A uPick of Ice & Fire - Day 12 - #REKT?

[Eddard Stark]

The Dornishman's wife was as fair as the sun,
and her kisses were warmer than spring.
But the Dornishman's blade was made of black steel,
and its kiss was a terrible thing.
The Dornishman's wife would sing as she bathed,
in a voice that was sweet as a peach,
But the Dornishman's blade had a song of its own,
and a bite sharp and cold as a leech.
As he lay on the ground with the darkness around,
and the taste of his blood on his tongue,
His brothers knelt by him and prayed him a prayer,
and he smiled and he laughed and he sung,
"Brothers, oh brothers, my days here are done,
the Dornishman's taken my life,
But what does it matter, for all men must die,
and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!

[PrideandJoy]

No, not really. There's always obvtown. There's always the worry of protective roles. It's also always nice to have obvtown.


Not at all. If I'm townreading someone early they're 95%+ likely to be town
if I'm scumreading someone early they're only say 50%+ to be scum
so one is a lot more useful than the other

Pedit: If you're town show it, Tierce, don't come in with a weak chainsaw

[Cephrir]

Oh noes I am being scumread by kayne who knows me from such games as HAVE WE EVEN MET BEFORE? If you want to make an issue of it, dance like so!

##Vote: kayneknowsbest

Seriously tell me how I look that makes me hawter or colder then usual. You wanna start a fight, COME AT ME BRO!

Badass woomens

God damnit! This is like mod-enforced punishment. I'll just wait until a hunky man makes himself known to me.

Keep this up.

I'm usually really good at getting early (like, by page 5, accurate) townreads. But I'm not getting like, any yet.
This is disconcerting.

Why mention townreads early?

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.

So you wouldn't want to publically acknowledge any of them, right?

-SSK

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?

hes trying to setup to scumread me and push the wagon away from him. dont mind him.

I'm not scumreading you. I'm just not townreading you, when based on post 10 I was expecting to quickly form a nice solid townread there.

Are reads that early often accurate for you? (If so, I'm impressed)

Townreads yes
scumreads no

Aren't the mutually exclusive?

-SSK

Are you scum?

We're not gonna sign probably. SSK and I have different enough voices though that it shouldn't be too hard to discern us though. Example: the other posts in this thread are all SSK. I sometimes refer to myself as a friendly wolf token, too.

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.)

I suppose I probably won't end up caring. It still annoys me on principle, though.

[quadz08]

dudes

VOTE: Cephrir cause his last few posts feel funny in my tummy.

Also, the correct response to the hydra thing is to

fucking think of them as one player

. If they aren't playing that way, they're hydraing wrong anyway.

[Shadoweh]

I don't have a chill setting, I'm clearly ON FIRE. And possibly a pyromaniac. Besides, I'm a full-fledged main course and I will choke you on the way down. All you're doing is acting like pnj pissed in your cheerios for no reason, it is the absolute worst thing.

[Shadoweh]

tHERE ARE SEVEN HYDRAS. I'm going to pretend like I don't know any of you until you post enough that your names associate with who you are. Yes.

[StupendousMan]

VOTE: Andrius

No godless man may sit the seastone chair.

[quadz08]

^ I advocate the post 80 method

[macmollie]

hi guys!

town reads on kanye, p&j and tierce so far

hey cephrir

I bet you know who this is but my hydra partner who is awsum will sound like this too. so nogo on signing the posts.

why is this an issue for you?

[quadz08]

by god do we fucking have to have a discussion on hydras here? Can we

please

not?

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.)

Tierce, why so aggressive?

No, not really. There's always obvtown. There's always the worry of protective roles. It's also always nice to have obvtown.

Fair enough.

Are you scum?

No.

[Tammy]

Oh such strength. The hand?

But seriously Ben hope all is well.

I liked Hurricane Hodor better :/

(You should watch the movie. You'll change your mind, promise.)

Also, would you judge me if I said kanye made me swoon?

A little. But I'm accustomed to men weaker than me, so ill get over it.

[Tammy]

Mind explaining the vote then?

*rolls magic 8 ball*

"Ask again later."

Thief.

[Tierce]

Tierce, why so aggressive?

Aggressive

is

my default mode. I could bring in puppies if it makes you feel better, though. Empire's Town, Tammy might be Town, I'm ready to roll this game and already irked by the posting spree because I need to leave for a few hours. The hypocrite bit was referring to

me

, though, in case you're wondering.

[Garruk Relentless]

VOTE: Andrius

Why randomly vote? It's page 4 now. There's enough content to be able to vote a player now.

Speaking of which,

Vote: Kanye

. Pushing too aggressively for a wagon that no one has explained and is ultimately fruitless in discussion. And he needs to explain things.

-SSK

[Tammy]

Are you just voting for PnJ because Kanye is?

No.

Mind explaining the vote then?

Why didn't you pose this line of questioning to me?

[Tierce]

Natirasha please sit SSK aside for a moment and explain why scummy posts are something you don't want to be doing. It's distracting me with all the

ooooo shiny

when I am pretty damn content with my vote.

[Garruk Relentless]

Are you just voting for PnJ because Kanye is?

No.

Why didn't you pose this line of questioning to me?

Felt too close to RVS so I was just assuming it was a random join in. Do you have an explanation for your vote? Because this wagon is a mystery to me.

-SSK

[Tammy]

Prideandjoy you're not going to be winning any tourneys with those types of posts. We value strength around here.

[Garruk Relentless]

Natirasha please sit SSK aside for a moment and explain why scummy posts are something you don't want to be doing. It's distracting me with all the

Mind explaining what was wrong with my post Tierce?
