam really nervous.

Unsure if you're solving for tsa/tw or just entertaining the idea but felt worth talking through

[the worst]

Hot take it is a mistake to try to guess the exact team at this point

Fairly strongly agreed, I think my solve isn't experience/Aventurine as a team so much as 1-2 scum in experience/Aventurine and I wonder who im townreading incorrectly.

[the worst]

I think my cynicism results in me rarely having early full team tinfoils and thus not being able to be townread off that since I like to merc scum one at a time. But I get townread in so many other ways. I even understand some of them! That's a lie. I lie as scum.

aha haha

thanks nice to see u too

but valid af

[May]

maybe this is paranoid but I feel like implosion is finding too much comfort zone in a vanity town read on umlautslot.
At a certain point it's more organic to be relieved that maybe you got more info about something that was maybe a mistake on a low volume positive content slot (this is kind of how I feel about cutter B becomes tired person).
A mafia!implosion knows that the side project has become classified as an earnest thing and all focus becomes good focus

I do not hope the universe materializes that _experience demonstrates that the umlaut triple post was in fact townslew and the slot is caolable because coal probably fails anyway.
I am happier if no one can ever fill the slot and gain traction because it has red text and half a team is free.
https://xkcd.com/123/ idk why this feels like a relevant xkcd

The slots aren't really ever scum together though

[the worst]

I think someone who knows ceejay reasonably well should probably be townreading me. his capability for sass is limited as scum, and he is capable of sounding like he's trying but I think he was a little bit more dynamic here than he usually is as scum. I think someone who knows me well but doesn't know ceejay well probably does struggle to reach a cosy townread on my slot.

[May]

HURT: Implosion HEAL: the worst?
I hope implosion just posts something townie and the slot feels like really good occam's razor town again

If I wasn't cooking too hard because it already is

[May]

Hypocrisy is a scumtell (when I do it)

[May]

I think someone who knows ceejay reasonably well

But look at my face

[May]

Oh my post feels ironic when I finish reading the post without responding

[the worst]

I really want to hear from experience because I still want that slot to be viably a coalition member. Honestly Umlaut's flaming out is probably a big part of my getting demotivated - I had a pet townread for the first half of the day, the kind that made me feel like "you know, i feel like i want to hard townread this person off of like 5 early posts and keep that for the whole game, but let's just see how they continue posting, i'm sure they'll keep it up" and then whoops.

I believe this

[the worst]

I feel like swapping implo out for me isn't accurate but there are reasons to swap me in. it's fine.

[the worst]

confession time. Black should be town but has relentlessly scumposted since I replaced in

[May]

I can believe it when implo is scum that's what's messed up
Obviously "townread" but do you follow my logci

[Moros]

It's weird because sometimes I think it's like
A useful thing that is useful in the sense that if the person genuinely believes it and I can try to follow their thought process I could get a better bead on someone as town and that's good

And a useless thing because it's a 2%er
Sometimes people hit 2%ers but a 25%er is so astronomically easier. So so much.

i think there exists another vector on which it useful in this format because a scum team can lose right now if we pull the right sequence of levers.

this makes more sense to me.

Yeah I get where you're coming from. I do think his Umlaut townread is one of his weaker reads and I don't think it's clearing.

I don't really see how I've gotten "maybe more info" about anything. I've gotten no info on that slot since I declared it hard town on like page four because I don't really consider lurking to be alignment-indicative. I consider it to be an annoying information vacuum. Most games I play, I play through PoE, and it's pretty normal for me to get annoyed at slots that I feel aren't doing anything to allow me to possibly take them out of the PoE. The fact that I hard townread the slot earlier is just icing on that.

I have more to say on the game and stuff but in a meeting atm
