flavour

[implosion]

I like gamma's posting spree a fair amount.

The takes from GuiltyLion that I was referring to were generally not finding any of the active posters scummy outside of possibly koba (and the koba part of the take would be the part I'm least sure of).

I hope Art is scum because I feel like I'll never want to put them in a coalition.

[Uncle Shelby]

If Art is town they certainly picked an unfortunate setup to play out their gimmick.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

would it be more unfortunate if they were scum?

[Black Ranger]

Now this is interesting. To be clear, my understanding of calling two players "unaligned" is that they are not S-S, not necessarily that it is S-T. I believe this was Cheeky's intention as well iirc. Anyway, 11 posts later, I said the same thing about Iverson/Cheek, but I've ended up in your coalition, and Cheek ends up with a vote? I'm not sure I understand your process.

I thought it was a pointless post by CheekofGamma and by pointing to the crossvote interaction they were pointing to the players with negative attention.

I thought your post was equally as pointless because it dealt with RQS but there was no real tension between those players. No real decision to be made that could break us out of RVS.

I liked you because you questioned Vulture's experience with the game because I had a negative reaction to vulture's information instead of analysis approach. Knowing whether they were an alt or not is valuable information to solve that slot. I mostly threw you in the coalition to see who would be interested in me doing so.

[implosion]

Uncle Shelby, what are your actual reads right now? You've implied suspicion toward GL and CoG and you've criticized posts from me and Black Ranger (without explicitly implying that they're scummy). As far as I can tell you've not called a single person town, which is something that in my opinion is a useful tool in this setup.

[Uncle Shelby]

For them!

[Black Ranger]

I like Art

HEAL: GuiltyLion

Spicy? Why is it naked though

Eh, at the time I didn’t feel a need to explain it. Only after GL posted some not great things.

[Uncle Shelby]

Thanks Ranger. Ftr I said Iverson and Cheeky were unaligned because Iverson didn't seem to realize Cheeky was part of a hydra when she egoposted.

[implosion]

also a read of two people as "unaligned" in the sense that they're not both scum is going to be correct >96% of the time by random chance so... it's entirely pointless before we have some flips, IMO.

[implosion]

I like Art

As town? If so, why?

Getting to that! Sorry I'm getting a little distracted in the final leg of my catchup. As for not stating many townreads so far, that probably has more to do with my catchup style. Kobalition and Pookyslot are my 2 strongtowns, and Vulture feels pretty towny as well.

[Black Ranger]

I like Art

As town? If so, why?

I want them to know that their work is appreciated so we get more ms paints

Fair. My post was kind of a "note to self for later" because if the game eventually comes down to partner-hunting, I doubt that's something I'd pick up on on a re-read.

[Uncle Shelby]

Cheeky, could you answer 315 if you're still here?

[The Cheek of Gamma]

This set up would mean that at least one scum must be townread to prevent town from winning so I'm a little more concerned about consensus townreads based on not much compared to slots like uncle and black ranger. Particularly those who townread us early on, like Pooky and GL. GL I'm fine with now but there's something fishy going on.

[The Cheek of Gamma]

actually I guess I may be biased by me disliking Coalition's side of their page 1-page 2 back and forth, I can see why the later posts from Cheek aren't especially great if I try to reset

I want to townread GL but this post keeps tripping me up. It's an attempt to pocket Implosion in a way that feels TMI that despite all the evidence to the contrary just makes me keep doubting the locktown read. Like he seems to assume that Implosion is town in a positioning move around his read on us and admits a bias on Koba which doesn't line up with what had happened so far in the thread. The hasty townread and reset doesn't feel natural.

Also GL having Iverson as strong town makes sense tactically if they are SvS because as we can see at least one of the two is in every proposed coalition. This is the tactic I thought most likely during early game discussion.
