I don't understand how you go from rationalizing it as some sort of distancing play, to your statement that you're okay with having one of the two of them in your coalition but not both. Distancing typically describes something scum do toward other scum. If you rationalized it as "Black might be distancing from May", why would your reaction to this not be "we should omit both Black and May from the coalition"?

I don't really feel viscerally from your posting that the people you put in the coalition are people that you evaluated and came to trust and townread, rather than people that you as scum felt were politically expedient to call town.
It's possible I'm focusing too much on the distancing play comment, I can tend to get caught up on like, what I view as logical missteps. But
In post 189, Tsawwassen wrote: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!
I still just don't understand how the thought process here goes from "might have been a distancing play" to "don't want the coalition to have
I think in the abstract I broadly feel like May's posting is more likely to come from town than from scum and I'm sure I could find examples to justify feeling that way but I don't know how confident I feel in it
It's extra illogical because Black is the one who was behaving inconsistently so if Black v May was actually SvT (counterfactually ofc we are princesses in crime) Black would be the one putting on airs from alignment related issues
I can't really find a scum thought process for that error though? It just didn't really bug me. Lots of people have been very Wrong this game, some of them don't even want to selfcoal

If ceejayvinoya is town I’m fairly certain the scum pair might be Cutter B and Tsawwassen but this has no basis, I was just looking at the current coalitions

My thought process was like, "Black might be trying to distance from May", "but I townread Black independently", "I'm willing to shelve that read", "but it's a cool read let me float it out there anyway". Yes it's a lot of mental gymnastics, but is it necessarily scum indicative?

They were mostly gut reads cause I saw something I liked from their posting. I don't believe in over-justifying townreads, especially that early

This is interesting because it's softly a list of you, me and my townreads; and also because it seems quite the politically infeasible coalition at this moment (granted that Moros is being a bit ambiguous about its read on me, but it did unheal me and is scumreading Black and Umlaut)
Wait! You changed your tune! You said it was quite the politically infeasible coalition before since the people I included in my coalition were scumreading each other.
I originally thought that this sequence was scummy because i thought tas as town should oppose coalitions that don't include him (i know i would). but now i think tas is actually town because it does seem this coalition aligns with his reads and i think he might just be happy to have a coalition that aligns with his reads more or less... but this only makes me want to oppose this coalition even more because if tas and i are town, the chances of this coalition succeeding is very very low. an if he's scum then i was initially right that he is trying to push a coalition with his partner.

tas how do you feel about the following, drastically different coalition?
tired person, black, tas, aventurine, may
You already know the answers to this question, bozo
did you find cutter b actively scummy? because i found her pretty towny before i replaced in
also talk to me about your may scumread and umlaut townread because we seem to diverge there.
