it's my confusion that provoked me to stop saying TD is scum, btw

Has anyone played with TL before? Is this par for the course?

This arguing is futile. You do not want to upset nana.

I have played with TL before. He was town and he seems to be playing the same like he is playing as town.

My last game I played with TL he was a town PR doing basically the same thing he is doing now with generally inconsistent and flail-y stances and it was honestly one of the most frustrating town games I have ever played. To put it in perspective, I heavily wanted to lynch him even when he claimed PR without a CC. I honestly don't want to give myself the same headache of sorting him again. At least not this early in the game. It will consume me. He also claimed PR while not defending himself from a wagon at all, on day one. Like his defense

WAS

"I'm a PR" on day freaking one.

Yeah I already don't want to touch this topic.

In other news I have been awake for over 24 hours and feel like I'm not really processing things correctly atm but so far I am getting good vibes from Menalque's desire to press people and get some good discussion going. I have some gut townpings on espresso based on his meta. I especially can't tell how I feel about TD yet with my brain running on fumes.

I need to sleep before I even think about who could be scum here.

Okay I got some sleep and I take back the gut town ping on espresso; there's not even any content there so not sure what made me even say that lol.

Korinas opening felt awkward to me. I will admit this is my first upick type game so I feel like I might just not understand what's going on but something about that whole flavor claim (I think that's what you call that) doesnt really sit right with me.

I stand by not wanting to try to analyze TL yet because I care about my mental health today but I have to wonder what's going on from TD's perspective. It sounds like they have some history with TL but in that case I would really like to be enlightened how they think they can accurately read him. Esp this early on. On the one hand I wonder why scum!td would take this push on TL like that since his meta is verifiably unpredictable, making the push kinda seem opportunistic. On the other hand maybe there's some history to suggest TD wants TL out of the game out of fearing the slot? I need some backstory here.

Btw I see a parellel in this scenario with my last game with TL in which scum!robbnova was pressing a hard 1v1 with towncop!TL on day 1 early, later called it a reaction test and said TL failed, and then pushed TL much harder as a result. This isnt really that significant I guess but it's just weird.

I guess to summarize I am paranoid about elbirn and TD given their interactions with TL, but not enough to draw and alignment hints out of it yet. However I cant shake how awkward that korina opening felt.

VOTE: korina I

'm okay with this so far

eth0s · Post Post #138 (ISO) » Mon Sep 16, 2019 10:02 pm

Is menalque an alt of someone that is known for playing an aggressive scum game? This will help me read the slot tremendously

Korina · Post Post #139 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:05 am

All my openings feel awkward. Move along please.

Korina · Post Post #140 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:06 am

Honestly, you should remember that from forest fire blitz.

Korina · Post Post #141 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:08 am

Also, Mena's town this game. His playstyle is similar to newbie 1949, where he was town, and I was scum. The only thing we're missing to genuinely prove that is me rolling scum and me making a case against him.

eth0s · Post Post #142 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:20 am

Forest fire blitz. That's where I know you from! Thought we had played together before. That was quite a long time ago.

Korina · Post Post #143 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:24 am

Oh yea, that game was the first game I played on site. I've changed my playstyle as both town and scum since then, and I can tell you've done the same. Hopefully we're both on the same side this time.

Korina · Post Post #144 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:31 am

Also, I'm like 99% sure that we're all PRs because of the sample town pm.

eth0s · Post Post #145 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:51 am

Well if we were to speculate both of our roles in this game vs our metas from Forest Fire Blitz, then we're both scum here lol. But yeah my meta has changed a lot. And I'm generally not as pissed off as I was in that game.

Korina · Post Post #146 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 2:55 am

Actually, compared to my ffb meta, I can't be scum here. I was so fence-sitty and just awkward in that game.

eth0s · Post Post #147 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 3:20 am

Eh, I disagree. I don't want to talk about that game in-depth but rereading it actually makes me enjoy my vote on you more here.

Korina · Post Post #148 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 3:26 am

Ok, also, if you're wanting to look at my meta, look at newbie 1949. That's my most recent scum game.

eth0s · Post Post #149 (ISO) » Tue Sep 17, 2019 3:28 am

Typically I disregard when anyone tells me to look at one of their games to compare meta. If you've proven to be actively aware of your meta then you can morph your playstyle around how you think you should be seen as town.
