ACT 1 SCENE I. KING JOHN'S palace.

Enter KING JOHN, QUEEN ELINOR, PEMBROKE, ESSEX, SALISBURY, and others, with CHATILLON

KING JOHN

Now, say, Chatillon, what would France with us?

CHATILLON

Thus, after greeting, speaks the King of France
In my behavior to the majesty,
The borrow'd majesty, of England here.

QUEEN ELINOR

A strange beginning: 'borrow'd majesty!'

KING JOHN

Silence, good mother; hear the embassy.

CHATILLON

Philip of France, in right and true behalf
Of thy deceased brother Geffrey's son,
Arthur Plantagenet, lays most lawful claim
To this fair island and the territories,
To Ireland, Poictiers, Anjou, Touraine, Maine,
Desiring thee to lay aside the sword
Which sways usurpingly these several titles,
And put these same into young Arthur's hand,
Thy nephew and right royal sovereign.

KING JOHN

What follows if we disallow of this?

CHATILLON

The proud control of fierce and bloody war,
To enforce these rights so forcibly withheld.

I will have more for you all over the course of my day/evening.

My suspicion on Wisdom is because I think the expressed confidence in Galron being town was put on, for the sake of emulating Wisdom-town confidence even when wrong. I don’t think that sort of confidence in Galron being town was possible from town, given all the issues with the Galron slot.

Also sheeping wheme ftw

PEdit @ceph I voted you because I thought it was doable as an alternative to Dunn/Galron.

More later in the day

past a certain threshold I voted Galron and stopped advocating for his survival, exactly because his claims didn't check out

pedit: why were you townreading dunn there?
I don't know what is meant by the first question. Looking back at my posts, I can see that I forecast the fact that I was going to vote Galron, and from memory he was becoming less and less likely to be town.

As for the second, I didn't have strong reason to think that Dunn was town, but I thought you were scummier. Also it was probably part me being oppositional because of how headstrong Wisdom was being and the fact that I didn't understand why people were voting Dunn.

I haven't had the time to deep-think about this game, but (I think) that's not super unusual for this stage of the game for me. I feel like I get much more
into it
when town's struggling and there's more at stake. Day 1 Juliet felt like a good PoE scum candidate (and much more likely scum than Wheme). Day 2 I initially thought Galron's antics could be from town, but then it all just became so messy that I couldn't in my right mind let him live.

At this point I haven't read Wisdom's Day 2 posts to check to see if I still think he's scum, but as someone who is known (at least in my experience with him) to be very headstrong about reads even when they're wrong, to go ridiculously all in on Galron being town feels like a good strategy for Wisdom-scum. I don't think he's town because I don't think town in their right mind could have been so confident in Galron being town.
