Basically, I scumleaned him. I was given more information that indicated that the reason I scumleaned him was NAI. I moved him back to a null read.

And for some reason, you find that scummy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting take, why do you say that?

Oh

Hmm

Does it help if I say I wasn’t actually SRing you until I saw your readslist, which has given me doubts

also confused why u think I would think that going after Dann would get you to TR me

Ahh yes, the patented “make mena want to shoot himself in the face” method

Pretty much all of my town here are pretty weak and while pooky hasn’t been scummy overall I am worried that he might just be pocketing me

If so, it’s working for now tho...

I second the thing on pls no wallposts but I’ll try to properly focus there tomorrow

I feel like one of lukewarm/grandpa can be scum but not both and additionally if grandpa!scum bingle probably isn’t

Yes. All nine of those are genuine reads with genuine reasoning. I'm not going to bother explaining most of them at the moment, and they're loosely ordered based on how accurate my gut says they might be.
Bingle was probably like my joint strongest TR until this post and now I feel dubious

Bingle might also be town and just have terrible reads I guess

but every time i've played as scum vs town!bingle, he's kicked my butt handily so I am clutching his leg like a liferaft

Actually maybe the thing bothering me most about that post is the explanatory paragraph at the end?

Like I’m looking at the post trying to figure out what bothers me about it and while I think the reads themselves are bad I think what’s really getting to me is the need to emphasise the “genuine” reads with “genuine” reasoning

Also the preemptive note about not explaining them and talking about how they’re loosely ordered and based on gut accuracy

It’s like this is all stuff that is clear from the context and exists in subtext without needing to be stated explicitly

So making a note of all of that is like trying too hard and over-justifying yourself in a way that I’m not sure town feels the need to

I mean bingle is generally a pretty capable scumplayer and so while I agree that he was good vibes early game I think he’s basically beyond vibes and/or tonal based sorting

Posted: Sat May 01, 2021 3:08 pm

And I feel like the way he’s approaching the game is also potentially in line with what he’d do if he’s planning to try to powerscum, including setting up to conflict with me rather than work with me

Which might be paranoid, but I think bingle has a reasonable amount of respect for my towngame and it would probably be a relatively strong priority for scum!him to try to avoid me getting too established in the game

I think in his readslist the two single things that bother me the most are TRing dann who really isn’t town this game yet

And also having both me *and* drapion in his SRs but not as an either/or
