this is just the wrong strategy for the setup, and also if you think like this, isn't giving out 2 townreads something scum is more likely to do? I don't think this idea that "focusing on townreads let's scum blend in" is your actual opinion if you're giving out a TR to Appearance for giving 2 TRs early in separated posts. Pretty much everything you've posted so far feels like a performance, and to cap it off with this I just think you're trying to throw a wrench in the coalition phase.In post 46, DragonEater70 wrote: Regardless, I disagree with you about the (implied) idea that we should focus on townreads more than on scumreads. I am of the opinion that it is much easier for scum to fake townreads than scumreads (because the person they are townreading is actually town, most of the time, and they could have good reasons to TR them), and by focusing on townreads we're letting scum blend in much more easily.
In other words, it's very easy to say "I love pizza and I think Klick also loves pizza", and doesn't really lead to any conflict, whereas saying "I think implo secretly loves lasagna" is bound to stir the pot, so to speak.She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

This is not the point I'm making. In 46, you say that we should focus scumreads more than townreads because focusing townreads lets scum blend in. At the same time, you say Appearance is town and so far all he'd done was give out 2 unexplained TRs. If you think scum blends in by focusing on TRs, you don't also think that Appearance is town. You're claiming to have one philosophy on how to play the setup that contradicts your reads.In post 52, DragonEater70 wrote:In post 48, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:

Is there a reason for this in your opinion, or are you just putting it out there "in case" she's TMIing you and not "because you suspect" she's TMIing you? I reread over what Ydrasse posted about you originally and her talk about you with DE, and it seems like it's all been genuineIn post 149, implosion wrote: Wild that less than 3 pages have happened since my last content.
I have mixed feelings about the "implosion is trying to look like town" angle. I both want to say that it's probably a personality/playstyle quirk and that of course I'm going to try to look like town in a setup that is about finding and being found as town (which is I guess every setup that I've played since stepping down as listmod >_>). I don't think the latter is really being fair to the argument but it is just an annoying accusation to have levied when idk, I think I do fundamentally play the game with wanting to appear town in mind as town because I just enjoy the game more when I am found as town, it's probably not even out of thinking it's the best way to win, it's just the way I automatically think about the game.
I think probably something that does exist is being seen there but it's probably something you'd see in pretty much any of my towngames and it's telling that I'm being townread by Ydrasse (who has played with me very recently and also i think a second time semi-recently) and scumread by dragoneater (who i think has never played with me) and deasvail (who i'm pretty sure i've played with but probably not in something like half a decade).Though it is possible Ydrasse is scumShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I'm kind of lost on "rhetorical" sway - is that just like "influence" over the game? I don't really know what rhetorical means outside of a "rhetorical" questionIn post 161, implosion wrote:
The kind of rhetoric of this post is something I feel like I could write an essay about. In the last coalition game I played, I was scum and there was a player (Hero at Heart) who was repeatedly giving similar rhetoric of surety about their coalition (nb: both scum were in it). I think d1 in that game was somewhat easy for me to navigate probably in large part due to that kind of rhetoric, where certain people (myself included) were almost viewed as above scrutiny in a way that felt like it radiated out from Hero's reads. Granted, Hero actually did change his reads plenty of times iirc, but ultimately the town deferred to it with the only real objection coming from me (because i softly wanted my scumbuddy off the coalition).In post 133, DragonEater70 wrote: Alright game solved for realsies
HEAL: Klick, Appearance, Dragon, Elements, DeasVail
Now I just lurk until DV and Klick figure out this is the correct solve and then we just convince two others.
In this case, I think this coalition is massively likely to have scum on it somewhere. And I don't think DragonEater has the same kind of rhetorical sway that Hero did in that game. But it really makes me not like the direction that this day is going right now.
The comment on scumplay is more a continuation of 155 than it is of 156DV wrote:It’s weird to me that you’d use the amount of time since we last played together to question the reliability of my read on you and then make an unsolicited comment on my scumplay (particularly since 5-10 years ago I was probably better known for strong town play than strong scum play).
Are you trying to compare Dragon's sureness in his coalition to this HoH player's sureness? And saying Dragon doesn't have the same influence as HoH had?She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

