Skimming through this is the bit where Meuh goes full-gamestate analysis over individual reads, which was an unexpected approach to me and was something I wanted to check over with meta. That much is probably a tomorrow project.

I concur that the page+gamestate-dependent reads at that time were sketchy to me.

I'm looking at yours now and had just gotten to the Fruit vote part and had gone back to find it, coincidentally enough.
I don't think my longer post on Meuh really qualifies as a case against her, it was more writing out my thoughts and notes as I track her read progression. It did end up influencing my read in a scumward direction but I don't expect to be very convincing to anyone else since that wasn't really the goal at all. Ari probably had the strongest reasoning for voting Meuh, I felt?

Yeah I'm getting halfway through this and am fading out, it's good analysis, fake or not, and I respect your playstyle a lot.

Definitely wrapping it up here though, several Meuh posts+progressions to track are too much to untangle right now. I could probably cook up some garbage to your last post but I'd rather leave it for when I'm recharged and better able to engage and evaluate.

, ,

They are mostly centered around the single action of switching off Pav, but you don't seem to have much issue with finding one post as sufficient reason for someone being scum :P

I wasn't terribly taken in by them at the time, but looking back the reasoning seems stronger than I originally thought. I may have been too focused on skitter to really notice.

Okay, good night! :)

I'm just happy to finally get to talk about my own posts rather than ones made by someone where I have no idea what he may or may not have been thinking

Everyone else has posted music at some point or another so this is basically the type of shit I've listened to the entire time I've been reading:



I'm not even going to bed it's just FFXII time, my brain is fried but I've accomplished 90%+ of what I wanted to today despite several wrenches thrown in so YEET.

We have READ IT ALL NOW FOLKS all that's left is to toss the game

It's a lot of words for a great fencesit. At first I was taken in by the "isn't trying to" part but the difference was that I didn't see his reactions to pressure real time, I was looking at his ISO in a line without respect to anything else. The second I looked I wanted to yeet his ass.
In post 4019, Coral wrote:Literally posting nothing on the slot would be better, because then at least I could later say that I was focused on skitter (which I mostly was, but I did want to take a moment to consider what was going on at the time, which was a lot of talk about Pav that I wasn't really sure on).
This is false, not commenting and ghosting would absolutely be worse, and I think I am the only person specifically to call this post out.
In post 4019, Coral wrote:Knowing that Pav will flip first, I would know that post would only ever look bad.
Again yikes at acting like not commenting on a partner under pressure at all sounds like an attractive option to you.
i mean i thought about partner equity on the post when it was made, felt like it is awful at level 0 and fine at level 1. idt everyone just ignored the post making it safe to make

The surrounding posts of 2051 are great, because they're backing off of her GuiltyLion vote in 1921 after he responds with good content.
Shortly after she hops off to token resistance (i literally ask her why pav and she hems and haws and hops off in the same post )

And there's still never been an adequate explanation to her hopping *off* of pav in , which is the crux of my argument

I repped out of one for pl issues that were uncomfortable
One was a short micro that i was kinda caught in that we won anyways
Two i got caught and flipped really early on

Best was perpetual elo by far
(Slaughter house was p good too but that's the one i repped out because of pl issues)

hmmm now that I have this meta... I.... don't know how to use it, gut tells me you're town, and that seems fine enough for me... cause what I'm reading feels like a similar vibe to that pyp you were town, so unless someone wants to scum case skitter. skitter!maf isn't something I'll be thinking about
