what does that tell you about testarossa
Testa feels like they're cautiously solving. Their posts feel analytical which fits with how I approach in not being overly eager to commit.

Pedit: thats not an unfair characterization. Sometimes I leave notes to myself of things that jump out that become ingredients of analysis later.

This meta conversation is an easy way to inflate lost count and look active. It may also be something that someone does stylistically. Look games of imperfect information are pretty difficult to play.

Day 1 I'm primarily looking for reads progressions that seem more shaped by external circumstances than a logical thought process. This felt more shaped by external circumstances. Later votes sort of went that direction as well.

If thats whats happening hes pocketing quite a few people. You, VP, Koba. I mean he found a way to get back onto icon so you may be right though.

Why are you giving towncredit to an *experienced* player who doesn't seem to know how many scum are to be expected in 13 players?
I didnt realize how experienced they were at the time (the account creation date was only 6 months old). And come on man, don't be a dick. Respect their pronouns.

But these answers effectively explain it. I know you normally weight slips which is why i was curious.

I lied. I'm just going to skip breakfast and do this catch up now.
In post 828, Testarossa wrote:but after the wagon I am not so sure what to think of it. It kind of happened a bit too fast for my liking. But I am a bit at a loss because I am town or null on all on the wagon.
This is my point. The speed of the wagon doesn't matter if literally everyone on it is town. We shouldn't be afraid to be right. Speed wagons that form on scum are actually super powerful because they put the scum in a bad position without a calculated response. I completely think snow is the right play and the counter wagon on testarossa is going to yield a ton of information upon flip.
In post 834, DkKoba wrote:also if u think in a game with 3 scum with so many v high energy players that at the very least snow!scum wouldnt be at the very least be coached in scum chat rn, then thats absurd.
Ah, this explains what you said above perhaps. Maybe I'm out of practice here. Is scum day chat a pretty standard function? I did have it in my last couple scum games, but there seemed to be theme/setup reasons in those games for that to exist. I wouldn't have assumed all normal games have scum day chat. What's site meta currently?



Koba and Aldsukkel are probably the worst of the testarossa votes, imo.

I actually lied, Janks vote is bad too.

There's almost no explanation of this wagon other than "tess uses a lot of words' and "I don't like snow wagon"

In post 637, Andresvmb wrote:So why have you decided each and every time to attack the players who seem to have more openly suspected you early in the game, to the point where you’ve placed three different votes on those three different players? Could it be because you take votes as personal slights as Town and feel like you should push all those players?
Because I felt (still do) the pushes were made up, and were based on wrong/terrible/faked reasoning. Take your pick. I fought NPOW over his actions. Guess what. We ended up townreading each other (degrees may vary).

I fought VP. From the way he handled my slot the day after our fight I ended up townreading him. I made a post on the why exactly earlier.

Then when my wagon was dying, Dkkoba joins the game and has this bitch ass attitude towards everyone and refused to explain his reads/votes.
So I ended up fighting him. Difference here is that I don't townread him after our discussion. His motivation for this fight is scum.

Your presumption that me pushing back against people who push me is scum-motivated is simply wrong.
Given NPOM's progressions why are they above null? I get that its weak, but this is the read im not getting from you.

I think the reason I'm tring snow is that she seems like she'a actually introspecting and also that she seems focused on things that people who are solving tend to be focused on

say it w ur vote if u think im so scummy.

deadass ur analysis of the reasoning behind testa being voted is v reductionary and glosses over the active lurking post style and IIoA. u think that makes them blatant town??

In post 697, VP Baltar wrote: How is anyone seeing this as town?

1) complains about getting wagoned when never facing any actual pressure
2) says she can't scumhunt rn because it's D1
3) THEN says she's definitely not being useless, despite just saying she's not pushing the game forward.
4) then says "jk if I am useless, it's not AI"

Where are your reads at? I feel like Koba, NPOM, Icon, Datisi and probably Amdres have generated enough content that you should have some reads there. Where you at?

UNVOTE:
VOTE: snowblaze
Complaining about being wagoned is NAI. I just hate it as either alignment.

I never said I couldn't scumhunt because it's day one, I said I don't usually have strong scumreads on day one. That doesn't mean I'm not scumhunting.

And, you know, I'm not being useless. I'm engaging with people, I'm giving reads, I'm looking at things that interest me. That is not useless.

I do think that being useless to town is NAI, yes. Scum can make themselves useful, town can not be useful. It depends a lot more on the player than their alignment.
