The late heals are appreciated esp if you're town tp but I think the whole "low starting bid" approach to negotiating is kind of part and parcel with the original complaint. It's just transparency into the inner workings of the thing I think you'd do more often as scum than town
Not that you're a "never reevaluate until schadd says what you were" slot or anything but.

[implosion]

ftr i slightly scumread implosion and umlaut and undecided about moros. i will make my cases later today.

I will note that I think me + Umlaut is like, a *wildly* unviable scum pairing in this game, if that is the implication (which it doesn't have to be). I think I would basically never play this setup in the manner of be scum -> get somewhat townread -> call my scumbuddy super duper hard town out of nowhere and advocate a coalition core including both of us. Having exactly 1 scum on coalition is ideal for scum and in one of my recent coalition games I sort of went out of my way to not have to advocate for including both of us.

[May]

I will be somewhat less available today and tomorrow but may still be able to post

[implosion]

deadline creeping up.

replacements blah.

[Tsawwassen]

This weekend is bad for me. Won't have much time until Monday

[schadd_]

the deadline will be at least 72 hours after the last replacement fills

[Black]

I'm here just also busy for the weekend

[May]

I won't be able to spend a full minute on the game

I could sub in aventurine to one of my slots to compromise

[Black]

HURT: Tsawwassen
HEAL: May

[Tsawwassen]

the deadline will be at least 72 hours after the last replacement fills

I can procrastinate more. This is most excellent

[Tsawwassen]

Reading back on tired person's ISO, it wasn't as scummy as I originally thought, so I might've given him less credit than he deserves.

But his approach felt a little blunt to me for someone who replaced in - I expected to see a "settling in" period from him, but that element was missing. So I felt like he was coming in with a more informed view on the gamestate than anticipated.

I'm not ready to call that slot town though for the fuzzy logic of townreading Black because she wants to be townread and townreading May for the opposite.

[Moros]

i am feeling worried about the consensus and the complacency more and more but i think i need to remember that the two people i think are most likely to be scum are absent.

[Tsawwassen]

I thought ceejayvinoya was pretty townie

[Moros]

why?

[Tsawwassen]

Mostly by tone. I get a sense of clarity reading his posts; the opposite of what I normally associate with scum posting with no substance.

I also it's pretty hard to fake this tone as scum and would be surprised if he is capable of it

[Black]

We have 17 hours to come up with 5 of the same list

[Black]

Wait we've been trying to replace ceejay and Umlaut for a hot minute

@mod shouldn't that qualify us for a deadline extension?

[Black]

HURT: May
HEAL: Umlaut

This is the list Implosion and I agreed on for awhile so I'll join him back on it

[May]

I like ceejay better than Umlaut and maybe better than Aventurine.
In retrospect ceejay was having an easier time getting into the game than Umlaut was. And I should probably try to compensate some for not town reading ceejay in most of the games I roll with him

But there's a new ceejay I guess

[Moros]

the deadline will be at least 72 hours after the last replacement fills
