Hey now, the same caution about the fog of war applies to you, Turkey

And holy shit! Shorted Mini Theme ever? The game ended on post 18!

Dead thread is probably spoiled. They usually are these days. That’s why I don’t like to give setup details

[Pine]

I’m fine with release, S_S up to you

Fog of war?

It’s a term borrowed from pre-satellite warfare. Without adequate scouting (and sometimes even with it) you don’t know where the enemy is until you come in contact with him. Sometimes your opponent is just beyond the next ridge and you don’t know it, others you think you’re about to find him when he’s actually miles away, looking for you.

In this context, most Townies are operating in the blind, with only the information at hand. It is easy to armchair quarterback when you have all the information in front of you, and the enemy’s moves seem obvious and simple to avoid. Why didn’t Xerxes go around Leonidas? Why were the Japanese unprepared for a counterattack at Midway? If you have all the information after the fact, it’s easy to forget that the leader in the moment had bad intel

Why did you wanna exclude me from early D1 pine?

You had solid recent meta on my scumgame, and a good scummer has to have a target

Like Pine dying instead of me is almost guaranteed a scum loss even with how good SS played.

That’s why I vigorously argued for S_S to kill me D2. He’d have coasted to an easy win unless PP jailed him, which was unlikely

Mind games, son

Besides, I was entirely prepared to concede if they figured out it was S_S. There’d be no point in going through D4 motions with me open
