Before that point I discussed reads on you and Gus, which is basically 80% of the in-game posts by that point
Oh, yes, your two posts saying: "Gus is town because of his 1v1" and "Gus is a specific type of player that makes what he did town, so Andrius is conftown."
And notice how I said "little hunting?" Plus I address your read on Gus below, and in context, it's more of taking a position on the current topic and trying to use it to push a replace in as conftown. (Which, by the way, your conftown claim is a bit of a stretch anyways. But that's another point.)
-He refuses to explain why Gus is Town because of “chill rules,” but when I point out Gus’ major inconsistencies, his only response is “you’re gonna be disappointed with people.” Plus, in #472 he talks about Gustavo’s argument and how he has to convince himself as scum and such. What argument? There was no arguments being had. So weak case for town!Gus, especially when challenged
Pretty sure anyone except you and Hit would understand exactly what I'm saying here.
Wow. Talk about blowing people off. dramonic, I don't know what sort of playstyles you think exist, but in what world does someone COMPLETELY REVERSE ON THEIR REASONS FOR A READ?
-He provides little in terms of actual reads
I've provided reads on like half the playerlist, dunno what you're smoking
I was not aware that I, Hit, the Andrius slot, the dave slot, Duck, and flubber composed 8 people. and there's about zero detail on any of them except for davesaz.
So yeah, you've given a handful of reads with little to no reasoning behind them.
-the davesaz wagon consists mostly of “you’re not being transparent enough” and no other real points and concerns are being stated
Transparency is 95% of what makes a player town.
Wrong. Good, logical, town benefiting hunting is 95% of what makes a player town. You an be as opaque as frick and no one will give a damn if you're advancing the gamestate in a way that benefits town.
-he’s actually just sheeping the Hit wagon. He’s added no relavant content to it
Again, you haven't actually read my ISO
Yes I have. And the one post you do have explaining your sheeping is more or less parroting exactly what I said at the start of the wagon.
-he’s done a total reverse on TW with no progression or reasoning except for that he’s defending Hit, who isn’t even confirmed scum yet
Reverse based on what?
Well, at the start of the game, you make it pretty clear that you think Duck is town. When he stats defending Hit, however, you just reverse on him with no outward indication of why.
-Is passive aggressively tunneling Taly despite giving no reads on him after davesaz replaces out
It's the same playerslot. I don't care what Taly has to say.
That would be called stupidity in action. You don't just ignore what a slot says because you think that the player from before was scum. At this point it's a level of confbias that isn't even dumb anymore. It's just scummy.
-only provided original reads on davesaz. No other original content from the slot after that exchange
See above
Above where? You are parroting, sheeping and generally coasting through this game, and providing little to a town-beneficial gamestate.
-Posturing pretty hard for accusing someone of posturing and not doing anything
... do you know what posturing means?
"A particular way of behaving that is intended to convey a false impression."
Such as:
Acting like you're a town leading role when you've actually done little to push the gamestate forward
Sheeping wagons and then acting like you've got some big read on the victim
Parsing a post to make it look like you're giving logical responses when you're actually just blowing of the poster's points :D
Other things I like about scum!dramonic:
-You've said that Andrius is conftown from the moment of his replace in an then proceeded to have 0 interaction with the slot.
In post 920, dramonic wrote:That's a lovely accusation, except I've been on Taly's ass since before the replacement
-No you have not. You've posted about zip about taly except for the fact that you think he's scum. You've got no real case on him, you're just conftunneling his slot.
In post 972, dramonic wrote:I did, several times. The fact youve got a confbias doesn't make things not there.
-Confbias? What confbias? I started scum reading you literally right before this post was made. What?




In conclusion, dramonic is either blowing off my points or trying to reverse the work of defending himself onto me (which is a super scum thing to do btw), not contributing to a good town gamestate, and providing reads without actually giving his own reasons for them.


If we don't lynch dramonic today, I will be sad.

