How are you reading Ultra and Ekko?

I believe I've already told you lol, you even acknowledged the reads themselves (certainly the Ultra one)

Ultra - Lean Town
Ekko - Lean Scum

Why do you read Poyser town?

hes the only t1 thats actually cooking and i vibe with

I'm saying basically you know Melkor is usually an easy player for you go push or pressure, so it's weird how you barely interacted with him

so...?

Okay let's go about this a different way. Right now who are you not town-reading at all?

 

[Magic]

tfw no sold

@Magic Basically I don't see how you got to your first position. I could understand if it was purely for pressure but you had your vote there for a fair bit of time (you might still have it there?) so what gives?

I didn't check my.mentions the first time. It was for pressure seeing as it was for the first post of the game. Not exactly sure why you're so hung up on that singular post and read. Pray tell.

 

[Magic]

But Poyser did not post anything when Orca made this push?

Ya I noticed that after from Ultra's post but that's not exactly how I read Ocra. As scum he plays more on the backfoot and will be more defensive/omgus style and reactive than proactive. I'm not calling tbe push itself good but the fact he's doing it towny

How is voting somebody that's not posted proactive?

TOWN

Nibel
Luka
Tweetums
Ultra
Aurelian

could wagon any of
Retro
Ekko
Xadlin
magic

Haven't mentioned magic yet but just think he's largely been talking shite so far. Xadlin read sucks, he also just decided to read retro town based on how her posts progressed but didn't really say why or anything. i dont really see how her posts progress as townie tbh

vote magic

ill go for the spicy option

Why do you think the xaldin read sucks? Have you actually seen him play?

Also idk why you're hating on vibes. That said I'm 99% sure I did explain my Watson town read. I didn't like her initial over defense to what Luka said and then afterwards she continued digging in not wanting to be too expansive in her reads and wanting to wait it out. It comes across as more of a genuine thought and play than if she suddenly pivoted and tried forcing reads as that's what scum do to appease the people accusing them.

Don't agree.

I called this out earlier too, pushing a wagon and going after a then inactive slot isn't reactive. It's suboptimal play assuming he is town. Already said you do more solving with active players then ones that are absent.

Why are you playing so stupid. Can't tell if you're being intentionally dense. It's being proactive relative to one's self, not a general thing.

I don't disagree that it isn't suboptimal play m8, I don't scumhunt by trying to see who is playing sub-optimally as town.

Yeah but your spinning it as a positive for Orca and I don't see how???

Is that what she specifically does as scum though? I'm pretty sure she tends to just double down on stuff like that either way

There was no shade?

She also seems to think that the post that triggered her over defensiveness wasn't shade, or at least this is what she said about it. So there'd be no reason for her to try and appease anybody if she didn't even think she was being shaded. I don't really buy her thinking that though, because her initial response was pretty clearly feeling some heat lol

 

[Poyser]

No it's not proactive. Being proactive would be trying to move the game forward and/or start a wagon on somebody you think is scum or in the very least somebody you think will gain traction. Can you really say he thinks any of these things? I don't see how he could, because it makes literally no sense to believe any of these things.

You can't be being proactive if you know full well that what you're actually doing is wasting people's time. When you say in relative to himself, what does that even mean? The only way that could be true is if he usually does LITERALLY NOTHING, but Im assuming that's not the case? Ultra himself said he has done this plenty of times before, so I don't at all see how its proactive even relative to himself

 

[Poyser]

As for Xadlin, I have played with him though I cant say I remember anything about him at all. I just dont see where the town vibes comes from lol. His response to ekko shading him was really bad imo

 

[Gaddamnit]

I am only the second most pocketable player ever!

Uh huh, I'll get to this soon

ultra/magic/ratchet - null, wouldnt doubt 1 scum there

Why best buddy?

i think we shud do it, last game yall yeeted juice day 1 and the game was fun
ultra's game had no idea
hime's game got ruined cuz of the indie
flower's game got fked by the indie

it's all coming together

Had to come back to this but, what's your plan for catching an indie again? It feels like a foolhardy endeavor trying to actively seek out an indie.

He reacted to a message saying to ignore Luka with a check

I’m just that good
Anyways it isn’t a meta read

See, this is the thing about you little kitten. You say stuff like you're easily pocketable, and then here you're just that good. It feels like you're joking but it feels like your activity is just a ruse to portray presence while your content is all over the place. Idk, you stink a little.

What do you mean by "Town v Town" here?

Pretty straight forward, no?

In what way do you think I was coordinated with Magic?

I'm actually curious about this too. It feels like a forced push on you

Also I don't buy for a second given his reverence for games here that Ekko genuinely believes the best way to play this game is to Indie hunt.

I like this post.

Vibing with these reads akshully

Any particular reason why? Your reads the same as his too or just the list?

defensive af

You're not the only one who pointed this out but I don't buy it for some reason. She feels like she's experienced enough to not panic and get that defensive this early. Makes me think it's less defensive and more explanatory of her. This push isn't the best imo.

:( @Lord Melkor

You asked mans to read two whole phases lmfao


Gonna take a better look at what comes after this a bit later. Need to do some shit first.

 

[Gaddamnit]

TOWN

Nibel
Luka
Tweetums
Ultra
Aurelian

could wagon any of
Retro
Ekko
Xadlin

vote magic

I like this list for the most part. Luka and Tweet are at least NA for me.

Uhhhh what is this based on?

 

[Aurelian]

@Magic what player would you say in this game do you typically struggle the hardest at reading?

He's done more as town in other games but that's generally as the game moves on. I'm comparing his play here to other games in which he's been scum not other games he's been town as the latter is much more likely to result in a false lead than the former

What do you think of Ratchet being hung up on my first post of the game/vote on luka

As for Xadlin, I have played with him though I cant say I remember anything about him at all. I just dont see where the town vibes comes from lol. His response to ekko shading him was really bad imo

Xaldin has a habit of doing literally nothing at times due to inactivity, tkok-esque.