Generally speaking, I think preflipping under the assumption anyone is scum is actually more fine in this setup than usual because we get sort of a "trial flip" in the coalition phase where partner theories can be put to the test. I think what you've posted here about scum!implo tracks if he is scum - that likely he has a partner amongst {Dragon/Klick/DV/Appearance/Elements}, otherwise, scum!implo is giving up and hoping that town!{Dragon/Klick/DV/Appearance/Elements} are going to second-guess that coalition if he "blesses" it. At the same time, his suggested coalition is like, mostly opposite of yours so I don't think he's trying to get any of you to second-guess it, as his coalition is just going to reinforce the thinking that yours is pure. Like he knows he's mistrusted at this point I think.In post 361, DragonEater70 wrote: HURT: Klick, DeasVail

In post 338, Klick wrote: I think I have 5 town
Weakest of the 5 is probably Ydrasse atp?
Would mean 2 scum in {implosion, Appearance, T3, ssbm_Kyouko}
The question now is, are there any teams in that 4 that have been playing like they're about to lose if this coalition passes
I have been thinking about this...
I'd been thinking that implo, if scum, wasn't looking very concerned about an all-town coalition passing. Yes, he'd been discrediting me, but it feels a bit like a token effort. He doesn't even call me scum properly. If he were losing, I don't think he'd be playing like this.
Look at this post:
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but it almost feels like he KNOWS my coalition will pass and fail, and he's setting up to be able to miseliminate me afterwards. I just don't think scum throws such weak shade when they see a clear trajectory of where the coalition is going, and it's going bad for them.In post 331, implosion wrote: *snip*
If [DragonEater70's] suggested coalition gets passed and fails, I'll probably scrutinize him in more detail but right now it feels like I just don't have a ton of power in the game.
Now before this post I entertained the idea that implosion could be scum with Ydrasse, and that this is why he didn't try too hard to be in the coalition. But as of the last votecount before this post, my coalition was Dragon/Klick/DV/Appearance/Elements. AND, by the time 331 was made, DV had already made 299, where he seemed to be leaning toward a DKVAE coalition as well. So it seems out of place for scum!implo to go "oh well I guess I'd scrutinize DragonEater70 if his coalition fails" if he sees my coalition will most likely pass and he knows that it contains no scum.
I'm hurting Klick and DV specifically because I feel like they are the slots I scrutinized the least, and which have the highest partner equity with implo, out of the ones in my coalition:
I feel this post could be partnered with implosion.In post 340, Klick wrote: Implosion is the player outside coalition most strongly fighting status quo
Implying implosion!scum is with someone outside coalition
If coalition does not pass, implosion's town equity goes up quite a bit
The "maybe Klick" is like a tiny bit +partner distancing wise.In post 313, implosion wrote: this gamestate is pretty demotivating for me. i'm pretty sure any seemingly-likely coalition right now is going to just fail and i'll be able to do things then but oy.
I think my ideal coalition right now would be me/elements/kyouko/ydrasse/(t3 or maybe klick)
Also implo has no stated read on DV anywhere except the "hmm 69 is interesting but I don't know what I think about it". Which never lead to anything (I don't count saying "it could be a post scum made and could mean something about his partner" leading to anything).
So if implo is scum (and I admit I might be tunneled here), I think one of these is his partner.
@Everyone - thoughts?
I think the only reason I'm in his suggested coalition there is you and I have been butting heads but I don't see that as a good reason in this setup - scum are going to want to be distanced 1-on and 1-off, or just get 2 on. From a town!implo POV he should be more wary that you and I could be partnered I think.
Individually I can see DV as scum, I'll take a look if he seems partnered with implo as I look more into DV's reads/stances. I think I might just TR Klick's playstyle, I'd have to read a scumgame or 2 to be sure of that, but I don't have the bandwidth right now.She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I think that's how I'd do it at least
This has been established already
Something about these vibes offIn post 365, Klick wrote: I think by association implosion/DV is a reasonable scumteam
I can see how you read implosion play as setting up for failed coalition, but I don't know whether I'm convinced it's significantly more likely than him just being scum with T3 or Kyouko
I agree with the general logic that if implosion is town then the proposed coalition was probably a fail
But I also think you've presented plenty accurate evidence for myself!town and are paranoid about getting snowed
I'm willing to discuss the concept of DV-sxum but I don't think it's accurate
Maybe it's just the first post discoloring the one that immediately follows it, but when I said "I TR Klick's playstyle" it's because his posting almost always looks like stream-of-consciousness. I just don't really feel like 364 flows the way Klick's posts normally do. I think it's that the line between being "agreeable" and repeatedly saying "I thought that too" isn't there for me. Maybe I'm remembering DV wrong and conflating "I agree" and "I thought that too", but the distinction is that if he agrees with something he isn't taking any credit for the thought. If he "thought that too" he's ingratiating himself.
Also Klick's posts seem to flow together from line break to line break - like a stream of consciousness like I was saying. He posts one thought, line breaks, posts the next, line breaks... etc. "this has been established already" doesn't sound very natural to me. like the wording feels different than Klick usually sounds. Maybe most of the time as either alignment Klick passes of posts as stream-of-consciousness or very point-to-point, but here I think it's not really what he's thinking so it comes out wrong. I could see Klick-DV as a partnership, I could see DV individually scum, I can see Dragon's point that if implo is scum it would be with one of these two