There's nothing stretchy about my conftown claim. Gus play was textbook basic town VI.
Wow. Talk about blowing people off. dramonic, I don't know what sort of playstyles you think exist, but in what world does someone COMPLETELY REVERSE ON THEIR REASONS FOR A READ?
Scum has to convince themselves of their own argument before they can convince the town, and I don't think for a second that Gus thought he could be wrong. That doesn't come from a scum mind.
This. His stances and opinions are irrelevant, it's his behavior that is telling.
I was not aware that I, Hit, the Andrius slot, the dave slot, Duck, and flubber composed 8 people. and there's about zero detail on any of them except for davesaz.
So yeah, you've given a handful of reads with little to no reasoning behind them.
I've elaborated on my read on Hit, duck, dave slot and gus slot. you and flubs I haven't said much on, so I'll give you that and agree that I haven't given reads on half the players.
Wrong. Good, logical, town benefiting hunting is 95% of what makes a player town. You can be as opaque as frick and no one will give a damn if you're advancing the gamestate in a way that benefits town.
That's just false so... dunno what to add there. There's a large, LARGE pool of players that don't know what the fuck they're doing most games and that are town. Their play certainly isn't logical or town benefiting.
Yes I have. And the one post you do have explaining your sheeping is more or less parroting exactly what I said at the start of the wagon.

I actually voiced herethat I thought his stuff was bull, which is before you even mentioned him as a read, so... The fact I didn't pin "therefore you are scum" at the end doesn't make my thoughts a parrot. Hell, you're the one
agreeing
with the basis for my vote and embelishing on it, later.
Well, at the start of the game, you make it pretty clear that you think Duck is town. When he stats defending Hit, however, you just reverse on him with no outward indication of why.
I said that yall discussing how he needs to die early by virtue of being TW is stupid. That's not remotely "pretty clearly a townread"
That would be called stupidity in action. You don't just ignore what a slot says because you think that the player from before was scum. At this point it's a level of confbias that isn't even dumb anymore. It's just scummy.
That's not confbias. Confbias would be building a bullshit case on Taly because Dave made it obvious he's scum. It's naive and stupid to give the replacement a clean slate because "it's a different person".
Also I'm not ignoring what Taly says, I'm just interpreting it knowing he's scum. I don't care != I'm ignoring.
Above where? You are parroting, sheeping and generally coasting through this game, and providing little to a town-beneficial gamestate.
I interpreted this question as "no original content on the Dave slot since the replacement" as opposed to "no original content". To which I reply... I've given plenty of thoughts so I don't have much to reply to that. You can go dig up the same post I flung at Brass if it distracts you.
"A particular way of behaving that is intended to convey a false impression."
Such as:
1. Acting like you're a town leading role when you've actually done little to push the gamestate forward
2. Sheeping wagons and then acting like you've got some big read on the victim
3. Parsing a post to make it look like you're giving logical responses when you're actually just blowing of the poster's points :D
1. I'm not acting like I'm a town leading role?
2. Addressed earlier, but my votes on Dave and HitAlt are both very clearly explained.
3. Technically I'm doing both. Giving logical responses, AND blowing off your points cuz most are bullshit.
-You've said that Andrius is conftown from the moment of his replace in an then proceeded to have 0 interaction with the slot.
...Ok? So? Just because I have a townread on someone doesn't mean I have to constantly interact with them. We clearly agree on who scum is, there's little to discuss.
-No you have not. You've posted about zip about taly except for the fact that you think he's scum. You've got no real case on him, you're just conftunneling his slot.
Taly and Dave are the same slot. I have nothing to say to Taly. The case is that he replaced Davez.
-Confbias? What confbias? I started scum reading you literally right before this post was made. What?
Confbias about TW being town, not about me being scum.


In conclusion, dramonic is either blowing off my points or trying to reverse the work of defending himself onto me (which is a super scum thing to do btw), not contributing to a good town gamestate, and providing reads without actually giving his own reasons for them.
In conclusion, this is false.

Yes. I don't like how either of them have responded to their pressure. Like, at all. In contrast, Gus's response to pressure is what led me to townread his slot.

I'm just playing pretty close to the chest here and realize that you're one of those people I can't just sort out in a day sort of things.
I have a healthy respect for your play and what you are capable of.

Yeah. Its more of personality than the game itself though.

B I N G O

You can "call the setup" as much as you want but he puts so little effort into actually doing anything in the game. Calling 'teehees' and 'honey traps' is useless if he doesn't DO anything.
And there's been a complete lack of DRIVE this game from him besides 'no one understands my brilliant methods' basically.

Here's where I stand with this game.
There's 2~ days left and I don't want to put in the effort to wear the cape and wave the banner and throw the sword.
I don't want to carry that weight. And this is supposed to be chill.

So I'm sitting here just wondering where that leaves me.

Heh, guess I'll wrote then.
Thought it might not be necessary after all, but since A is being pigheaded (or not paying attention to the more subtle things Taly apparently noted), I guess I would feel like gamethrowing if I just rolled over and died.

