Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You really need to stop doing this lol. Everytime a few people will notice you locktown people that havent posted and then I just have to defend you for the rest of the game over that nonsense.
Just want to say i like this post from them though.

In your posts where you call Nero defensive and not playing to his town meta. Etc, which i think you're wrong about.

"Felt like he was trying too hard to find a way to do that".
I think rather than considering if Nero is playing to his town meta you just took this post as a proof he was simply "trying" to emulate his town meta. Which is sign of the overconfidence i was talking about.

I have to check my own biases b/c I often think that Vecna says silly things and I scumread him for them. I still don't like how he's trying to argue that my wasn't genuine and it feels like he's trying to shut down game advancing content. His huffing and puffing that I'm scummy but not wanting to vote me today feels hedgey.

In post 347, Morning Mage wrote:I *think* I read a Nero game where he was less emotional/aggressive and more on the sidelines. He was a 1-shot scum BP in that one.

I just faintly recall him being less fight-y and more laidback.

Slight scum ping. Could be wrong.
Kind of like this because it's the opposite of tryhard/showy. I guess Bell not trying to explain it seems towny since town doesn't always know how to explain reads but scum mostly just wants to look good

Can confirm; I know Nero's scum meta and this isn't it.

Hi, Menalque!

I don't have any real scumreads tho I'll probably give a gut-shot-in-the-dark-basically-rvs-best-guess vote on Battle Mage, and by and large there's less slots that I have reads on than I'd prefer, but I think the game can get much closer to solved by townhunting here. Or in the case of some slots, a scumread on them by virtue of not having a townread on them.

Will give a readslist momentarily to demonstrate it.
Just Battle Mage? what am I, chopped liver? (-ω-)

woah !!

Why are Titus and samantha on the same tier as Nero and Vecna? That's an actual crime

Oh masonbuddy, of course. And samantha gave you overwhelming town-vibes. i can respect that i suppose
In post 503, NorwegianboyEE wrote: Dunno how i feel about early big reads lists as it comes off as a bit Lamist. And some of thos reads seem like they’re just tossed in there.
I have heard mastina likes to make giant wallposts. I wonder if early big ol readslists are also a regular feature of her gameplay. Normally I might agree but I feel like this might be NAI in her meta.

Superbowl is getting talked about a lot. He's more jokey than I remember in our previous game together, I agree with Nero.
In post 491, mastina wrote:The superbowl9 read comes from more or less a very strong overwhelming feeling of gut-town, basically, in thinking overwhelmingly, "I don't see scum doing this, especially not newbscum". That sort of audacity just radiates town to me. I don't have any familiarity with superbowl9, but it's just the sort of thing that feels town. If I were to have a locktown read be wrong, it'd be this one, obviously, but I don't think it is wrong because I think that the call to locktown the slot is justified.
I see. I was unaware that superbowl is newbscum -- but I suppose he hasn't been playing for a while despite the join date.

I am curious, how often do you end up having to overturn your locktowns? Sometimes I get really good feels early but I feel too hesistant to call people fully "locktown" without flips. At the moment, Nero is my closest. i feel very empowered by others saying this is his town meta

This is Nero's town meta, so no on that.
I'll admit that I'm not absolutely sure Almost50's town but I do lean that way, too.

But, would listen on Norwee since that's not a slot I know well. :P
Mena scumreads me when i’m town every game so not the best place to look for advice on me.
mena scumreads me every game too so I know how you feel.
nero, correct me if I'm wrong here, but haven't we only ever played one game together?