I think I vibe with what Klick sayswhen he's not talking about DVEspecially this:
I think {implo, DV, Klick} is likely to contain both scum, and if I find one more person that doesn't really fit with town I can just heal the other 5. I think scum!Klick would be pretty good at doing what town!Klick would do and by his own admission that's kinda how he plays his scumgame. I guess that's how we all do it, but what I mean is like, scum!Klick is going to have conviction as though he's town whenever actual town leaves a vulnerability, because in his eyes they've done something wrong.In post 430, Klick wrote: I think this is reinforced by the post implosion made earlier where he wished T3 specifically would post more
And yeah, DV makes a good point in 367 - I think that's why Klick's response to it looked natural again when his recent posting about DV did not look right. Because DV does make a good point, so it's natural to point it out in 370:
Anyways what I was getting at above is that T3 might just be that 4th person that doesn't get the heal from me. It's down to T3/Appearance for my last slot right now.In post 370, Klick wrote:

I want to say Appearance is the heal but I don't see anysubstantialexplanations for their reads in their ISO, and he's been questioned on it twice. He just gives low-content answers probably to help preserve the anonymity of the alt if he is town here.
I like 408:
But I'm not convinced this isn't something scum who is doing this exact thing can't post.In post 408, Appearance wrote: ngl i'm starting to worry that scum's plan is not to get into a coalition but to prevent us from forming one.
That said, looking at his actions in heals/hurts leading up to 408, it does seem like he's not doing that thing. As in, heis tryingto form a coalition before deadline.
@Appearance, can you talk me through the reasoning for the changes in your coalition from 342/343/382?She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I wasn't really satisfied with his answer about T3 earlier, and it didn't seem like there was any more to get out of him if I'd kept pressing. If he'd given me a more satisfactory answer at the time I was going to heal him. Recent posting looked good as well when I was catching up, but maybe fakeable ("scum would not try to get into the coalition but would try to not let a coalition pass"). As a whole his ISO leaves me with questions though.In post 448, DragonEater70 wrote: Do you not TR our mystery alt?She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

Like looking at Appearance's ISO (looking at T3s now and seeing him quoting Appearance) I don't really see reasoning for the reads he's put out. Aside from more "naked" reads/heals, I see posts about what scum might be doing, but no conclusions are drawn about who is doing that and therefore who is scum. And I see multiple "I'll read later" kind of posts which generally can be ignored but this is a very slow game so seeing more than one of those kinda bothers meShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

T3 is just lacking though... I get why 14 gets TRed early on in the game but it doesn't go far up from there. When he brings up a point on his own, it seems like it's to do with implosion. He replies with thoughts about others but it seemsT3'sfocus is implo:
He starts with this, which seems reasonable enough. I know some people hesitate to TR groupthink because it's an easy pitfall, but T3 is obvious about hesitating about it.In post 183, T3 wrote:

