A "typical" coalition in this setup involves 5 players collectively deciding that they are the coalition, and thus all 5 of those players would vote for themselves. In fact it's technically mathematically impossible to form a coalition without at least one player voting for themself: there are 5 people on the coalition, and 5 people voting for the coalition, and in a player list of 9 people that list must overlap at at least one player.
Wait you're right
That means I'm forced to suffer nominating people that nominated themselves
may i ask what the meaning is behind your heal votes? if you do not townread myself and our friend, s 100% meaningless, which i will call them for short, as their legal name is cumbersome.
I think my gut read on May is making me feel even better about implosion and Moros. Though there's the possibility scum!May included her buddy in the band
Weird. (Looks like you backed out of this quickly though)

Okay, Bertrand.

It's a bit moon-logicky but I find the immediate about-face towny.

And this compromise lies in not nominating yourself? Coalition-making is a different process from voting on coalitions.
This is also something to highlight in this setup; mechanically speaking, HEALs are 100% meaningless unless you heal 5 people. Voting for a coalition of 4 players will never actually mechanically contribute to a coalition forming because the day ends when 5 people have all voted for the same 5 people.
This is not to say we oughtn't vote because it's a good way to telegraph an opinion. But votes don't carry the mechanical weight that they do in a normal game of mafia, where voting for a player is putting them one step closer to being eliminated. Even voting for a full coalition doesn't have the same sort of weight because it own't matter unless 4 other people agree on the
exact
same coalition.
Yikes, I’ll see myself out. I
also
misunderstood the setup, since I didn’t really read it in detail; I assumed we were making coalitions first and then voting on several different coalitions. I guess they’re similar, through.
