Scoring in go is quite a big subject. There are two different ways of doing it and the easiest way to explain it in person is often showing. One of the skills for in person scoring is reshaping groups so make easy to count territories without changing the size of the territory from the game.

eh this is why i said a long time ago that i didn't think seeing his response to pressure was going to be that useful -- he responded to pressure in pretty much the same way in both his scum and town games (basically like this, pretty nonchalant)In post 1166, MalcolmTucker wrote:

That's fair enough, I obviously don't have the advantage of a meta on him yet.In post 1176, fireisredsir wrote:

my lukewarm take is that those returning posts from wu are not townie at all, and in fact might even be scum!indicative considering they're a half-baked take that don't seem to be applicable to the game (or like, that he's not applying) and a fencesit read on nero
but something something bigger scum to fry very little info etcI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- DeasVail

I may have more to say on Monkey later, but fua asked about why I scumread Nord over monkey and I think a key difference for me is that monkey is that I get the impression monkey believes what they are saying while Nord doesn’t. I also kind of liked 518 because it was entitled in a way that I think is more common from town.
I haven’t fully processed Datisi’s recent posts, but a few things. I’m influenced by Ari’s strong townread of Datisi, which I think is worth giving some value to. I think the vote on Nordom would be a bit strange from Datisi-scum (exception is if scum with Nord, but as a general rule at this stage of the game I tend to read people on the assumption of others being town). The waffly comment on me in 348 feels like something Datisi would just decide to not say as scum because it doesn’t add anything but is a thought I could see Datisi having as town.- DeasVail

ok for those interested in meta, i looked more at wu past games and he did disappear for 2 days while he was the top wagon as scum, so there's that.
but then also found this quote from datisi about wu in a game where wu was town:
no major conclusions here just fun factsI'm not exactly worried about him not having read the game, like if he just popped in, said "lmao you post a lot i'm busy catch yall later" and left i wouldn't really care for it?
but like he got in, said that he hasn't had the chance to read, but then he's making comments about unimportant things like "if i had a mafia partner who wanted to die, i would kill them and claim vigilante" and "on a different website i randed scum more than town" which like
why?
like i get it could be a personality trait or wtv but it just seems like something more likely to come from scum wanting to appear more active and engaged than they actually are- VP Baltar

I do have to think about this though.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Which posts from HEM gave you that impression? I thought the ‘I have a life outside of this’ argument is AtE and NAI.In post 1179, DeasVail wrote:I may have more to say on Monkey later, but fua asked about why I scumread Nord over monkey and I think a key difference for me is that monkey is that I get the impression monkey believes what they are saying while Nord doesn’t.

Vote Wu or HEM.In post 1190, tenebrousluminary wrote:Perhaps I am able to ascertain why you'd think that. You may have a point.
VOTE: Dragons
Large games should consolidate D1 as fast as possible or we will end up at 100+ pages for D1 and that's just annoying later in the game.YOUR AD HERE- tenebrousluminary

That's not Wu or HEM.In post 1192, tenebrousluminary wrote:I don't want to right now. If you want me to consider a popular vote target, wait for Nordom's replacement.
Large games are about compromise early on and moving things forward. We will get more info out of running up these Jabronis than we will out of you single voting dragons.

at first i was like HEM's "lol" post looked like deflectionIn post 1105, skitter30 wrote:Hey this is a spicy take, can you elaborate a bit on why you find ari worse than hem?
but then when i saw the arguments recently, i thought ari was being a little unreasonable. i felt HEM asking for elaboration on the entire list was fine while Ari said things like "pick one" which seems like a way of saying "ha you didn't do what i asked you to do, you're being unreasonable" it was kind of the way it was said too
i think the arguments like "you ghosted the thread" and "you didn't pick up on my "trapcard" read of STD" aren't super meaty either.aka Fenrir - Save The Dragons
