I'll be around in 3ish hours to catch up. I'd appreciate an unvote.
Without any other thread context whatsoever, this feels like scum who doesn't want a replacement to come in and ruin their miselim.In post 1729, ActionDan wrote: I dont think it's fair to give whomever replaces in CCS's unenviable slot. Beyond an unlikely random of piece of info in the unlikely case the slot is town I also don't think we benefit much either.
My Page 5 thoughts are kind of just that this was an accurate read?In post 114, DrNickRiviera wrote: Actually, thought about it some more......this is just scum trying to bully my read
VOTE: Thomith
Responses like this are poking at someone tangential to the actual vote because Thomith feels like he needs to talk down the vote on him, but doesn't actually have anything to say about the votes on himIn post 172, Thomith wrote:Why do you think it's a good idea to end the day quickly?In post 171, Elements wrote:I've changed my mindIn post 169, RationalMadman wrote: I am down to vote anyone that isn't Grovyle or Dann.

Come VOTE: Thomith

grovyle is trying to solve the game I think
can you just take a step back and relax for a moment? You're not going to die today
If you're town, I do actually want to work with you, but you spending every waking moment in thread shouting at people about how bad they are and how good you are does nothing to help and actively makes people tune you out
This is not scumIn post 670, DrNickRiviera wrote:Except to vote CCS, or Thomith, or HuIn post 668, RationalMadman wrote: There is no use to delay the vote on awesomeming
Yes I have turned on Hu
So at some point Thomith goes from this to being a main reason for the awesomeming flip?In post 869, Thomith wrote:I was about to dispute this as a harsh read of the situation, as I didn't think Hu Tao strongly scumread Kay and just felt weird about her, and the unvote made sense if she did genuinely think she would feel more confident reading you later.In post 868, Black wrote: Hu's scumread on KJQ feels as fake as her scumread on Dann. I understand the concept of wanting to give a replacement a chance to salvage the slot but she disregarded her KJQ scumread so easily. It doesn't feel like a natural reaction to me
I reread the Kay vote though, and that didn't seem to be the case, that felt like a "I'm pretty sure you're scum" reason for a vote.
I think I'm inclined to agree with you because of that.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Hu Tao
I just find everything Thom says so removed from any indication that he genuinely believes itIn post 880, Thomith wrote:All over the place I'm struggling to get into this game.In post 879, Black wrote: Thomith where are your reads at currently
I townread Dann.
I townread ming I think because their "OMGUS" suspicion on Rational did seem like he was trying to solve.
I think Rational may be town because of the amount of resistance he is receiving, but that could be a personality thing which makes me less sure.
I disliked Elements early but feel better about them more recently I think.
I dislike CCS and Nick.
Goofball needs to do more.
I think Dann/Gibdo are probably the same alignment based on how they interacted earlier in Day 1 (I'll find the post where I explained this before)
If Hu Tao is scum maybe Salty is town because of the early scum read Hu Tao had there?

I quite like this. It doesn't feel like a bus voteIn post 1223, Gibdo wrote: VOTE: awesomeming327
I want to hear some really innocent-sounding arguments from awesomeming specifically regarding why he's reading Hu Tao as town and why he thinks "progression with dann is also good".
I really like this thought process post- awesomeming deathIn post 1270, DrippingGoofball wrote: We lost a neighborizer, well that sucks.
Prediction: awesoming was bus'ed by both their buddies. That slot was more useful as a source of town cred than alive.

