That admittedly diminishes the chances of both Pooky and Noraa being scum to damn near nothing (scum team would need absurd confidence or to be riddled with morons), because a quick skim doesn't show Pooky even HINTING at hitting the brakes until after LLD calls time. Call it flip dependent -- but I'm MUCH more likely to call Noraa town than Pooky here.
I think that scum is far more likely to bus than give the scroll to a teammate but I agree with you and not LLD about an uncontested wagon. Unless you get a slot that is pretty close to lockscum, which however bad Noraa’s takes/reads/etc. have been, she clearly isn’t, that slot is more likely to be town in general but I don’t play in a lot of larges, so that could affect things.
I don’t think that Noraa is obvscum here but I think it might take something close to a miracle from her to save her and based off of her own self-meta, that isn’t very likely to happen today, because according to her, her play/reads improve dramatically late game.
I ISO’d a Noraa town and scumgame and noticed that town!Noraa tends to be more jokey and casual compared to her scumgame where she was dead serious, so I think Tayl0r’s not wrong that the best way to sort Nora is if she has space to do that.
What is obviously problematic is that she has admitted to faking townslips in all of her scumgames, which is the mainreason I think she is in this situation.
Now, I almost never do that. If I derp as any alignment, it’s almost always legit but I actually had to look up the OP to realize thar there were actually 5 scum and not 4, eventhough with a playerlist this size, you might obviously expect that.
So that’s the problem for me. This is a very believable slip but with a player who admits to faking slips in every scumgame, how do you reconcile that?
