BRO - leaning scum. He looks really uncomfortable wearing the scum-win mantle, which could be coming from a townish place. But, I'm not seeing the well defined observations and really spot-on quote-and-call-out posts that I associate with his play. Everything is kind of mushy and even inaccurate (e.g., the comment about GiF/me not posting much).
Mastin - Null. I see why people are reading him as scum, but I'm not there right now. He looks like town having a bad hair day, basically, and I can think of a couple recent games where I really struggled to get a handle on the game on day 1 (and beyond). That's what I feel like I'm seeing with Mastin.
BnB - Town. Mollie is totally town.
Majiffy's reads list looks town to me
, and I liked the way he broke up the TD flash wagon.
TF - I'm very cautious about the Cabd head of this hydra (the one who's been most active. I think there have been 2-3 Syr posts, though his reads list shows that he's following along and discussing the game with Cabd). Earlier, when Cabd was actively reaching out for data - reads and impressions - I thought that looked pretty town. Now that he's in the mode of herding votes onto his preferred wagon(s) I'm a little paranoid.
GiF thinks Mala's aggressive, even angry at times, play looks town. I'm not there, not yet anyway.
this isn't exactly what you were saying earlier. you were kind of dissing his reads. what changed?
I don't agree with all his reads. That shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. However, they do look like town-Majiffy reads to me.
also you have mastin as a light town read, why aren't you defending that more? and what is it about him that makes you want to say it is having a bad hair day?
I'm wondering if I'm right and I want to continue to refine that read. And, I want the read challenged so I can see more evidence and gather more data. He seems really disconnected from the game and kind of in a bubble of self-referentiality. It doesn't look like the sort of stance that a scum player would take. It doesn't look like the sort of stance that scum-Mastin took in the one game I've played with him where he was scum.
andy why aren't you helping push the andy wagon?
He said he'd talk to me. I'm not going to push hard on his wagon while that hasn't happened.
What are your thoughts about the Mastin wagon?
