mod notes

~ this is the setup where i cannot use my vote counter and must count votes by hand, so let me know if i make any mistakes

flavour

[Looker]

looker, you self-healed ostensibly to preserve your exactly four slots, why is four so significant to you? and why was self-healing not something you considered worthwhile in your first post, but then something that you preferred to healing literally anyone else (e.g., t3)?

Also, T3's already at my table

[T3]

HEAL: Galton

Strong gutread from #6.

HEAL: Esther

I saw what others saw with Esther''s seemingly "forced" tone/style, but their immediately copping to it being forced with zero self-consciousness makes that a lot better for me. Take it away and what's left is some good, fairly thoughtful early reads.

I agree with your point about esther.
HEAL: esther, t3, enchant
I also like the tone of post 48, but I've seen scum Enchant make posts like that before. i do get where he comes from when voting esther and it seems genuine so i'll cautiously heal him.

[ProHawk]

Haven't forgotten about the game but also haven't caught up. Will work on it tonight.

[Andante]

I genuinely keep forgetting about this game, umm I don't think I see enough to be confident in any one person being town, so it's weird seeing all the coalition lists, like 5 people have names they're confident are town? feels suspicious to me, so that does make me tr ProHawk and MBot a bit, not enough for me to put them on my list yet, but so far. yes!

[Andante]

looker with 4 people for their list, AND voting to yeet someone feels a tad suspicious to me, like, if we have lots of votes on people, then lock in lists, we'll basically be randomly yeeting. if esther was voting I'd hard sr that, but they're not voting, so it's ok. not too much to go off of right now though

[T3]

hello insomnia my old friend
i forgot to take melatoninf again

[mc esther]

my thoughts on looker are overall kinda complicated, but nah, healing four and voting is just a theory disagreement, not alignment-indicative

forgetting about the game is a weak towntell

unless you're me and you completely disengage with every game halfway through day 1

[MBot]

Been busy but not a lot of conversation to catch up on yet. Prod dodge mostly but I can take the heat. Hey Andante and Prohawk wanna coalition together? The very definition of the word - a temporary alliance of sorts, since it's obviously everyone randomly joining up based on random nothings. That's actually kind of concerning since there is zero actual conversations to have even gut reads. We still have 13 days left. Even those I know, I'm squinty eyed at until given a reason not to be. Would be kool to finally have a win, just saiyan.

prodding Galron.

Ohwow townblock.
Why asking to permission though.

Yes, I like this. More discussion of my RVS please. Hopefully that'll generate some actual content. I feel the more pages we get, the more we'll be able to sort.

[Looker]

I shouldn't post from my phone, it sounds sarcastic when it shouldn't...punk.

[mc esther]

i was gonna wait for galron but

HURT: looker
HEAL: mbot

[mc esther]

enchant seems really obviously town at this point imo, more people should heal enchant

Spoiler:

I don't see what's so obvious about Enchant. I have personal bias influencing me to like them as a player, but I don't think that's really telling of alignment. I think it's because their posting style and grammar/word usage reminds me of a friend of mine. I'm noticing ProHawk and Umlaut aren't in any coalitions.

[Andante]

I don’t see the rush, if we have an agreed list of 5 town, gg. game over. we win

[Andante]

“more people should heal” like um… we don’t even have 100 posts here yet, i’ll be healing people i’m confident are town, and I need more than a few posts from people to tr them, I do like when people are actively trying to get out of rvs. that is a good look! (lol i hate rvs)

[Looker]

I don't think we're going to get that 5. It's so easy to slip quiet scum into coalitions. Dannflor ran a Purgatory game like this a while back - it was very difficult.

edit: I wish more people would vote

Idk i was mafia in previous coalition (for me) and town won at day 1. Mafia almost did nothing and town won. Which i find fair.

enchant seems really obviously town at this point imo, more people should heal enchant

Please tell me what i did, i need it to confirm self as town when i roll maf

[Looker]

Do you think mafia are doing nothing again...?

Spoiler:

[Enchant]

If yes, i suppose we are competent enough to see that.

Just lazyness is probably not pointing.

[Galron]

Just a skim but I agree that enchant is townie

HEAL: enchant

And t3 has a vote on mc esther and a heal there as well?

[ProHawk]

Getting a coalition locked in will give us a step in the right direction for POE.

I didn't realize there was such a rush to lock in a coalition without any data to make my choices.

These two statements seem strange together for me... I think it's because the first statement assumes that there will be scum in the coalition, and that getting a coalition is a priority. The second making the coalition seem not as important?
