i'm like firmly in my current townrage and very distinct from my recent scumrange - if you think i needed to tryhard at a playerlist like this instead of doing what i normally do at a PL with players i know you're trolling.

More questions than solid statements(attempting to appear "uninformed" via trying to informatively look like she needs to ask about everything - hides in catchups to avoid pressure - no fire in their play, this *is* present when they are town. (hard to quantify - its more of gut thing than anything that is felt )
I think that if Kyouko is able to radiate Town behaviour without even knowing that they are under pressure to do so, then that is a plus. (Of course, I am willing to accept that scum!Kyouko would see that they are under pressure, so would know to act more towny than usual, but that comes with its' own problem of trying to act town while not being town, a known hard problem)

Could you clear up what "No fire in their play" means? I don't understand that.

I think this could go either way. Town can ask a lot of questions because they are uninformed, or scum can ask a lot of questions to look uninformed.

I'm going to just stop arguing with you. You seem to be saying "I am not and can never be wrong", so there's no point in trying to change your mind there. You won't accept a good argument even if it was made, because you have it in your head that you can't be wrong, and no amount of argument in the world will change someone's mind if they decided that they are right.

You say this after providing shitargument after shitargument - like the v/la nonsense.

I will just say it, I have better accuracy and if you are town you would just sheep someone who has a proven track record of 100% reading someone as my claim is just as good as a tracker guilty.

I would tend to agree. Their arrogance here along with boxing themselves into a "I'm right and you're wrong" fortress would come from a town player.

if you take a look at the 3 games i linked of kyouko and I's you see that I have her number at this point as both alignments and it wasn't just a fluke.

Here’s my take - the reason I haven’t defended Kyouko aggressively despite seriously questioning Koba is because if I’m wrong about Koba (and I can be - Koba is notoriously hard to read) is because Kyouko admitted that Koba has their number, and yet they’re not screaming
hard
to get Koba executed. There’s not a whole lot of outrage in or for example. Just some surprise, a rather meek admission that Koba does have Kyouko’s number, and some strategic discussion about how Koba might go about using their 100% read rate to their advantage as Scum.

I am comfortable applying the burden of proficiency standard to a select
few
players. The number is small, and since I haven’t played here enough most of those players are in the old forum I used to play in. Koba is in that list. I have a feeling Kyouko agrees that the standard should apply to Koba too. If that’s indeed the case, then why aren’t they more outraged that Koba is reading them wrong and hard dunking on them? And why are they letting me take all the heat here? I’ve been in games with players I know can easily tell when I’m Town. I know how that feels like. And when they’re hedging on my slot (and I’m acting like my usual Town self), or even worse, calling me Scum, I obviously get suspicious. I’m always skeptical even if you have me right, but with some players it becomes more obvious when they should be reading you correctly but aren’t.

At the same time, I have seen Koba get some things wrong (of course, none of us are perfect). But after screaming this loud for an execution? I think that’s maybe a bit rare. If we flip Kyouko, and they flip Scum, Koba is going to get NK’ed and well, that’ll be that. But if they’re wrong? Then what? That’s going to be hard. What I’ve done in the past in situations like this is advocated for the “1v1” to get sorted, and go from there. I don’t know that I’m the one who should be making this argument. But I think it should be considered.
this is pretty bad, especially in a Koba-Kyouko TvT world.

This looks weird to me, anyon eplayed with Ranny before? It feels like the classic "fairish" scumtell, also the words dont seem to match the intent.

Like what is expected here Ranny? What do you expect Andre's to say and what do you get from that? This feels snipish.
agree that is a bit odd from Ranny.

have read the Kyouko-iso - not much there to get excited about. could be scum (koba's observations seem fair - lack of town fire, catching up a bit of a toil, although none of those are hard tells for me in isolation). I can get why koba would want to elim there if the meta fits, but compared to the field I don't think Kyouko is top tier scummy or a priority elim today.

that's exactly what i was implying. or to frame it differently, if scum aren't doing that, it's a strategic error.

in essence, it's saying:

Flip Kyouko today. if town, flip Koba tomorrow. potentially setting up multiple mis-elims, under the guise of "dkkoba is always right".

more generally, selectively applying 'burden of proficiency' is a real easy mafia tactic. would be interesting to know if the consensus/evidence from past games is that andres does hold koba in such high esteem.
