@Mod Is the timer correct? I think it malfunctioned again.
Oops, fixed (this is my fault, I keep thinking there are 10 days instead of 7)

Ok... @Mizzy... I think 72 is correct that massclaim is not good for town here. I don't think there is incentive for scum to do anything but claim VT in any setup. Except for...

a) If we are in a 1 PR setup, scum just claim vanilla, and the PR gets night killed.
In this situation, unless there was a NK gambit, the 1PR is JK... Scum could claim tracker or FN... So town can't even trust the massclaim result fully unless there is a doc setup. It might benefit town if we are in the cop and doc setup and cop has hit scum. And even then I'm not sure outing that before MELo/ ELo is good either.
I'm going to work on this meta today. I still think 72 is town, but the tunneling is giving me hives and I want some reassurance I'm not townreading aggro play if it's NAI or a scum marker for 72. Gonna feel pretty dumb if I stalled a scumwagon.
Also going to do an egix dive but I haven't crawled through his completed games yet.
After that I'll regroup and figure out what I want to do next.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
TOWN

FF Null to slight scumlean based on C4 hard defending Cyl and I now see Spangled as my main scum read right now.
Spangled
SCUM
72... you get your own category... Polarizing Scumtown??? In other words I don't know what to think about you. Your 1v1 with JDye screams TvT but your constant moving on scum reads is unsettling. Your no massclaim analysis is spot on in my opinion and what you say in your own defense about your playstyle makes sense along with your play at the end of D2. I'm gonna play nice with you for now... but my vote stays on Spangled.
I'm here now and and starting work on meta stuff. I'll check in for posts occasionally.

Because I want to be sure of my read since I stood athwart your elim yesterday. I want to be sure I was right to do that. I am still angsting about it due to screwing up a very similar situation in a game that ended about a couple weeks ago.
If I'd had time after replacing in at the end of Day 2 I would have done at least some meta research on you and a couple other players then.

FF is second scummiest. Why not wagon FF with me? FF has soft-claimed already.

How confident are you of your reads overall? Which reads are you the most confident of?
