I've been SL or SR-ing Cook for almost the whole game and Cook hasn't done anything to make me change my mind.In post 1018, NorwegianboyEE wrote:What's everyone's read on Cook?
Did Val do something particularly towny that made you change your mind, or is Val towny more by PoE based on the association reads?

If I had to say at gun point, probably Val89 or TF3, considering the really unnatural pocketing you did, it also doesn't have to be for reasons of: "let me pocket you so we can hammer James". It could just be used for later on. Regarding you're 219, surely the opposite is true also? Just because they agree with you doesn't make them town, even more reason which you've provided yourself as to how nonsense your early town cred giving to Val89 was.All being said though I do find your 1-6 point argument really compelling.In post 636, JamesTheNames wrote:I thought you were scummier.

In terms of T3's post regarding the "circumstances" of the read on Cook, 6 minutes before claiming Cook was town, T3 said he was going to reread Cook's ISO. So, I'd presume he found something in there to change his mind...? But the ISO does nothing for me, especially with Cook's wagon hopping action.
I'm not entirely sure that T3 and Cook would be a scum pair, Cook's plays to me suggest a scum pair more than T3's plays do, but I don't think its likely. I think more likely is T3 playing off of Cook being town due to T3 having scum knowledge.
Regarding his parter, I can see GrandpaMo as the partner, for reasons I think I brought up much earlier, which haven't changed, but that mainly stemmed from GrandpaMo flipping red first instead of T3. If T3 flips red first I don't think I can say for sure its GrandpaMo, but considering we'd be 1 scum less, push comes to shove I'd vote to hammer GrandpaMo day 3.
Regarding Val, I do think in my early Day 1 targetting of him may have actually been spurred on by stubbornness more than a concrete point. I think in terms of intent his is the simplest, "all cards on the table" type of scum hunting. For you alstro, I think just because you have more experience the way you scum hunt seems a bit less so? I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense. For NorweiganboyEE, I do think he is scum hunting, but of course with a less of an "all cards on the table" vibe.
