what does that tell you about testarossa
Testa feels like they're cautiously solving. Their posts feel analytical which fits with how I approach in not being overly eager to commit.

Pedit: thats not an unfair characterization. Sometimes I leave notes to myself of things that jump out that become ingredients of analysis later.

This meta conversation is an easy way to inflate lost count and look active. It may also be something that someone does stylistically. Look games of imperfect information are pretty difficult to play.

Day 1 I'm primarily looking for reads progressions that seem more shaped by external circumstances than a logical thought process. This felt more shaped by external circumstances. Later votes sort of went that direction as well.

I'm still like 400 posts behind so give me a minute. But as of that last question I just answered from Dkkoba, thats my top suspect, yes.

This strikes me as weird. What do you mean their partners abandoned them? What actions would you be expecting?

This is your third post asking people to build a wagon on either me or SB, why are you so confident on both of us?

i do not know (◕︿◕✿) andres is giving me that big Pocketing Koba Vibes, and just, pointing out in and how he's probably barking up the wrong tree, how his townreads are townreading ico, how i'm making a lot of valid points (and also pointing out there's no longer voting ico in for some reason?) and is just like that now back. however i'm not done talking to janko and he's kinda Not Here right now so it's a bit hard judge where his head's at.
If thats whats happening hes pocketing quite a few people. You, VP, Koba. I mean he found a way to get back onto icon so you may be right though.

Did you miss the slip? Or is there a reason you're not weighting it.
if anything, i was at the verge of pushing him on such an obviously faked question coming from a player with his experience
i'd expect the question in a newb game, or from a new player in general.

Why are you giving towncredit to an *experienced* player who doesn't seem to know how many scum are to be expected in 13 players?
I didnt realize how experienced they were at the time (the account creation date was only 6 months old). And come on man, don't be a dick. Respect their pronouns.

But these answers effectively explain it. I know you normally weight slips which is why i was curious.

This is my point. The speed of the wagon doesn't matter if literally everyone on it is town. We shouldn't be afraid to be right. Speed wagons that form on scum are actually super powerful because they put the scum in a bad position without a calculated response. I completely think snow is the right play and the counter wagon on testarossa is going to yield a ton of information upon flip.

Ah, this explains what you said above perhaps. Maybe I'm out of practice here. Is scum day chat a pretty standard function? I did have it in my last couple scum games, but there seemed to be theme/setup reasons in those games for that to exist. I wouldn't have assumed all normal games have scum day chat. What's site meta currently?



Koba and Aldsukkel are probably the worst of the testarossa votes, imo.

I actually lied, Janks vote is bad too.

There's almost no explanation of this wagon other than "tess uses a lot of words' and "I don't like snow wagon"

In post 637, Andresvmb wrote:So why have you decided each and every time to attack the players who seem to have more openly suspected you early in the game, to the point where you’ve placed three different votes on those three different players? Could it be because you take votes as personal slights as Town and feel like you should push all those players?
Because I felt (still do) the pushes were made up, and were based on wrong/terrible/faked reasoning. Take your pick. I fought NPOW over his actions. Guess what. We ended up townreading each other (degrees may vary).

I fought VP. From the way he handled my slot the day after our fight I ended up townreading him. I made a post on the why exactly earlier.

Then when my wagon was dying, Dkkoba joins the game and has this bitch ass attitude towards everyone and refused to explain his reads/votes.
So I ended up fighting him. Difference here is that I don't townread him after our discussion. His motivation for this fight is scum.

Your presumption that me pushing back against people who push me is scum-motivated is simply wrong.
Given NPOM's progressions why are they above null? I get that its weak, but this is the read im not getting from you.

I think the reason I'm tring snow is that she seems like she'a actually introspecting and also that she seems focused on things that people who are solving tend to be focused on

deadass ur analysis of the reasoning behind testa being voted is v reductionary and glosses over the active lurking post style and IIoA. u think that makes them blatant town??

1) complains about getting wagoned when never facing any actual pressure

4) then says "jk if I am useless, it's not AI"

Where are your reads at? I feel like Koba, NPOM, Icon, Datisi and probably Amdres have generated enough content that you should have some reads there. Where you at?

UNVOTE:
VOTE: snowblaze
Complaining about being wagoned is NAI. I just hate it as either alignment.

I never said I couldn't scumhunt because it's day one, I said I don't usually have strong scumreads on day one. That doesn't mean I'm not scumhunting.

And, you know, I'm not being useless. I'm engaging with people, I'm giving reads, I'm looking at things that interest me. That is not useless.

I do think that being useless to town is NAI, yes. Scum can make themselves useful, town can not be useful. It depends a lot more on the player than their alignment.
