lets see....

Figet seems cool if not a bit quirky. Definitely andante, need that hyper active dog in a PT with me for story time. Penguinpower cause got to keep your enemies close and he still has a bridge to deliver me. Loki maybe?

Enchant seems chill too

whoever wants me I guess, cause like NAHA is likely town, but voiced they don't want me on their team, so like, it's whatever. I hate picking teams, so yeah have fun. pick me or don't but if I'm on a team, I'd rather be on your team, cause even if I didn't sr CSF before "I'll just pick everyone who healed me" is not a team I wanna join lmao

If you want a bunch of town

RR, me, you, gamma, naha, probably penguin?

something like that would just end the game

i probably don't want to deal with Loki being paranoid of me eventually so maybe not on the same team with em.

Final list: Me, Cat scratch, andante, penguinpower, enchant.

In post 589, Andante wrote:ooh nice, picking TRs. I love how CSF was like "I'll just pick the people that voted me" like what? that is probably the worst logic you can have here tbh, like, if town was voted in, I'm gonna take a wild guess scum was like "ok must be on their good side, they're about to get power"

but uhh I hate coalition stuff, so whatever, I'm town though!!
from my perspective, there's just little incentive for scum to vote for me as leader; I'd expect scum to try to push one of their own as leader. Unless I'm pocketed, but I don't really see myself as a priority pocket in this list?

Of course, this doesn't matter if ejji is scum but I still think that slot is town

You’ve made it clear you don’t like me and also concerned about your reads. Idk but I still don’t understand how and why you make them. I explained all that kind’ve earlier when I made my leader votes. Also when did you start doubting Gamma? He’s like one of the most obvious townies in the playerlist after Andante.

It’s extremely frustrating to me because your thought process reads very genuine, I guess some of your conclusions somewhat baffle me.

I don't think you should try to play PoE games with the pools because I am wary of what happens to the people who stay (and maybe the ones who go). But, it's your choice. We have 7 days to pick between the two teams, apparently.

pedit:

Sort of. Loki seemed genuinely locked in an ego battle with N-Hect, Aisa comes off as a pure being to me.... Loki I'm kinda still figuring out but they play a very distinct town game.

Lemme dig deeper just for you. Yeah it's their relationship with N-Hect, I think they're genuinely interested in the sort of... back and forth they're doing where they townread/scumread/townread/scumread back and forth according to various previous game performances. Loki bogged down like half their ISO with that, idk if it irks them as much as scum. Best I got.

Aija is kinda peaceful. I reread her ISO and didn't come up with anything. I might replace her with Gamma to be honest. I'm not sure what I like about Aisa other than that she's pleasant
So do scum jump in a Delorean with Doc Brown and go to the future? Not trying to be flip being in Pooky games kind’ve does that to you.

But seriously, can you explain how time travel to the past makes sense with this game because that totally went over my head?
It’s flavor related
We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

well if scum know they're not being voted leader, next best option is to pocket at least 1 leader... just sayin

I wouldn’t object to me, Loki, Enchant, NAHA, Fidget being one of the options
Why not Andante though? Talk to me more about Enchant. I didn’t really get much of a sense from Roden.

Won reread, I think I get it, it’s like Divergence or something, we need to go back to the past to save the world from the terminators.
I just listed the names CSF gave + a TR of my own
Andante is also potentially viable but ngl I’m wary of her
I feel like I might be learning Enchant’s style fairly well, don’t want to give the full road map yet but there’s a game he replaced me in that is kinda my blueprint for his town game, it felt like this. Also recall TRing Roden earlier.

Again, having difficulty decoding what people think the setup is, but I basically echo this. I think you want to have generally "towny" people in the team that eventually gets selected because:
- if they are all town, then autowin
- if they are not all town, then you get a strong signal that you should re-evaluate current reads.

If instead you have scummier people on the team, then:
- the probability of an autowin diminishes
- you also get less information if you don't autowin since you were already suspicious of some of the crew anyway.

The fact the leaders each pick one crew we then vote one is weird and I'm not really sure what to make of it.

nooooooooo
wait sorry XD I didn't mean it that way
I get way too personal and talk way too bluntly way too quick
It's a bad habit of mine
I think you're cool lmao XD

How does it matter whether our reads differ or not? I'm not picking a team immediately
all of that is up to discussion

gamma is my gut read. I played with them once (they pocketed me as scum late-game)
I felt like they cared less and liked sooome of their pop-ins, tho like- it was never a strong read for me tho
tbh I was largely sheeping the town-reads others wrote when talking about them yesterday

If you want to elaborate (or quote a post where you did), please do so
(same with Rat...)
(if you don't want to, I'll be looking through your ISO tomorrow)
(tho that'd certainly make it easier)
