Zen, you know me. I know me. I'm not going to bother with anything that doesn't concern me or my reads. Read my games.
Soup the points against you just keep on pouring.

You wrt J: "You're scum, you use self-meta"

You wrt yourself: *uses self-meta*

Being the most hated
Ran the deadline is tonight.
Allegory I like how you call glg scum for his first few posts yet find me doing so comedic.

You guys can still switch to Ryu. Spidey is black box. JTB is surefire scum. And based on meta (mmMM good ol' meta) Xonar is town. I think. Don't really have the time to go over it for now. Except that maybe I day copped JTB?
What do you think of Allegory? Also, what do you mean by "black box"?

4 minutes and 14 seconds of my life well spent

I can read RR like a book. He's not bull****ting.

Zen, why the hell did you do that.
I can't believe I missed this in my first read...MEEEETTTTAAAAAA >.>

dabuz see:

Time Travelers
GS3
Shining Force
Super Heroes

I never would do such a thing as scum. I'm too afraid to.
Self-meta all the way
MEEEEEETTTTTTAAAAAAA >.>

Why no longer Dabuz, S-Tier?
TAWNN, you need to get in the game, seriously.

Im sorry i support the J lynch can i be town again?

What's your schtick S Tier? Umad cuz im abhorrently against the J lynch, or mad that im defying you?

Acro please gimme your take on this clown -.-
What are you implying here?

S-Tier, how do you feel about AM?

@Spidey: You never answered me, what in your 905 gave you a town read on TAWNN?

Re-reading, I can see why there is Soup hate. Soup for me has been meh this whole game, so I don't mind seeing him go. However, I still want a J lynch.

Vote: J

S-Tier still doesn't sit right with me from his earlier play. I'll admit that my 743 is bad, my thought process on motives and W/E didn't make sense, which is why I never tried to push S-Tier on his gambit after RR claimed, especially after realizing that I read that 731 wrong. When making my 743, I misread that as S-Tier claiming Day cop.

@Swiss: WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!

I missed answering this. It was neither of these. They were my scum picks in order of scummy. By "our" lynch pool, I was referring to Zen and Seph.

This order is now glg > J > JTB > Glyph > Spidey.

Vote: glg
Considering I've got so much to read going forward, I really would prefer not to read backward. I remember disagreeing with the GLG wagon but I don't remember why.

Zen, explain it to me the basis of your lynch choice on GLG. Swiss can answer this too.

S-Tier, how do you feel about AM?
Town

Vote: J
So why don't you build a case? What this basically said to me was that you're not even trying. You say you want a J lynch, but wheres the content? It seems half ***** to me.

This also speaks all kinds of wrong to me. :urg:

@Swiss: WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!
Why even say this? Fake content much?

I did say I had town leans on Soupa/Zapp....

AM is odd because I haven't played with WL in a loooooong time so I have absolutely no clue yet. Most of the things they have posted aren't the most original nor have they been doing much themselves yet.

I usually tend to look at Swiss' scum-reads more than town-reads. I also don't recall a synergy between both your reads.
why do you people keep reading this as me, gorf's here too and has done a bulk of the heavy lifting the past four days

****ing hell

no but really, I've been inactive the past four days thanks to all of my teachers sans one of them deciding "HEY YOU GOT IMPORTANT **** DUE THIS WEEK, GO DO IT."

Ah true my bad.
Do you feel this way about Swiss as well? His reads have come to be the same as mine other than Allegory. I find it odd that you HAVENT gotten the town reads. I feel you're trying to keep options open. Like how do you not have an obv town read on Zapp, AM, and Soup by now.
Also, I like this and fully back it.

S-Tier looking better, J looking worse.

What?

That last line is not even true because if you even go back and check our hydra chats from our last couple of games you of all people would know I never have hard stances D1. At best, I have one solid scum-read or one/two good town reads.
Someone other than Zen should +1 this. If they don't, I can only take this as citing self-meta and unable to read any further into it.

To be fair, most of my posts are extremely fake because I am restricted to play a way I hate with this posting restriction. I'm not used to having to treat people like dirt.

Makes sense now don't it?
why are you letting a posting restriction alter the way you play? calling someone a ******* and saying you respect their opinion may be two different things in speaking but action should be no different

I REALLY hate this, you say you have Allegory has scum lean, but now when you look at him again, you can't find why you thought that. Such a back pedal and now your scum lean appears so fake to me.

FOS: J
Why are you so tentative with your voting? There should be no reason for it.

