i didn't clarify it very well in my catch-up post, but i'm starting to feel that you are town. i think your evaluation of LUV's alignment was solid and well-articulated, and i think my initial evaluation of your play was too harsh. on top of that, your interaction with hectic made me feel like it wasn't likely you were teamed. since hectic is my top scumread, that's another reason why i'm changing my read on you.
we have a pretty good amount of overlap in our coalitions. why should i townread you
-nsg
a better question would be: do you have any reason to think that i'm not town?
While this is definitely better, it kind of concerned me that your read on me was in anyway linked to Hectic. I liked his reaction to being dumped from the coalition but I can understand that’s not enough to justify keeping him in it.
I’m still tr Alchemist but but having no consensus coalition is proscum. @nsg, I want a reason for your 180 because I think removing Alchemist is a mistake but there isn’t enough time left to fight you, so I’ll sheep this.
I swear if anyone wants to remove Espresso, I’m seriously giving up on this game.
HURT: Alchemist
HEAL: Gamma
@nsg, are you ever planning to answer my Hecking question?
How is it that you have a read on everyone else but him?
it's really interesting to me to see you go gung-ho about a coalition that doesn't include you, though. if i'm to continue my spiral of confirmation bias when it comes to your being scum, obviously it would point towards your partner being among one of those people. i think even from a standpoint of not previously scumreading you, an argument could be made that that interpretation makes sense – after all, you were just talking about paranoid you were of everyone. passing a coalition that doesn't include you doesn't seem to me like the actions of someone who only trusts themselves, but that's just me.

I just copied wholesale from that post; I did not have much time and I was just trying to get something going. HURT: Alchemist HEAL: RCMA
I’m paranoid of the people, nsg, but we have to get a coalition through, or we don’t get the informational advantage that even a failed coalition is designed to give us. For goodness’ sake, try to see it from the perspective of town as well as the perspective of scum.

luv, espresso, gamma, alchemist, youaregreat
haven't really put in the effort to read nancy at all this game and it might be too late to do that (or thats just an excuse for me being lazy)
hopefully at most only one scum is in that group or i shall look Foolish
anyways i guess right now i lean towards excluding youaregreat. maybe i should reread alchemist

Look, if you’re cool taking Alch out of there, I can get behind that coalition.
This is the coalition that we’re doing, I think — I am not cool adding Alch in. HURT: EspressoPatronum, NC 39, RC most awesomest, Spangled, YOUAREGREAT HEAL: luv, espresso, gamma, alchemist, youaregreat
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.
Yeah, no, I copied it straight thinking (for whatever reason) that it was nsg’s actual coalition rather than 1-exclude-list. I’m excluding myself because nsg’s force of personality (and reputation, or something) is much greater than mine — a coalition with me in it will not go through while nsg is semi-blindly scumreading me.
@nsg
Could you elaborate on your reasons for scumreading me? It doesn’t have to be toDay; we’re pressed for time, I get that, but at some point could you talk about why you scumread me in great detail.
You and GREAT are both practically chomping at the bit to string up Hecking. I don’t sr Hecking and neither does Espresso. Who else are either of you sr rn?
I mean, you even have a post, trying to determine his buddy - before the dude’s even flipped.
We only get a finite number of mislynches, I read in one of the linked games, that’s 3, that’s why I’m tr Alchemist, he has the correct focus - on coalition > lynching.
You should be far more concerned with the level of towniess of the coalition. What is your opinion on the NC/Espresso/RC/ Gamma/LUV coalition? If you’re tr both GREAT and me, why is it my slot in particular you’d want to switch?

So... you think Hectic will be a mislynch?
I also don’t think that a focus on coalition > lynching is a good reason to tr someone; everyone’s doing that, but that might mean that we miss out on a lynch; a lynch that if we don’t do, we throw away one of our mislynches almost just as much.
I wasn’t going for you in particular, I just think that GREAT’s been really townie (although weirdly less so of late), and I thought that you seemed to be the most negotiable slot to nsg... but it’ll be right; I reckon both of you are probably town, so...

Or even if you don’t want to talk to me about that you could at least try and engage with me rather than levelling of a few sarcastic posts my way and otherwise ignoring me. I do not get why you’re doing this, especially as you’ve admitted you’ve been ‘confbiasing’ toward scum!me.
I’ve been back on forth on Hectic the entire game and wasn’t too happy when Nero added him
to the coalition without consulting me but I read his post post being dumped from the coalition as super townie. While he clearly was unhappy about it, that unhappiness seemed to be more about being sad for not being tr, rather than scum being desperate and survivalistic.
Wrt to GREAT, I honestly don’t know what to make of her. I know I really hated her 1st catchup, the current one was a bit better but meh? I’ve never played this setup past D1 and I recall most of the players in Skitter’s game, completely ignoring the lynch altogether. I’m very frustrated with nsg. She makes reads without ever explaining them, which would be really helpful.
Why did she swap me and Alchemist? I have absolutely no clue. This is probably setup realated since she was a lot more forthcoming in other games she’s been in.

i guess he's just the most null to me.

i'm not trying to be sarcastic towards you, sorry if that's how i'm coming across.
ideally we win today and the whole point is moot. if that doesn't happen i'll try to be a bit more wordy.
