TOWN (S->W): Relentless, Serene, Kilga, SB, zmuffin <gap> Mala, Kagami, Drezi, Ank
I think scum is mostly in the MS players at this point since most of the people from shrinemaiden's play has been solid.
In post 408, SB wrote:I also think Pie saying that he'd rather form reads from play than rolespec (somewhere around 170 iirc) and then not really doing much is sort of weird? It sort of looks like posturing. I also feel like when he got his Rylai suspicion the defense of GIF was really over the top considering that others had been saying that GIF hadn't done much seemed to get a free pass?
my aim was to attack Rylai's logic moreso than defending GIF per se; I don't have a read on GIF. anyway, afaict most of the people who had suspected GIF were already distinguishing between having no content and being here but purposefully not doing shit, which I didn't have a problem with. Rylai had just said "no content", which is different than having content that is actually entirely empty (and jumped out at me in particular because it looked like a bullshit throwaway reason someone would come up with to push a fake read). I dropped it once he clarified what he meant.
In post 417, zMuffinMan wrote:Heh. While I think Rylai is quite possibly scum (or at least has not done anything that looks town), I don't think Drezi's points are all that strong. In general, I'm not a fan of picking apart little things and trying to make them appear scummy (like the AD comment) and the only real comment Drezi wrote that I could potentially agree with is the last one (though I can also imagine a perfectly valid explanation for it).
it was more that I agreed with the overall sentiment that Rylai is just coming up with random stuff to post without any direction behind it. the only point I found somewhat compelling in a vacuum was the second one, where he's trying to appear like he's knowing what he's doing/trying to game solve without actually doing so.
besides that, I thought the post looked town, more or less because he was seeing basically what I saw (wrt the 1st/4th points) and it looked like he believed it.
