ehh... i lowkey got tmi vibes from their towncase post on scamper. because scum rn has to have reads anyway, and i think (1) it's easier to make correct townreads than scumreads, (2) it's easier to stay consistent with them, especially if you're towncasing someone who obviously isn't among the first people on the chopping blockIn post 997, Ausuka wrote:Is it overthinking to call this towny? I mean I'm not sure scum meg plays exactly this way. Like, definitely I can see them townreading scamper, but it feels like they're placing more of an emphasis on towncasing scamper vs scumcasimg xayah, whereas I feel like it's more intuitive for scum to do it in reverse. Does that make sense?In post 953, MegAzumarill wrote:Xayah is my thought for partner atm. I feel like the 180 last minute feels like scum trying to catch the bus last minute.
The done kill is interesting, haven't considered the ramifications yet.

I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

i mean
they're voting xayah, no?
i don't think scum wants to make a huge ass scumcase on a townie that people wanna kill anyway because (1) effort (2) it draws attention and can backfire laterI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

Hmm I would like to ask what stuff you felt was out of my control and what I should have done better because I'm interested in improving my game if I can but have no idea how to go about like evaluating what I did wrong and should do better?? But that's probably a topic for like... Outside this game threadIn post 987, scamper wrote:
no i just felt bad cuz you were down on yourself after that game and i didnt think you were terrible, there was a lot of stuff outside your control and its not good to beat yourself up too much after a loss. and you really did have a good read on phoenix right away here!In post 952, Ausuka wrote:
You're just saying this to mitigate the massive wave of paranoia I am going to direct towards youIn post 938, scamper wrote:see ausuka, your reads dont suck
paranoia away tho! i dont particularly think i should be cleared off anything i did toward phoenix/galron day 1, there are a lot of people who are significantly townier than me
i do have a reason im town but im not sure how convincing it will be, hopefully it doesnt matter
pedit: eh I guess maybe? I could argue why I feel like it makes sense for scum to do that here but the fact you think that way makes it possible meg would think that way, soReach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

i'm rereading the game around this part and i get the vibe this is town!scamper. something feels counterintuitive to me about attacking me while both them and me are saying that ari is town for the meltdown and that ari/ausuka is t/t. bot not actually attacking me but ~pushing to sort me~. and then a few posts later (612) saying that they don't think me/galron makes and sense and that they don't even wanna kill me day 1.In post 586, scamper wrote:

this kind of "being all over the place" feels more likely to come from a town mindset rather than a scum one, i feel. because scum is obviously aware of who is town who is scum, and their informedness acts like a brake for making posts that jump all over the place like this, and lowkey act as shooting yourself in the foot on one front. and you could say "but scamper good at scum" yes i know. it still feels unlikely to do because this is not something that classically gets you towncred, but it does limit your future pushes. so.

i do still want explanations for the scumreads, as well as an answer to why you were townreading galron earlier on in the game

i feel like it's meg because their play kind of just *fits* with what i'd assume buddy-with-galron would be doing. his slot started getting negative attention pretty early on in the game. your partner going down d1 is bad, in a micro normal it's Bad because you could just get fucked over with tprs. but i don't think there was anything to actually townread galron *on*, so what do you do? you hope for distractions. you stir up shit and hope people go to other slots. and i'm reminded now that meg did that both with ari in ausuka/ari, and with scamper.
this usually wouldn't be an issue by itself, but the fact that the arguments they've made about those two were not very good and were consistently getting called out as not very good and just kinda feel inflammatory is hm.
like, i guESS it's possible the partner was just not here and/or not doing anything to stop the wagon but i feel like it's somewhat unlikely both scum just decided to flop because. idk because the universe doesn't like me that much.I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

Idk maybe? I feel like the way meg pushed those people doesn't really feel like creating distractions though. Like they're not easy pushes to make... They go after Aristeia and scamper which just leads to them getting into two scrapfights and getting ignored because like, obviously scum Meg wouldn't be able to push through a miselim on these people? Like, I just think it would be a kind of strange approach to take, and during their fight I kind of got the vibes Meg was genuinely frustrated. Again, I don't know how my viewpoint is impacted by being pushed by AristeiaReach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

disagree on you and me but hm. i think the difference is that the people they were pushing were already in arguments and that they thought they could manufacture better arguments against them than say you or me.
that said, i am getting the feeling i'm trying to fit the facts into my theory rather than the other way around, so i'm gonna take a break and see what others think before deciding how i feel about it.I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

mmm, i just wasnt sure it was actually scummy versus, like, delusional overconfidenceIn post 994, Coral wrote:If I were good then I wouldn't have gotten you off track with my post about Don
I was hoping we could wagon Xayah together after 130, but alas
fair enuf! yeah i'm not sure especially that it's clearing anymore, either, and rereading xayah i dont have good reason to townread her individuallyIn post 995, Ausuka wrote:
I see where you're coming from here and this is a point in her favour - tbh overnight I was thinking it was more likely you than Xayah because of that - but also like... I think scum voting each other particularly early game is just not that rare actually and although Phoenix seems like uh, quite a by the book player as you say I'm just not sure it's wise to rule it outIn post 989, scamper wrote:i think the points against xayah are fair-ish im just not sure phoenix makes her his first real push
and i want to note that coral kind of similarly had phoe/galron in poe-ish position but always higher than other people
but maybe i am reading too much into things. i'll see what xayah says.
im not sure that in and of itself makes sense necessarily, i think when youre down to being the last scum standing its always easier to clear people than make scumcases, however i still believe meg generally is just townie and their reads and commitment to them are real even if i found them, uh, difficult on day 1In post 997, Ausuka wrote:

Idk I don't know if I'm married to the argument I was making there I just don't feel like it's coral >.>
I guess like... I can buy that scum would townread phoenix there but I feel like coral would do something more like xayah, where they go for the hard townread, than do a waffly looking townlean which is like Classic Partner Read?not actually skitter.-

I think I could see xayah being like demotivated here as scum? Like especially d1 she goes for the hard tr on phoenix slot, he replaced out and the replacement kind of just does nothing and gets eliminated. I could see why it might be sorta difficult to bring yourself to effort in that situation?Reach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-

Although I guess she might have just been busy when the thread blew up idk
I still don't townread anything in her iso and multiple things in there baffle me so I think this is a pretty good vote for today, I don't really have much deeper thoughts than that tbhReach for my hand, I'll soar away into the dawn-
