For the record one of the reasons Maid Cafe actually has fairly good scum equity here is because neither MariaR nor beeboy are exactly passive players and yet in this game the hydra is incredibly passive.
To
some
extent, that can be attributed to rl factors + disengagement from the game. Where they don't
really
feel like playing, they don't have an investment, they don't have a strong incentive to be more active because they're not really interested in the game right now, so rl factors plus that = low-spoons game.
...But those are the factors keeping Maid Cafe from being closer to lockscum.
Because while the above is fully possible, I would expect either more sheeping from them with even less thoughts given, or less sheeping from them with more thoughts given. To have thoughts acted through on, to actually have some push.
Being midway between the two is the zone scum in multiball would thrive in, giving Maid Cafe a quite significant chance of being scum.
But of the players not north of null, Maid Cafe is still the towniest of them imo. Just, not townie enough to be a townread. (I suppose a better way to say that is the least-scum of the names in my PoE.)
Plus, PoE is a thing, here.
I have very good reasons for my locktown.
I have very good reasons for my town.
I feel
very
good about the vibes of T-Bone town. (Basically the only reason he's not higher is that I don't know his play here. Everything looks town, but I have no metric for if this is possible from him as scum.) And while there's some ambivalence there, I'm overall comfortable with the direction MMR have displayed in their thoughts, to be reasonably town.
Furtiveglance doesn't look like his SK play from Datisi's cafe, which feels promising on D1;
Enchant I feel is in his towngame albeit mostly by gut.
So with me feeling quite good about my townreads, there's not a lot of room left for the scum to be.
