WOW-ZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While Team X cornered itself into a dead end, Team O comes right back with an aggressive, unnerving, double-corner flanking an open middle slot. Should this even legal be legal? Check out our twitter poll and vote.

Of course Team X is demanding that the referees examine the video footage. What an athlete!!!! Footage from the over head camera is blurry because Team O moved so fast. INCREDIBLE!!!!! I don't recall Elements' wrist being so ripped during the 2019 World Championships.

I townread everyone on Ben atm, which isn't really hard tbh since I TR everyone except Ben/Bork.

The game is literally unplayable for a hypothetical Ben partner right now. They cannot go to bat for his slot and are entirely dependent on someone decent replacing into the slot and saving the game.

I get basically zero out of the current game state.

Uh i disagree qith this assessment, it only started to feel inevitable like in the past day or so.

If ben is scum there was like half a week to try to divert off and that didnt happen

You can push someone else, you can stand pat to see what happens, or you can defend.

First clearly didn't happen, is risky but not the worst. Third is suicide. Second likely happened and this is the result. They're essentially forced to stick to it and bet on the replacement.

If it wasn't inevitable you can afford to stand pat for a few days. You're trying to have it both ways here by saying it wasn't inevitable but they would have taken action imo. In hindsight it's easy to see that standing pat was wrong.

Agree to disagree I guess. He might be town but I don't think the gamestate tells me that.

Scum are absolutely fine with this if Ben is town, but the fact he's getting voted in itself really doesn't say as much to me given that choosing to play more assertively a few days ago is hard, even if correct, and atm scum's easiest choice is to defer and bet on whims of town/a strong replacement.

I've tried to remove more specific partner guesses from the ben-scum viewpoint I've been arguing, instead only assuming the wagon is all town (big assumption, but borderline required), but it doesn't really help that my preferred second pick (Bork) has played extremely passively for most of the game and as scum would have spent all day clearly waiting to see where the wind is blowing

Lurking works because players move on out of boredom.

Town doesn't need to do that.
