Replacing In - Catching Up

[quadz08]

Part of the reason I don't play anymore is because I cannot be fucked to read the game more than the first read, and the fact that I never did contributed to my generally poor play.

Tue Ogre has special place for you in hell.

Juicy brainlessness cell where any thought of greatness is rewarded, then taken advantage of.

You owe to True Ogre one musk stick and one confectionary snake to be freed.

Do the people in the not backread camp not reread their games multiple times? If I live to endgame there is a decent chance I've read everything 3-5 times.

Yes. Games just tend to die when people start posting from those rereads as well.

I'm fine with you rereading, but please don't bring everything back up into a wall. You'll probably get townread, but then people will just think you're putting in enough effort, and they'll just sheep your reads - and then nothing new is generated.

[Accountant]

If people sheep your reads, doesn't that imply that you have control over the way the game goes? And if you scumread correctly, won't people sheep scum, and therefore help you win?

I don't read upon replacing in but that's more of a personal thing. If I was an emotional player, I would have to read more to get an ideas for emotions. To me, the game is like a chessboard.

You don't need the history to know what the optimal moves were and should be.

[Alchemist21]

I would think emotional players would rather just interact directly with the players rather than reread what already happened. Seems like it would be similar to the difference between first-hand and second-hand meta in that it would be easier to pick up on things when you were there at the time rather than reading it in hindsight.

I can't remember posting many walls ever. Sometimes they do manage to slip out, but this wouldn't be one of those times.
