How do you propose that I, as a VT, become 100% confident in a read? I don't think it's a contradictory notion at all. I have a scumread I want to go after. I don't really trust anyone else to make the right call. That may be hypocritical, seeing as it's not like I've been great this game. But I like the idea more than waiting for someone else to make a move.In post 1943, Three wrote:If you're town and you know you could be wrong and still want to instantly vote in ELo, then I'm sorry, but that's poor town play and you're just contradicting yourself.
Of course, that doesn't mean I'm ever going to be completely confident. That's just not how the game works. Unless you're a PR with mechanical info there's always going to be uncertainty.
No, because the entire rationale you have given above is "If you do this thing, it is bad play if you are town. No town could ever think differently than I do, so you are scummy."No one's saying you have to play in a certain ideal way. But do you really think the things you're saying don't read as scummy? Even a little bit?
Which ignores the idea that I clearly don't view the game in the same weird terms you do, given that I can't even make sense of what you're demanding of me.
Just lay out what you think the model little townie is supposed to do, because clearly I don't understand how to play the game, at least in your eyes.
