Micro 857: Burden of Proficiency Mafia

[Shoshin]

How well do you know each other?

I know him better than anyone else in this game, I think.

[Shoshin]

Of the three active posters I've played with before, I trust Urap over either of you.

Based on the games I've had with U2, my reads are more trustworthy than his. Aubrey can back this up.

[Shoshin]

I'm reading him on tone, mostly ;P

but his progression, outlined first in the few posts after your entrance, was both convoluted and coherent

I don't see how you're getting town out of this.

[Shoshin]

what changed your mind on me?

A break from the game, and some thinking about your play. I don't think you'd alienate me this much as scum. You want me to locktown you, not hate you while feeling unable to tell if you're faking this paranoia or not (still can't tell if you're being real but I don't think you do this either way as scum).

[Aubrey]

If you're actually town, I'm replacing out of this RC.

Town ping.

I dunno my D1 accuracy is consistently a strong suit in my games

Maybe it's controversial, but I think I generally see town players more likely to go down convoluted rabbit holes - think tin foil hat reads

Town ping.

interesting, why?

[Shoshin]

You basically threw a game I had solved for you on D1, U2. Not to mention the other game town lost before I even had a chance to post. Not sure why you'd think your reads are better than mine if you're doing worse in the games we have together.

Still catching up.

I don’t see scum getting pissy and saying that personally. Seems more likely to come from town anger to me.

Hey, now we had the same poe at the beginning of D2

And then things happened

And I agree, I have bad reads generally post d1, but my D1 statistics are actually pretty darn good. Not really trying to discredit your reads, because I frankly have no real understanding of your game, but I'm prideful enough to push back on you there.

And the second game you're referencing happened very quickly, and I while I ended up on the D1 wagon, I was not in support of either lynch occurring. Basically, I'm saying you are looking at a small and awful sample of my play.

[u r a person 2]

I think there's a pretty good chance that lynching either slot currently at 0 posts wins the game, tbh

[u r a person 2]

oh you were also the other half of TW in that starcraft game, weren't you?

[Shoshin]

Have you rolled scum yet, U2?

[Shoshin]

That hydra was almost entirely the worst. I barely read that game because my internet broke just as it was getting going (that's what I disappeared from the geriatric as well).

[u r a person 2]

Yup it's on my wiki

oh is that right? I think I remember that from the post game. Yeah, that was part of what derailed that game, but I'm not trying to assign blame. shit happens.

per sc2, You guys not signing your posts makes it tough for me to remember either of your styles as individuals, anyway so it's whatever

[Shoshin]

If I hadn't lost internet, we win the geriatric game 100% of the time. But it's okay. I liked your play there by the way, not saying you're a bad player. I just don't think you can say your reads are better than mine.

Almost all posts in Starcarft were the worst. The few that were me were really obviously me.

[Shoshin]

I tend to have better reads as the game develops, don't think I've ever heard of someone with better D1 reads than later.

[singletonking]

Hi.

Everyone, which of the two lurkers would you rather lynch right now?

[Shoshin]

Michael Scott.

[Shoshin]

I just realized I have 100% accuracy reading every player in this game in the past. So I'm feeling pretty good about this.

[Aubrey]

i dearly hope town wins and paragons lose

Part of me wants to town ping this silly remark.

yeah i agree - because we lynch the poe instead of you d2

but like i said things, like your connection failing, happened. Again, I'm really just pushing back on the characterization of my reads because when I get a scum read I like I'm going to push it, and I don't need to have been portrayed as having bad reads. I'm not trying to make any sort of judgement on your skill or ability to make reads.

[Aubrey]

I’m tired of reading this idea that Paragons are going to just pick RC because he has a history. I’m not going to do that. If he does scummy shit, yea I’ll be nominating him. But voting someone because they solely have a rep is poor judgment.
