HEAL: Alchemist, RC most awesomest, NC 39, Gamma Emerald, EspressoPatronum
That’s myself plus the 3 slots I believe to be the strongest slots coming into the game plus Espresso since I liked their entrance.
I think the Coalition should be the 5 strongest/Towniest players not just for the obvious reasons of the D1 wincon but also as a weak investigational tool if it fails - if the Coalition fails we know there’s a deep wolf in a group where we might not otherwise suspect scum to be.

I don’t even know if throwing around lynch votes will be useful until the Coalition is decided on since we can’t lynch before the Coalition is decided.

I promise if it fails I won’t immediately point fingers at your slot because I know how you feel about people lynching you just based on your reputation as a strong scum player.

It’s been a while since I played a game that had nsg in it so I don’t have a recent example, but unless you’ve got an example that shows the meta’s wrong it’s what I’m going with.

I was hoping you'd have a bit more to substantiate the read at this point, as scum!nsg could very easily post more. What's your read on the RC head*?
*Note - I find it hard to read hydras. Is it better practice to split the read by head and consolidate later, or approach the read in a holistic manner from the outset?
12 seemed like a typical TownRC post to me but not definitely.
Most people go by reading individual heads if they knows one of the heads well.

since you seem to have experience with town!RC, what about 145 and 149?

i think it's still good go throw around votes to show who we suspect and intend to lynch after we decide on the coalition, it'll be useful later on as well when we look back at wagons and potential bussing
also we can still pressure scum with votes which is always good

Hectic do you still believe what you said about applying pressure with your votes? Do you think your LUV vote is still good?
yes and probably not, if he's not currently reading the thread
VOTE: Spangled
I have to say you’ve been pinging me this whole game. What makes Spangled a good vote in your eyes? How come you seemingly forgot about voting for anyone else this whole time?
In post 250, Alchemist21 wrote:You’ve asked me exactly one thing and in the very next post Gamma pointed out your question had been answered already.
fair point I guess although you were plenty of capable of expanding on why you didn't have a town read on us and we are close to DL so isn't about time to start sharing your view of the gamestate?

I'll help jumpstart the information requested above. Can you give us more on your Hectic ping? You said he's been pinging you all game but you pointed to two recent developments. Can you tell us some of the early things Hectic did that pinged you?
It was mainly his tone at first. It sounded like he was constructing his posts to sound good; formal is too strong of a word for what his tone was but it didn’t seem casual and relaxed to me. Looking at his completed Newbie game though it seems that’s just the way they post but I still couldn’t shake the vibe and since he was the one who initially advocated for pressure votes it makes me wonder why we haven’t seen much of him actually doing that.
In post 278, EspressoPatronum wrote:Hey Hectic, what's your coalition read on Gamma? If you were to remove him, who would you replace him with?
i think my read is RCMA>Espresso>Spangled>NC 39>Gamma>Clemency/LUV>Alchemist
i know people will question my Alchemist vote, more of a gutread than anything, i'll go looking for actual reasons tomorrow, it's way too late right now
In post 219, Spangled wrote:Gamma, actually, doesn’t really feel the same to me as the last game we were in; tonally they actually feel a bit weirdly different from how I remember them.
Want mr to talk about this, because I can def talk about it and explain what is different
In post 231, Gamma Emerald wrote:Well I was a cop that game and that affected how I played in that game. I'm not here. Like you saw Persivul poking me for bring different, he was right even though he was scum.
Gamma let’s talk about this. If being a Cop changed your tone in that other game why would your tone be similar to your Cop play here when everyone is Vanilla?
In post 186, Hectic wrote:Alchemist: i see, thanks. what do you think of so many people townreading Spangled? do you agree/disagree?
I was actually a little surprised at how many were Townreading them when I checked the VC. They’re null to me.
Do you have any kind of read on me now?
What about Hectic?
You’re still null to me. I don’t trust your self-meta to pin you down as Town. It might help me if you tell me why you think Great is Towny. I don’t want Great in the Coalition and I have a reason for it but I want to hear your reason for including them first.
not a big fan of Gamma randomly trying to apply pressure to me.
Don't like how Alchem is ignoring me as I think that often comes from scum.
And still, dislike Spangled.
but thats too many scum reads. So I'm wrong on 2 of those 4.
HEAL: RC most awesomest, Hectic, EspressoPatronum, NC 39 is a rock-solid coalition but I'm hesitant to add Clemency as some of his posts pinged me earlier.
So basically, who are the other town between Clem, Gamma, Alchem, and Spangled and I guess LUV in case I'm wrong but I don't think I am?
Nancy you can’t read me and Nero you always scum read me. I’m not scum here and I think if I was I would probably be a lot more active and playing like EP.

