before i really get into a solvy mindset today, i do like
tgp/mastina
a lot more especially with
mastina's
entry.
she responded to my prompt in good faith and it didnt feel like she tried to appeal to me. unless she is very competent scum AND the thread is largely wrong with solves, its hard to imagine her spew not coming from town because there is concrete rationale to support her POV and it doesnt feel burdened by the need to refrain discussion from slots, nor is vague enough to be interpreted as a potential positioning tactic for scum wanting to navigate the game through others' POV.
I specifically liked this line:
In post 3385, mastina wrote:
Also, looking for the busser is a mistake unless you think that all scum or all but one scum bussed.
1)
I agree. With the accompanying solve, this is always the optimal approach.
2)
Scum-
Mastina's
most obvious motive right now is to direct attention away from the major wagons
if
they contain her partner. This is because scumteam has already lost a number early-game so they have even less incentive to bus now than D2. But this take really only perpetuates the need to look at off-wagon scum.
So again, unless town is in a horrid direction, this is a town-centric trajectory... and even if the more commonly-agreed solves are wrong, I still hesitate to think this comes from scum because it's a sound approach consistent with
mastina's
personal thoughts.
im not quite there at
"hard defend"
territory but scum entries - on average - are far more shittier than what she provided.
i also see
MC's
vex about
TGP's
votes as stated in
3347 but that cant be resolved anymore.

on another note,
mastina
made me remember a few things I wanted to address.
a few slots need to get roasted.

I'm going to be honest,
Blitzo
, this feels like scum AtE.
Mostly because this is the highlight of your contribution to the D3 thus far and this is an indirect way of discrediting
BM
, an already-widely suspected slot.

your ISO is disappointing

needs to bear hugs.
since a lot of sus on you seems based around meta, does it make sense for you to just
let
people point solves at you and then not resolve the suspicion?
i appreciate the honesty but i dont think this dissuades the people thinking that you will flip red, man.
DGB
, I feel like I've made several continuous posts stating my position on
Maestro
and other votes you've made previously and even though I'm wanting more explanation behind your reads, you don't seem vested in giving greater context to your POV.
I'm also equally offset by - what looks like indifference - to my PoE falling down to you as scum.
Honestly, I haven't really seen a post from your ISO that makes me think it couldn't be from scum. I think your play is either very lax as town or designed to drop under the radar from most slots in this game, and that's a popular scum tactic especially in larger plists.
I still agree but your recent solve posts feel a little hollow >:
Can you explain in
3350 on how
Flea
is likelier the partner of
Bell
than
HC
? What do you think of the votes on
HC
so far?
~~~
As a universal note, I'm not fond of the thread's instinctual reaction to brand a whole solve or gameplay as wrong if it leads them to being scum, especially since much of the thread isn't combating the playerlist's progression.
This thread reaction just makes me more inclined to think I'm headed in a good direction with my reads.
If I'm confbiased somewhere, why hasn't anybody called me out yet?
