Open 820: The Siege of Aurelia — Game Over!

[PenguinPower]

Ok - I’m back.

[PenguinPower]

I have no read on PenguinPower lol

Not unusual.

[PenguinPower]

Not sure what to make of SS. His posts haven't pinged me either way.

Welcome to s_s.

[Something_Smart]

Well also welcome to me being V/LA.

[PenguinPower]

And i would prefer me at gate

Between the two of us….why?

Tbf - you refrain from voting d1 in a normal game so…what I said was fine.

i think trying to herd as many scum as possible to the wall is a good idea, and i know that i am town

[PenguinPower]

Town you would perform better than town me at the wall and you seemingly town read me?

Mmm

[PenguinPower]

Especially with s_s and implosion…

[skitter30]

it's entirely based on forcing scum to unoptimal places for them, that's the last chance we have for that
playwise i don't have a very strong preference either way; i'm not sure it's a given i'd play better than you at wall

[PenguinPower]

You have a much better track record with s_s than me? Mmm

[skitter30]

i don't? i'm not so good at reading him

[Something_Smart]

What are suboptimal places for scum?

It seems like where certain townies are matters a lot more.

[PenguinPower]

Like - idg trying to force scum to certain areas with the yolo adds and the fact there’s no information to really discern alignment in this phase.

Yeah - this.

[Something_Smart]

Specifically, scum have to use their swap to put themselves where they need to be. If we try to put scum somewhere they don't want to be they can just... swap out of it. But if we put town somewhere scum doesn't want them, they may not be able to do something about it.

[skitter30]

it is, as always, possible that i'm thinking of this backwards but if there are 2 scum in the remainder (say for the sake of the argument implo/ss) and they're both in wall one of them would have to swap, so we'd get information from one of the 'scummier' slots moving

pedit i see what you mean, that's a good point too, that's not how i was thinking abt this tho

[skitter30]

i also kinda feel like so long as one of {me/penguin} go to gate i don't have a very strong opinion on anything else outstanding

[PenguinPower]

I still stand stalwart, ready to be assigned.

[skitter30]

i find the fact that unwnd took gate to be rather scummy honestly

I mean, the obvious problem with this is that it's trivial for scum to frame it in most cases where it isn't true.

Trying to put 2 scum in a location is good, all else being equal, because it gives them fewer options for the swap, but I think that's less important than getting consensus townreads in the right place.

It'd be a very poor move on my part to join gate when Kyouko is scumreading me, on top of me asking you to join Gate as well.

[PenguinPower]

I find unwnd scummy, yes.

Nope - I meant catboi

[catboi]

So what do you think of unwnd?
