In theory you should BP the most likely NK, taking both reads and reputation into account.

That’s almost impossible to know before any kills have happened?

If Nacho's BP you cant gleam info from that.
This idea that only nacho and RC are eligible for night 1 kills is deeply silly.

I agree

In post 274, Cephrir wrote: Yeah universal scumreads are never town :roll:
That's a silly counterargument. The real question is whether universal scumreads are more likely to be right than the aggregation of a bunch of individual townreads.

?
Much of your posts have some sort extraneous inclusion of RC and you even "called" him out before he started posting.
im guessing you havent played with rc before?
My point is that you seem to be actively trying to trigger RCs annoyances and with my limited experience of RC, he tends to make the game really unfun for a lot of people when he is pissed off, aka the "negative utility" of RC.

Like from the get go it isn't about you challenging RC's ideas or reads, you are preemptively challenging him the person. And we all have an idea of RC's style but its just going to reinforce the idea in RC that he is being treated unfairly due to his name, and I think everyone is aware that RC does not like being treated more harshly simply because he is RC.

Well, that's why I said in theory. The best BP is probably someone fairly widely townread who has a fairly strong reputation.

I definitely feel that if you're actively trying to make RC into a negative utility, you have higher scum equity than normal.

You literally do because you are aware of RC becoming negative utility if used correctly so unless you don't care about town's wincon you care.

And you are doing a piss poor job of ignoring RC if your first post in the game is calling out RC and many of your subsequent posts seem to be all about how nacho is better than rc because what I assume is previous experience, but you haven't actually challenged RC on a single idea.

Im not trying to converse with rc. My only question to him was because i wanted to know how he feels about nacho

And if the basis of your issue with a slot is about RC what happens then? I guess I'll keep it to myself for now but hello world!
