It think some bad choices in pairings have been made.
Slaxx should have chosen me or Alisae over Dunn
and I’m of course concerned about Fire threatening to flake.
As for Ank/Allo, Ank got screwed mechanically.
The problem is more fundamental than that
I think that the way everybody's reads have shaken up is going to result in people feeling slighted if they aren't listened to and we don't get results, which is likely with Pink Ball/Clemency apparently being suicided at the start of the game and being likely town, as well as the fact that with that happening, we only have one lynch before scum gets their kill and IC choice.
The problem is that if we have all 3 scum alive and get to this point, then we are pretty much screwed unless we have someone who is both correct and able to rally everybody around them despite the fights that are happening.
I CAN be the rallying force, but I don't have the willpower to do that this game and I need to be very confident in my ability to read the game first, which is unlikely to happen since it's looking like I will have very little time to read the replacements since they are taking so long and the first dance is looking like it will be too short to build a solve around.
The only other person here I think has the ability to be that rallying force in that situation is Alisae, but I really don't see em being able to keep eir willpower up long enough to do it either.
So I'm not exactly sure what the path to a win is, because this is looking like it will be a loss in the longterm the farther the game goes without progressing correctly