I can see your points on Great pushing against status quo a bit. However I think there’s too much wifom on their rep-in remarks about Clemency. Clemency doing what even he says he does as scum could be null because real life stuff happens but it certainly shouldn’t be a good sign that he’s Town to anyone. And they might not have hard pushed the idea but they are the one who introduced the idea and it comes off as a bit LAMIST for their slot and there’s just no way I can trust it enough for a Coalition vote.

The more it went on the more it seemed to me that NC 39/Gamma interaction was T/S. Gamma being willing to reconsider makes them look better but at this point I think I’m pretty confident in calling NC 39 Town.
“If Alchemist is Townreading anyone it’s appeasement you guys.”
Fuck outta here with that bs. You’re coming up with any reason to scumread me because you don’t like that I’m scumreading you.
In post 472, Hectic wrote:
if people want me to paint an Alchemist!scum that i don't actually believe, i can do that though
Last line in his post has him saying he’s convincing himself. He’s going OMGUS here.
Also, that was a really Towny post from LUV imo. I don’t agree with his EP read but his defense is in-line with the posts he’s made since his entrance and I think that really is the sentiment disengaged Town would have here.

HEAL: NC 39
Can you talk about this, Alchemist?
You say that NC 39/Gamma is t/s, but then that Gamma is looking better, but then that NC 39 is town? I don’t know about you, but that seems like a contradiction in terms. Am I missing something here?
It did look like Gamma was misrepping NC 39’s posts. I think the fact that Gamma backed off is a good look and could be Town willing to reconsider but it is possible that it was scum backing off because they realized it wasn’t doing anything but making themselves look worse.
And when I said Gamma is looking better I meant better than they were, not better than NC 39.

How are you currently reading GREAT, LUV? Tbf, GREAT hasn’t been online, since Gamma re-evaluation but I definitely thought it strange that LUV completely ignored it.
Great is null but I still don’t trust the wifom of their entrance.

I just made a post saying I’m Townreading LUV.
Yes, I realize. I just don’t understand their read progression on either me or Gamma and why he didn’t comment on his re-evaluation. How familiar are you with his play? The only game I was in with him, he didn’t post too much and repped out early iirc. He did come across as very natural, so I should probably take another look at his ISO.
How familiar am I with LUV’s play? I’ve played with him a few times I don’t have much of an impression of it.

Let’s go; we gotta get it moving.
Why are you putting in all 5 of those names when NSG was trying to figure out which one to exclude? They’re not going to exclude themselves and it’s weird you’re excluding both yourself and the player’s list you’re copying but including a guy you’re not cool with adding. It just doesn’t make sense.

@NSG our coalitions are almost the same except you have Gamma and I have NC 39.
Is there a reason you exclude NC? Any reason I should reconsider on Gamma?
P-edit: So far I’ve only seen the meta that that Gamma is only willing to reconsider as Town but I don’t think that’s very strong meta and given their earlier interactions I would pick NC over Gamma every time unless someone gives a really strong reason to do otherwise.

In post 589, RC most awesomest wrote:something to consider is that nc39's coalition is more different to yours than mine is—and is unlikely, in my opinion, to change very quickly. if you were to heal nc39, you would not necessarily be able to rely on nc39 reciprocating by also sharing your coalition.
gamma, on the other hand, still has an open coalition. (
@gamma
)
basically, even if you consider the two options relatively equal in terms of reads, the quicker path to a compromise is by healing gamma.
-nsg
That first part isn’t true. If you take out Spangled and put in LUV then NC 39’s Coalition is exactly like mine, which means they are also only one away from your Coalition too.

Given how I was out of everyone else’s Coalition until now I would have been Townreading them. In this setup scum have to make sure one of them is in the Coalition, so if I were scum with nobody putting me in their Coalition I would need to help my buddy get in instead. Scumreading them would be a bit counterproductive to that goal.
3 people outside of the Coalition voting for it is a red flag.
HURT: Gamma
HEAL: Alchemist21
huh now this feels like an overreaction considering i said i'm just voting this temporarily in case people think i wouldn't come online in time to vote one through
better to try a coalition than none at all
Alchemist using this as reasoning for trying to slip himself in?
anyway got some time so catchup begins now
I was already in it before people started putting in Gamma.
I took myself out to add Gamma because of deadline.
And it’s simple logic that if 3 people outside the Coalition are ok with it then scum is in the Coalition.