I'll make the posts I promised today then. (and you will all have to forgive me for walling, because that is the only way I know how)
I am Alt. Hope it's a hit.

In post 864, HeWhoSwims wrote:How is 848 bad exactly Taly

The little justification is mostly because some off the stuff I dislike happened recently and partially because others pointed stuff out.
Your question seemed rhetorical and unhelpful. The whole post of served to make it appear as though
Hit
was unjustified in his own question and thoughts about why people were discussing him.

You didn't seem interested in asking why or probing his thought process here.
In post 866, Flubbernugget wrote:Okay taly

Short answer to your challenge to me is that it's pretty obvious you voted me as the counterwagon that could save your ass
Yeah, I'm definitely voting you to save my ass.

That's why I voted you over
Sky
who had equal, if not more suspicion or votes at the time. :facepalm:
In post 866, Flubbernugget wrote:Dramonic is probably town

Elbrin is still scum, and shame on you all for letting the "I'm blatantly acting like scum but explicitly pointing that out so it's all okay" schtick fly under the radar.
dramonic
is no longer really town to me, so I hope you outline your read here.

And honestly, I agree with you on the
Elbirn
sentiment, I don't really like any of his posts in retrospect.

In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:Your first reach out to me is in . You're asking about me investigating into Rask/Profii being lamist and if that flows into my scum read on Dave somehow. Right out of the gate you're spewing nonsense at me that's hiding within your seas of text.
1)
because
Dave
said LAMIST too and this was before I go to your vote there.
2)
If I was hiding something within my sea of text, why wouldn't I pull quotes and bold the names of people I mention,
Flubb
?
3)
I don't think I'm spewing nonsense because this post is me asking you about
Rask/Profii
since you said you'd investigate them, I want to know how your read evolved here.
4)
And no, I never implied that
Rask/Profii
were being LAMIST, I remember one of them saying the buzzword LAMIST and that geared my thought about
Dave
and one of his earlier posts.
In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:Next in you take issue with me not having solid reads when I'm far from the only one with this issue. Why is this only problematic with me? How were other players of my activity level memorable enough for you to consider them town?
Because up until the post I quoted or really until you voted
Dave
you didn't have a vote and you weren't really pushing your reads.

I couldn't think about you and automatically see your stances of them, which is what prompted my question.

Another thing to note is that you just stated in that post that the case on you was weak without really engaging with it.
In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:You also take issue with me being suspicious of Gustavo even though he was obviously a controversial player and I came to the conclusion they were town anyway.
I was asking what
"wrt"
meant, and I'll need to reread for comprehension, but I just didn't like anyone's posting revolving around
Gustavo
including himself, and the
"side eye"
part was because I didn't want your response to resemble what other people say on the subject.

Sometimes I'm too quick to judge here - but I have a bad taste in my mouth whenever 3-4+ people have the same exact thought on something - especially when I'm not confident in reading them nor do I share the thought.
In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:I'm also going to ask you a question. What posts of Elbrin's do you believe are advancing the game?
I'm not sure what post prompted this question, but I no longer really think this. I think is an accurate representation on the gamestate involving him, and while he's pointed that out, I'm becoming weary of him.

I do like his quote posts where he engages... Rereading his ISO, I'm very iffy that
Hit/Me/Gustavo
have been his only votes because it's basically when each of these wagons were at a high point and his reasons for
Hit
were not original, and I didn't really get his scumread on me. -
In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:Also, despite you being able to post with lots of detail, you can't dive any deeper into my read on Dave other than "flub is wrong." This is extra bad considering a decent number of townies saw what I saw.
I don't think what you mentioned of
Dave
means he'd be scum though, since part of your case is noting he's analytical and to me that suggests you're familiar with him and that influences your read.

Dave
has a very similar feel to him here as he did in
Open 724 PYP
, where I was scum, and he was town. He wasn't too oriented in the game despite some of his really stunning and interesting analysis.

Dave
replaced out of this game with frustration, and I think that come from town-him more likely here than scum-him.
In post 869, Flubbernugget wrote:Oh, and rmember when you said I was Scum for having "very fluid" reads? When you give a full blown reads list in you had to in several different ways excuse it as volatile. So you have to know to some extent that scum doesn't fall out of malleable reads.

The tl;dr is that you threw shit at the wall to deflect attention from your forming wagon and it's not sticking at all.
When did I say you were scum for having very fluid reads? I was saying your posting was weak because of your reads not seeming solid.

