Gemma's Favorite Music Mafia

i'm not really vibing with anyone's view on the game state so far and even when I do start to lean into a certain realm i regress and hate it. basically a lack of a cohesive feel on the current game state.

honestly im not really sure how to coalesce my thoughts here into an actionable question for you but like.... i guess what *range* of reads list do you think you would be happy with? In your eyes, how could we come together and create a cohesive picture of the game, basically. And is such a worldview incompatible with the reads of those that you would hypothetically call village?

I do think I generally understand the feeling you're talking about here. I've had times where I can look at someone and think "this person is either a wolf, or someone who is INCREDIBLY important for me to find, because our reads combined can filter into something approaching a good solve, if I were to trust on a few key pieces". Which is probably *different*, strictly speaking, but I hope you get what I mean.

opining philosophical for a bit, but i realized recently that i am someone who struggles immensely when there are unknowns on the table (e.g. 0 posters or near it). this has never really mattered much when I mashed because that's very much a pick and choose type thing, but i really have a tough time parsing turbos for example when there are 0 posters, to the point that i kind of feel like how i'm sort of feeling now (but on a longform scale).

so part of it is just time and seeing everyone join in. when we have all 15 or 17 or whatever people in thread and posting content i'll feel a bit better. part of my annoyance has been alleviated just by some people posting more content since i've complained (or me catching up on content i skipped over while at work). ideally I could withhold a good chunk of my content until everyone has checked in at some level, because one of my humongous pet peeves is creating thread narratives before everyone has a chance to give input on what they want thread narrative to be, but also have an annoyingly unwitting desire to just spam and blurt shit out so sucks to be me

ye i think that makes sense. you can create games with that unknown aspect being the entire central gimmick (for example, games which rand from a deck, or ones where you have alignment neutral flex slots) in general i try to get a general feel for things in that if on average people seem *good*, that means the lurkers are on average *bad*. Does that work well in reverse? eh...

idk if its just me but i ALREADY feel like the deadline is looming and it feels like i really ought to have a much better grip on the game atp especially if i wanna be able to coordinate anything resembling an effective wagon lol
