i agree, i'm quite anti-lolbus these days
problem is: if godmid/denmon is a mislynch you've opened yourself to a n1 kill which positions my slot awkwardly

if you're concerned about your read on me or my approach to the game i'd rather you talk through it rather than say "hmm maybe i townread tw too preemptively"
latter is only effectively rhetorically, and if you're not using it for positioning scum can
talking to me about your concerns is +sorting

I told you that you feel very content this game

and you told me it was because you
were
basically content

Like the positioning of saying that i need the towncred, and then like "I guess I don't hate greeting tell" into I'm going to vote there for the rest of the day and basically never argue with any of this idiot Person's reads

I'm feeling like I'm suffocating on pocket lint kinda

so help me work through that

sure, i guess the problem is you're explaining exactly how i feel and expecting it to play into a wolf agenda

this game has been fairly low content, so i haven't felt the need to heavily case and powertown. attempts to have real-time engagements have been (mostly) pretty quiet
you know i don't put much stock in holistic tells. you're welcome to use the greeting tell, and if it's >rand (75%+ scum) then i see no reason to bite people for using it. it's just slightly -fun imo which is why i generally don't go far down that rabbit hole

i think i scumcased the slots i'm scumreading outside of your greeting tell stuff and i feel better about us having reached the same conclusion given your scumcase sans greeting tell a couple of pages back

you have me pocketed irl so i do have constant internal anxiety abt townreading you

i'm also doing that 4 games at a time thing against my better judgement so my overall focus level is *slightly* lower
that mostly effects recall though so if i'm conspicuously forgetting something just lemme know

like I said, I think a red flip here basically clears you

Speaking of flips,

Unless Brass says otherwise, this day is ending early morning monday and Sunday is a holiday, so people shouldn't expect a lot of movement in the last 24 hours.

Basically, if anyone doesn't think Godmid is the right lynch today, they would be well advised to start pushing their pov asap

Also there's so much jargon being used. It takes me around 2 minutes to decipher any post that is made here, and half of them I don't understand

It’s something we all should be better at explaining, but ask anytime you want. When I started I def used the glossary in the mods tip post a lot.

ALso, it is courtesy to say:

Godmid is at L-1


So nobody can say the lolhammer was an accident.

Any posts you don't understand just quote them.

I'm happy to overexplain anything I've said, and any interactions I've had -- helps you get a better idea of what's going through my head + how I'm interpreting what the person I'm interacting with is saying.

This stuff will help you learn which is the #1 goal. But it can also help with the game at hand. So don't worry about posting a "the fuck are you guys waffling about?" :P

I haven’t actually checked but my guess is that if you go into completed newby games, the worst was a Town!IC (a special ‘teaching’ SE role that has since been retired) in game 1905. Choo choo I take as a reference to scum joining a town wagon. But I’m just sharing how I read this.

Ordinarily I’d scumread Sho as a reaction test but I feel pretty good about my early game read and think scum!sho doesn’t disappear like this. At least they didn’t as 3D party so I would say it is real life, but with the effect of strengthening rafher than weakening my gut.

Btw I’ll echo two and uraps thoughts on each other : I townread both, but I have seen both powerscum like this. For me their activity levels always merit a day one pass, and tbh I’m quite comfortable with BoPing them as the game progresses.

*BoP=burden of proficiency. If a good and widely townread player makes it to lylo without having driven a scum lynch, that should be cause for re-evaluation. Some treat this as a fallacy, I treat it as fair. Ymmv.

the three of us played a game where TW was scum and railroaded a lynch through in a couple hours. Shoshin was in the game as well, but never got the opportunity to post.

Urist was saying that TW didn't feel like he did in that game.

Thanks for the explanations cleared up a lot of confusion.
Also vote count seems glitched up.
