post in this thread to get criticism[read post 0]

[Gamma Emerald]

I’d like if someone would look at my recent scum games (past 4 months or so) and tell me where I can improve

Newbie 2041: Herbs and Spices
Large Normal 230
MBoS 10
Mini 2159: Cinder Blocks
Open 796: Haunted Village
Your Nightmare 4

Not entirely comprehensive but I think it’s sufficient

[Gamma Emerald]

Please take this seriously D:<

I'd say not looking at those games specifically but off the top of my head the biggest thing you could do to improve your scum game would be to spend more time evaluating your townblock and actively defending it, and/or to try to act like you're trying to pocket your scumbuddies more by trying to find them as town and then re-evaluating and then finding them even more town or stuff like that. Basically just to get more thought process into the game thread about how you're solving.

That’s quite a good idea tbh

[Gamma Emerald]

You’re right on some of those (MBoS 10 100% was lost to rand)
But I think if I had applied Krazy’s advice to Cinder Blocks at the very least we could have gotten farther in. When I won my scumgame on my homesite that got me an award, I took the bus play I did to heart, but not the work I did to appear like I was trying to find towniness in my buddies that game.

I like what I’ve got so far but extra critique might be nice

[Gamma Emerald]

Eh I could trade with Alisae but I’ve been clear with em about where I think eir shortcomings are in the past iirc, and I feel like dragging it in here wouldn’t be nice

[Gamma Emerald]

let me flip this on its ear a little: what do you feel you have difficulty with as scum?

Simply put I feel like I struggle with handling pressure as scum. I tend to turtle in response to pressure because I don't want to say something that'll make the situation worse.

[Gamma Emerald]

As scum I try to take what I would say as town and spin it to fit my scum agenda. That way I'm fitting the two schools of mafia play at once (match your town play / push your agenda)

tfw you use an alt to criticize players

(would still like some insight btw peoples)

I mostly play in alts, I would post this on a popular main if I had one, but most people that know me, know me as an alt player.

I don't know what difference it would make to post in any of my accounts.

(80% of people that know me, also instantly recognize my alts).

can't really evaluate a player if I don't know their play

[Gamma Emerald]

oh it's just you
idk what you struggle with in your play so idk what advice I can really give