T3 has done a reread now and despite being 'interested in trying to work out a coalition' the read he does come back with is yet another on implosion. A scumread - conveniently by this point the thread state (DE, Klick, DV) seems to agree implo is scum here

It's lacking in consideration imo as a reason to scumread dragoneater (and it does look like kyouko is scumreading dragoneater).In post 66, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:This is not the point I'm making. In 46, you say that we should focus scumreads more than townreads because focusing townreads lets scum blend in. At the same time, you say Appearance is town and so far all he'd done was give out 2 unexplained TRs. If you think scum blends in by focusing on TRs, you don't also think that Appearance is town. You're claiming to have one philosophy on how to play the setup that contradicts your reads.
This I think is good reasoning. I could see it as a bus, hoping to get pulled into the coalition by agreeing his buddy is scum (but not just 'agreeing' - by 'rereading' and finding a different reason to SR implo it looks less like sheeping). I can see the possibility that T3 is town here and is really just having a hard time finding any TRs, but right now that's what's needed to form a coalition. If he is town he needs to step into gear with that.In post 381, T3 wrote: More specifically I think implosion is experienced enough to know that questionable/reductive reasoning isn't necessarily an indicator of scum and that DE (one of his townreads) is doing the same thingShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I see a lot of reasons why T3 could be scum with implo, but not necessarily anything to make me SR him individually. 14 is towny but past that I'm not convinced by anything, bar maybe 381. 381 is kind of poisoned by the fact that scum!T3 could be bussing Implo though. I want to see a coalition, or townreads, from T3. Or just more detailed reads on people that aren't implosionShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

This post I think is characteristic of what you're describing Klick. DV is being "agreeable" here. He says "I agree" and doesn't state it like it was his original thought.In post 38, DeasVail wrote:
I agree with the general sentiment that T3 is more likely town.In post 36, Klick wrote: Anything in particular speaking to you yet, DV?
that is all i've got right now
This, imo, is different than agreeing. "I think so too", or "I agree" do not make it look like DV had this thought before Appearance posted it. This verbiage makes it seem that DV was thinking thisIn post 68, DeasVail wrote:In post 53, Appearance wrote: tbh i'm scared of scum distancing in this setup.this was actually something I was thinking too.
Was it klick/dragoneater that pinged you as a potential distance as well, or more of a general fear?beforeAppearance posted.
The same language - using the past tense to show he was thinking thisIn post 131, DeasVail wrote:In post 109, DragonEater70 wrote:

he hasn’t posted a lot so i struggle to see how someone can very comfortably make that call i guess. there’s a part of me that thinks he could be playing a clever wolf game based on how he treated you by like… kind of uno carding you. i don’t know how likely this is but i felt it was possible, and if he was doing something like that he’s now got someone in his court without much loss. with what looks like recent history it makes sense to me that he might want to capitalize on that when presented with the chance, etcSo… this was actually my exact thought.
I think I might have been wrong on my read of youbeforeDragon posted it.
I believe this is in reference to 254 (snipped):In post 295, DeasVail wrote: I liked how Elements mentioned having the thought of not wanting to be in the coalitionbecause that's a thought that I had early on as well.
Which I know is unfortunately not necessarily a reason to think someone is town, but something I have been thinking about is how scum would want to position themselves in/out of the coalition etc. It's probably premature to think too much about that but.
~snip~
Again I did not see any indication that DV had thought this yet, and here he is once again saying he thought of this before.In post 254, Elements wrote: I went into this game from a perspective of thinking it would be unlikely we'd get a coalition win so if I wasn't in the coalition that puts me in a position to see a 1/5 and a 1/2 or a 2/5 which I think benefits town to solve.
Now this is also, like the first post, an example of DV being agreeable like Klick says.In post 347, DeasVail wrote:
I feel the same as you re: Ydrasse, T3 and KyoukoIn post 341, Klick wrote: I struggle to get anything conclusive from T3 or Kyouko on this

