I did a Google search and these numbers seem important to Lost.

Any suggestions Lost nerds?

I can vibe with a town roden for now

Esp with his interactions with Ceph

It feels like he’s trying to solve that slot

I've heard he has actually been doing a lot better than his previous meta.
Then neither of you read Schadd’s last game where he was one of the main reasons we lost,
Wow - almost like one game doesn't define a player....almost.
Wow, like he did the exact same thing to another player before me - also deathtunnelled them for some ridiculous reason and obviously didn’t learn anything from that.
Every player has at least 1 bad scum read in literally ever single game that they play in.

Sounds to me like you just take it personally when someone incorrectly scum reads you, to the point of dragging it into different games. (This is not even the first time you have brought that game up)

I would very much prefer you not use this game as a place to bad mouth other players abilities where they are unable to comment to defend themselves.

So, I am asking you to please drop this conversation.
Sorry, I’m still salty over that game but fine.

I just want to add it involved a helluva a lot more than a bad sr ftr, I’m talking about a relentless deathtunnel based off a single nai post, so not really the same thing at all but dropping it now, okay? :good:

Disappointing
stop agreeing with me then.
You have Ceph in the wrong place, Bell probably too high for what he's done in this game, and there is still no best bird on this player list, Ducky ain't playing.
Happy to hear about Ceph and Bell if you want to expound upon.

It might just be possible that you're being scum read for the way you're playing currently, and not because someone is trying to death tunnel you.

Bell is fine-ish. I don't think he's done anything to generate town reads but that's hair splitting on my part.

For Ceph I think he is trying to solve the game, and I don't agree with the way people are scumreading him. I don't know why you are, but I don't find his frustration and defiance against being scumread as alignment indicative. I have a more specific interaction in mind where I decided Ceph was town based on, but I need to go back in my own posts to see where I clocked that interaction.

Instead of him actually thinking Bell is scum right now.
I literally invited you to make a case based on logic based on my predecessor.

How is that exactly turning the conversation away?

You really are grasping at straws here.
What part of asking me about my read precludes you from thinking "I need to start pushing in a different direction"

Because that was the point I was trying to get across. This feels like an argument about how I possibly used less optimal words to express that, and therefore it is to be dismissed entirely. Which is not a discussion I enjoy having on this site, though it does feel like I end up having those a lot.

I saw you actively responding to the fact that you were getting pressure.

Then latch onto a post to vote bell. Concluding that because you saw a single post talking about a video game, that you could then compare that to his entire prescence in a different game.
In post 2510, MathBlade wrote:They seemed more contenty in WH13. Here it’s about a game.

It pings me wrong.
Trying to draw that comparison feels more like you were looking for someone to vote, then a real genuine basis for a scum read.
I have a GTKAS now! - Come ask me questions!

They're super opinionated and make a lot of assumptions, they're also pretty clumsy with word choice - Bell
Luke, respect for your scumgame has gone up massively - Hectic
