Everyone has an ability or some sort. If you had scumbuddies out of: DH, Vand, Nabe, x1, glg, and perhaps others who have been in OS' games, they would have informed you of this when I asked you or before hand.
They would assume that what I was trying to get at was that if you answered 'yes' that you were town. And that if you answered 'no' you would be lying or that it would be suspicious if you didn't answer. So they would tell you to answer and to answer yes.
What I was looking for was to see if you would do so. If you did, then you would be scum. But since you did not see why you should answer, it furthers my view that you are town. Especially since you called for the opinions of others of the town. Where as scum would retreat to their buds to figure out what I was trying to get at before answering.
Zen I can see where you were coming from with the idea but like any trap you definitely
can't solidify a town read so easily. Honestly, anyone who has played an OS game would of known EXACTLY what you were trying to do the moment you asked the question.
If I were scum with Beat I would of told him what you were trying to do but made sure he acted like he had no idea because he'd never played an OS game before. Maybe other scum would tell him to do something different, but your trap is not effective for determining if he is town.
If he'd claimed VT, sure he'd fail your test and I'd consider him scum, but he didn't slip or anything so you shouldn't be taking a town result because he answered your trap how he should of.
Again, I can see why you did it but its a bad way of going about finding scum.
Why ask him who he can read best? Are you going to listen to his opinion of this player more? Why would you do that? Otherwise explain how that's useful.
If he's town, yeah I'd probably listen to his opinion on someone he knows more, or at least scrutinize his reasoning more to make sure his read is not just based on meta. If he's scum, he's probably more inclined to having to make a strong stance on players he knows, because he has already said he knows their style. I guess it's not incredibly useful, but it's a good 1st post question imo.
@Vand: Why do you vote Gheb in #281? Do you think your vote will scare gheb into posting?
Yes because I'm a really scary guy
. But no I'm not trying to scare him I just wanted to here more from him.
"Contribtuing" wasn't the right word when describing gheb....however, van seemed to be implying that gheb hadn't done anything, where he has called out zen several times and comments on my 243 and 244. However, that brings up another point.
Gheb does practically the same thing as X1 (calls out someone and says that thye could play better/dumbtown), yet no one calls him out for it. Why?
I said I wanted to see more from Gheb because he'd been posting a bit but without saying much of significance. Comparing what he'd done to X1 or another inactive at the time is near impossible because I didn't point out Gheb because he was inactive.
What are you getting at with this DH? Do you think people have done things scummy and gone unnoticed?
@Ryu: Being a bully isn't scummy. You might as well lynch someone for being mean.
Unvote not really sure where to put this apart from not Zen. I have no idea about Zen's reads though. Nabe bugs me a little bit but it's not much except for asking questions and being a bit reactive.
