I was still trying to make my mind up.

If you were scum, I think you would have voted Assembler there. That, and your play toDay makes me think you're more likely to be town than he is, which cancels out Plus's later play.

So I'm going to decide based on your play and Assembler's play toDay.


Vote: Assembler

You could win by default by just sitting there for ten minutes. Maybe you're still trying to get a true win, not a default win, but like I said a bit ago- I'd rather lose by design than lose by default, and if Assembler's town those are my only options for the future.

VOTE: Assembler

Well.

I am comforted that my read was accurate.

Could kick myself for getting impatient and not waiting. :P

Assembler, why did you vanish??

You were the hero we needed, even though it didn't pan out. Thank you for replacing in! We'll eventually play in the same game at the same time, I'm sure :wink:

Yeah I agree, better to vote and lose than lose via no lynch.
You're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

I struggled hard. There was a lot to go through in RC's history, but really it came down to knowing I was town, realizing that in order for RC to be scum he'd have to be running like seven gambits at once, and Huntress's reasons for townreading me were shoddy. :P

But the disappearance made my brain hurt because we were so close to deadline. I started questioning myself, and wondering if he'd just decided to ignore the game and win that way. Bah.

Plus Minus: Please come back. You and I think similarly.
NSG: Can you explain why you were scumreading huntress the entire game, but didn't visit her?
Keychain: Should definitely play together soon! What queues do you like to play in?

Huntress: Your choices for lylo player were masterful. I had to bend my brain into pretzels before I found the patterns I needed to make a read because all the stuff that usually helps me (ISOs, VCA, associations) was profoundly unhelpful until I started examining RC's motivation and the thing clicked where I realized he was trying to put the PR into lylo. How did you know to NK NSG, or was that a lucky guess?

Now I stop spamming. I think. :P

my main scumread day one was moisto but other people didn't share my opinion on that. i knew if i was going to be useful to town i either had to get myself out of that tunnel or confirm it, so i visited moisto night one. night two i was really annoyed at rc's hammer so i visited him for pretty much the same reasons - if i didn't know that he was innocent i would've wasted everyone's time pushing him. i did visit huntress night three but it seems she saw through rc's smokescreen attempt for me.

To be honest Plus Minus and I think so similarly that I had a really hard time not aligning myself to his thought process exactly and inadvertently giving off newbscum signals. *snort*

I didn't even factor in that you believed RC because you knew he was town, NSG. herp-derp. There I go being all logical when there was a black and white practical explanation. Whoops.

yeah, it seemed weird to me that nobody seemed to pick up on that. maybe i'm just not used to gambits, but i think i definitely would have said something if i didn't know rc was town there and that he was trying to draw the nk away from me.

good job solving the game though, even if it didn't end up working out. you had a lot to read through but you still came out with really nice conclusions!

I am betting Huntress picked up on this even if I didn't.

Not showing up to LyLo to vote before endgame is beyond lurking it's completely unacceptable.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

It was incredibly frustrating, as someone who puts a lot into my games, even if I'm only in them for a few days.

Huntress would always have seen through that claim. My CC was insurance for the universe where it was +/- because he wouldn't have known.

^^

SD kudos to you for replacing in so late and managing to get the correct reads. Reading 50+ pages, making good arguments, and being analytical so close to the end of the game is something I'll never be able to do. It's a shame assemble didn't come on :/
Well played to everyone

I hope we play together some day from start to finish :P

Micros are my favourite, I enjoy opens and mini themes as well though. Won't be joining any new games for a while though.
