... Is Gamma the kind of player you expect would directly engage someone first before making a read though?

He pointed out that Thor's interactions were a highlight before admitting to the scumread, doesn't that indicate some level of organic thought? The way you phrased this makes his actions seem much more aggressive wrt attacking Thor and refusing to engage.

-Harvey
you're assigning a lot to my words here!

i am pretty sure gamma doesn't actually scumread thor
where are you getting the idea that I thought Gamma was aggressively avoidant? where are you getting the idea that i think gamma is attacking Thor?

the bit i can respond to:
... Is Gamma the kind of player you expect would directly engage someone first before making a read though?
:shrug:
sometimes he does, sometimes he does not
it struck me as interesting that thor's interactions were his highlight despite not being a part of said interactions. made me think gamma is more likely building to something. it's a tell that gamma is playing, not an alignment tell.

But what I do have are the draft numbers selected by 45 scum across 15 games:

1 - xxxxxxxxx
2 - xxx
3 - xxx
4 - xxxx
5 - xxxx
6 - xxxx
7 - x
8 - xxxx
9 - x
10 - xx
11 - xx
12 - x
13 - x
15 - x
20 - x
22 - x
42 - xx
413 - x

As well as Titus, it probably makes Harvey and Haley town as well, scum really don't seem to like going for high or meme numbers; 69 would be the second highest on this list

The phrasing of your post? Unless s/o doesn't mean... oh wait, "shout out" :x

"after completely non-interacting with thor"
"not actually being able to state any opinions"

Tho tbh I feel like Thor has been looking like he’s generating content but it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere, mostly regarding draft numbers
So yeah tw was right the read was just waiting to be realized

42 might be a meme number
413 definitely is a meme number

For what, those being meme numbers?
42 is a meme from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and 413 is a meme number from Homestuck

i'm pretty disinterested in this part of the solving process but friendly reminder, anyone who picked higher than ~12 is probably trying to tank the top draft positions.

pedit:
@harvey i don't really feel compelled to vote you guys.
first instinct is that your misread of my post is an authentic misread ~60% of the time and trying to look busy like ~40% of the time. i'm just like, really confused by how you actually got there. i'll meditate on it later.

that's probably better said backwards: anyone who picks higher than ~12 isn't going for one of the top draft positions. when you're counting scum strategy, i'm not sure whether it's meaningful analysing meme picks in isolation, rather than putting meme picks + deliberately high picks together.

I guess that's true; it's kind of a safety play to guarantee a middle position (well, "guarantee"... rip).

Why did no one pick 1 or 2 if no one else was going for it btw? I went for 11 because it's my favourite number but I would've gone for 1/2 to secure first place had I known
