RVS+early game post townreads are my thing. To a lesser extent I've read people as scum accurately from their first 3-5 posts in a game before as well.
But this game is an exception in that I'm getting a lot of not understanding motivations for a lot of actions, and it's screwing with my early reads. I like my early reads, I felt it noteworthy to mention.

Pedit: If it's not an obvious dan post, it's a chesskid post on this one.

I, SSK, will sign for Garruk's posts so that people can tell the difference. But so far Natirasha's post where he mentioned he was himself has been the only post in this thread where it's been him.

In your case I don't really care about signing, as far as I'm concerned you aren't really a hydra. No one else gets a pass though.

I usually don't have an issue with having open reads. If I had any solid reads one way or another, I wouldn't have any issue sharing them, no.

Not that they're terrible, but
the scumreads are essentially crapshoots and I've had some really nice early catches before that have been reinforced by later play
and i've had some shit reads that have put me into deathtunnels for a day or two before.

I usually don't have an issue with having open reads. If I had any solid reads one way or another, I wouldn't have any issue sharing them, no.
But if you point out an easy town member early in the game, not only will it have an impact as a foundation for all reads, but it will also make them an easy target for scum?

I cannot tell the difference between posters in virtually any hydra because I am not very observant. As such, I would like to request that everyone sign.
If you're not able to differentiate hydra members due to writing/playstyle, they are able to fake who wrote each post if they are called out for inconsistency and whatnot. Signing is pointless; if differentiating people is important for you, go read their completed games to see how they write.

As for your "no [hydra] else gets a pass" on signing, bah. Get better at recognizing writers, then you don't need signatures and can try and figure out if they are impersonating each other. It's fun.

Empire, you should probably sheep me.

Hey PrideandJoy--less general theory talk, says the hypocrite. Play
this
game. Seems a bit silly to be worried about not having good Townreads by page 2-3. (I'm Town. There, that's one.)
