Are you not town?
I am! I'm a little disheartened in the early going because this is supposed to be the part that I don't have trouble with.

Also I kind of want to make you post at least a little before I go to the dance with you. (And also, I'll admit, I was thinking a few hours before you posted that I'd probably townread you if you didn't jump on me immediately because doing so is probably a high EV play for a scum version) The offer helps me feel better, though. <3

In post 302, Ankamius wrote:I'm primarily looking to avoid being a paranoia mislynch late in the game, which I suspect is a reasonable possibility if I start taking a lead role in the game throughout and the game hits a point where there's like... three pairings left. I would like to avoid that scenario.

I also have a tendency to get emotional or have my particular personality quirks either frustrate other people enough to compromise their ability to hunt properly or to shut myself down so that I become useless; I expect that this playerlist is one that this can happen in depending on how the game goes

if there's a high enough possibility of either of these scenarios happening, then it's far better for me to try to
build an endgame townblock to PoE out the game and leave to cement that my solve is town motivated
than to try to push each lynch myself and risk compromising the entire game over it

it's ultimately a decision of practicality over what is better for town in the lategame rather than the present; it's one of the reasons I'm very uneasy with the early townreads I've gotten, because becoming a consensus obvtown read has the downside of me practically being forced to be in that endgame pairing and risk the second scenario happening (unless I'm the designated sacrifice with Kagami for intermission, but I don't believe that's ever optimal unless I'm one of the biggest question mark slots in the game)
I guess my suspicion is that you actually believe this since it's a weird angle to take.

But I wanna push back a little and ask if your experience indicates that the bolded is something that actually works frequently because mine doesn't

So far, I have to say that this is the most disciplined I've ever seen players in a dance setup, and is probably close to the best pre-game I've seen.

I hope that everyone can continue holding out a bit more until everyone has checked in before throwing out an invite frenzy.

I'm a little confused why Ank isn't just on the "solve the whole flipping game super early, either get those lynches right away or at least when my reads are flip vindicated" path, that's what I do when I feel like a walking mislynch.

This game didn't have a proposal until the second post, because Ankamius is not the hero we deserve but she's the hero we need.