This one, I'm willing to believe town!DV could have been thinking this before Klick posted 352, given the content of DV's 351 it's not a stretch.In post 353, DeasVail wrote: that was my pet theory too, though I'm not confident in it
When DV is "agreeable", he's always talking to Klick.
When he's mentioned "I thought that too" (or similar past tense verbiage) he was talking to Elements, Dragon, and Appearance.
So uh, maybe he doesn't feel the need to pocket his buddy the same way as Elements/Dragon/AppearanceShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I don't really buy this - that's what prompted 468, I'd been reading your ISO and it didn't seem like a difference between already having an opinion and a more current thought process. I think if you do know DV that well it's possible he's taking advantage of that if you're being truthful in 454, I just don't see evidence of that in your posting and I think it's an excuse to cover for scum!DVIn post 454, Klick wrote: Kyouko you are pointing out the difference between me talking about something I already have an opinion on vs me talking about something that I've just thought about

so yeah 468 shows DV is not "agreeable" in this game, rather he's claiming he's already had the same thoughts that others have had before others posted them, in what I think is a clear but subtle attempt to pocket those "others".She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I have more time for this game now than I did last week - there were several deadlines I had to make, and now this game approaches a deadline and I have/make more time for it.In post 462, Elements wrote:

as a lesser point, she hasn't done any mechanical analysis of the setup either
I be looking too much into it, but I read though this pt from red!kyo and can see this sort of thing going on behind the veil for a red!kyo this game
I also didn't feel that invested because people mostly shot down the main read I had which was that Dragon was being inconsistent early on. I'd sort of resigned myself to playing this game from a "post-failed coalition" standpoint. It's what I did last time I played this setup as well. I butt heads with a SR early on, people didn't listen to me, then out of spite I ended up passing a coalition of 4 TRs plus my all-game SR and we won because I was wrong on my all-game SR.
This morning, I was sitting at the table checking this game on my phone, catching up and gearing up to pull quotes from DV on my PC later to show what I meant in 360, and 361 sort of bolstered my interest in the game. Like yesterday I noticed DV's 353 and I was like "I feel like I keep hearing this from him, that doesn't seem right to me" - that kickstarted my engagement here.
And I haven't done mech here because I've played the setup before a long time ago and I know it (mech spec) doesn't really go anywhere.

I am pretty confident you were intentionally ingratiating yourself to Dragon, Elements, and Appearance. 3 instances of you saying you had the same thought as X before X posted it doesn't seem plausible to me, especially considering how low the activity of this game has been. I think that's plainly scum-motivated. I also need to find 4 people not to heal - you're my top scumread and it looks to me like Klick has a blind spot for you, and behaves a little differently with you, and I think he also lies about behaving differently with you. It also looks like you are treating him at least a little differently than the others because you "agree" with Klick but with others you "already thought" what they posted. Klick has given reasons why I'm seeing his posting around you as different, and has defended your behavior calling you agreeable. I can disprove "agreeable" here but I can see why he would say those things if he's town given his familiarity with you. So I don't know if he's snowed or scum with you, but as long as I need 4 peopleIn post 492, DeasVail wrote:
The “you’re either snowed by DV or are scum with him” part here appears excessively confident in the scumread of me, and actually not showing the critical thought that I would expect of kyouko as town here, who has shown that they are a critical thinker.In post 479, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:

I'd say you're either snowed by DV or are scum with him and playing up the familiarity you have
Me/Klick as a scumteam would possibly explain Klick’s increased motivation compared to other scum games (though even then I wouldn’t count on it), but otherwise we are playing very badly as a scumteam because we are trying to set up a coalition with both of us in it, that we are perceived as responsible for, which would obv fail in that world. If the coalition fails then klick, and especially me, become the natural next targets.notto heal he's down in those 4 as he could be attached to you.
Idk if I've said this but I think scum getting to be 2-0 inside the coalition is the best case scenario for them (short of no coalition passing). I think the default people will assume if a coalition passes but isn't pure, is that 1 scum is in the coalition and 1 is out. And it then follows that it's easier to find 1 scum in 4 (off wagon) than it is to find 1 in 5 (on wagon). If both scum are on wagon, town will waste efforts hunting for the nonexistent scum off the wagon.
I actually think, and I think most would agree, that Dragon is mostly responsible for the proposed coalition that included you and Klick. I don't think Klick/DV is going through many, if any minds before I brought it upShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I feel like this is the 'less bad' choice over T3 - I'm open to change Appearance for Klick if I need for the deadline, but I don't want to include DV.
That makes my coalition (Kyouko, DE, Elements, Ydrasse, Appearance)
I should have time for a full response to 499 today, but I've been more busy than usual with work this morning. I'll need to look at DV's posts about SRing implosion before he "also thought" with Dragon. I know I didnt check specifically at the time of writing, I was just reading his ISO and might not have noticed it preceding that comment. I did check with the Elements one because he said it happened a long time ago so I was more thorough in looking for evidence of that.
I do think I've been clear that I'm accounting for DV and Klick knowing each other well - that's why I'm not sure if I think Klick is actually your partner or just pocketed/snowedShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

