I'm not to sure what exactly you want me to evaluate.

It reads to me like clashing townies who just have different ways of approaching the game and don't necessarily have similar reads. It's best if you try to understand how/why Vedith is getting to his positions and reads (vice versa too), instead of arguing over methods.

I don't know why
Dann
-scum would be content with having
Urist
as an IC.

That's essentially grounds to validate suspicion on
Dann
based off
Urists'
read, or an argument to make that happen.

It looks too easy.

I'm not arguing with him. :igmeou: I don't like how I've been portrayed as being forceful or aggressive.

I'm TRYING to understand him.

Why is
Vedith
town to you?

So are you suggesting
Gamma
is the most scumread player? If so, I don't agree.

Why is Vedith town to you?
I don't mean to portray you as that either, I just mean you guys have very different styles and they're clearly clashing.

I had Vedith as an early town-lean for his behavior and attitude towards the start of the game, but that kinda waned with time as he disappeared as soon as he got a match and refused to participate anymore.

He's reassured me by coming back now with reads and analysis. Also, I don't think he's joking about suiciding when he says he scum reads Fire and would leave him. Don't think scum backs themselves into that corner when trading 1 for 1 for FB of all players isn't worth.

I'm keeping it very general. It's mostly your tone, how comfortable you are talking about mechanics, how much you try to pocket townies and point out towny things for towncred, how incisive your points are. This is the kind of thing I was townreading you for but it seems like you are equally capable of it as scum.

Well, their flips would assuredly improve my perception of the game.

I'm not confident that both
Vedith/Fire
are town/town, and I'll be a bit annoyed if they are.

I don't think
Vedith
was necessarily clashing with me, I interpreted it as him deflecting attention from his analysis. - - -
*sigh*


I thought I made myself extremely clear in but I don't think that's been acknowledged.

I think you and DT had good amounts of suspicion. Maybe you less so towards the end. I just don't remember Gamma be singled out as top scum read, I should go back and reread some stuff.

In post 4393, Taly wrote:Vedith only has 4 individual townreads in a game of 16 players left alive and we are nearing 5000 posts in, and the only town/town pair to him consists of the person who just got IC'ed.

The only scum/scum pair he has consists of who the IC pushed the most Pre-Dance. (Urist on Dann)

His townread on me is least understated or understood out of the entire playerlist since the strongest townreads on me are meta based and we haven't played before to my memory.
I mean Vedith should try to explain his reads, and I think he said he'd address them once he got to a computer, so we can wait for that.

I do think you're both being tripped up a bit because Vedith's play style is much more focused on find scum than find town
