If it was me it would be B

What does this mean? That you would only make the kind of post that Eevee did if you were scum?

Robz what did you think about my post for a me, you, joth, eevee, mix coalition?

With your reasoning being that those are easier people to read? I agree in theory and mostly in practice, although I don't personally think I can read Mix any better or worse than the people not on this list.

Pretty much, I would be way way more likely to make that kind of post if I was scum.

I don't have a townread on him, but I added him to my coalition because he's more active and thus possibly easier to read than the somewhat unknown (to me at least) quantities.

But also, I strongly suggest we play this phase by actually trying to develop reads and put people in the coalition that you genuinely think are probably town.

So based on that you are now good with including mix but no longer want to include eevee??

My bottom two slots are very open, which is why I want to hear more from Jack and scola.

But mcmc and Cuzz are excluded by design.

It’s not that either of them is being scummy per se (the randomness thing is barely a case, even I admit). But when I think about how active a role scum is most likely taking in the coalition shaping, those are the slots I’m drawn to.

I think taking out active players because they are "likely taking an active role in coalition shaping" is a very bad idea.

I’m being pretty active but I disagree that I’m doing all that much to shape the coalition so far. I haven’t even chosen a 5th member yet.

People can do what they want but again I think there’s a little too much high dimensional chess going on. To me it seems like the way to go is basically to list folks from townie to scummy, take your top 5, and then try to have at least 5 of us come to a consensus. 

It’s ok if you don’t think I’m town, but I’d much prefer being left off because of an argument that there are 5 specific people townier than me.

Pretty sure thats what robz is implying and I have to take him at his word although the idea that anyone can read awaclus well is mind boggling to me. Though not that I am thinking I feel like I recall robz mentioning this to me IRL back in the day.

I don't have a read on him right now but I can imagine myself having a read on him later more easily than I can imagine having a read on, say scola.

I took out Eevee because of the daychat thing. I thought that was obvious.

I added Mix because you and Joth want him in the coalition, I don't have a strong feeling for or against, and we'll have to make concessions in order to have five people approve the same coalition. Hemming and hawwing over individual selections will end up being anti-town.

Can you explain what was happening exactly?
Yea! I typed the following post with the removal and adding bolded:

"Remove: All

Add: Mcmc
Add: Robz
Add: Cuzz
Add: Mixx
Add: Eevee

Adding Cuzz for activity and townieness. Removing Joth for scu"

And as I was typing scum I stopped and thought to myself oh god I am omgus scum reading joth for losely D1 scumreading me for being active for the millionth time and I absolutely must stop. Then I removed the bolding so as to not change my current coalition of me, robz, joth, eevee, mix and continued to make the post because I think its helpful.

Also I know that the fact that I frequently scum read Joth as town early on in a game would seem to be counter to the fact that I think I can read Joth well however my "ability to read X player well" was directed at the ability to correctly guess the players alignment late game via a re-read.