theoretically I think Klick's point stands just because scum are going to not want to lim themselves obviously so like, of course you're more likely to hit scum by letting town take the reigns.
Here though we don't lose if we get it wrong, only scum stands to lose if they get it "wrong" by not getting themself or their buddy in, so in the end it doesn't matter all that much what we lock in as long as something gets locked inShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

Kinda sadge
We should be on-wagon until we find 1 scum and go from there. Regardless if you are reading this and were on or off wagon, the odds of finding scum are better on the wagon than off.
First impressions of gob is that he's overplaying the lack of info on replacing in. I remember feeling good about Elements though.
I think the coalition we got was decent for info as it precludes any lower effort teams in (T3, Implo, Elements). Knowing now at least 2 of these 3 are town they'd be kinda lhfShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

What do you mean "vote a coalitionIn post 633, DragonEater70 wrote: I kinda wanna town read gob for his really awful reads but the thing is he has awful reads as both alignments so I dunno
Anyway back to the actual point - I really wanna trust Klick because he risked not being in the coalition and because I somewhat doubt he would have needed to do the whole "sheep dragon" gambit as scum knowing that I didn't really trust him. On the other hand the gambit probably would have been amazing in a Klick/DV world.
Same thing -ish about Ydra, I don't really get why scum her would vote a coalition like that though obviously there is the (tiny) possibility of being scum with Klick or DV sooo

I should note that Hero at Heart is an alt of DragonIn post 161, implosion wrote:
The kind of rhetoric of this post is something I feel like I could write an essay about. In the last coalition game I played, I was scum and there was a player (Hero at Heart) who was repeatedly giving similar rhetoric of surety about their coalition (nb: both scum were in it). I think d1 in that game was somewhat easy for me to navigate probably in large part due to that kind of rhetoric, where certain people (myself included) were almost viewed as above scrutiny in a way that felt like it radiated out from Hero's reads. Granted, Hero actually did change his reads plenty of times iirc, but ultimately the town deferred to it with the only real objection coming from me (because i softly wanted my scumbuddy off the coalition).In post 133, DragonEater70 wrote: Alright game solved for realsies
HEAL: Klick, Appearance, Dragon, Elements, DeasVail
Now I just lurk until DV and Klick figure out this is the correct solve and then we just convince two others.
In this case, I think this coalition is massively likely to have scum on it somewhere. And I don't think DragonEater has the same kind of rhetorical sway that Hero did in that game. But it really makes me not like the direction that this day is going right now.

Ydra voted a coalition that didn't include her and I thought that was pretty clearing, though of course if she was scum with Klick or something it wouldn't be really clearing. Idk I'm still thinking in implosion = scum terms.In post 639, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:

This is too trusting of gob's entranceIn post 660, Appearance wrote: tbh i have opposing views with kyuoko on gob and t3 on dragon.
in that, gob did genuinely feel like he had no idea what was going on and scum might've checked with their buddies first.
and for dragon, he seems to actually have a somewhat good grasp of the game. he changes his reads due to apprehension but i don't know if i'd call that flailing.She/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

idk, Appearance is who I was feeling the least confident in of my 5 prior to switching to Dragon's coalition. I kinda feel like his reads have been a little too easy. I wish DV were in instead of Klick tbh, would make this day a lot easier.