I think this is a townie pushing something they care about, despite knowing it's wrongIn post 1439, ActionDan wrote: CCS "case":
A swing and a miss on Thomith:
475 is not sufficiently backed up by 609. 225 does nothing to further the claim of "trying to get a vote" on elements. It is on its surface only applying logic to lessen a potential scumread on Thomith by elements. Likewise 630 is neither here nor there in the context of the broader dialogue between Thomith and Elements early game and the question posed is making a comparison between unlike things namely Thomith's treatment of Elements and Elements treatment of RM.
695 is quite bad, even worse now that Awesomeming has flipped scum. First RM's case/read on Awesomeming never had any bite or logic behind it, so "getting behind it" and piggybacking on RM's content already would show a lack of care about the read. If the read was formed independently and didn't hinge on anything RM has said then RM breathing down ming's neck shouldn't come into account regardless.
posts 693 1008 and 1080 taken together do not mesh well if the cynicism for Hu Tao is overridden by Dann's progression on that slot.
Also its been said but calling DGB's reads TMI doesn't follow a logical perspective either.
The only thing that would make me even slightly hesitant is that this slot is so comically linked to Awesomeming's that I'd think scum would be more cautious.
You guys are more than welcome to eat Hu's lunch but flipping this slot has got to be the correct play.
I think this is probably true.In post 1539, RationalMadman wrote:Awesomeming gave up. He didn't vote Dannflor who we now know is/was Town. He simply outed 'I am tracker' and didn't even try to fake reads.
I don't think the timing or execution of the Black or Thomith votes when they happened are clearingIn post 1755, Grovyle in a Fedora wrote: hi i wont be able to post until tomorrow
welcome klick, I personally see gibido as genuinely towny esp with how they shared dann's thoughts putting them firmly into townpile, and wrt KJQ i put that down as someone demotivated by RM's play (which I sympathize with) + black and thomith both effectively swung the momentum towards awesome (away from hu tao i might add while dann was a wagon) which I feel effectively places them as town.
why do you think hu tao is not PoE material?

I have a pretty good track record of reading Hu Tao
I have a fairly limited experience with her as scum, but I also think she has a really clear town perspective when she is town
Definitely didn't feel that way while I was reading pages of drivel!In post 1798, Grovyle in a Fedora wrote: the entirety of klicks reads can be boiled down to how others are reading the Hu tao slot.
I haven't seen convincing evidence that Gibdo is townIn post 1800, ActionDan wrote: I mean if Klick couldn't see Gibdo was town that's probably the biggest red flag to me now that he's caught up.
That's because my intention wasn't to demonstrate to you that Hu Tao is town, my intention was to briefly express my own thoughts on the things I cared about most while readingIn post 1827, Gibdo wrote: - 1774 wouldn't give a decent player enough information at all to read Hu Tao as town, if there's more to your read here Klick then I need to see it.
I contrast it with this, which is a big wall of things that just serve to justify a vote that Gibdo clearly already wants to makeIn post 1827, Gibdo wrote: VOTE: Klick
1793 raises a few big red flags for me.
First, putting Hu Tao in the "Town" category would be a very scary and hasty conclusion for a town-aligned player to reach, especially when you consider the following:
- Dannflor, as the only confirmed town, hard tunneling her in D1 and getting NK'd right after
- She was one of the five players to NOT vote awesomeming after a clear ball drop
- 1774 wouldn't give a decent player enough information at all to read Hu Tao as town, if there's more to your read here Klick then I need to see it.
Second, after Klick replacing camelCasedSnivy (who was heavily scumread by most of us) and reading up on the game, I don't think a good enough case was presented for Thomith to match such a strong scumread on him. I'd have expected something far stronger than "this doesn't feel genuine" in 1777.
Thirdly, the reads on ActionDan are inconsistent between 1786 and 1793, especially for only being a couple hours apart. It gives the impression that town's favor is trying to be gained by agreeing with him while not actually acknowledging that ActionDan has been consistently making incredibly town-aligned posts.
I don't necessarily think it means Gibdo is scumIn post 1835, Black wrote:I'm pretty sure you've accused me of doing this when I was town before. I think this is a go-to read of yours when you don't really like the case but it's not a very good way to catch scum imoIn post 1833, Klick wrote: None of this actually says 'this makes Klick scum' and I don't think Gibdo believes in this as much as he wants to present something that looks competent
All of this, extrapolated from 'Klick townreads Hu Tao and hasn't thoroughly explained it'In post 1827, Gibdo wrote:First, putting Hu Tao in the "Town" category would be a very scary and hasty conclusion for a town-aligned player to reach, especially when you consider the following:

Doesn't matter. Please do the right thing and hammer klick
