The idea is to have me and Dwlee go back to back, right? Did I misunderstand something?

Not necessarily, I mean, I was more concerned about the fact that those were the types of slots crossing rather than the order.

But if you believe this order is most appropriate for my plan of the first 4 crosses, then I'm all ears.

In post 5187, ulyana wrote:VOTE: ulyana
I'll elaborate on why I liked this vote.

It was during a pivotal moment where
Dwlee
could be hammered. So I doubt
Ulya
had any clear expectation on what would happen if she asserted herself to cross.

Let's look at the motivations in each possible alignment stack up with
Dwlee/Ulya
.

S/S:
Very improbable because I don't think scum would want to compete with their own buddy unnecessarily.

Dwlee
-town/
Ulya
-scum: Why wouldn't
Ulya
just join the bandwagon? It reads as uninformed of
Ulya
here because she's already stated
Dwlee
as an uncertainty in this game, so why not combat that by latching onto the glimmer of hope she could be the first to cross at the expense of someone she was less certain of?
Ulya
-scum would've been better served to shut down my push on
Dwlee
or begin to campaign for herself the moment that my crossing plan acquired ground.

Dwlee
-scum/
Ulya
-town: This makes even less sense because
Dwlee
-scum has genuinely nothing to gain by suggesting another player be the first to cross, this order of crossing is least likely to be confronted with any credible WIFOM. So
Dwlee
seeing my POV around
Ulya
as murky and wanting to use that as a method to either solve or progress the game felt genuine.

It's easiest to think that it's town/town because neither player's interactions dictate what the other does or thinks.

p-edit


I can go with
Gamma
, but I'd like to hear people chew on my assessment here.

I hadn’t thought about any order other than the pairs going across two by two.
I think the optimal strat would actually be to stagger crossings. So Ulyana should cross next, followed by me, and then Cakez.
Unless we want to branch out on this idea to include skitter+gooey, in which case I surmise 2 orders could work, either an ABCABC order (each pair sending one half across, then the other half) or perhaps ABACBC. I’d personally think ABCABC more functional. I’m postulating on this because I thought I saw something from Ydrasse accepting being a part of those left behind if we get far enough to make the plan involving all 3 pairs work and no kill happens. If I’m dreaming a little too big just let me know.
VOTE: Ulyana
I think sending her across next is my preferred option rn.

Ydra
, why are you comfortable with
Ulya
crossing? Are they still a big question mark to you?

everything is a question mark but this event feels circular without people actually crossing

I don’t want to get into the real details but doing it back-to-back is pretty scum-adjacent I think

This is good in theory, but I want more wiggle room. I'd like
Peta/I
to cross and I'd rather not
Ydra
uncross at this point in time. But that's 9 players.

I'm also interested in
Gammagooey's
position on what the 5th seat looks like.

Or, we could just do the fun route.

No set order with the pairs. Just go with where we want to wind to blow.

This might be optimal for more reasons than one.

Gives scum less of a chance to maneuver their queue.

The unfortunate thing about this event is, this could be the winning solve. :( We always have to uncross someone we realistically think could be town.
