I may not be a pro but I don't believe I am a newbie. I'm less likely to listen to advice from players that are insulting me for being newish. I did predict the scumteam correctly and got Night killed for it, however. I think I am improving nut still have work to improve on.

You learn proper hammer etiquette and procedure though.
Which is kind of the point.

I don't think I insulted you prior to the derphammer - if I did I absolutely apologize.
I do not apologize for any perceived insults of your play skill after that hammer though.

Well played town.
I think that scum really dropped the ball with all the fakeclaiming and it ended up biting them in the ass badly.

I get the feeling Una was never going to reconsider, at least for me, and if that's the case you should have just hammered without getting a replacement :P

Also this is a questionable "bah" because it implies Wave was tracking Paul and saw him coming..! :lol:
I tracked FL. After eddie flipped town I figured out it was likely a FL/GR/Paul or FL/GR/Thor team and they were just trying to next-level us or something with their fake claims. If I had known FL was Boon that just would have further assured me of that lol
Yea I was kidding with this, actually had me laughing! :lol:

I suppose I could have done better but trying to find a coherent narrative in an 160 page game before attrition screwed me over was painful.

Not in this particular game, no.

I have been taught in one of my first games though, that you sort of "should" always reset your reads in LyLo, or atleast try your hardest to take distance to your previous stance.
At least while you read the game again or whatnot.

Well, I tried to do that, but frog and Eddie both explicitly named Paul as scum over Thor, and my own initial read on him was town, so.. :roll:

Nightmare LyLo for me would have been deciding between TiaM and Paul.

Fwiw: I would have pushed on you over Thor if the votes hadn't gone down.

It was a really obnoxious situation where I had to either

1) Hope that you didn't notice the problems with the theory that Thor just randomly went along with two really poorly considered claims
2) Argue that he for some reason supported it: which is what in the end I went with and had to handwave a lot of the theory
3) Argue that GR and FL went ahead with it in spite of Thor's objections, and that he still didn't outright bus them

At any rate, I had fun. There's not many games I've been in where I had to work as hard or as quickly as I did here and I think I learned a lot from the experience. I do still think I would have won versus a lot of opponents in the 1v1 or a lot of people having the hammer, but you both played really well. I caveat that I think Unabombah's play is wrong on principle because I think Thor would always be townread over NTRP regardless of alignment: but Thor did a good job of responding to my walls and towntelling and Unabombah did hammer correctly, so again well played.

I thought Eddie protecting TIAM mostly proved him town? Scum would have had to coincidentally no-kill that night, or try to kill Dunker (LOL)

i think not enough attention was paid to d2- it made 2/3 scum fairly clear imo, but in the end it wasn't needed

Depends on the group and the IC. But it's the only place where you're particularly likely to see an actual effort at teaching (in some games anyway).

Yeah, I've heard of the 'reset' theory, and I think it has some merit insomuch as I do advocate that there is a lot of logic around the ol' 'if you're in lylo with an obv. scum and an obv. town vote the obv. town' advice - but you also need to parse that in context of the kills, and it's foolish to totally forget the past.
It's a wonky line to walk though, and I say that with an exceedingly impressive win ratio when I get to lylo.

For the first half of that micro, I wrote you off as a shitposter, but as the game went on, I realized you were *doing it on purpose* to have just that effect. And then I like actually started paying attention to what you were saying <3

Paul was right btw. i didn't actually townread him really, I expected him to sheep me regardless kid alignment. i was waiting to see how and when he sheeped me and if he stopped weirdly or only sheeped on town (both things I noticed and why i switched my read d4) id know he was scum. :p