I almost always have a volatile read in a game, I even call those reads 'volatile' so it's easier to explain them, it's not an excuse to have a fluid, these reads are when I'm not concrete on.


Having fluid reads isn't a scumtell, but your ISO at the time of my assessment of your posts didn't have a lot of reads defined or stated.

1) His entire ISO is posturing and arrogance. There's zero scumhunting, zero case, zero hard stance, zero nothing besides "Im the best, just give me til DX to prove it huehuehue". It's all white noise.[/quote]

This is a very simplistic look on it - I can see
Hit
-scum providing associations to confuse the gamestate, but I've only really seen town be this outlandish with associatives D1.

Why would
Hit
-scum throw associatives and teams out as a means to gamesolve in a way? That's a lot of attention garnered his way. He's acting on his scumreads; and he's changing them, which tells me he's taking the responses he gets from his points, and using that to gamesolve.

So he's not sitting around muddying the waters on people's reads, nor is he saying
"I'm the best and I should be sheeped"
. This rings to me has his playstyle.

Pushing him off as
"white noise"
while pushing for his lynch is counter-intuitive and unproductive at best.

Yeah... So you're throwing an associative on

Plus, are you meaning to tell me that all my posts so far haven't given you ANY rethought on your

You're not communicating, and you withholding your thoughts that revolve around the reasons of your scumreads doesn't feel genuine.

I really want taly to just make a post without any quotes in it and going in depth on his gamestate for a few sentences because tracking reads through his posts is actually pretty difficult
Flubber VS Taly and Hitalt as other leading but sort of a separate thing altogether is a really interesting and somewhat bizarro gamestate FTR given there's usually more connection between the two different things (hitalt and sky are almost isolated from most other game events)
I get into 1v1s a lot... usually as town, though. I have a long history of 1v1s and even 1v2s and 1v3s...

I often catch scum with this method.

1v1s are as useful as how the town that participates use that.

Also, I'm a very case-style person... but I'm working on being conversational. Please just list a few questions to me and I'll respond to them. That's how I work best.

UNVOTE:

I'm not feeling the
Flubb
wagon at the moment - his response to me doesn't strike me as scum-indicative, I'm going to need to catchup a little and evaluate some reads.

I still want a response, though.

What a lovely response to a rational notion

Unwarranted.

I'm confident in

Inferno
is looking more than surface level stuff in order to cultivate his scumread, and you seem threatened by this.

Also, real happy that you love claiming that you've been

You describe a lot of your scumreads' posts as flaily, but you seem to have multiple scumreads...

There's so many things wrong with this post.

VOTE: dramonic VOTE: dramonic VOTE: dramonic


In what world does town literally dismiss an entire replacement slot and tunnel their scumread based off a predecessor, while ignoring the other slot's posts?

Maybe this vote will encourage you
TO CARE
about
ANY
of
MY
posting
IN THIS GAME
because they
HOLD WEIGHT
.

I'm not moving my vote until you drop this
"you're scum and I want your lynch for reasons that vaguely apply because I don't want to try to read you more"
approach.

I completely disagree with the
Hit
lynch and you seem borderline apathetic about me having any opinion at all, despite it being different from yours.

~~~


Side note, I'm not sure about
TW
read at the moment, but there's more worthy people for me imo.

I think scum-
TW
WKing town-
Hit
is more possible than any reality regarding
Hit
-scum, but I have people I'm borderline tunneling to the ground at the moment.

Taly has no reason to put this much effort into their read on me if they were scum. Unless they intend to kill me off anyway I guess - they seem to have figured me out at least. Dave made a poor impression on me, especially with that long AtE-post, but Taly has improved that read a lot.

Another one who has made a lot of effort to actually take advantage of the wagon on me and scumhunt is Inferno.
If either of the two are scum, let it be known that they have been able to haze me completely this gameday then.
I am Alt. Hope it's a hit.

I'm going to stray from doing D1-townblocs because I often have a deepwolf there when it's made so early.

But
{MoI, Hit, and Inferno}
are strongest townreads at the moment.

There's about 3 people a step below strong townreads, but I need to evaluate them more individually and see if the read sticks.
{Andrius, Ausuka, xyzzy}


{Sky, profii, Rask}
are townleans, at least.

{Elbirn, Chick, the worst, Brass, HeWhoSwims, Flubb}
has both town and scum in it. I need flips and concrete info to help decipher this.

I'm going to need my high-townreads to lmk if I'm tunneling
dramonic
too hard because I will piledrive that slot and feel little-to-no remorse if it flips town at this point in time.
