tas there's something which doesn't really add up for me. in posts 414 and 420 you seemed to be happy with a coalition that included umlaut, implosion, black, moros and aventurine. you also townread want to include yourself and ceejay. does that mean you think the scum team is exactly myself and may?
What doesn't add up?
well aside from knowing that i'm town, do you feel me and may make sense as a scum team?
I haven't given that much thought! You two were just what I townread the least compared to everyone else
I'm not married to my implosion townread! I thought his early game was on points but he certainly dropped in my evaluation recently. There are grounds to your read on him I'll say.

i'm getting an early night tonight & waking up early tomorrow so i think i'll probably be around a lot more then. where should i focus my efforts?
Hi! Probably look at the current coalition votes (there's a consensus of about 5-6 people) and go from there
implosion feels like he's wielding two swords and poking people in the face with them which feels, like, uncharacteristic but maybe not in a way i'd immediately call scummy. i'll decide later. he called my very friendly greeting scummy though so i'm offended and refuse to townread him. >:(

i asked how i should focus my efforts and you told me to go cold read 5-6 out of 9 players??? : (

Or rather, what’s your thought process behind that idea? I’d like it if Moros could also answer this question.
this feels devoid of a like, certain cognitive load / brain stickiness that I might expect inexperienced mafia in this set-up to have. idk if this user is inexperienced or whatever but this post had positive energy to me so I'm trying to find words that explain why
as of like page 3 or something I like Aventurine, I like Umlaut, and maybe I kind of like implosion a little but I don't wanna give him the satisfaction

I think it's town indicative for black to pushback skepticism on my slot, considering I hyperposted last game. Hyperposting town read scum is kind of a loss condition even more so than failition
This is a really good point and while my first impression of Black's scumread on you was "hn?" and my second impression was that it was eerily close to random, maybe I don't *dis*like it exactly

I don't think Black has so little self-respect that she would seriously try and pretend to believe there were 4 scum in a 9-scum setup.
huh. maybe I don't townread Umlaut all that much. that isn't to say I strongly disagree with this take honestly it just feels very kaleidoscopic.

I’m finding I have this gut feeling about Moros that is generally negative. It’s weird, because I’ve agreed with a lot of the ideas it’s been posting, but I can’t help but feel that there is something wrong here.
also can't help but shake the idea that there's mafia in [Umlaut, moros]

Townreading Black somewhat, but not gonna lie I got a gut feeling that Black vs May might have been some sort of distancing play, so I don't want the coalition to have both of them in it, I'm fine with Black being in it though!
Finding Umlaut townie during Moros vs Black.
Cutter B confuses me the more she posts... is it just me?
Don't have a read on May right now!
This coalition looks good to me right now!
HURT: all HEAL: Black, Moros, Tsawwassen, implosion, Umlaut
I have typed up & deleted so many responses to this. I guess my answer is "ugh maybe". I think this probably isn't pure but perhaps I see the merit in 5 way healing the more active players who are quicker to call issue w each other

the thing that i started to not like about implosion is that i think he seems very logical but some of the axioms that he is starting with in order to derive his reasonings feel too strained to be taken as given.
we reach a point where either his thoughts are coming from a strictly logical place (which is fairly fakeable), or an authentic place which tends to mean his logic is a lil tower built on foundations of speculation & real human thought which is a lot shakier than logic.
I don't feel as though his foundations are structured to fit a narrative, moreso that they're just quite uneven which I think feels quite authentic to me so far
interested to hear how your read has developed & see how my own read develops too I guess

tsawwassen 189 has i will call it unusual logic especially around black and may. but i think the messiness of it feels honest. cutter b seems lost in a town way to me.
I think we're looking for similar things in different places. I haven't really seen any sign that Cutter is paying attention to other people (trying to sort alignments), moreso that she's inward focused (concerned with how people read her alignment).
Trying not to base the game on Cutter being lurking mafia but I think there's pretty decent equity there
