I don't like how preemptive this feels. Why do you always scumread replacements?
Black kind of put exactly into words my first reaction to this post. Your responses I guess I could see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure how you seem adamant that you don't understand how this could come across as weird?

It's the way how they give out their reads afterwards when they are done catching up and I scum read replacements who don't bother on catching up which looks like they are not trying to figure out the game.

- A
Like, the way this is worded outright sounds like you have already decided you're scumreading the slot no matter what? I understand your point in , but I don't understand how you're so adamant that Black misreading/misunderstanding your posts, when this is tbh kind of ambiguous, makes you hard scumread her?

I want to townread Black because posts like and feel like she is trying to solve but posts like , and kind of scum ping me a little?

Again, maybe it's because I clocked the shadow wagon as a joke, but I do see this as a potentially easy/potentially opportunistic way to jump onto Tris?

I do need to reread that part of the thread though, because while I only remember Black being one of the people to be vocal about it, I want to make sure I didn't miss anything, and see how I feel about the vibe of those posts on a reread, to see if i do feel diferent than I did in the moment.

Ausuka is easy Town Lock and Koba's play seems too natural to me. It's been a while, and I'm rusty as hell with a bad streak thus far in the return, so take it all with a grain of salt, and I'll do another reread later today

i think there's a pattern where flare is just pushing anyone who expresses suspicion on them by calling that suspicion bad and it's making them (and honestly also the thread) difficult to read

I would like to hear more about how margot thinks I am the towniest town to ever town potentially ever

you and ausuka have been on A about off, and now your narrating she positioning herself when she was previous explaining her reasons. lol if i didn't know better maybe you to are itching to get town out.


how many games have you played with A?

~H
Sure, if you're town then it wasn't positioning. But if you're scum then I think the whole "I always scumread replacements" and "I'll probably scumread Margot too" thing was meant to set yourself up to hop on a mobile wagon

this is normal thing, imo. and seen people not liking scum roles only to sub out. it basically 50/50 but seen it more on other forums.


~H
I don't think it's normal to always scumread replacements, especially if, after awhile, you start to notice that there are townies doing the things you are suspicious of (posting reads after catching up, or not catching up at all)

Even if replacements are scum half of the time like you are suggesting (which I disagree with btw, at least in my experience replacements have been town like 80% of the time), I still don't think that's a good reason to scumread someone

Yes? Literally all the time?
I think that figuring out how to get to a desired outcome is highly common - for instance, at end game scum probably have a pretty good idea of who they want with them, so then they have to figure out how to lim the rest of town.
@Rogues
why don't you think scum would work backwards?

It's a terrifying implication as to the ability of town if they let it happen and pass D1 by with no info but a probable greenflip gained.
Makes sense. Also +1 TR, because I don't feel scum would have had that sort of answer readily enough to answer as quickly as HPE did.
You don't think scum would be able to explain why they don't think quick-elimination on page 5 is a good idea?
Oh, they certainly can. However, I think scum are usually more intentional about what they say, and since the word it used and the reasoning they gave didn't quite mesh at first, the speed at which they were able to reconcile the two struck me as town.

If the player is just going to piggyback without giving their own takes then yes it does look scummy. I don't recall seeing HPE give a single take that is not about wagons. It said it gave takes when it was arguing with Roden. I have read this interaction 3 times and it just looks like they are attacking each other. An interaction like that they had was not helpful for me on getting a read out of that.

On a very brief skim of thread, I think FF's 1v1 with Black feels very towny for FF and probably also towny for Black.

Might tryhard later, but that's all for today.