...Didn't I already explain my J read 719...>_>; If by case, you mean you want a PBP analysis, I can get that when I have more time which would be tomorrow.

No, I want to see Swiss actually play this game because I don't remember him calling v/la or anything.

AM, Glyph, TAWNN, and JTB: Could I get your opinion on this post please?



I'll address any questions/concerns you guys have in my post later tonight, but for now I really need to get ready to leave tomorrow.
I have no qualms with it O.o
^That. Reminds me of Soup in some games, who'll go around getting town reads and then find his scum team by PoE.

Wow. Not gonna lie, that alleviated my J scum read, and brought my scumSpider read back to life.

Vote: Spidermang tentatively, will talk to my partner to get absolute clearance, but expect this to be where our vote stays.
Oh, I definitely want Spidey dead. I didn't like his initial game, he's brought nothing since, and his defense was shouting "YOU'RE MISINTERPRETING ME I'M SO MISUNDERSTOOD GAWHD" like some angsty teenager. Raziek made a good post but one good post but even the dumbest of scum is capable of making a good point every now and then.

Which also translates into scumJ not evaporating based on one good post. His analysis is fair, but his earlygame was trash and he's good enough to get into trouble at first and then pull off posts like that one and hope people will jump off his back. I'm not that dumb. J's still in the woods and should be for the moment. I still have ten ages to go though.

Going to streamline this since I won't be in for the next ten hours and when I get back home I know you'll be sleeping due to time zone differences. I don't really understand the pressure you were putting on Swiss early on D1. From my point of view, both you and Raziek are players that are capable of playing a fairly legit townie game without needing to pursue such an off-handed gambit early on. How you approached the situation i.e. asking Swiss how he would tackle dabu/gira seems to be a throw up question. And your beginning play into today was weak.

Meta metric aside, I'm not really sure of what your intent was in going with such a push early on. For one, when Soup~ interrupted you, you implied that you were doing something of merit. This is additionally supplemented when Ranmaru "agreed" with what you were doing initially and joined initial pressure on Swiss, in which you also didn't say anything. In fact, the reason you ended up voting Ranmaru was because he omgus'd Swiss. I would have thought that you would have voted him for stating that your push was a "good" move. Especially when dabu questioned your intent and asked you whether your choice was the best course of action, your response indicated something along the lines that it wasn't an important push.

That leaves the question open to how important the initial push was to you and to me for that matter. Furthermore when you did pick up the game again after a brief day or two day hiatus in which we were curious about your intent behind the gambit, the subsequent posts that I remember reading didn't really address what information you got from your initial play.

I do understand that there are several extrinsic factors affecting the core hydra from probably giving his best. But in consideration of these factors, I still believe much explanation is necessary for initial play and what was seriously gained from it as a whole. Debating if this is the lynch I want to pursue. Sigh.
There's a simple answer for what you're looking for:

Scum are stupid and are most obvious during RVS.

This is why I dislike Spidey. The way he entered the game was absolute trash. Scum and town are different in RVS because town has no idea how it'll interact and how the game is together, and neither will scum. In some instances, scum tries too hard to try to blend into town and that's exactly what Spidey did here. Y'know how I know? The immediate 180 once others beyond Swiss called his ****. Instead of continuing on, he turned around and then fell under Swiss' command quickly because he realized what he was doing wasn't working. Once called again on his ****, his only defense was complaining about how he's "misunderstood."

Bull****.

There's difference between this and what S-Tier's saying about JTB by the way. JTB came in far too late to call this and saying things like he's planning interactions is impossible to prove. JTB's stayed right in line with his schtick. He came in as a sheep and has been a sheep all along. Xonar came in, tried to blend in with a formula that worked for him in Math Blasters, ****ed it up, then fell right in line.

This is who needs to die today.

Why would you switch from one lynch that isn't happening to another lynch that isn't happening. It looks like a spidey lynch at this point dabuz so that's where you vote should be.

Unless you want to join me on JTB. We wont have to worry about a replacement if we just lynch him.

@J you said you're fine with switching to JTB. Will you do this with me?
We're lynching Spidermang. JTB is a sheep but he is not scum for it. Why are you trying to change the preferred lynch so close to deadline?

Ew, Soup's reaction to votes on him are terrible, one point I do think Spider has completely correct with Soupa is that there is no urge to scum-hunt and it seems to be a common thing this game. Plus reaction to the gambit was terrible and does not make sense that Soup wouldn't understand what would happened.
Yes. This.

Gog, I want Spidey and Soup dead. S-Tier can go in the lynchpool on a Spidey scumflip, dabunz on a Soup scumflip.
