micro 833: a coalition (D O N E)

and also should it concern me (any of us?) that we seem to have had more activity in the past few minutes right after i post than we did in the entire previous day?

[probs a robot]

@northsidegal I have heard that your favorite month is december. I would be interested in finishing this game before that month and you showing up to thread and helping to conclude this game would help with that.

reflecting on it a bit more, i think this post makes TDW town.

I am not programmed to parse the deeper ramifications. However I believe there are many posts which make TDW town.

I mean, I have been busy (and somewhat awaiting your return).
But yes. The gamestate is frozen solid.

Okay I meant 84
I had that marked as worth one scumpoint and had 87 as a query point but I had a query on 84, and can’t recall what I wanted to ask for 87, though I do have an idea of what I was thinking about for why I marked it

[northsidegal]

ah, i think it's actually messing me up being so widely townread or something. do scum have some kind of specific incentive to try to pocket me or to get in my good graces because i'm almost certainly going to be in the coalition? is that something i should really be paranoid about? because if not then i think i actually feel kinda of strongly that 517 makes tdw town.

This game has been boring, you're right though, so I guess that does fuck up my normal play

Yuriko has fewer posts than Music even tho Music replaced out 8 days ago
Gamma hasn't really been here (and he's why I even joined this game)
Tes/N_M have given no opportunity for me to decide if Tes's early posts were enough to solidify to a scumread
I've been struggling to decide if you're scum or if your posting style is nuking my read
and in the mean time I had two very dramatic lylos to deal with (witches ball and the mini normal)

so yeah.. tbh I've thought about replacing out of this game since it just hasn't really felt like it's come together yet.

It concerns me

[DVa]

that was @skitter

[probs a robot]

{robot}
{NSG, TDW}
{Raya}

I believe that each of the above is aligned with the town.

{DVa}
{Gamma}
{Yuriko}
{TesXX}
{skitter30}

I believe that a submurgence in meta will allow me to more accurately determine the alignment of computer user TESXX prior to replacement. His replacement NOT_MAFIA appears to be aligned only with awesomeness.

[DVa]

well I asked if you wanted to talk NSG, lol, I kinda have been leaning town but you've been the person I've been most wondering if I should lock down as part of my coalition, but you haven't really been here. I think this is the first time in several days we've really been online at the same time?

[DVa]

Like I get you're worried about being pocketed but I need to understand you lol

[northsidegal]

i'm starting to get so concerned right now that scum are trying to get townread by me specifically and i don't know if that's something i should be concerned about or not

listing the reasons why 517 make tdw town to myself makes me realize that they could all

really easily

come from scum who just wanted to get me to townread them, but is that something that scum need to do?
does this sudden activity right after my post have anything to do with it?
normally i try to keep my reads mostly detached from myself (like i told dva) but it's starting to mess me up

i've never rolled IC and never understood people who say that they don't like the role, but i think i understand them a bit more now.

i mean yeah a lot of people are lurking, which is what i've been complaining about for a few days irl now
but your posts haven't really felt *into it* since the game started to me
once you've said those lylos ended i thougth you might be more active here but i'm not really seeing that, but you are active elsewhere

like yuriko isn't posting elsewhere onsite, nor has tes, and not_mafia is impossible for me to read
i've been on gamma's case about his posting for like days

what about my posting style is making it hard for you to read me?

[DVa]

suddenly Gamma and NSG are online at the same time this is chaos lol one sec

@northsidegal I have heard that your favorite month is december. I would be interested in finishing this game before that month and you showing up to thread and helping to conclude this game would help with that.

why is this townie to you?

[northsidegal]

{robot}
{NSG, TDW}
{Raya}

I believe that each of the above is aligned with the town.

if tdw can come to townread you then i think i would be fine with this coalition (plus one more person obviously)

[probs a robot]

TDW's play has certainly involved buddying you, regardless of alignment.
His play has also involved painting me as scum, regardless of alignment.

Your reaffirmation that I am uncomfortable with him due to playstyle issues was greatly comforting.

Gamma:

Thank god the game finally started
Also thank god I’m Town
Unfortunately I have a less well-known table to work with (though not by much of a margin I think, just by 1 parson)
But I also have less confidence in my ability to read this table

Overreaction spotted
VOTE: YurikoJasmine

This last post, idk it's what I was waiting to see show up in Witches Ball

It seemed like you were engaged early here in a way I just haven't seen in your scum games I've read

Do you think you get into it early like this as scum?

[northsidegal]

@northsidegal I have heard that your favorite month is december. I would be interested in finishing this game before that month and you showing up to thread and helping to conclude this game would help with that.

why is this townie to you?

like i said, listing out the reasons makes it obvious that it could easily come from scum who want to pocket me, but here they are:

1) tdw knows something about my that i don't think i've ever said publicly
2) he felt the need to say this
3) he asked me specifically to stop lurking and do something to help solve the game

the naive approach is to think "why would scum care about getting me to play the game? it's better for them the more i lurk and ignore this game, so it seems like TDW must be someone who knows me, who believes in my ability and who actually wants my help in solving the game."

[DVa]

what do you want to discuss?

why I should heal you

lol it's hard when you keep saying you don't want me in your coalition, but that's kinda why I want you in my coalition. I really feel like you aren't trying to pocket me but I also feel like your skepticism feels natural from a town POV. Like I feel pretty good about your slot, and I liked your self-meta earlier. But if you just refuse to be in my coalition I'm at a loss of what to do now

[The Dark Wanderer]

I 100% refuse to have robot in the coalition

i mean when i read it i thought it was nai, maybe a little buddying-y but he'd been townreading you the whole time so it felt kinda in-line with how he'd been approaching you the whole game
