Micro 857: Burden of Proficiency Mafia

[Aubrey]

Hot damn. 5 pages in already. Hi u2! Hi shoshin!

yoooooo

I like you more when you can't be scum ;P

[RadiantCowbells]

don't think I've ever heard of someone with better D1 reads than later.

thats me

[Aubrey]

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.

You kicked ass in our last game...but this is a whole new ball game. Let’s focus here.

Hmm, not sure if RC's paranoia is fake or real. He knows at this point that he's paranoid of me every game but this seems a bit too soon for it, plus I feel like he'd probably wouldn't be coming after me like this so early.

VOTE: Shoshin

I've seen enough.

RC why did you quickvote

[u r a person 2]

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.

well, you can go through my small sample size of games if you want, but you'll find that statistically I do

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.

I have. It happens more when you doubt yourself or overnight yourself.

I think it happens because as the game goes on town slots get scummier

The problem can't be with my play ;P

[u r a person 2]

For real tho, I think it happens because I catch the obv scum D1 and the other scum is better and/or becomes more acclimated to the game state and how people are forming reads

RC why did you quickvote

she pushed on me page 1
she later claimed she wasn't actually pushing on me page 1

[singletonking]

That's a good reason for a scumread
Why the vote though?

[Aubrey]

If I hadn't lost internet, we win the geriatric game 100% of the time.

but it did and victory was ours. Lmao.

[RadiantCowbells]

because I felt that allowing her to push on me and establish a dominant position would end in her successfully mislynching me. also I was pissed off.

[u r a person 2]

How are you reading shoshin now, RC?

[RadiantCowbells]

no comment.

[Aubrey]

U2 where do you stand so far? I’ve glossed over the past pages so apologies if I missed anything that would answer my question.

[RadiantCowbells]

he thinks that me/shoshin are town and that scum are the lurkers stk and ms

[u r a person 2]

From order of town to scum, my reads go

RC
Shoshin
Singleton, Michael Scott

[Shoshin]

How is RC townier than me?

[RadiantCowbells]

feel like I objectively am?

[Shoshin]

Really? The first time I played with you, you got super paranoid when I townread you early...

[Aubrey]

Oh. I thought he dismissively said it could be a possibility. K.

Thanks.

[RadiantCowbells]

if i'm paranoid about it I think that expressing that paranoia right now is unsafe because he townreads me and my standing in town isn't good enough to make an unnecessary enemy.

For like the third time, I think

I am able to get my head around his early progression and the thought process behind it. It was more convoluted than I would expect from page 1 scum

and while I imagine town!you can make that replace out comment, I can see it as a scum response. Now, I'm also getting a hard nosed feel from you that feels like the vague conception of town!shoshin that I have, and that feeling came through the whole of our earlier convo as well as this repetitive question now, so I think you're town

but there's the diff

[RadiantCowbells]

if i'm paranoid about it I think that expressing that paranoia right now is unsafe because he townreads me and my standing in town isn't good enough to make an unnecessary enemy.

if you need an example of this type of thought process from me, look no further than my 'townread' on northsidegal in xyzzy's game.
