I mean, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. People can't fake entrances? And I don't apply arbitrary numbers to something like an entrance, but I feel like saying Tsword is different after two posts seems premature.

faking early game motivation for scum is a lot harder than the rest of the game as there is nothing to work with, no established content to build off of, and so it's easy to come off as awkward.

if you disagree with all that then that's fine, but is there a wider point to it? do you think odo is scummy for saying tsworder looks different here? if it's all neutral then why dont you let it play out?

are your expectations relative, as in based on each individual player, or is it more general (having the same expectations for everyone).
I am of course taking into account if I know someone very well. I recall playing one game with Evans so I can hardly give him special treatment here.

why did you feel it was forced? what vibes did you get?

It seemed to me that you were assuming Evans chose to focus on T-Pein as scum tactic and it hardly seems obvious take. Also, I do not see a chain of thoughts on your side in this respect.

I got vibes that Evans is really frustrated with T-Pein. This does not make him scummy to me, if anything more of a slight town lean as scum may be more self aware.

I didn't make any assumptions! I asked him about his due diligence pertaining to not playing if tpein played. Mostly cause it was an overt stance.

If it was purely frustration then that's fine! Stating he wouldn't play if he knew tpein was playing sounds like some bullshit to me. So what is the purpose of overtly showing your frustration? Is it to make it come across as more genuine?

I think it’s a pretty night and day comparison tho, to the extent it’s noteworthy. Do you disagree? Have you even looked?

And no, they are consistently the best posts to dig into cause they’re the most difficult to blend - your take is flat out wrong here
Nah, I don't bother looking at that stuff. But I don't think my take is wrong at all; judging someone as being different two posts into the game is a big jump. Could you be right? Sure, but I find it curious that this is one of the points you want to make and talk about this early in the game b

I think Gram is curious for his comments, yes. It'd be pretty bold of me to call him scummy, but I didn't read his post about Tsword and go 'wow lock this guy town'.

well no, I made the read and moved on, it’s you who wants to talk about it, seemingly at the expense of anything else, so I’m very interested to see what you do with this ‘curiosity’
