I like to look at people’s trajectories, and the string of their actions combined rather than just one. This is what I meant by add up. One action might not be scummy in its own right, but in conjunction with other actions, even a townie play can end up seeming incredibly scum motivated. I can see a lot of “scummy” play coming from a town sided mindset, which inadvertently makes that type of play townie by default, which is why a group of actions that are incredibly NAI, mixed in with nothing “scummy” comes off as scum playing really well. I’ve been wrong with pushing this in the past, however, it’s generally when I’m a little overconfident with reading specific players. Generally, that’s what I meant when i said add up. Pretty basic stuff, but I believe the string of actions connected is often overlooked in favor of individual actions.
I remember you because we both have strong personalities, and generally go after each other at one point during the game. Most of the time, I play with accounts of yours and don’t even realize that the account is you until after the game is over, which shows me that it’s just our playstyles that mesh like that. It’s interesting, as we’ve both locked onto each other and
knew
that the other was scum. To be fair, I don’t remember a lot of our games together, only 1 or 2 come to mind, and frankly, even those aren’t too memorable when thinking about us playing together.
You’re right; I shouldn’t have assumed he would know that tiny detail. I myself only recently figured out I have a tendency to do that as scum. However, BNL has recently been around ScumMe multiple times, and town me. This includes a game he has modded. I’m considering recently the past 6 months. It isn’t that I thought he should have town read the post, I just don’t believe he should scum read that. It’s NAI at best. I didn’t have a string posted yet so he could tie things together either. He literally based it off of that one post, which I don’t believe he would gather a read from it, at least not with the flare he projected.
