OMGUS is another example of a buzzword that doesn't provide valid reasoning or insight onto something

It
is
my bias. But it's provided by experience.

People also seem to misunderstand me when I say "if Sky flips town".
It's not a backdoor for a mislynch - stupid idea.
I really think the slot is possibly the most obvious scum with or without dramonic, OR THE MOST OBVIOUS LYNCHBAIT.

So I bang that jar open, and find certain players by the names of
the worst, brassherald, Ausuka
.
If Sky flips town, I'd eat my hat if there's no scum in this trio.
And no matter how much you can try and say "that makes no sense", I know I'm correct about this.
Duck knows I can metaread him, Ausuka has no idea how much of his games I've already read, and same with brassherald.

So we lynch SkyGrazer today, and when he flips scum all's good.
The one who already voted me for being scummy(??) is their buddy on a red flip..

Am I literally insane for thinking that Taly is scum for babbling about having a meta read on his own predecessor Dave? One of the oldest scum tells in the book, albeit I've forgotten the name of it, but yeah no one? Anyone? Bueller?

@Elbrin: Yeah, that’s one of the things that really pings me. About Taly’s enterance. Anything else about it you don’t like?
Also, talk to me about hit. I want to hear some opinions on him.

I don't have much of a fully fledged opinion about him other than what I said earlier, which I wanted to pick up and run with and pretend to be all hyper confident about but i don't think he's scum with Dave/Taly slot so here we are, trapped in the amber of this moment.

At any rate his nonsensical babble about having a team-solve and trying to push that through is, if not scummy, certainly bad play

Oh and i didn't realize you had asked for more Taly thoughts. Everything else was fine, though since I already went and thought "hey wow you're scum based on this one thing" I have an immediate paranoia that with all that sucking up to me that he did, hes scum trying to pocket me.

@Elbirn

I didn't say I had a meta read on
Dave
- I didn't read any part of this thread prior to replacing in if that's what you're meaning, I'm saying,
Dave
plays to what I feel like town-him is, and that makes me feel better about meta-reading him or accurately reading him in the future.

And what team-solve are you talking about? I'm stating my reads and thoughts as I read.

Also, I don't pocket others. I jump into other people's pockets to further my perception and judgment of the game.

:igmeou: I'm a little annoyed at the moment, nobody's really approached me with their thoughts of the gamestate, more or less just judge my entrance and not my walls/reads.

No wonder most of the playerlist is divided, it's been
27 pages
and that
only
5 people are united on a vote
{Rask, Hit, TW, Brass, Ausuka,} (Sky wagon)


and even they are being handled with a lack of confidence.

This isn't something you usually say about the wagon you're on, when you're voting someone you're confident is scum.

Why are you entertaining
Sky
being town atm? If you're looking at this reality, and further saying it's a stretch possibility, why aren't you looking more in depth at
tw, brass, ausuka
?

This just reads like you're trying to absolve yourself of possibly being wrong.

If

Granted, Taly's… Talyness could just be them being who they are but man there's a few key problems with what happened here and that worries me. I'll wait for a full catchup instead of base everything on them reading the first nine pages.

HitAlt is both scummy and egoistical if they're gonna just call portions of the game and assume people will listen to them. mfw

was presumably RVS and I figured that the self-vote was solely to get attention brought onto him.

falls into the same category of pushing for attention and to strike discussion, so I felt this was also a post more likely to come from town.

Because it's a helpful mentality to not let buzzwords and general mentalities of how something is, influence and overwrite game discussion or thoughts.

I didn't read into too much depth into it, but I liked the posting, and that influenced my read.

And no, the townread on
Chickadee
isn't solely because she townreads my slot, and I already stated that I wasn't as comfortable about my read on her as I made it in the readslist, I just wanted a reaction that could've helped solidify my read.

~


My reads right now are a bit fickle, I'm still absorbing info. while trying to catch-up and gauging the gamestate as it is.

I feel awkward that people are paying more attention to my townreads than my null, unsure, or scumreads.

...My next post will just be me catching up to page 18...

Honestly I'd prefer you just catchup first so we're not talking to you when you're not fully informed about the game.
No offense but some things have changed since page 9.

In post 570, Andrius wrote:HWS, of all the people in this game you're the one person where my gut is just like TOWN. Solid posting and consistent. Care to entertain me with what you think of the [Inferno, brassherald, the worst] bloc?
While I'm not caught up as well as I'd have liked I can answer:

Inferno - seems townie to me so far. But I'd probably need to Iso him for a better feel when I can re read his stuff and point it out. I do feel scum would be better off laying low as opposed to being in a catfight with Gus

Brass - like him so far. Seems genuine I think. I like the reads (and the guy) and would have 0 desire to lynch there rn. Also, pretty active and I think scum brass might be less active (although him being less active in scum games may be life issues etc)

TW... I can live with the "give him time to obvtown" approach and even if he's scum he'd spew enough info I feel. I could meta him but I've played/modded with him 3 times before buuuut with ~2300 of his posts per game day that's gonna take a while.


So in short I'm not seeing any scum there right now. Something might trigger me to go iso dive later on but not right now. I'm moreso looking at Skygazer, dram, maybe Chick

But your immediate reactions to them were completely different? You talked about Elbirn being towny for it and for Rask you just gave a "why"? I don't really get the difference.

Right but like that's a matter of opinion and it seems unlikely scum!elbirn would blatantly lie about his opinion on how useful an acronym is which makes the fact that you then called him "obvtown" :igmeou:
And like the only thing you mentioned about Elbirn before this is his self-vote and your reaction to that seems overblown as well. Like there is no good reason why scum can't do that really and it feels like your mega townread on Elbirn isn't natural.

what else is it based on then? because you made no mentions of her in your catchup and "she townreads me" is the only thing you said about her. can you walk me through why you thought, "I will reaction test X specifically by saying that I'm townreading them because they're townreading me!" Like it seems really fishy that when Chick criticized two things from you, you said they were both looking for reactions and I have no idea why you make those really random and confusing reaction tests as town.

Its entirely possible that I'm being pedantic or failing at reading comprehension, but my interpretation of what you said was basically "Hi, I'm replacing dave! *reads Dave's posts* yup, he sure is town!"

Like, youd never need to do that. You know your own slots alignment.

Even if I'm wrong in my understanding of that post, it's really weird that you'd take the time to declare that this will help you read him in future games. It's useless to mention this game and is an awkward way of saying "I'm town btw"

As for team solving, that post was talking about hitalt, not you. I apologize if i wawaswawasnwawaswawasnt clear there, and I left that string of nonsense up there because this is what my phone does and I want you all to share in the pain of 20 minute phone posts

For the record I would denounce acronyms and buzzwords regardless of alignment. It's not a good way to play and is basically psychological tricks masquerading as actual knowledge/thought.
