Wait, so having a strong understanding of what's happened so far in the game is SCUMMY to you? lol

Is this a common belief?
Having a good understanding of the game state this early on points to informed knowledge. yes - that's weird.
okay cool, I'll only skim and take in the bare minimum needed to process what's going on :)

because that's what i said :roll:
I think what you said feels off from you
why do you think gamestate knowledge this early is scummy

also I wouldn't even call what I was talking about that frogster took issue with gamestate awareness, it was just a post that I read
~GE
because early game is lowinfo? like is that a real question?

I wasn't referring to whatever "frogster took issue with" - I was making a general point.

Penguin, I think your point makes sense in a general statement context.

But frogster's example was that OTH was aware of the C+G hydra having a posting restriction.

So I don't think it makes sense in this specific case

Which. Frogster apparently read enough of c+g to find them suspicious but not enough to realize they had a posting restriction