I wasn't thinking about whether it would have passed, I was thinking I really just want to vote DV right now but it doesn't make sense to start outside the coalition since weIn post 673, Appearance wrote: tho the part on dv is weird.
as we wouldn't have known if the other coalition would've passed or not.knowthere's at least 1 scum in the coalition. So those 2 thoughts together = "i wish DV were in the coalition" - "instead of Klick" comes because I associate the two together but DV is the one I individually SR and Klick feels like he could be getting snowed due to his familiarity with DV. So I'd much rather go DV first in a regular mountainous game with no coalition infoShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends

I would think it would seem more like I'm scum with Klick than DV if you're taking this viewpoint that I wanted them both off the coalition because I only wanted 1 scum (myself) on the coalition and wanted to make a show of getting my partner off of it. Especially given I've cased DV much harder and had leniency with Klick, considering that he may be snowed by DV. Also with me wanting to lim DV before Klick, that's like the classic "my partner could be scum with X (X is actually town), but isn't as scummy as X so I want to flip X first" I feel like this is an unlikely conclusion given the evidence, how did you come to it?In post 688, implosion wrote: i think it's best for the game if i just fully don't engage with dragon.
I accept that, it's just the way he's gone about it that's led to how I feel about everything.In post 681, Appearance wrote: tbh it's not that hard to misread u.
imho u are pretty much someone who i'd say is generally hard to read.
Honestly it's also entirely possible that people are just like,activelybad at reading me right now. I was universally townread in coalition, I was pretty widely scumread or at least near the bottom of the pile in Toriel's patience, and now there's this game.
ISOing kyouko. There's something about her play that feels generally similar to her play in Toriel's patience (we were both town, but she did replace in late). I didn't really read her that closely in that game iirc, I think I was mostly relying on a read on her predecessor but looking a little at her play in both games her approach to argumentation and like, the cadence of her making points feels somewhat similar. I don't think it's tangible enough to really be the basis for a read though and I have definitely played with her other times but don't really remember them.
Her wanting both DV and Klick off of the coalition could be a way for her to try for a single scum coalition if she's scum with DV (which I don't think is particularly likely) or Klick (even less likely). Otherwise, if there's already scum on the coalition, her play seems sort of overly earnest for scum who would be fighting to join a coalition that already has scum. That includes the Elements slot even though it wound up off coalition. The only other slot is T3 who she could be scum with. I do like her post (452) on T3 though. I think the conclusion of "he might be scum with implo but is otherwise maybe townish but needs to do more stuff" is sort of an unnecessarily nuanced take for scum to make with either alignment from T3. If T3 is town and she's scum then she's doing this weird tact of tying these two widely scumread town slots together but also not committing to it that I don't think has a lot of utility as scum, and if they're both scum then the whole post is just weirdly conspicuous of a post for scum to make about their scumbuddy in that situation.
I feel like her play as a whole is pretty consistent with town who early on was trying to find bits of the game to stick on to (like the elements heal) and then got more time and started to kick into gear as the game was getting going. I do agree with Dragon that her Appearance vote is bad, it feels somewhat overjustified.
As far as this being overjustified
I was really tired and had a slightly stressful situation at my almost-always-stress-free job yesterday. I felt lost as to what to do because my tired brain just wanted to vote DV, and that's how it came out. There's at least 1 scum on this coalition we need to find before eliminating anyone on the outside.In post 662, ssbm_Kyouko wrote: idk, Appearance is who I was feeling the least confident in of my 5 prior to switching to Dragon's coalition.

I read this and felt like it reminded me of Radio Buzz for a minute - like the tone matches really well and I thought it was scummy, but then I remembered thinking it was scummy in Radio Buzz also and double checked and sure enough that was a town game - I just tend to scumread this kind of post from you because I think I'd seen you AtE over effort levels specifically, as scum, prior to Radio Buzz. But I think there's a distinction to be made and this feels like the town you.In post 692, Ydrasse wrote: i just haven't... felt like posting. i've been procrastinating on doing a lot of things the past few days and this is an unfortunate victim of it.

Like when you're scum it doesn't look as much like AtE even though it makes me feel more AtE'ed, if that makes sense. As town it looks like AtE even though it's not really and it's just how you talk about your feelings. I think what I'm getting at is maybe that you force it a little more as scum but that you're good at it so even though you're fudging it a little it comes off more pure when you're scumShe/Her - limited access on nights and weekends
