Open 728: Sharing is Caring (GAME OVER)

[HitAlt]

But I will let you do you as long as you swear you'll actually talk about things later

I don't like swearing.

[HitAlt]

ATM there isn't much I wanna talk to you abt

I'm sad now.

the fuck not?

I actually like NSG's case for town, just not sure she's got her guy yet.

Wait what case exactly do you mean?

[HitAlt]

I think the worst is town here.

[the worst]

bruh >; am sorry
is there something in particular you wanna talk to me about? or just suggesting I ask the same q's I asked HWS to you? I'd welcome your take on them too of course

[HitAlt]

They can def. be chill as scum too, but I have a strong vibe.

[HitAlt]

I've only seen HWS once or twice on site.
No idea what to think of them yet.

The jjh case?

pedit: Alty you an alt?

[HitAlt]

JJ, explain what made you unvote?

This + her avatar being cute AF makes me think she is town.

lol
also, yes
her follow through on this was good as well

Is water wet? I'd think so!

Agree. Alt answering questions can't hurt? Blending and discussing = good imo?

[HitAlt]

I'm not 100% on her currently, sorry to say

Like the more I brag about me reading NSG

The more the observer effect comes into play

I can read her in games that I'm not playing in

This gives me scummy vibes.
Might be the RvS-mood affecting Dino here, but the tone is off.

[the worst]

reeks of lurkscum opportunism tbh

[the worst]

real talk are you getting anything from it other than tonal pings?

[HitAlt]

Not really.

[HitAlt]

Wow, I didn't expect the game to start today

VOTE: zoronos

Posts like this always ping me too.
They aren't even that "late", so the whole "wow-thing" feels off.

I'm obviously nitpicking as we don't have much yet, but I'm bored so..

Were I to make a case against Dino (and note that this case holds similarly against pinturicchio, if you'd notice), it would be thus:
Other than his 'I'm not ready to give a read yet' post on NSG, so far his posts have been exclusively about setup / PR utilization. He has not yet produced a read, and PR-utilization-talk is a good way to accomplish an active lurk while appearing to contribute.
However, I think we're too early in the game to prosecute that case, but it earns one eyebrow-raise for both him and pinturicchio.
Further, I don't think I agree about the tone note here. While it's self-aware, it's not self-aware in a scummy fashion, imo. I believe 95 (which you quoted) from MD is NAI. The post was relatively early and I can understand where he's coming from vis-a-vis observer effect affecting his reads.

I will contrast ruru here, since while she discussed (and started) the PR-discussion, she also produced reads alongside them even if I'm not sure I agree with those reads (also note my earlier commentary on her, which feeds into this contrasting position).

[Zoronos]

tl;dr if I were voting one of those people, I'd vote pinturicchio over MD from current weight of evidence.

Pinturicchio - let's talk about scum. What are your current thoughts on who is scum?

[Zoronos]

reeks of lurkscum opportunism tbh

I'm not sure I'm following - can you contextualize this?
I think it's a response to HitAlt but I'm not sure I understand the post in that context, so I'm left kinda head-scratch who / what you're referring to and I'd like to understand.

This was a shitpost sorry

[HitAlt]

...aaaand Zoro is different here too. (I've now read two games from them)

[Zoronos]

This was a shitpost sorry

Ah, no worries.

I was trying to figure out how you were arriving at a lurkscum case on the guy you were just talking to and failing. Which left me wondering if you were referring to the MD post, and then scratching at how a not-ready-to-read was opportunism.

What do you think of MD and Pintu so far?

[the worst]

math is the setup spec king.
pintu is a slow burn kinda player.

have no strong feelings on either of them yet. I don't mind your take on their setup spec emphasis but they're both gonna be more sortable later in the phase

[HitAlt]

Duck above is correct.
Pinochhio can seem like scum until D2, and then be such an obvious toen.
Dino likes to break setups so that part is NAI, but I stand my ground on his tone being off previously.
