open 841: concgratulations to the winners and losers

[Faker]

Pooky if you actually want to engage on that vote you should give something. I do not think you understood what I was doing in the Mini Normal and am very convinced you took the wrong lessons from it.

I'm not going to do historical analysis and lecture you again, but I am very confident you do not know how to read me and you should dialogue about the present.

[innocentvillager]

I thought my spiel about scum aiming for high in the draft was really pushing it but there are some real crackpot theories in the first 10 pages. innocentvillager's 8/9 theory is the type of thing you normally hear after a long night of gardening at the Delta Tau Chi house.

looool I’m not even offended

[Faker]

thus far i like andante and dats
and maybe faker iv and mare

pings on midwaybear
and i'm still somewhat suspicious of catboi's 21 but he obviously isn't super into the game yet so idk we'll see. the sleepless vote was a good point tho

This was generally a good set of reads though I'm less sure of iv/mare. I didn't like midway's focus on just the doubles.

[Andante]

I think Mare is coming off worse here mostly because I don't get why she's this up in arms over disagreement on a read ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm confused why mare made a huge deal over "OMG Cake is slow at catching up!!" like, ok... who cares how long it takes cake? There's plenty of people around now, like interact with people, don't just go "I hate people catching up!!"

[innocentvillager]

mare seems tonally town I’m ok with not touching that slot for d1

[Andante]

You're just jealous cause you were bottom of the draft

I literally spent the entirety of the last PYP game I played correctly calling the top drafter scum

ahhh I see, so the plan is to just call me scum in hopes I flip scum, so that you can then go "I have a 100% success rate at catching scum based on draft order!" only issue with that plan is I'm not scum lol

Why are you assuming he's saying this to you as town?

Everyone here is town until I'm convinced otherwise? I don't see the problem

[SirCakez]

Agree with the Andante townreads. I saw one post that I don't think she makes as maf.
I also agree with skitter that catboi's townread on me is a bit TMI. I am not sure how confident catboi normally is though.
UNVOTE:

ok so my vote here is still fine

(internal monologue: surely skitter does not crash her ship into the rock of "you feel off this game" twice in a row, right...?)

IV you scumfuck how are you still alive

Yeah there's no way I can read all this any time soon.

V/LA until Thursday

uhhh this thread will at least triple in size by thursday...

Unless we speed yeet Cakez

no bother someone else I am busy unlike you mafia addicts

[SirCakez]

catboi may be scum but I am scared because everytime I read this person it's literally rolling a slot machine

[Andante]

is it time to restart the animal police department to get some civility back

Not gonna lie, I'm really thinking pooky maf this game, so then dats is town cause maf is not sharing a number

[Faker]

Skimming through 9:12 maybe I'm wrong to be skeptical of IV's lines about not being this way as scum. I don't have time to go too indepth but there's a focus on buddying/easy reads, here seems a bit more freewheeling and discursive.

[Andante]

catboi may be scum but I am scared because everytime I read this person it's literally rolling a slot machine

uhhh I don't think he's scum yet, like obviously I'm no expert at reading him, but at this moment, I think he leans town

[Something_Smart]

pretty sure this time the top drafter isn't

maybe not, but one of the high drafters probably is.

[Andante]

VOTE: Pooky

[Something_Smart]

i'm p confident i picked 42 as scum 2x so i think you're missing one of htose games / my pick in one of those games

I don't think I included the Venrob's PYP one, you're right.

[SirCakez]

aha someone felt the same thing!! a good sign!

I'm not sure mindmeld works when the explanation for the read is just "feeling"...

what I meant is pretty obvious dawg

cakez's wallposts give a townie aura

i have nothing concrete to back that up with

you trying to pocket me bruv?

you can't pocket sircakes

the dude starts in my pocket and i'm never letting him go

lol no you're my top scumread
DIE BEAR DIE

That was the doubt I had but she keeps doing the thing where her reasons for suspecting me keep changing after they become invalid and so I'm tilting my head to the side and going "really"? at the stuff she's saying

It is possible i'm tunneling-ish a bit
UNVOTE:

Dont really have thoughts on cakez, its kinda meh but nai imo

this is weird I feel u usually have thoughts on me quite quickly

[Andante]

pretty sure this time the top drafter isn't

maybe not, but one of the high drafters probably is.

I mean, Pooky picked 1.. intended to be top of the draft

I've never seen you be so happy/pleasant b4

what's up with that?

[On IV's massclaim suggestion]

Doesn't "help" but the mindset is almost always town driven because scum are never going to be so bold as to suggest the idea if they believe it to be a pro-scum move, as doing so just draws negative attention to them and is unlikely to get cooperation. Way more likely to get floated by town who are trying to experiment - don't think I've ever seen scum propose it, actually. (day 1 mass is more viable in a cosed setup, in here it's pointless and bad)

Look at the motivations, not whether the suggestion is helpful/unhelpful

Can you weigh in more specifically on the fact that it was IV who suggested it? My impression of IV has been that he is in fact not the strongest mechanically, but he's got to at least have some positives in mind before suggesting it. I definitely think he is capable of doing "dumb" suggestions like that as scum hoping it will get townread for exactly that reason.

[Andante]

I feel good about skitter, I really do, I don't think Pooky has 1 post of game related content, picked 1... ummm yeah I'm good with voting pooky for now, not like I have a reason to not vote here

it's just random spamming type posts. Pooky, who's maf?

[Faker]

I've never seen you be so happy/pleasant b4

what's up with that?

Finally rolled mafia.

The real answer is both that Faker was actually meant to be a bit more congenial/personable, and I'm stressed enough in real life that I don't really want to stress over mafia.

I intentionally sat back and decided that for once I wouldn't strive to be the absolute best player at the table but settle for improving myself and maybe trying my hand at the puzzle aspect, which I historically do not care about or enjoy in the slightest except as a means to an end.

VOTE: innocentvillager

maybe I should just sheep Datisi would have made last time a lot better

Not really thrilled with skitter's start. I instinctively did not like the statements about catboi and IV, and checked it against several games but it doesn't line up with any she's played with me as either alignment.

VOTE: Mare

Meh.

how does this vote parse with you criticizing Skitter's opening?

VOTE: SirCakez

also im happy to slapfight you again if you want

VOTE: skitter

Hi everyone. I pretty much agree with Datisi’s thoughts on flow trap not being w/w with SS. It is more likely than not that scum has someone who was aware of SS pattern, but not guaranteed. Having meta numbers seems a little broken lol

this post kinda bothers me tonally. it feels too agreeable (ok and not just because they said I agree with Datisi)

but why?
